Probably not."
I doubt you would have a problem if you were to break it down, place the '47 in the trunk and the ammo and clips in the front. Better safe than sorry.

The attached is a video from WWL TV in New Orleans. The mayor of New Orleans gives a very detailed report of the condition of the city. As bad as the national news is painting the picture, it falls short of the devastation that has occurred.
There are 8 refineries located in the New Orleans to Mobile areas. Nearly 1/2 of all the gasoline in the country is refined here. These are all shut down, and they don't know for how long. Even if they were capable of running the refineries, there will be a huge shortage of workers as they have evacuated. All of Metarie, Slidell, Mandeville, Kenner, etc is under water and there is no place for them to come home to. Large oil super tankers will not be able to off load to the refineries even if they could run. The pipelines and transport facilities are all in jeopardy.
The New Orleans port and the Mississippi River structure carries nealy 1/4th of the entire countries goods and equipment. The export and import of goods will cease for a long period of time. Fill up your tanks, stock up your goods. Prices will be rising

It'll happen.
"There are 8 refineries located in the New Orleans to Mobile areas. Nearly 1/2 of all the gasoline in the country is refined here. These are all shut down,"
Holy $#!T, the sky is falling.
I'm going to go and fill up my gas tank right now.

But I heard the Saints flew out to San Jose (CA) to resume their pre-season practice schedule!
It jumped over 30 cents a gallon in the Milwaukee area. Regular unleaded is now $3.00.

Funny until you see the dead bodies being removed from basement apartments.
Did a brief National Guard stint, post Army. Floods are worse than combat casualties in many ways.
Arcadia.....Arcadia....you are talking like a mind-numbed robot. It is not up to private enterprise to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Private enterprise builds stuff and sells stuff. It can do nothing to increase domestic oil production, build additional fuel refineries or build any new nuclear faciliteis in the face of envirnmental whackos and Dems in government.

Not only will gas prices rise but everything else we purchase.
Do you think we can build another refinery now? Gee, how about nuclear energy power plant? Anyone in favor of telling the EPA to tone down a bunch?
"...the facts are that private enterprise has not done anything to stem the tide of illegal immigration, nor has it done anything to boost domestic oil production or gasoline refining, nor has it added nuclear power plants, nor has it been able to produced a structurally sound urban environment in New Orleans and elsewhere. Our country's problems have not and are not going to be solved by free market forces alone,..."
Please explain to me how any of these markets are free to operate as a free market? Not one of your examples is a free market, yet you propose a solution of more government interference to solve problems created by to much government intervention. What is that definition of insanity?
If N.O. and LA have such incompentents as elected leaders, somebody voted for them. Actions have consequences.
I really don't know which site I saw it on -- I was looking at several early this morning...but I wouldn't be surprised if something similar does appear on the DU site.
Jim Quinn this morning also read a number of website postings from the liberal enviro whackos -- some of them were similar in tone: Bush could have prevented this if he had been stronger on environmental issues. Geez! Those whackos just don't get it.
I agree regarding the poor folks having to weather this. Last I heard the remnants were coming through Tennessee, supposed to also hit Kentucky and much of the Ohio Valley and possibly head east to New York and New England. Now that path may have changed -- this was the best guess from the weather folks as of about 7:00 a.m. this morning.
Anyway, this storm isn't over yet. The winds may not be as strong, but it's still dumping a lot of rain -- there will be massive flooding. I heard damage estimates in the hundreds of billions of dollars as of yesterday; the tallying from yesterday's hit still isn't done yet, and those who will suffer through the remnants will push that figure a lot higher. We still don't know the human costs yet -- I'm willing to bet there will be hundreds of fatalities. A truly tragic, devastating event.
You didn't answer the question. Did you or did you not cut and paste the entire text (your #94) from 'liberaldrivel.blah' ?
Is so, why ?
You mean you need an excuse?
Not necessarily wrong usage. Repair has more than one meaning.
"3: move, travel, or proceed toward some place; "He repaired to his cabin in the woods"
You could say the people were waiting for repair, or waiting to be repaired to a safer location.
Not being picky here. I hear the word used in that sense frequently and even use it in that sense myself.
They have an over inflated view of themselves and just how much control man has over the weather. Plop them on a farm for a few years and they will get some perspective.
"That was before the globalist A$$holes,..."
Actually, it was also the golbalists that figured out how to export the product to the rest of the WORLD! But don't let that get into your "more government intervention is required" argument.
