I'm not sure. Worst case scenario, Dem's win the whitehouse and pass a law banning guns. I don't think we'll see that in our life time, but who knows.
Maybe a New York style terrorist attack.
Peak oil.
Riots.
Civil uprising.
I'm not exactly sure. I didn't think it could ever happen, but it did in N.O. I couldn't even have imagined armed checkpoints in a U.S. city a few years go.
foreveryoung, I agree with you, I would most likely not be there after a week of advanced notice, but then again, I've ridden out Hurricanes before in Houston, so I can't say that I absolutely would evacuate.
Hopefully this situation will never occur on American soil again, but if it does, there is no guarantee that you would have 1-2 weeks advanced notice, either.
I'm not saying I agree with those that stayed, but abandoning everything I own would be a hard decision to make. That being said, part of deciding where I would live when I got out of the Navy was based on considerations like that. I chose Dallas instead of Galveston or Houston for precisely that reason. I think living below sea level or on a fault line or beneath an active volcano are all bad juju.
