Only when bugging out in my blast protected Humvee.
Bullets don't always start flying in the average disaster around here grin


It's rare that a disaster will result widespread firefights. Looting, yes, but not shooting. The last disaster I remeber invoving widespread firefights was the '92 LA riots. Most of the lead exchanged was in K-town where the Korean-American community had bunkered down and was under siege by the looters.
