I was directed to this on another forum. It is an excellent (and short) read on the '92 LA riots.

Jew Without a Gun

Thx for posting.

Awesome story. I think a lot of people need reminded that self defense situations are not always 1 on 1, or 1 on 2. Thanks for posting.

Great read, thank you!

Good read, hits on many points I try to explain to my gun scared wife.

That was absolutely fascinating. Wow!

He followed the wisest course of action even if he had been armed. It would be tough to barricade a whole theater with just one pistol even if he had one. Especially if that theater was on fire!

Agreed. A pistol is a PERSONAL defense weapon, not protection from a siege. Like he said in the article many Korean shop owners were successful in defending their property with the use of *gasp* assault weapons.

I remember watching the news video and seeing store owners standing on rooftops with scoped bolt guns and ARs. Very sobering to see a major American city in flames.

OP - Thank you for that link. Reminds me of several reasons that I stand by my convictions and rights.

I have forwarded to several "on the fence" friends that I just never could find the right words for in conversation about "why" and "need"...

Repped.
