They will expect FEMA to pay for their motel stay after forcing them to evacuate to higher ground.
and remember that with hurricane season coming don't buy that new generator until a hurricane is heading our way and keep that receipt in a safe place....

We have heard great interpretation of La. law.
That should let a lot of folks sleep a little easier when it comes to protecting their families. At least cause some to think out the scenarios that would be acceptable and those that would not be. Maybe that knowledge will take a little heat out of ...

The premise of "stand your ground" and "meeting force with force" will have to be self evident.
Hopefully everyone involved will act honestly and not try not distort the facts. (am I paranoid?)
"the court shall award" comes out of whose pocket?
What about any legal fees up front even if it...

I know we are only debating this while we wait for more news on the flood :lol:

I am not a lawyer. I am not a LEO. I am familiar with firearms and have had formal training in the past. As much as I would like to believe that the DA, law enforcement, Judge and jury would function as advertised, I would not be comfortable putting my finances and freedom on the line for possess...

Criminal charges or civil suit, or legal fees aside, coming home and finding someone running down the drive with my 50 inch is not worth the family seeing me shoot someone. Why would I put them through that? I'm getting old. Maybe my testosterone level isn't what it used to be.

Judge,
Home invasion drills, fire drills, perimeter watches ( :lol: ).
By the way, these practice drills have paid off more than once.
If you think you need a home protection weapon then you need a plan. One that can be put into motion without someone saying "but I'll loss the points I mad...

You shoot to eliminate the immediate threat then stop shooting. Three shots in the chest and three in the back while the perp is running away will come down to the coroner's determination of which killed the perp. Unless the coroner is your uncle, you could be in deep shiet.
If you keep firearm...

I think you would have a problem getting flood insurance after the 3rd occurrence. They would probably require you to put your trailer up on pilings.
Still wouldn't be cheap I bet.

If the Morganza was not opened would the levees not has an equal chance of failing on the west side of the MR? What areas of the basin would flood if the river came in from that direction?
Would the flow down the AR and the flow from a MR west levee failure flood the entire area?
Are there ...

[quote]The water has moved just south of the railroad truss that runs through the Morganza spillway as of mid morning. That puts it probably 5 miles north of US 190.[/quote]
This gage seems to suggest that about 2 feet of Morgaza water has made it to Hwy 190.

If you can't find really good info that the area will NOT flood I would think about getting them out. Take them on a "drive" to see what's going on. Maybe that will convince them to visit for a few days.
Search for positive or negative news but don't wait forever to decide. ...
