"For my money I'd want to pop off a few shots at the hostiles before they cut my head off."
Remember how the Koreans saved their businesses in Los
Angeles? They stood on top of their stores with shotguns.
In France, they'd have to stand on top of their stores with really angry thoughts and wishes they had a Second Amendment.
I heard a first hand report from the French Quarter that
Asian merchants there did the same post Katrina. Big rifles and shotguns deterred the looters effectively.
