Lining out the door for guns and ammo, fact is with all of California's gun control they won't be taking it home anytime soon.

Don't worry when criminals desperate for food and toilet paper ransack your home just dial 911 the cops will be there in 20 or 30 minutes...maybe.

Now with that said, while I am a avid pro gun person who disagrees with almost all gun control laws, I doubt things will get that bad that someone needs to defend themselves from corona virus panic stricken people.

However people have a right to defend themselves, and if they want to panic buy guns and ammo so be it, no sympathy from me though for those who support gun control believing in the thin veneer of "civilized society" you know those that say "I don't live in fear and never needed one so" only to have a "oh ...." moment epiphany later on.

Yes, there are, however, when you have to use it, you may end up with a jury who is filled with people who think you can just "shoot them in the leg", or you "should have hidden in your bathroom and waited for the police".

I sold my gun when I got to CA because after reading up on their laws, I realized that if I did ever have to use it in self defense, I could still end up in prison if I had a jury of morons judging me. Since I'm severely claustrophobic, I'd rather be dead.

Don't worry they are slowly trying to fix that, latest attack on gun owners, is proposing complete ban on lead ammo even at ranges. which would all but close gun ranges and make ammo next to impossible to get or afford.

Yup. Well armed goons at that. And just like Doomberg, they think they're better than everyone else so they're "entitled" to have the weapons they want to take from everyone else.
