I have to work late that night and can't have a gun at work, even if left in the car. I also work about 65 miles from home. Where I work should be safe in a rual area, but I pass thru or close to some areas that I'm not sure about and close to one that has had trouble in the past. Came close to getting caught in a multiday riot there a few years ago when I had to take a different exit then normal due to an accident. The riot had broken out that night and I didn't know about it. The other problem is I live very close to the area hospital. More than once in the past trouble that started on the streets in other communities, then moved to the emergency room as the various sides show up for treatment or to check on others in their clan, and then out into the local neighborhood. Can't take the day off work, but do plan on being very alert. I do have a friend that will being monioring his scanner and will call me if he hears of any troubled areas, so I can avoid them. Not the best plan, but it is what I have to work with. Any idaea to improve on it?
I have emailed my kids at college, my brother, my sister and her daughters and told them hat could transpire. They basically think I'm a paranoid, gun hugging wacko. They are in denial about all the crap out there.
