Somehow I think Rita will have different after effects than Katrina.

Somehow I think you are right. :)

There are no looters or looting...just undocumented consumers initiating indefinite, deferred payment plans.

Right, 5 or 6 dollars per gallon instead of 3 if those refineries are damaged badly.

Perhaps, but downtown Houston looks pretty scary with people running lights and some minor civil disorder going on.
Some neighborhoods of Houston (5th Ward for example) are no better than areas of NO.

The use of arms to defend and protect you and yours is justifiable retribution. (Sounds good and I hope I'm right.)

Texas law is not nearly as tough as that in Louisiana. Lest we forget, they can shoot you down for knocking on their door in the evening hours!
Fat lot of good that did them in stopping looting when the city was flooded!

I lived in Austin for a while and gotta tell you, I love that state. Just a culture of good and well intended, hard working, proud Americans (for the most part).
One last thing. IMO, Texans in general are very respectable proud people. They welcome strangers with good intentions and out those with malintent, sometimes with deadly force.
Ya'll be carefull, good luck and God Speed.

Besides the firearms issue, there is also the fact that Texas isn't a welfare ridden cesspool of immorality. Like Mississippi and Alabama before it, Texas will avoid much of the disgrace in New Orleans because it has competent elected officials put in place by people who value integrity more than a welfare check.

MS-13 and its ilk are probably already working their way towards the targeted area. The problem here isn't going to be locals, it's going to be undesireables coming in from outside.

There's probably 250K Texans with Concealed Carry, active or pending, for a start. As for the number of guns in TX?
"If you take 17 million people in Texas and multiply that by about three, you've probably got that many guns." ~
Jim Brown, legislative director for the Texas State Rifle Association (speaking in 1997).
