It's really sad, but when you look at it the people that stayed are either:
1) Looters that stayed to do so
2) People that wanted to protect their property
3) People to poor to leave
I've seen a lot of people (on other boards) insult those who stayed and make it out like they deserved it. (IMG:

BTW, I'd carry a gun concealed there. If you carry it open I'd be afraid of being targeted because I'm a threat and/or for my weapon. I read where one national guardsman was shot in the leg for his rifle. However this has inspired me to purchase a Mossberg 590 once my para sells.
