An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The only reason some Korean groceries in LA weren't burned to the ground during the 1992 riots was because the owners were heavily armed and made no apologies about it.
Firearms are a force multiplier. A cricket bat is all well and good if you are defending yourself against one attacker, or perhaps even 2, but 5? More than 5? Riots are masses of people, these riots seemed to have been organized teams of vandals and looters. You cannot convince me that
And, not for nothing, a shotgun is much more easily used as a less than lethal weapon than a pistol or rifle. Light loaded with bird shot or with rock salt a shotgun will send a intimidating and painful message without actually killing the target, or even injuring a bystander. Not that you shouldn't have some 00 or slugs in your pockets ready to go.
