"Adding new members to your band of merry men can be a real problem or a big help. First they will need to be disarmed and quarantined. They will have to agree to abide by a set group of by-laws, and a means of enforcement of these laws needs to be established.

While it is human nature, to help everyone you can, what happens if the person is too old, or sick, to work? What if the person doesn't place nice with others? To what limit do you punish an offender?

In a large group, weapons will need to be secured in an armory, and only issued to qualified persons. While I am all in favor of the 2nd amendment, you just can't have everyone running around with weapons. Also there has to be some kind of control placed on alcohol, again, this won't be popular either but you can't have someone, drinking a beer, while on watch, or prior too going on watch. And let's face it, someone that is a habitual drunk, is of no use to the group.

Although, the world just ended, some people are going to want a drink, and that's understandable. And what to do, with those that are say, already in jail or prison for being naughty? You really can't afford resources, to keep someone caged, but do you let a killer loose? What about non violent offenders, say someone arrested for a simple DWI? Rebuilding society gets complicated fast. Have a nice day."

"Well about rebuilding society, I dont think that will hapen soon,If a infection is spreading like a wildfire.there will be mostly chaos in the beginning.goverments fall,because the goverment are just people to they want there familiy safe to when SHTF. They may go NBC(Nuclear biological,chemical)

And after the chaos,there are just Infected running around.But the small amount of people who have survived the chaos, Wont give there weapons away,

Reasons

1,A weapon gives power.

2.A weapon gives the feeling of safety,well I do feel safer when I have a weapon.And i'm not going to give away my safety feeling. Well I dont have a weapon,because i live in Holland,Only fired whit a air presured rifle a few times.

3.Search for a safe haven,

Well when the SHTF.I aint going to get a drink haha. That's a sure way to end. Atleast you wont feel the alcohol when you get shredded into peaces,hehe

Just my 2 cent

"Can you be a bunch of merry men, and still keep your gun?"

"In my plans there will be no alcohol, tobacco or other products that are of no real use. (no personal intoxicants, only alternative uses)

All the stills will be producing fuel for vehicles (ethanol).

Marijuana have a lot of uses (other than drug) like cloths, rope, and food (seeds have lots of proteins and amino acids) and the drug has medical uses although they are weird and rare-like things."

"Marijuana is the common name for the plant, is it not?

The hemp is the fibers in the plant.

I do believe only the seed pod and leaves are hallucinogenic."
