Interest Rising in Concealed Handgun PermitsHmmm, there's a toughie! Now why would anyone in south Louisana want a concealed weapons permit just before the beginning of hurricane season? Gosh, I keep twisting it around in my head and can't come up with a reason! I mean, Ray Naglin was re-elected Mayor, wasn't he? Isn't he a STUD HOSS warrior man of the people protector of the innocent? I mean, tears, racist comments and Constitutional violations aside.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The number of people applying for concealed handgun permits has risen since Hurricane Katrina hit southeast Louisiana, but Louisiana State Police aren't sure why.
Hmmmm, let me posit my own reply to that puzzling question:
ANYONE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA WHO DOES NOT NOW OWN A SERVICEABLE BATTLE RIFLE — A QUALITY AR-15...MEANING ONE YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW DIDN'T BUILD OUT OF THE CHEAPEST PARTS..., A 100% FUNCTIONAL AK-47...THINK "KREBS"...AN M-14/MIA, AT THE VERY LEAST A GARAND OR A LOWLY SKS — AT LEAST A DOZEN TESTED MAGAZINES WITH CARRIERS AND AT LEAST 1000 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IS A DAMNED FOOL!
They want the "concealed weapon" to fight their way to the battle rifle. Duh!
Actually, I lived in New Orleans, Kenner and Metairie for 7 years, and I managed fine with a Mini-14 and a Colt DS-II. Honestly, the typical thug/potential looter was historically very poorly armed in the New Orleans Metro area. In addition, they had next to NO knowledge or training, even with what they did have. A decent weapon and a little know how was all you would ever have needed. On the other hand, I was in Laplace, LA (20 miles west) during hurricane Andrew; a tornado ripped the house we were in up a bit, and we immediately went for the pistols. The cops made it to the "nice" neighborhood that the house was in within 2 minutes. Within 30 seconds of that, they were turning away carloads of people from the bad parts of town with crowbars in their hands.
ReplyDeleteI lived down there most recently from 2002-June 2005. I left 3 months before Katrina hit, and you've never seen a happier puppy that I didn't have to fight my way out of that hell.

I like your reply, but I fear many of those folks arent getting a CHL so that they have a handgun to use to fight their way back to their rifle - sadly, many probably believe a handgun is sufficient.
ReplyDeleteI have known licensees who hardly ever carry, I have known guys who had a CHL, and battle rifle(s), but dont keep a rifle handy, or dont have more than one loaded magazine ready for their rifle. I know shooters who dont have CHLs (and in Tx we cant open carry either), and guys who only have two magazines for their battle rifle, guys who only have a box or two of ammo on hand, or have multiple rifles and an average of less than a hundred rds each.
Even as many learn the neccessity of some defensive measures, it is easy to take only the first step down what should be a continuing path of preparedness.

They need the CHL to fight their way to the battle rifle. The battle riffle lets you fight your way to the GE Mini-Gun. The from their you fight your way to the M1A1 Battle Tank. At that point you should be reasonably safe but NEVER let your guard down. The smart warrior has a short range tactical nuke in his arsenal for just such an emergency.
ReplyDeleteThe cops made it to the "nice" meighbnorhood that the house was in eithen 2 minutes. Withen 30 seconds of people from the bad parts od town .
