Pumps for Punks
Not real sure about the context of this pic I Googled (from somewhere here), but the time has come for New Orleans and other areas overwhelmed by looters.
This New Orleans cop seems to be taking that consideration under advisement. A 12-gauge seems to be about the only law in the Big Easy right now.
I wonder if Remington offers a "Looter Special."
I saw on MSNBC last night, they had a news crew in a Wal-Mart and taped police officers stealing shoes from the store. When confronted, they go "I am doing my job, looking for looters". There were looters everywhere and the cops had a shopping cart full of shoes.

Posted by: Tammy at August 31, 2005 08:59 AMA Remington "Looters Special"...I think it's called a Norinco 98. It'll do in a pinch, for $150.

Posted by: Josh at August 31, 2005 03:02 PMAs an owner of other Norinco products, I'll take the real Remington 870, or a Mossberg 500, "for a few dollars more."
I actually intend to blog about a similar topic tonight, so hang onto that thought...
Posted by: Confederate Yankee at August 31, 2005 03:53 PMAs an owner of Remington 870's and Mossberg 500's, I'd tend to agree, and add the Benelli to the list. I'll wait for that other topic, too.

Help where you can, folks.
