Michael Lewis, scion of local big wig family and author if Liar's Poker and other fine books, tells it like it is post-Gustav. thelede.blogs.nytimes.com Just now this would be a terrifying place to be a looter — and the troops and police are really only the first line of defense. Before Katrina the only thing stopping the not insignificant sub-population of well-to-do New Orleans men who enjoy the idea of sitting behind their front door with an AK-47 propped on their laps, waiting to shoot the first looter who walks through the door, was the fear of spending the night without air conditioning. After Katrina these people all went out and bought state-of-the art-power generators and so are holed up in their houses, longing for an excuse to fire a rapid burst from their automatic weapons. Except for the AK 47 and the fact that 'well-to-do' is a relative thing, I am one of the guys he talks about. I prefer a Smith and Wesson caliber .40 semi-automatic. gunblast.com
