That's the scary part of these scenarios- for me, at least. If your grasshopper neighbors have few guns, and not much in the way of scruples,
mi casa will soon become
their casa. I don't fancy getting into firefights with the guy across the street. Ideally, the neighbors are all great people and you can chat with them about disaster preparedness at the block barbecue. If not, the next time the block barbeques, you might be on the menu.
I'm a fan of The Walking Dead comic/graphic novel series (the TV series is just above average, IMHO) and have been since well before the zombie bubble. One of its themes is how, even after a zombie apocalypse, the biggest threat to those who survive is other survivors. The zombies just kind of become set dressing- it's the other folks out there that make the world a living nightmare.
