Ok Troops! What's your plan when the Eat'em Ups appear?
Do you actually have weapons at home?
Would you board up your house or find a better location?

I have some carbon-fiber hockey sticks laying around (real hockey, not ice hockey). They are durable, have excellent range and are properly balanced. That'll be the first thing I'd pick up here in the house.
I also have a helmet from when I used to be a goalie. It has a badass print, and offers excellent protection versus blunt attacks without blocking sight.
Also, I have a plethora of tools and materials laying around with which I could easily build some weapons like spears, (cross-)bows, or maces. There should be an axe and sledgehammer in the garage as well, but I prefer the hockey stick's speed and agility.
I would never want to stay in this house, as it's just positioned terribly. It could easily be swarmed, and there are several ways to make your way inside.
I'd probably try to make my way to Langweer, a town roughly 125km away from home, where my father's yacht is located. I have the keys, it's pretty quick and offers room for a few others without being too big to handle alone. It's also pretty sea-worthy - we've used it to sail to Harwich from Den Helder, then back to Hoek van Holland (during storm). It also has a reasonable amount of canned food stored under the floor, so the only trouble would be clean water to drink.
Hey Capt,
125 cliks is a good distance to travel. What would you be traveling in that would make it if the terrain wasn't kind to you? People fleeing, cars stalled?
The weapons sound good as does the yacht. How would you forage for supplies when needed?
Wish'd my old man had a yacht I could run to - that is awesome.
All I've got is an aluminum bat and a ball-peen hammer. Improvised melee stuff.I live less than a block from the National Guard, so I'd want to see if they have any weapons. A few blocks south is a friend who keeps a nice assortment of shotguns and revolvers.
Jehovah's Witnesses don't put windows on their buildings, in order to avoid vandalism. I remember there's a Kingdom Hall right outside of town, and considering their apocalyptic beliefs and conservative politics, I bet they'd have lots of guns. That's where me and the wife would hole up.
The bit on windows is correct, but I know for a fact that Kingdom Halls do not house "lots guns," lol! No, I myself am not a JW, but I have family who are. I've also occasionally attended said Kingdom Halls in my youth.
I just wanted to let you know that you'll have to find another means to acquire your guns.
EDIT: Oh! You mean Jehovah's Witnesses would have guns...maybe, but I wouldn't count on it. For a minute I thought you meant they store guns at the KH. XD

Police stations would have more firearm capabilities than most National Guard or Reserve stations... just saying
Good call... better drop all the other plans and chill with the JW's. You know everyone's going to swarm the police and army places. But, really, who's going to think of the Jehovah's Witnesses? I'm pretty sure I could even off-road it to get there. Or drive on the bike path.
