Lights Out book -- brings up a what if question

[tarheelsman71]

My daughter and I were extra's in the remnants film. Wouldnt be surprised if we were edited out of it by now. I think it was in 2010 when we show up in raleigh for the shoot. We were in the scene after everything is over and there is a football game. My daughter is holding a squirrel on a stick... They added a couple more actors that I have actually heard of, and have seen in other movies. Tom Sizemore is one of those. Although he looks ROUGH. But truly to stay on topic...Hero of the subdivision...Unless you are a mega rich former Seal instructor, you arent going to be able to arm the local populace in your subdivision without a ton of training and resources, and be successful. IF you setup the subdivision before the balloon goes up then maybe.

If you have read Lights Out then you might remember this scene.

Mark and a couple of guys get into a shoot out with some thugs and kill/capture some. They send someone to go get the sheriff, he shows up 20-40 minutes later. Mark and Manny have to surrender the weapons that were involved in the shooting.

Would you surrender your guns if you didn't have any more and there by leave you and your family defenseless? The character in the book gave up his sidearm and his rifle.

Fortunately Mark had an extra rifle but not like the one he surrendered to the Sheriff (who says he will get it back eventually).

What if you were involved in a shootout in a similar situation of nationwide power outage. Would you go get the sheriff and risk losing your weapon?

The bold text are the 2 questions at hand. Food for thought.
