Ha! Got ya'll beat.....
I ditched the smartphone in 2014 and went back to a flip phone. I never used any apps and never needed anything more than a map and road signs.
I typically don't own things I am opposed to, so never getting a smartphone if I can help it.
Smartphones and social media have done sooooo much damage to society. Both are catalysts to the insanity our culture is seeing right now.

Well taken. Since warning shots are no longer viable I think maybe racking the slide of a shotgun and pointing at the determined leader of a mob is the Least that could be done when surrounded
Better to back off sooner to avoid confrontation. I'be see the videos of citizens in cars with family surrounded by mobs
Not only mob scenes. In places like Florida. Everyone has a gun. There's many desperate people drugged up that have no respect for their own life. Confrontation can come suddenly and from anywhere.
That and 45 acp loaded to limit penetration and exaggerate impact.

The folks that live here year round normally drive sanely. It is when the folks that are winter residents that drive with no respect to others. This year has been a bit different a lot of the usual winter residents have stayed all year, and the accident rate has been up.
A friend of mine normally flies down to go to a large gun show here every winter and stays two weeks. He does not drive while he is here, lets us chauffer him around. He watches what goes on while driving. His response is "that we are growing another batch to send to you".

I have to differ. Come to Vero Beach. Sit on US-1 for 5 minutes. You'll not see Caddy's and Buick's with Q-Tip head seniors driving like they are on a drag strip blasting down the road. You'll see jacked up pick ups, Mustangs and Chargers. I live on US-1 and been here long enough to know
I think the good news is that we don't have to worry about mob violence from the snowbirds, unless there's free pudding at Publix . . .

I grew up in Vero Beach. My Great-Grandparents lived here. Have seen it all. The people that drive like that usually come from the cities up north, those are usually kids that their parents buy fancy toys for the to play with. Yes, I do see Q-Tips driving every make of car known, they have a problem of pulling out into traffic that is doing 45 and they do maybe 30 if you are lucky. We use to use turn signals when we turned. Nowadays folks do not use them or if they do they get about one blink of the light before they turn. They cut across several lanes of traffic, because they have no idea where they are going. Could go on and on.......

I've grown up and lived in Florida almost my entire life. Every time my wife and I travel out of state we drive 15mph under the posted speed limit in the left lane with our right turn signal constantly on.
Why? Well, since almost every tourist and snowbird who comes down here for the "season" does it also, we figured it must be how they do it up north (you know, in Georgia...)!

Don't get in their way, they will run you over. All the Retirees seem to be in a hurry, for what I am not sure..........

I LOVE Massad Ayoob and have almost every book he has written. You can't go wrong listening to his advice.
That said when it comes down to serious mob violence and riots. If I could have my wish I would like to have a little weapon I was introduced to while I was in the US Army; a Stoner 63A

I prefer the HK MP5 fully silenced. A long time ago in a different life I was a member of this: 8 Weapons of FAST Company Marines – Tactical Life Gun Magazine: Gun News and Gun Reviews

Was stationed there one time. Enjoyed where I lived (Seal Beach). Great climate and with the job I had we dealt with 22 different law enforcement agencies using our ranges.

If I explained how I thought the fastest way to break up a rioting mob was it might give someone an idea and I would not want to do that as it is not only highly illegal and unethical unless used as a last resort in extremist of circumstances to limit the loss of life. I am not advocating just opening fire on them either.
