We were trapped without weapons during the Rodney King riots of 1992, which I write about here. I vowed at the time I would never again be defenseless, never again trust the authorities to protect us against the pitiless barbarians. Now, my palette includes a powerful .357 Ruger. Thanks to all who have written and called asking if we are okay. We are fine.

I thought about you during the current riots. I received reading about your experience during the ’92 riots, and knew you’d be prepared this time. A friend who lives in LA went to check out Korea Town and said that the shop keepers were prepared this time.
My thoughts have been with you and Karen, Robert. I only hesitated to write because I didn’t want to add to your worries and frustrations at this time. Thank heavens you’re all right.
I hope you, all your family and friends will be safe and well. That is, by the way, a nice Vaquero, but even in California there are better choices for home defense. I suggest a 4” .357 GP100, several speedloaders, a Marlin 1894 carbine in .357, and a Mossberg 590A1 w/Flite Control 00 buck. Not incredibly expensive and I believe still CA legal.

Thanks so much for your concern. We are fine, but several synagogues in our neighborhood have been defaced.

The Ruger is a v. nice weapon. I have one too, although I don’t get out on the range as often as I should.

Glad you’re okay. Starting to understand why you became a gun owner, and strongly considering joining the club.
Kishke:
The government obviously does not have the will to provide security to law-abiding citizens. Our, ahem, leaders, are dim-wit lefties.
I’m guessing this took place somewhere near you?

Yes, a few minutes away.
Robert, thank you for the update.
Barry:
You’re welcome. Stay safe and healthy.
