God bless them.
I like the shot-gun idea best. Hard to trace 00 buck to any particular gun. "With all the looters around they must have been competing for the spoils and shot each other sir".
And THAT my friends is the right of EVERY CITIZEN, EVERY DAY not just in areas hit by devastation but every single day in good weather and bad to protect their homes and families from thugs, murderers, rapists and looters. It's not only the ONLY way but...it's the AMERICAN way!!!
Hmm, no mention of race.
These are smart guys.
How dare these men be SELF-SUFFICIENT at a time like this....
I have heard that it is a very corrupt and wicked place.
I think his story would be much different if his home was in the flooded area. But if you have something worth saving and can stick it out Why not? The dry area's will be the first to have power and services restored I would think, so hopefully they won't be in the dark much longer.
I'm not in the situation so I can't stand in judgment of the prepared homeowner, but I think that inconveniencing the looters by making them find an unarmed generator owner is only a partial solution.
To Carolan, it is a COMPLETE solution.
This reminds me of an asian grocery I recall from the LA riots. The owners had chained together a line of grocery carts around the front of the parking lot as an obstacle to the store itself. On the roof of the store were two shooters at opposite ends of the frontage with full cover over the front parking lot and crossing fields of fire. Two other shooters were in the front door of the store. Any rioters trying to get past those shopping carts were going to get shot up real good. These guys knew what they were doing and the rioters could tell. Surprisingly enough, this store was left completely alone while those around it were pillaged.

3 1/4" OOO gives you a little more range and as many pellets
A year or two ago, friends visited NOLA and came back saying they heard it had won the distinction of being the most violent city in the US. I knew it had gotten pretty bad, but still not sure how true what they said is.
these guys prepared..in light of the disaster in new orleans, I've recently made plans to become self-sufficient in event of a disaster, up to and including a terrorist attack by ordering 60 days worth of MRE's for 5 people. It's not exactly cheap, but those things last forever..
I wonder if the MSM will report that guns have probably (someone showing up with a machete asking about a generator isn't exactly looking for work removing fallen trees) saved these guys lives..
This is Great. These People, Citizens of the United States of America are doing what the Second Amendment says and i'm proud of them and they are in my prayers. This comes from a NRA life member. God Bless America and all who believe in HER.
God Bless Charlie Hackett and John Carolan- true Americans both.

Bad idea to be sneaking around the house of a guy who think's he's back in Nam'. :)
