@shortstories I think about EU countries.
So I would not be afraid of guns.
The near houses have no farm only 2 houses have few chickens
Hard to tell if people would cooperate. Because no interaction with them.
Maybe try to cooperate and kill them after red flags?
@Stahesh
Try to form friendships with your neighbors and convince them to hoard supplies and guns
If everyone in the community already hoarded supplies and guns then there will not be a shortage where they come to steal
If a neighboring community did not prepare then you will be prepared as a community to fight against them if they attack your community to steal stuff
Nobody can defend themselves as a lone individual against the police & military because police & military are armed gangs
