I’d do the same as you if faced with that situation. Stand there with the muzzle pointed down and not say a word. Basically have the move on, nothing to see here look on my face. Just like the couple week old video of that group of neighbours standing in front of that white fence and armed right up. They did it right by not engaging.
I probably would be late to the party due to indecision on which weapon to bring out. Compound bow or crossbow? Probably the compound bow because the crossbow takes too long to reload. Pistol, of course because you might need some backup. But which pistol? Definitely not the CCW, because the magazine doesn't hold enough. Which rifle? Probably not the .30-06 as the Barnes rounds are just too dang expensive, plus the scope is sighted in for 200 yards. The Ruger 77/22 would be easy to pick off a few protestors with but it just doesn't make enough noise to intimidate. The Mosin Nagant is a heavy mother but I have 1,000 rounds of 7.62x54r (some armor piercing even), it's loud as hell and the bayonet is uber intimidating. I don't have a shotgun (never let them get THAT close) so that make the decision easier.

By this time, they're through the gates so I'll just have to hop in the F-350 and start running them over. Wish I had bought that Ranch Hand bumper.

OK, Matt's added levitation to his list of super powers. Be afraid...I haven't been a fan of levitation since I erroneously watched "The Exorcist" on the big screen when I was about 15. Scared the shtx out of me. I can do the jumpy, scary stuff like "Halloween" or "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" , versions 1-20 or any variation of the genre, but I don't screw with that supernatural/demon stuff. Not no, but hell no.

Its ok HRTKD man. We have your back. Now I've mentioned this before....when we decide to riot and loot the local Ford dealer, you can't be checking part numbers for the correct stabilizer upgrade. Can't do it.

JUST DRIVE BABY!!!! DRIVE!!!!

Hitting the Ford dealer was one of the activities I had in the book I wrote. When all the trucks are free, what do you take? The F-450 is the first choice of course.

I commend you for posting that, Jim. It was fun and interesting. Your crew had it going on. Best of all, no casualties save that one nerdy doctor dude that got infested prior to the formal inclusion to the group, but he was "handled" properly.

Well Skags, you may need to give Teddy a Zoom call. He's spending a lot of time in Tech.

While Scags is at the parts desk and your looking for the f-450 keys, Matt and I will be across the street stealing wide body Hellcats, assuming they don’t have a demon on the floor. Steal a Superduty? Why, I already have one. 😂

Im back. I even got sucked into seriously answering a 2021 question. Well played Mr. OP. 😂

Next topic to come up, do you guys apply pressure to the brake peddle using your left or right foot while driving? If you drive an automatic with 2 feet, you need an exorcist. Dang Bowtie, I have a joke for that. Can’t say it to a group of god fearing men though. I won’t even PM that one. Sacrilegious, dirty and very offensive.....from Reddit.
