Oops. That came out a little strong.
I don't think you can be safe from non-SS people who are desperate. The only solution is to convince your community to do things that are SS. If everyone has something to fall back on, there won't be any desperate people. At least, not as many.
Anyway, it we end up in a water-world or road-warrior type situation, your little 2-year supply won't be much help. In a more realistic situation, like the goings on in the middle east, a 1-year or even 3-month stockpile would make all the difference.

Oh, I see. And I happen to agree, to a point. My own stockpile is meant for storms, and icy driveways, and not feeling well so I don't want to go shopping. I really feel that my loud hens and even louder rooster are actually pretty safe - I have promised them (although maybe not their offspring; we're still thinking about that) a life, and feed, and free range for as long as Nature lets them have it. I live far enough out of town, and far enough up a hill that I feel that the *zombies*, which I'm not so very sure are going to materialize, will look for easier game. But yeah, I am somewhat knowledgeable of history, and understand that war, civil or otherwise, can be very nasty for those that happen to be in the way. One reason that I am very thankful for good neighbours.
I think that this thread has wandered far from its starting point. I'm sorry for my part in that :/
