I hate to think of all the bad things that would happen if society collapsed but I think I would be able to survive and take care of my family. People are very resiliant and most of us would band together and help each other out as much as possible. There will always be people that try to loot and steal for survival but I think they would run into too many groups like these, I don't think they would last too long.

You would be surprised at how fast people would learn to adapt if all modern technology went down. Sure it would be chaos at first but it's human nature to adapt especially when it means adapt or die.
I am with you guys on this, people will adapt pretty quickly and band together for the most part. There is some truth to safety in numbers. Marauding bands/gangs would disperse once all the large stores are fully looted, then then is no sense in trying to sustain a small army on nothing, besides they would be turning on themselves in no time flat.. As far as being a crack shot at 100 yards, nice going. I would hate to mention that people unlike cans tend to move and perhaps shoot back.
Right now, I'm more concerned if any of that oil from the spill will find its way into out food chain. That surely gives a new meaning to eating blackened fish
