charging handle, i am not saying the logistics are not tough, but i can carry 10 days of food, shelter, clothing, water ( and the means to purifiy more )when hiking. if i went down to NO, i would not bring shelter in my pack, so i could carry about 3 weeks of food and other gear.
now to the rest of you, i might have limited "ground" time, and i most certianly have limited time here, but i am willing to try, not just send a check. its not to run down and go gun ho, it is to help stop the good people left from getting hurt, as well as to help out in general. i also have family currently missing from NO, they got out but they did not go far enough, including an 80 YO great aunt. i also have very good friends in MS that dont have a house any more, and there are people stealing what is left of their house. you all act like you would be ready to defend your family and i want to do that as well. how many here can even say they would go if asked, and not to just shoot looters ( which is nuts, and i have read a lot of posts where people want to do that )
