I don't....that is why I carry a weapon and several extra magazines. The difference is the populace is armed here. Can the police seize weapons in a situation like that--only if they can spot them!

Re: Riots in London
In light of the lack of police assistance in this situtaion. I think I will set aside a bit of cash next pay period to buy some additional bullets. Not that I think that it is coming here soon, but if it does I wish to be prepared.

Re: Riots in London
This is what happens when you have an entitlement society combined with removing your citizens ability to defend themselves. Things get nasty and fast.
