“Wondering what folks here think about outcomes if Zimmerman is acquitted.
No social chaos.
Riots in Florida, but not elsewhere.
Riots in Florida and outside of Florida, but limited.
Widespread riots across the country.”
Actually, I don’t think Houston will see much in the way of racial disturbance. Everyone I know has a CHL and will be more heavily armed than usual for the next week or so. Guys that usually carry a derringer are switching back to the 1911 with multiple mags, adding a shotgun in the trunk, or sliding a modern sporting rifle and multiple mags under the pickup seat. I am pretty sure the local thugs understand they are likely to end up as the next St Skittles if they try any retribution stuff here.
Not much worry in North Dallas away from the ferals in OakCliff, EVERYONE I know who is male and quite a few females are CHL. Personally I never leave the house with out my Glock 23 with 3 standard capacity mags, My Glock 17 with 3 x 33 round extended mags in the glove box and my DPMS M4 flat top with 6 standard capacity mags and a bumpfire stock setup worth every penny of the 350 i spent on it 600+ rounds a min of accurate fire.
This is just what I leave my home with on an average day I probably will double the AR mags to 12 fully loaded after the verdict.
My roommate has a similar load out in his truck two pistols of 45acp and an M4 with 6 mags were both Vets and go to the range once a week every week with the M4’s and our carry pistols. We both are experts in every weapon we carry. I am also a former sniper so if shit really goes down my M110 7.62x51 comes out for some long distance clean up duty.
If the darker members of the city want a fight here in Texas at least we will put all of them in the grave and eat BBQ over beers later that day feeling perfectly content of having ride the planet of more trash. A lot of us want them to bring it so we can finally get this cold war to turn hot and get the fight over with.
