I like this quote about the LA riots:
At the time, the then-geniuses running the Guard centralized all the Guard’s ammo about four hours away. But the Guardsmen – many of them from the affected neighborhoods – took the kind of initiative that makes American soldiers the best in the world. They brought their own stuff. I never saw so many guns in my life...
Kurt Schlichter, by the way, is one of my favorite writers / columnists. His novels are awesome. I had no idea he was from Pasadena - my home town. And the Turner’s Outdoorsman he mentions, where he bought a gun, is where I bought my Model 29 and a Remington Viper .22, and a ton of .45, .44 mag, .22LR, and .308 Winchester ammo over the years - not to mention the hours upon hours I spent there over the years just hanging out.
