I am packing up the family and heading for Tomball on Saturday to spend the holiday weekend with friends. This trip has been planned for a long time and niether carjacking refugees nor $3+ gasoline is going to stop me.
I will however be "well prepared" for potential adversity. 8)

They are apparently mad that only people coming in on busses from New Orleans are being allowed into the Astrodome. This has the potential to get ugly!

I heard the same about Reunion Arena in Dallas. I have to wonder if this is an urban legend in the making.

Well I did see on the news that a truck carrying aid and hospital supplies was held up at gun point.

My answer:

Hey gigag04, I *LIKE* your answer to that !!!

When in doubt, empty the mag.

Interesting article:

"Trouble headed our way?

Meanwhile, fed by alarming images of anarchy from New Orleans and reports of fights breaking out as buses loaded at the Superdome, some Houstonians worried about what kind of trouble was headed our way.

Some nurses at the Texas Medical Center, for example, wondered aloud Wednesday if the refugees would be allowed out of the Astrodome to board the light rail and head their way. They were not alone in their worries.

The answer is yes, the refugees will be allowed to come and go.

But fears that the refugees will become an uncivil mob at the Astrodome are overblown. The concerns were, inevitably, tinged with race and class perceptions. The pictures we see from the Superdome are of people who are mostly poor and black.

Yet imagine that the entire population of The Woodlands, mostly white and prosperous, were confined for five days to an Astrodome that had no air conditioning, few working toilets, no showers, dwindling supplies of food and water, inadequate medical assistance and a likelihood that things would only get worse.

Anyone who thinks they would politely, without anger, queue up for an inadequate number of delayed buses has never driven I-45 during rush hour.

Houston knows the difference between those who steal buses and those who steal televisions, shoot at rescue workers, or who stick up hospital pharmacists for drugs.

We greet these refugees not with zero tolerance, but with a generous welcome. And with an Astrodome that, while not ideal, will be air-conditioned, well-supplied and well-supported.

We can expect that the vast majority will respond the way we ourselves can only hope we would if we were in their soggy shoes."

I think the author has some valid points, but there were/are some hard core criminals in New Orleans and some of them are headed our way.

Due to the influx I got myself a bonus. I got a double mag holder, and a gun belt (this was an excellent upgrade) and all of it matches my galco silhoutte. Belt and Mag holder are galco as well and very high quality.

I have been traveling to Houston alot and all the crazies provided a good excuse to get some nice accessories that may save my life.

ALSO - that entry tactical I pictured is the one I'm picking up next week :-D

stay safe everyone
