Reply #19: I never thought of firearms as a defense against tsunamis, but [View All]

we don't get many tsunamis here in the Carolina Piedmont

There's a tornado or a hurricane every now and then, though. When Fran tore everybody up fifteen or so years ago, there were lots of stories about neighbors checking in on neighbors; I suppose some of them could have been looking for an opportunity to steal nice TVs, but mostly it seemed to be "Sorry the tree fell on your car. Are you OK? Can I give you a ride to the grocery?" I guess the next time I hear reports of a big whirlwind, I should head down to my local gunshop and see if I can frighten the spinner off by brandishing a loaded revolver
