Let's say that you live in Lafayette, Lake Charles, or Baton Rouge, and that thousands of New Orleans refugees have come into your town. While the majority of them are decent citizens, some are without a doubt the same lowlifes they were before they evacuated. My question is does this change your routine; is there a genuine cause for concern? It looks like there are thousands of unemployed, short tempered refugees with not much left to lose.
I believe there is cause for concern. Those familiar with the seedier side of New Orleans would probably agree. Yeah, they're refugees. Yeah, they just lived through a horrendous natural disaster. However, I doubt those who lacked honor and morality before the storm would change. They'd more likely revert to their old ways in a new city.
I don't have a concealed weapons permit, so I'll have to be armed legal-style (armed only in my car and at home). Am I being too paranoid or are there grounds for concern?
Maybe it's just an excuse for me to get a HD shotgun.
