You hear screaming in the other room. Upon inspection you see seven trained killers, with no respect for people or the law, armed with high-end guns, body vests, and other weapons, fueled up on adrenaline... What do you do?

Tell them to leave. (Turn to page 220)
Grab your hunting rifle and shoot them. (Turn to page 139)

You grab your hunting rifle and shoot several rounds at the cops. They immediately take cover and pull out their glocks firing back at you. You get shot 24 times and die.

I admit I got a chuckle out of "choose your own adventure" as a rhetorical device. That's pretty good, I'll have to try it sometime.

As for actual results, yeah, you're probably right, one person with a .30-06 probably isn't going to take out six or eight Fedcoats. But realistically there are other ways of killing Fedcoats that don't involve shooting them. I would have to know the layout of the farm to figure out what could be done, but anyone worth their salt should already have done that homework. It's sad that we have to be constantly on guard against State terrorism, but until the enemy country is smashed into dust, you'd do well to consider the tactical elements of defending your property. Where are the sight lines? Can the enemy be corralled into a small space? Where are the best defensive positions?

You do that research and you've got a leg up on 99% of people. I guarantee you that guy who lives in a subdivision and fancies himself a survivalist because he owns 3 AR-15s hasn't given the first thought to actual tactics.
