I watched the riots in L.A. years ago after the Rodney King verdict. My daughter was a baby and I was utterly horrified. It changed me, deep, deep down inside. I was wholly impressed with the Korean store owners who were manning the roofs of their stores and shooting anyone who stepped in the parking lot.<br /><br />I decided then and there I would get a gun and learn to use it. I didn't fear the government as much then as I do now (live and learn) but I fear the breakdown of our society in the wake of a disaster. So I armed myself. I started hoarding ammo, but I stopped after I had a goodly amount. <br /><br />I bought my house specifically because of it's location and windows on the second floor, to have the ability to protect it from every angle. That's batshit crazy, right? Well, after you have a teenage daughter, and you witness riots close to home, let me know how crazy it sounds. <br /><br />And yes, now I fear the police state. I think about those things often while riding. <br /><br />Now that I'm traveling I can't carry my gun across the country. I have it stored, but I plan to learn the gun laws and take it with me the next time we leave California. I've reached a point where I don't want to ever be unarmed. If that means avoiding certain states due to gun laws, then that's what I'll do.<br /><br />Smooches, <br />SashSash Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030587181417666338noreply@blogger.com
