    if you're being surrounded by looters (not protestors, make this clear.) why not mention when calling 911 that your load is "sporting goods, a few rifles, a few pallets of ammunition."

    Maybe that might speed the response time?

    You will get charged with false 911 call.

    They will probably arrest you for a false call after they find out you are just loaded with cheap everyday goods.
    However if you tell them you have toilet paper and tampon like face coverings they may send the army. Lol!

    It’s better to tell them that protesters are armed. That might bring SWAT faster.

    "Well that's because they took the guns!"

    Meh, can't win.
    Loose if you stay home.
    Loose if you get looted
    Loose if you get shot
    Loose if you shoot
    Loose if you run someone over
    Loose if you call the cops
    Loose if you pull over and wait
    Loose if you quit
    Loose if you abandon your rig

    Definitely seeing a pattern here.

    Realistically, you probably won't even be able to make or even finish the call. They will swarm your truck like something out of the movie, "Black Hawk Down" when Michael Durant was shot down. And you won't have an MP5 to fend them off!
