One of the lessons from Ferguson, Missouri, ignored by the 24/7 media frenzy, was that store owners who stood and defended their shops with guns did not get looted or vandalized.

Shades of past riots when business owners defended their property when the popo wouldn't enter the area. I suppose that some businesses will recover from the chaos, but will the general economy in the area, which is probably not "enjoying" the recovery rumors we hear, get back on it's feet?

“This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it.”

or something similar, needs to be said to those who think they just might get a hankerin’ to loot and riot outside of their own neighborhoods.

Not surprisingly Obama and Holder (and Sharpton) want to disarm them so they too are at the rioters mercy

FWIW, there's an old saying that you never hear the one that kills you.

Very carefully! Kidding aside you install it the same way as concertina wire. In fact it comes with linked loops so that you can just pull it out and hook it to poles as you would concertina wire
