“If a tornado hits, if a hurricane hits, if a riot occurs, that they’re going to be out there alone, and the only way they’re going to protect themselves, in the cold, in the dark, when they’re vulnerable, is with a firearm.”

Just ask some residents of New Jersey.
When you count on the Government to meet your needs, you're setting yourself up for huge disappointment.

Depend on yourself - and be prepared to defend yourself.

Sandy spurred a rash of gun permit applications in my town and it only got larger after Owebama was re-kinged. I live in one of the safest towns in America (in NJ) for its size but after Sandy the police were busy with traffic duty, grocery store security and manning gas station lines so we were left to fend for ourselves. There were push-ins, robberies and suspicious people walking around on dark streets and trails.

This and the blackout after Irene made people go out and get what they needed to survive. Water, power and powder.
