I live in San Jose, and my husband and I were both saying the same thing today.
This also shows just how prepared that each individuals need to be.
I thought that we didn't need a gun because we don't hunt, and I think I'm wrong.
I'm also thinking that it would be a good idea for our neighborhood assocation to have a satellite phone.
Gun and Satellite phone are good idea.
I never had a gun in my life until thugs broke into my son's apartment, help him up at gunpoint and beat him--just lucky he wasn't shot.
I bought a .357 Magnum the next day.
After witnessing the gangsters running wild in New Orleans, I will be buying a shotgun and, because my wife is petite and has trouble handling the .357, a .22 or something for her.
Riots could break out for any number of reasons. We see now what "Lord of the Flies" is really like. Even if you do not live in a big city, you need to arm yourselves. If ever you doubt that, play a tape of that New Orleans film footage over and over, and read about the rapes and the murders. Get that gun!
