bubblegum, Be sure to bring something to purify water.

All I know is that I'm hoping that all the snow and unseasonably cold weather around here is Californian repellant.

A tactical nuke. They've already gone nuclear, why not join in on the fun

Well, I guess it's a good thing I have my Dune personal force field.

However, I might be worried in Hippieville about the concept of mutually assured destruction

I'd rather visit Haiti than commiefornia...it's cleaner and safer.

PG&E is giving those finger pointing, climate change conspiring, forest fire blame throwers the finger! Enjoy your zero carbon footprint now, pu55ies!

Oh, and I am sorry OP, if this causes your visit problems.

PG&E did cause the Camp Fire

Apparently you should bring batteries and a generator.

California does not prohibit non-CA residents from bringing ammo into CA, except for certain prohibited types. Can't sell or give it to anyone there except immediate family unless you use an FFL or "licensed ammunition vendor" and then still capped at 500 rounds per month.

They may have caused the spark, but decades of government mismanagement and ecological prohibitions provided the fuel. Of course, the government won't fine itself. Whatever, it is all Trump's fault

Hey folks, I want to thank everyone for the well wishes. I made it back to Oregon late Sunday night and hit the ground running with work yesterday.

The family emergency that brought me to California was a good reminder that the people in your life are the most important and work will always be there for another day.

I'm glad to be back in the great Pacific Northwest...and for those of you wondering: I brought the shotgun.

Hey Folks,

I have a family emergency in CA and will be leaving tonight to head south. I'll be gone through the weekend. If I'm ever more than an hour from home I like to have a long gun in my truck. I have two options that don't break CA law:

M1 Garand in 308
Pump Shotgun in 20 Gauge

I'm leaning towards the shotgun (simply because it's already in the truck). But really do love the Garand.

Of those two options what would you take?

If you're going to California and the SHTF while there, you're going to need a lot more than a garand and shotgun to make good your escape. Probably best to take some unicorn dust to sprinkle on your car for camoflage and some extra ID's so you can replenish your ammo supply as you travel north out of state. Steer clear of Frisco; I hear they have a "conservative gun owners" detector at every intersection. And they arrest NRA terrorist so you better remove all those stickers from your vehicle.
