I don't normally like to rant about personal issues, but since important issues pertaining to my survival are at stake, I wanted to see if I could get some opinions, option, or maybe some "glad it ain't me's"
My area is becoming a demilitarized zone...period. In the hollow I live in, there are around 40 people, and I counted a KNOWN 15 drug dealers, 2 thieves, a professional con artist, and one LEO who is RELATED to some of the drug dealers, and protects them. It just keeps getting worse and worse as time goes on. The local sheriff's department no longer goes out on calls unless it's a bloody murder, and there are only a handfull of deputies to GO on calls...2-3 per shift for the whole county.
Kentucky has passed a law preventing the arrest of persons committing non-violent misdemeanors including drugs and theft. Pain clinics are springing up like daffodils in spring, and thus the drug problem and thefts are skyrocketing. I and a couple neighbors have all had stuff stolen, and the police won't even come to file reports. Oh, and did I mention that the local LEO's have somehow 'decided' that open carry is illegal in Kentucky?
I've secured my residence as far as it can be secured. Burglar bars, barbed wire, thick doors, the works...but I'm afraid it isn't enough. If this place keeps getting worse, It's going to become Nicaragua here. And I can just imagine what it will be like post SHTF
My fiancee's family has a house and land in Wyoming she can have. Even though it's less land than I have now, and in a small town, do you guys think it's worth it? Should I bug out out of my current location and hole up somewhere more secure, or stay try to ride it out?

: . We don't have TV or telephone. I don't see a point in either, and it saves so much money not having it. I don't believe in central heat and air either.
