One of my FAVORITE scenes

I cannot carry at work but other wise 27 rounds of .45. I usually only carry 14 rounds. I doubt anything will happen around here. I pretty much stay around here and San Marcos.

I'd hate to be trapped in that mess. If I lived there, I be packing the NFA ghetto heater.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Scary shit. I am going to get my long gun back in the truck. I quit carrying it b/c of company policies, but I would truly feel naked with just a glock19 and 3 extra mags in that situation.

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Ive got a custom replacement on mine that is a little bit stronger than those. I feel sorry for anything that makes contact with it.

Lead filled cast iron bumpers = Mad Max truck of doom!

 

[Wiked]

Wow that is bullshit.

For me, I think I'll start carrying some white shoe polish. If a mob erupts and blocks the freeway causing havoc, I'll jump out and write something positive about Trayvon or negative about Zimmerman so I can get through. What can I say, I hate traffic.

Then again, an effective way to avoid an opponent is to make them think you're one of them.

Apparently, Houston is not immune to the hysteria sweeping the nation’s traditional Riot Zones. Last night a bunch of urban thugs, dissatisfied with the Zimmerman jury's decision regarding the justified shooting of a fellow urban thug, decided to shut down a major freeway in Houston!

So if you have a flat on a Houston freeway and pull to the shoulder but can't get the tire changed before a tow truck shows up you get towed, but if you run out on the freeway and shut down the whole road, they leave you alone? Unfortunately that makes sense for Houston.

Have a bug-out kit with weapons of sufficient effectivenes, sufficient ammo and spare batteries for your phones.

Based on the scenario you're suggesting, adding a fire extinguisher to your vehicle might be a good idea.

Commuting through Houston daily, one of the things I do is run Waze on my smartphone. Houston has quite a few Wazers, they have saved my ass a number of times with road debris. I'm pretty sure other users will alert on this type of activity.

Hmm. I haven't noticed a civil unrest icon on there. Perhaps you should suggest that to them. Waze is owned by Google now, and being from Kalifornia, you would think that a civil unrest icon is something they would understand.

Up here in DFW there is a large group of sportbike riders that gather and shut down certain freeways by just stopping in the middle of the road. They begin doing trick riding and stunts. LEOs can't do anything and traffic gets backed up. It has happened a few years in a row now.

I've seen that on the news. If I were up front in my truck I would just slowly push my way through. But with my luck I'd be the second vehicle back stuck behind some prius who wouldn't budge and I'd sit there and boil for the idiots wasting my time.

.

I keep a fire extinguisher in the truck anyways.

But why does his scenario change that. Just curious.

So just add the Prius to the push.

I hope things don't turn inside out but I think I'm going to put a pistol lower back on one of mine. More maneuverable in my Jeep and I don't have to risk an NFA item sitting in "custody" until I'm cleared if something crazy happens.

 

[Younggun]

I'm hoping nothing like this starts happening in the Waco/Temple area. Only time will tell if the rioting will spread or if it will quickly fade a way.

I think a lot of it depends on if certain high ranking gov officials and a reverend continue to stir the pot.

 

[M. Sage]

Now, I don't know crap, but I'd bet you could get people to leave you alone with just one mag in an AR. Of course, one is none and two is one, so bring a reload. You know, screw it - bring three spare mags. Three don't weigh much more than one. Just bring a way to carry all this crap and be able to keep it useful. Mags loose in a duffel bag aren't what I'm talking about...

An AR with 120 rounds... Even if, after you have to drop one or two who attack you, there are still highly-motivated people in that group who want to hurt you, I don't see any advantage to more ammo. That should be enough to handle the situation and then some (leftovers are my favorite!!).

But like I said... I don't know nothin'.

AR-15 with about a bazillion rounds of 75gr TAP or 70gr TSX

Flame thrower would be better. But I guess we'll have to roll with AR15s...

 

[Greg_TX]

Or, maybe this -

 

[Pilgrim]

I'd try to stay in the far left lane of the freeway whenever possible. If that kind of crazy shit happens you can always flip around and roll down the center shoulder until you can either cross over to the other side of the freeway or until you can get far enough back to get to an off-ramp. If you see the bullshit from enough distance away then it would be easier to merge into the center shoulder, slow down and back the hell up...

 

[tenfeathers]

All this means is the rioters win , they inconvenance everybody and make the scared white folks go around. I have answer the my vision was blurred when I hit 3 of them .

If all I had was a glock I would be worried also...lol
