An simple RPG or JAVELIN in top attack mode, should be a suitable countermeasure to your "so called" armaments.

Too right, she still thinks you should unplug everything electrical when you go out to avoid fires, and tidy up before you go on holiday in case you get burgled.

Most do, and on the others, it depends on who you ask. On my guns: 1911A1 pistol - yes, a physical thumb safety, a grip safety, and a half-cock safety AR-15 rifles - yes a physical thumb safety on the lower receiver - once the safety is flipped to FIRE, the weapon is hot. CZ-452 .22 rifle - yes, a physical thumb safety (on the bolt itself) Henry H001T .22 rifle - yes, a half-cock safety Springfield XD40 pistol - yes, a grip safety and a two-stage trigger safety - just grip it, and rip it (unsafe in my view) Of those guns, the only one I where keep a round in the chamber, and the pistol cocked is the 1911. I consider it to be the most safe in that condition. The XD40 I don't want to leave laying around in a condition-1 state because anybody could come along and accidentally fire off one or more shots unless they're familiar with the "round in the chamber" indicators on the pistol (there are two, and they're very subtle). When I pick up that pistol, I drop the magazine, and rack the slide just to make sure it's unloaded. I don't keep the .22 loaded, and the AR's all have a loaded magazine in them, but they don't have a round chambered. It only takes half a second to charge the weapon, so I don't see a need to keep them in condition-1 (besides, I my 1911 is my primary self-defense weapon).

You are forgetting these[^] ;)

Not too many people would think to bring an RPG in an urban assault setting, espeically if they're just looking for food. That, and I don't know of anyone that can legally own a RPG (not that some folks wouldn't have them). Further, it would probably be more likely used to gain entrance to a structure as opposed to a defensive weapon inside said structure.

I've always wondered why you've got two heads. Are you a memberless group? (and I didn't mean it in that sense :) )

Good strategy. Environmentally correct. I don't have studded tyres myself, and I have no chains. But the salting of wet, icy roads is very efficient here. On dry snow/ice you don't need studs.

I always found that if you drove while it's snowing and you focused too much on the snow coming down towards the windshield that it looked as if you were jumping into warp speed or something! At which point you can no longer look away from the stars snow flying by your spaceship car. :omg:

You just described exactly my problem.

They've been up other trees, maybe, but not that one.
