Just found out that a coworker has gone with his church to North Florida where the hurricane just went through with trailers full of supplies. Apparently the first group that went one of the trailers was broken into and everything stolen over night now his church has asked for anyone with firearms to go and protect the supplies.

He just got his first AR a few months ago has very little trigger time on it. Another co worker tried to talk him out of taking it just for the legal aspect but he insisted

Seems like a bad Idea to me

"roof Korean" ..took me a second lol.

I'd go armed anyway but not looking for trouble.  Is he taking it "just in case" or is he going hunting for trouble

No open carry of firearms in Florida, even in emergencies (an exception for hunting/fishing only) so your friend will in all likelihood get his shit pushed it if he tries 'standing guard' with a rifle. Concealed (w/permit) is about the only way to go. Are the trailers on private property ?

I agree with this.  Protecting personal property after a storm and deading a looter is one thing.  Traveling to a disaster area armed is asking to get loved tenderly

Plus the optics when the shooting victim actually turns out to be some desperate evacuee.

Now to protect Church members that’s a different story.

This place cracks me up. Everybody has a stash of guns and ammo, plate carriers, "kits", bug out gear, optics, night vision and practices "drills". But let's stand guard in front of our trailer with $100,000.00 worth of supplies in it "sounds like a bad idea".

I don't see how it's a bad idea when he lives in FL and can STAND HIS GROUND.  Even if it got to a jury, which it likely would not, I think a jury would be sympathetic to a guy trying to defend supplies meant for hurricane victims.

I don't see a problem with this.

Protecting your supplies in a SHTF situation is a perfect example of what guns are good for. Nobody is stealing from the crazy guy on the roof with an AR15.

Sounds like they need a better/ safer form of security.  Perhaps not stoping at Sleezy Pete's for a rest.

Holy shit, this exactly.

I'm not advocating bands of "militia" running around screwing with looters, but arming yourself to protect property? That's kinda the whole point of owning firearms for protection. There are ways to do it that are smarter than others, but if you're not going to use your guns to defend yourself and protect property, then it's pretty much time to give them to someone who will. And if someone goes to an area whose infrastructure is destroyed and the traditional police response is delayed or even non-existent, and they do so without means to protect themselves or their possessions, they're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Wouldn't be any issue in Texas. The open carrying of long arms is perfectly legal and using lethal force to protect property is also legal. I don't know about the laws of Florida though.

If you own one of those weapons of war, the only way you should have it is stored in the back of a safe and chained down.

Only military and LEOs should have them out in public.

Doesn't sound like a really good idea for him, but I wouldn't be traveling to any disaster zone unless I am armed, although I would go the discreet, handgun licensed and under my shirt route.

I'm not going to shoot someone over a box of saltines or a bottle of gatorade, but I will defend my life against someone who may come out of the ruins and try to take it.........

I saw them for myself growing up as a kid and living through the Rodney King riots where the police stopped showing up and people turned into savages when given the opportunity. It didn't really hit me until I was an adult at how valuable the 2A is to an individual and our society.

They should really look for members of the parish who have law enforcement experience. I wouldn't take a rifle either, if it were me I would take a pistol that I could keep in a holster concealed.

It sounds like the church is asking for problems. They should coordinate with local law enforcement in Florida if there are security issues. The last thing a church needs is for a news story saying how a church member shot someone getting supplies that they brought to give out to people for free.
