Not to steal this thread, but what is the correct reaction to a crowd blocking the interstate destroying your car and beating up the occupants?
I am too old to take a whipping and I certainly won't allow someone to touch my wife! I know what I would do how about you other guys?

I'm on a couple other (none gun) forums and there are a few people that live around the looting/riot/wild zone and they are saying we are not even getting told/shown 1/2 of whats going on down there!

Fair & balanced media my Gluteus Maximus.

My heavy duty 4x4 truck would preform a maneuver us Northern folks will know from how you rock out of snow by going forward and backward till you get free! In my Vette I hope I never have to make that choice as that vehicle has only a couple inches of ground clearance, that would plug up fast!

Chief Parker said it best,...... " when the lootin' starts, the shootin' starts ". We all know that rhetoric from the 60's will not fly today but this is NO protest. This is lawlessness. I saw an innocent chased down and beaten by lawless THUGS, people trapped, businesses looted and burned. Enforcement is what is needed. No hands off. No be nice. Enforce the law and Protect and Serve as your supposed to. Politics and Police work do not mix. Protect yourselves and your families from this horde of criminals.

I work in charlotte as a leo. this week the mossberg 500 8 shot is in my trunk and my model 64 with golden sabers is by my seat and my duty gun is with me also. and that is my carry options for folks who want to try to stop me from getting home. I agree they need to take the police tactics back to the 1960s and bust heads and drag them in jail. but now with the crappy leaderless country we live in we cant stop crooks. Instead we make cops the enemy.

I admire you for being in LE... Now...lets call out the Guard, and in cooperation with you guys surround these people so they have no avenue of retreat and arrest every one of them who is causing civil unrest and property damage. Yes, take the gloves off....We have to or it's gonna get worse all across the country........

This is along the lines of my initial post. My feelings are that I will be increasing the capacity of my carry arms. I don't want to seek out a situation but I want to ensure that I can get home to my family and protect my property should this situation move south.

Lethal force is justified to defend your family or yourself.

I've never understood why someone driving a 3,000 pound car would feel the need to stop for a 180 pound thug, trying to block their way.

Years ago, I introduced two thugs to Mr. right front fender. The other thugs decided that they had no desire to meet Mr. fender or any of his friends.

Why are they still being called protestors? They valid ones with something to say are probably at home. Bring in the water canons and lots of dogs!

AND the scoop device used in the riot scene in the movie Soylent Green.

I was thinking about that last night when I heard it on the news.
What can you do? You're essentially trapped in the urban version of a boxed canyon with high fences on the sides, murderous mob in front, and a huge traffic jam behind you.
The vehicle I'm not concerned about, so depending on how close the mob was, I'd probably abandon my truck and retreat to the rear(after I gathered any and all weapons from therein)preferably with a rapidly growing group of like minded citizens. There is, presumably, strength in numbers alone and the mob cannot single out individuals that way. Standing your ground just to protect your possessions would be assinine in my opinion, I don't care what you're driving.
It seems unlikely that you would be surrounded and attacked as a group. However, if and only if that were to happen before you could move en masse to a safe haven, would I resort to deadly force. And then only after warning very loudly of my intention. Would I fire a warning shot? I don't know; probably not. What would the mobs reaction be if you took out the closest threat? Who knows, maybe they'll disburse, maybe they will attack. A nightmare scenario to be sure. At that point I would just pray the fight ran out of them before I ran out of ammo.

 

[Cpo1944]

My everyday carry is only a 5 shot. I may have to rethink that.Maybe time to breakout the Beretta which I have never liked, but it does hold 15 rds.

If a gang surrounds my AWD Escape, they will quickly learn how a gas pedal works...no warning toot of the horn. Why is it these "peaceful" protests occur at night? Because that's when predators emerge from the shadows. I feel for the innocents, but until they get the rotten apples out of the orchard, this scenario will be played out again and again.

It's referred to as a mob..lethal defense allowed.
I'll take a 4000 lb vehicle at 50 miles an hour against any of them. I believe after the first 20 or 30 the rest will move out of the way.

Ferguson, Missouri was the poster child for how not to handle these events. The lying media misinformed everyone. The Federal Government and the State Governor were ineffective and incompetent. The hands of the police were tied. A lot of looting and criminal property damage occurred and some of the town burned to the ground. These folks need to be controlled since they obviously have no self control.

I sure would not want to be a cop these days,Your dammed if You do and dammed if You dont. I have to take My hat off to the good ones out there and hope the bad ones just leave.

Sadly, the LEO's know how to handle these situations, they just are not allowed to. Some Chief, mayor, governor does not want to be politically incorrect.

NOTICE TO ALL: Political correctness and effective law enforcement do not mix. Charlotte is not a protest, it's now a riot. Protest enforcement and riot enforcement are two entirely different categories. When property is being destroyed, people are being shot, fires are being set LE has to be unleashed to do their jobs that they can do so well.

If not folks....then ammo sales and weapons sales should increase and the liberals need to keep their traps shut about it. Just my opinion.

When I was a Kid growing up the Police were allowed to handle riots the best way They saw fit,Dog's and Fire Hoses. Nothing says go Home and stop rioting like a 120lb drooling snarling German Shepard. but these days that isnt permitted.

Totally agree with the water cannons...every effective against rioters..but after the cannons then jail..then court...then punishment.

If we don't, it's gonna get worse. If you can destroy part of a city and walk away clean then why would you stop if you are in that mindset. What is your incentive to stop. I'll never understand the thinking the powers that be have....oh wait,
perhaps they are not thinking....but they are thinking...about their next election, not us.......

I think everyone knows this unrest has something to do with November 8, 2016.

Former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman said to drive through them and let them deal with whatever hapopens. I tend to agree as the instigators are mostly from outside areas.
