If I were the enemy.
#1
I was thinking of the threat made by radicals to target flyover country. If I were one this is what I would do. 
To begin with, I have no formal training in asymmetrical warfare apart from knowing what the word means. 
Property attack 
1. Select targets. People or infrastructure. 
2. Location: close to a main highway near a county line. Recon the target using different vehicles and different people (male and female pairs, they attract less attention) at different times of the day. 
3. [Imaginary target- Charlotte people's weekend home just down the road from me] Using a older SUV and dressed in a post office shirt so it would look like an express delivery, plant bomb with a delay, leave and drive into the adjacent county dump the SUV, change vehicles and scat.(there are places around here where you could roll a vehicle off the road and it might not be found for years).
4. Time of day: right around rush hour.
Infrastructure attack: same as above. The phone company uses contractors and all you need is a white truck with a magnetic logo. The phone exchange in this area gets worked on regularly, nobody would pay attention. 
Attack on a human target: same thing recon and figure out the time to strike. 
 If I have no training and can figure it out, I imagine the bad guys can do the same.
Without a rat this would be hard to prevent,  the problem for them arises, is that after the attack, we country boys will be on high alert.
Defense: I did a lot fo hiking in the wilderness with my Daddy when I was a kid. He taught me how to look at terrain and told me that I was good at it. I have every foot of this holler imprinted in my brain because everytime I go walk, I study it; defensive positions, bug out routes and places to set up ambush, etc.
To get country people to stand up and fight would take these kind of attacks but, when they do it's sayonara Antifa.
As long as this stuff stays in cities, they don't care.
A Democrat sweep in November might do it or if Trump wins and the radicals go to war. 
This is the kind of dumb stuff that pops into my head: "if someone opens fire on you right here, what we gonna do"..."jump into that depression, pop of a couple of rounds and scoot over there and work my way up that way and flank them" I don't know if it's a gift or I'm still 12 years old playing GI's vs Nazis.

Probably a little of both!  I call that way of thinking the "what if" game which I have been doing my whole life about all kinds of scenarios where I might need a quick response or reaction.  Especially lately with Bryan gone.

You only know what God shows you. All that training can help, but not if you can't absorb it. And some folks can absorb without training, so there's not much point in worrying about that now. Let's hope the country boys are already on the alert.

Thirty three thousand North Carolina men gave their lives fighting for the independence of the Confederate States. The memorial to these men in Raleigh was destroyed over the weekend. Caldwell County is watching its memorial and any attempt to tear it down will be resisted, for sure. Any time the radicals move out of the Socialist cities and into small towns they face an armed citizenry. They just don't have the numbers. They would have to change tactics to attack a rural area and to local lawmen they would not be "peaceful protesters" they would be terrorists. I don't think they will. They require "blue" territory to operate. They are fundamentally cowards; MLK and the Black Panthers, for all their differences had guts, they marched right into the lions den.

I've been thinking of these logistics, at a very high level, regarding my own neighborhood. There's some natural barriers that exist between us and a downtown area where stuff would most likely start. We are cordoned off by a few things...there two streets on one side that have access, and one street on the opposite side going up a steep, winding hill before reaching any houses. Those are streets, though...people wouldn't necessarily access that way, for sure. There enough people in this small part that we'd be able to easily keep an eye on the two vehicular points but also any back ways people could tromp through on foot. We are also very high up compared to the downtown area. The house across the street from us (we know the owners well), would be able to hear lots of funny business down below.

I wish this reply was as fun at Iain's rambling, but this isn't my style so much. That's my excuse. Smile
