in my case, i would choose a shotgun, because i enjoy the look and feel of a shotgun, and i would like to beat a zombie with the hardwood stock, everyone allways says that a rifle is so much better, but is a rifle REALLY better? shotguns can be just as acurate with a proper barel, and if your not a complete ass you can hit a zombie if its closeup, and its big enough of a boom to alert your friends for a while around, even if it alerts zombies, the only problems i could see is heavy huge ammo and the clip size, 6 is enough, but why have 6-10 when you can use 30? well, i guess the AA-12 solved that, but if you rock and roll with a 12 gauge, your going to be hurting or out of ammo in a jiff, and even with the (25 round barrel drum?) why do that when you can have a 75 shot barrel cip for an ak?

I am quite impressed. Makes me sad that I live on the East Coast and probably won't ever meet you, but also hopeful because we are taking a mass exodus outta there. Also, I like your views on many a thing xD

Quislings tried again this past evening. Truckload of end of season pumpkins and melons coming in from Yakima Valley, three trusted 10-wheeled trucks bumped up to barrier, guards and Zhunds were checking cargo, undersides, cab interiors.

Checking manifests, ensuring humanity of those in trucks, first was allowed through.
Second sled contained mixed with assorted scrap metals in bins, back half live cargo of chickens we needed for our people.
Took an hour with pokes, prods, checking underneath well, this truck allowed through.

Third truck, driver seemed nervous, strained, more agitated than someone who had driven in center of armored convoy mere hour and change on clear roads.

George, the "Old Guy" on Gate Duty that evening was suspicious during Hunds nosing around inside cab and in engine compartment. We'll never be sure what happened then, what is known is Fat George double tapped driver, called for HELP, Hunds went crazy.

Driver had released his cab, flatnose with its hydraulics sent things upward, four Zed somewhat comfortable with heat and noise were loosened.

Little ZHunds went postal, as Zed fell out of their hiding places, hitting engine and then out to roadside, two of our little Gin-Gins went after the first down taking its right leg out, going hard for anything that continued to move. One, "Fris" was bitten hard while removing Zed's hand.. Bleeding out he continued his attack until this Undead was shot in forehead. George finished off Zed and Fris as his pistol went dry. Reloading quickly, looking for his fellow Guards, Zed escaped, headed down ramp into FEO. George quickly took up one of the kids AR, charged, took aim, Zed on ground took a last bite, connected with Georges ankle. Shaking Zed off, he was able to down the quick Shamblers with carefully placed shots.

Driver, rolled over with his last gasp, pushed his button. Truck, Geroge, kids and..

S.M Sterling's "DIES THE FIRE" and follow on books. What happens when the lights and chedmistry that supports modern Man suddenly goes out.

John Ringo's "Ghost" and follow up books. Damn good action adventure, sex and gunfire.

C.J. Box, his books are based in modern Wyoming. His hero is a common man, finding himself in the oddest of mysteries, murder and mayhem. Joe Pickett simply is Game warden doing his best to keep alive and above water, often literally.

Anything Louis L'amour. "Education of a Wandering Man", his "biography", where the source of his stories came from. People, places, those "guts" of a damn good read.

Elmer Keith's works. Colonel Jeff Cooper. Skeeter Skelton. P.O. Ackley.

These are just a few of the "American" authors I've enjoyed, old and new. There ae hundreds, nawwww, thousands of damn good, informational books, things of our past that always have something to teach.

I'll use this spot on ZW to pass on those neat tidbits in print form that will help and educate as well as entertain.

Will be filling this thread with advise and observations from Free Easty OrYgunn's Zhund breeeding and training.

I will advise my Readers that E*V*E*R*T*H*I*N*G written here will be either right at, or during The Panics and slightly after Day Zed.

Like the movies or a good novel you've immersed in, I would that one "suspend their disbelief" and go along for the ride.

Your opinion(s) and Reasonably Knowledgeable Individual words appreciated.

The Big However in **my** threads is that I will not permit "leetseek" and the assorted bullshit that clogs up good discussion.
Humor and jokes, yes and maybe. Bullshit? Color it gone.

Hounds, Zombies, Training, and Interaction, Use and love of good Dogs in the gray days after DayZed.
