Disaster on the Gulf Coast:
As was the case when Hurricane Katrina swept over New Orleans in 2005, serpentine Hurricane Harvey has become a major catastrophe for the area, and the country.
As was the case in 2005, we are now seeing looting. In addition, gangs of armed robbers are preying on isolated homes, businesses, even rescue workers, because robbers know that calling for police assistance is impossible in many areas. Even when police can be notified, response will be slow, or police will be unable to respond at all!
Authorities right now are mostly occupied with rescues. Affected area is vast, and resources are spread thin!
Thus, in many areas of the Gulf Coast, people trying to live through it in their homes and businesses are utterly “on their own,” and will be for some time.
Accordingly, many citizens will be compelled to handle multiple “security emergencies,” entirely by themselves. Opportunity to “get prepared” is long past. You’re either prepared, or you’re not!

I had stopped reading John Farnum’s blather quite some time ago, because he provides virtually zero information that is useful. What he is good at doing, providing condescending in manatees that help no one!
The quotes are the only thing worthwhile in his so-called articles
I have a friend/neighbor who tells me that he doesn’t think that it’s a good idea for him to have a gun in his house. He’s not really against guns. When he was a kid, there were a couple of guns at home. He just feels that at this time in his life, he wouldn’t feel comfortable having a gun around. I said to him, “Golf Club, or Baseball Bat”? He looked at me quizzically, smiled, and replied, “Golf Club, next to my bed”. I noticed a moment of doubt in his eyes. He asked if I thought we live… Read more »
The fact of the matter is that we are all on our own. This fact does not disregard the kindness of strangers (i.e., Cajun Navy-types) or the best intentions/biggest ideas of government. Storms like Harvey prove the limits of all kinds of outside help, and define the limits to which we must go to provide for and protect ourselves.
OK, let’s be honest here, but how many of you thought Ammolnad was going a little soft-porn on us?
So, ya’ think a ‘single barrel shotgun’ would not have gotten our attention to this story…;)
What a loon! Snowflake morons sure do confirm their stupidity when they post. Super Dud strikes again!
One good thing is that this disaster occurred in the great state of Texas where you can be armed and open carry rifles. If something similar happened in Commiefornia there would be looting on a scale unimagined as a great majority of people would be absolutely helpless.
