A lesson from Sunday...
Never expected the scenario of needing an emergency go bag at church to happen. Now that it has happened, one might think
that it won't happen again and that one doesn't need to prep a bag but that would be bad probabilistic thinking and probably unrealistic as well. Still, even if one has a bag, one has to be able to go to it and not be stuck in the basement, unable to cross the street and get to the car in the parking lot. (Though the cops wouldn't be able to stop one from crossing, and the city wouldn't be liable if one were shot by the armed suspect because one took the risk of crossing.) Without access to the go bag, one has to rely on what one has for EDC, but this is lame California...
