Why do I need an AR-15? To protect my property from 30-40 feral hogs.
The year is 2025, the fields of America are denuded of sustenance after a plague of feral pigs swept across the countryside in 2020. Suvivors eek out meager farming on rooftops scattered throughout former metropolitan areas. It's 5 years post hog.
Fun fact, those feral hogs are descendants of Hernando De Soto's hogs, which escaped from his expedition as it traveled around the Mississippi river valley civilization before accidentally (and a bit intentionally) killing it with the cocktail of plagues his men carried. The next explorer to the region was a century later and by then the entire civilization was gone, so we know very little about them.
