I don't understand. I understand why they don't want the gang-bangers and criminals from coming in with guns. I don't understand why someone who has been vetted almost as well as an LEO cannot.

If there are cops at the doors searching and seizing without warrant just because I want to enter I wouldn't go there anyway.

If a city put up a public housing project and demanded the residents submit to searches every time they came home and wanted to enter the building, how do you see that going over?

If a city said since you live in government housing you are subject to LEO searches of the dwelling at any time for any reason, how would that fly?

If the federal government said that anyone who received a government check, either as a gainfully employed worker, a disabled vet, or welfare recipient, had to allow unannounced searches of their person and all property, would that be understandable?

I hope you answered negatively to all of the above. If you did, how can it be legal to search my stuff just because I want to enter a building and get a free ride out of danger? Why do I have to give up my rights more and more every time I have anything to do with the government?

I can understand why... However I dont think I would want to be in that situation.

My Brother inlaw lives in The Houston area and I know he wont go to one.

It is great for an emergency but gees. Like New Orleans. You can see this thing coming.

I have freinds in New Orleans. Both times Katrina and this last one they flew up here, at least a week earlier

If you fail to Plan..... You plan to fail. Pretty simple I think

You can differentiate by the CHL id card people are required to carry. And they can have their equality by going out and getting their own CHL.

Having been trained by the red cross through there temporary shelter and long term shelter courses I can give you a bit of the reason why.

You will need to sleep. What will you do with your firearm while you sleep. Personally I don't believe that in a situation where there are that many people around me that I can have complete control of my stuff 24/7. Since at many of these shelters there happen to be items stolen from people or lost by people the shelters do not want ANYTHING that is considered a weapon in the shelter. Anyone found with one is OUT. Those are the rules follow them or find somewhere other than a disaster shelter.

I'd be driving further north to find another place that allows me to defend myself and my family...certainly can't say that there wasn't sufficient warning.

Agree with both of these. A refugee shelter is no place for a gun or me if I can possibly help it.

Ike is going to be BAD. Watch out for worse than Katrina effects.

Because the governing few want it that way ... and because standing up against it can take everything you've got. Pretty much, for many folks, that's about it.

It's wrong in the extreme. Criminal, if you ask me. In each of the hypotheticals you outlined, earlier. But then, I don't see eye to eye with a lot of what my own governing few do.

So did they search you or any of the other workers, or just the refugees?
