“Houston is unlikely to experience significant rioting. Too many people are disappointed that looter hunting season comes too infrequently, too many people with CCW, too many people car carrying.”
I’ve often mused the same thing about Dallas. I would imagine that here in Garland at least every other house has at least one firearm. On my 4-way corner I know for certain 3 of the homes are armed. My 86-yo neighbor next door has mentioned hers before. I think the baddies will find superior firepower just about anywhere they try to invade.
Thank God for Texans and their stiff upper lips!
Dunno if you were reading it, but we’ve had the discussion many times on the Texas sub-board and that’s pretty much my observation. I’m a survivor of the 92 LA Riots, spent more than a little time up on a roof with a rifle in my hand. LA still has all the conditions needed for another 92 riot; I have yet to be in a Texas city where I have the same feeling.
Why not ask your 86-yo neighbor next door who mentioned hers before, if she would like to go to the range with you or perhaps she might allow you to clean her weapon and change out the ammo to something fresher?
