My sister lives in LA, out towards the border with Pasadena. She lives towards the top of a hill, and her immediate area is nice, but the areas in valley....NOT nice. Both of my parents and I have told them to have a shotgun in the house, just in case. They absolutely refuse to have a gun. I simply cannot fathom it. They both grew up in familys with folks that hunted. Were not asking them to become gun nuts, just have a box of shells and an 870 in attic just in case. I don't think it is far fetched at all to think that in the case of a major earthquake, you could have civil unrest in LA. Clearly the population has show that this is a possibility.
Guys, I was not arguing against having guns, I was just saying that I didn't see a point in have 10,000 rounds and 50 guns.
Oh....and the ammo prices argument? Dunno man, like gold prices, I think that ship sailed long ago. The time to stock pile ammo was 5 years ago. Prices today are insane.
