Bullet proof bug out vehicle for sale

[knuckle Head]

Good point BURT,

Got to make sure you have good 360 protection for the perceived threat

 

[Burt Gummer]

All in good humor. All about percentages/statistics. The chance of me ever being in a running automobile/truck gun battle are about as insignificant as me being the victim of an active shooter. Not even really worth taking too seriously on any level. Of course, the media makes such things that are a .000001% chance in your lifetime something you should dwell on and fear.

Speed is life.
That armored car is a slow pig. Wouldn't take much to stop it really.Any vehicle really is only as good as its tires. Cheap spike strips stop virtually any standard tired vehicle. Any light truck with the ability to get moving would be better as long as you are ahead of the situation. If the 's' has already hit the fan then there won't be many land bound vehicles that will get you out of the city limits. IMHO.

I have held a Class C license a Class B License and make my living with my Class A license. I have driven dozens of commercial vehicles from Modifed Vans made into school buses to 96' long Hay Semi's I currently make my living driving a 105,500GVW Dump truck and PUP trailer combo for a paving company.

AND you need a Class B license (which is a Commercial License) to drive a vehicle over 26000LBs GVW.

YMMV

If s hits the fan the only thing you will need to drive any vehicle is fuel. Nothing else will matter.

For sure. Fuel stations will become armed fortresses. Every drop worth more than its weight in gold. People will defend it with their lives. As they will potable water.

[Sun195]

the armored truck would be fine, just put a cheap fake company logo on the side. floral or something so it looks like you have nothing useful. covering the gun ports with flaps would be a good idea too. the bullet proof cars would likely be a better choice, aside from the lack of extra cargo space and gun ports.

Ice Cream Truck!

I couldn't afford to feed that monster and, psycologicaly, it would be an almost irresistible target.:gun21

The question of where you are gonna park still beckons. You need land or good friends to bug out to

Depends on the SHTF situation. In the event of a major earthquake in the Portland area that knocks out water and electricity, and if your not in an area that suffered a large amount of property damage, then it might be best to 'bug in' until the immediate hysteria wanes. A motorhome could be parked in the driveway and provide electricity to the house for a few hours each day to heat water, keep the refrigerator cool, etc. You could sustain this for several weeks without needing more fuel. Presumably there will be alot of abandoned cars that could have gas syphoned off as well. This would better than relocating to a refugee center, at least. Opsec would be important here of course, don't run electric lights at night, etc.
