Real Life Look At Instant Social Chaos - Black Friday

Let's face it, during "stressful" events, we're really only one DNA link from apes fighting over a bunch of bananas.

For proof, you need to look no further than the "I'm gonna get mine" mentality of Black Friday bargain hunters the day after Thanksgiving.

This situation could just as easily happen...

• At the grocery store prior to a natural disaster
• During food distribution at a government aid center
• During a moment of opportunity when a nearby store window is smashed near a demonstration.

Opportunists become engulfed in greed and the "survival" mindset hits a whole new level.

Any thoughts on  how YOU would handle yourself during a situation like this (besides NOT being there in the first place?)

What Are The Best Weapons To Survive During Social Chaos?

We couldn't get to all of the questions that were submitted on last week's Escape And Evasion Live Broadcast so I thought I'd keep the conversation going and get everyone's feedback on some of the ones that came through.

Here's one from Shawn from Boise, ID:

"I'm wondering what kind of weapons would be best to have 'ready to go' during a riot that's not expected. I don't have a concealed carry permit but I'd want to be armed as much as possible for any unexpected violence.

What suggestions do you have that are legal but effective?"

That's a great question and I know that everyone has their own preference, so let's see how creative we can get with some "improvised weapons" or some small enough ones that could be helpful during a riot.
