Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantRus: If the shit truly hits the fan (widespread civil unrest and breakdown), the authorities are screwed. I remember the LA riots in 1992 following the Rodney King verdict and the complete helplessness of the LAPD in handling the situation.
The police and National Guard are improperly trained and underequipped to handle anything widespread and, if the wheels really came off the wagon, you’d be on your own.
Not trying to get all “Mad Max” on you or anything, but you’d be better off hunkering down and waiting for some sort of order to re-assert itself. I remember when they evacuated Fallbrook during the fires last fall and it was chaos. They had the Marine Corps assisting the Sheriff’s Dept. and CHP and it was a goat screw. Bear in mind, this was an ORDERLY evacuation, not a riot or civil unrest.

ParticipantNost: Tried to send an email to your address, but no joy.
Checked address and everything, so I know it’s not my usual mentally defunct state.

ParticipantDWCAP: Thanks. My dad was an ex-Marine, and I learned to shoot from a very young age. I also learned to respect the weapon, but to never treat it as anything other than a tool. Societally, we’ve imbued guns with such a mystique that people forget they are simply mechanical devices.
I also had a lot of confidence instilled from learning to shoot. I was comfortably shooting a .30-06 M1 Garand by the time I was 10 and that focus came in handy in many other circumstances.
I now have a 10 year old son, and I am constantly having to deal with the omnipresent thug culture that glorifies violence and misogyny and treats guns as a ticket to power and respect. It’s pathetic and sad, but these are the times we live in. And, unfortunately, for many people a gun represents a single, drastic answer to a lot of problems. People like the clown in the picture above.
