I would eat everything in my cupboards, and by the time that was gone (let's just say a week), I'm sure I could kindly ask him if he has any to share.

By that time, everyone would be in the know that "shit just got real", so I'm sure there would be a lot of people who were actually concerned about other people being able to eat, and that it was counterproductive to lock their doors and shoot anyone who gets close. There are also people in modern society who are paid full-time to patrol the streets and keep the peace; while I know they can't be everywhere at once, they could probably maintain a non-catastrophic level of security, and would be joined by vigilantes and other decent-minded people who just want everyone to get out of the situation alive. I know that's what I'd do in such a situation.

I wonder why you didn't even entertain "sharing" as a possibility, I think it shows an unnerving level of innate psychosis in the human race, like we're all just itching for an excuse to smash our neighbor's skull open and drink their blood. Grow up.
