Some Practical Advice

As I watch the rioting unfold around the world and recall my own experiences of Los Angeles '92, a few thoughts come to mind. Many people will complain about the "socialist masses coming for their stuff" and think that as gun totin' self preservationists they will take out the M4 and retreat to the sandbagged breakfast nook to hold off the mobs.

Some practical advice. Make your home uninviting in the sense that people don't notice it, also most mobs don't rampage through the suburbs. You will most likely find yourself in the midst of the mayhem by accident. When a crowd gathers and they have masks and are scooping up bricks leave before the mayhem starts. If you are carrying and feel that things are going badly don't think you can "enlist" on the spot and help the authorities. They will shoot you first before you can explain that you are on their side. If you have to take out the gun for protection then take it out only when you are sure that you will have to shoot. If you have to shoot then fire and immediately move away towards an exit from the situation. Most people will scatter when shooting starts, use the confusion to your advantage and leave the area.
