I mentioned in Gordon's forum that I have family is Argentina and have an idea what might be coming to the USA. Argentina is the worst case come true; but it is livable if you take care. Keep alert and look for +1, if you see someone look for the second one, you see 2 look for the third.
In Argentina Crime is out of control, women kidnaped, rapes, children and girls sold into sex slavery, street crime common, armed robbery and muggings a everyday occurance not even worthy of calling the cops, shootouts with victims verses crooks, car jackings, burglaries, home invasions, car theft and drugs, prostitution and petty crime. But life is survivable for the majority!
You'll need a handgun, small, light, easy to conceal, portable, and only lacking one thing stopping power, and use multiple hits on the target to make up for that. Carguns are shotguns kept in the car and maybe rifles. I wrote a thread on the weapons you really need, here is a link http://www.transformetrics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3761 A .22 pistol or rifle loaded with CCI Stingers and good shotgun is the way to go. You want more power think a .357 magnum revolver or carbine. I have .22lr, .38 special. 9mm, .357 and 45 handguns; a small .38 or .22lr revolver or auto .22lr are the most commonly carried because they are small and light. If you expect trouble carry a big dog handgun or two; either have two guns or an extra clip for a fast reload.
Get in shape, be alert, learn self defence. Boxing is the easiest martial art to learn and the cheapest usually. It is under rated, MMA is now used by US Special Force mainly and that is a mix of Boxing, Wrestling, Kicking and Judo/JiuJitsu, MMA follows Pareto's Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle Boxing is simple, fast and effective, it is 20% of the arsenal of MMA and results in 80% of the knockouts & wins and has workable techniques. My College Judo Coach & Sensi was from Japan, a Red & White belt, and he'd seen a high dan grade Japanese Judoka and Karate Experts taken out by boxer's in fist fights in Japan; he held Boxing in high regard. Once Cops mostly used just Boxing & Wrestling, as did Soldiers and Marines. Am not knocking your martial arts or training, just trying to give information for people reading this.
PS have a knife, even as just a tool, a baseball bat to check your tires. A cane to help you walk. Think.
