It's kind of a flawed question, since choices would still have consequences, even without a formal system of law. Try to rob someone, and you'd probably get your head blown off. Try to kill someone, and they'd try to kill you right back. A more interesting question would involve a scenario where there are literally no consequences. Otherwise, this thread is just gonna be "What would I do in a Mad Max world?" type thing. But then again, I love Mad Max, so here's my two cents on a lawless world:

In the end, the people who talk big about how many people they'd kill/rape/rob would not last long. In a world with guns, bombs, crossbows, knives, etc., life isn't survival of the fittest. It's survival of the person who isn't a pencil dick that needs to hurt others to feel good about themselves, and has no qualms about finding a way to be self sufficiant in a place hidden from the rest of the world.

Thus I suggest that in the event of society breaking down, we all pool our resources and set up a secret base somewhere. Batlord can bring the booze, Innerspaceboy can bring his servers that are surely filled with porn (as well as generators for electricity), Chula can bring his guns/knives and his dad humor, Exo can bring all his movies, Ki can write a survival guide making lists like "Top ten plants to eat to survive in the post apocalypse", and so on.
