I don't usually start threads, but I wanted to wish my law-abiding citizens here in California and throughout the nation to stay safe and be prepared during this crazy time.

Where I live in SoCal is a very residential settings, so not a prime target for looters, and peaceful protesting for that matter.  That being said, you never know, so I've taken some precautionary steps.

Take care, and we'll ride this out together safely.

Head on a swivel, eyes open,  don't get complacent.  I'm out in the burbs, 25 miles east of Oakland, nothing could ever happen here, right?  Last night the mob got to within 15 miles of home, looting and burning.  Saw reports here in GD that they are hitting homes.  Lots of local chatter that it's coming.  We'll see.   I am worried about my son, his work takes him all over the east bay.  He knows what's up and has a plan.  But I still worry.  It doesn't take much to block a freeway.  

I know it ain't gonna' happen.  But...

Nothing I saw looked remotely reliable about them hitting homes.  Won't say it didn't but the thread I saw didn't leap out as very solid.  We had a demonstration, so to speak, here in Chino Hills, near the civic center and shopping area but apparently all they did was make noise.

What time?
I got in around 4:30 PM from fishing, and seen a few cruisers off 71.

Alameda county has a county wide curfew in place starting tonight at 2000 hrs through 0500 hrs.  Just got a call on my phone.

I’ll be in San Fran and Oakland tomorrow.  Should be fun.

I am in AZ but listen to Levin on KSFO.

Sounds like 101 is shut down on 101 at University between EPA and Palo Alto. Both directions.

If they march into downtown PA...

Maybe I should join Antifa just to get their protest plans, dates, times, locations and other intel.

Peyton and Grand, I guess.  Maybe mid afternoon?  Wife mentioned it but don't recall details.  Maybe 200-250 sign wavers?

If it comes down to discharging, or just exhibiting a weapon in defense of home and loved ones, ALL your devices better be California compliant and legal within the state laws.

Just saying...

Also, brandishing is a crime in itself.  If your firearms come out, it has to be in response to what you perceive to be a deadly/dangerous threat.  If they come out, it should only be in response to a threat in which their use would be justified.

Anything other than that is bad for YOU and bad for firearms owners, everywhere.

Seems there is a protest close to my alternate dog walking route.  OK. I better avoid that.  The first thing they probably did was lock up the public toilets.  The dog can pee where ever he wants, they don't appreciate it when I do.

After the last 8 days of rioting, I am reminded of the events forming the back drop for the movie "Dr. Zhivago".
