I just checked the doors and wishing I had an AK-15. My husband purposely chose our new city for its low black population because living through the LA riots was mind blowing; how society could just unravel on a HUGE scale. I could see the city burn in innumerables places and the blacks and the Mexicans were legion storming the stores.
Then again, we are 70 miles from the border, and now my fear is for other mayhem.
Your fears are justified. Insane times.
You might consider a 20 gauge shotgun with maybe an extended magazine.
An AR might be a problem if you are in one of the communist states.
