I carry a very small, very light 8 shot 22 caliber revolver everywhere that's legal. It's all I really need in a CCW and with it being small and light, odds are good I'll always find it easy to carry.  I'm not Mr. Tactical.  I'm Mr. boring property law.  However I live in a state that has venemous snakes, alligators, wild hogs, pumas, coyotes, bobcats, feral dogs, etc....  Need to have the option to be ready for that kind of thing.  Gave up high capacity 9mm and 45s a long time ago.

I feel for you man.  I've been going to disaster zones since the Joplin tornado and will never forget buying toys for kids who lost their mom.  I wasn't able to respond to this earlier because I've been running to the Tampa area every day to help out there.  Hurts seeing this in your part of the country.  My grandparents used to live in Sylva.  We were going to buy a cabin in that area as an escape plan for hurricanes and to relive some childhood memories.  Not sure what the plan is now.  It especially sucks with what I know about flood insurance.  We're praying for you all.

 The last Asheville catastrophic flooding was within 5 years of the last Tampa hurricane.  You're also comparing the mountainous region of North Carolina with an oceanfront region of Florida rather than something a little more intellectually honest such as the saltwater marsh and lowland regions of North Carolina on the Atlantic ocean.  It's not a very good comparison.  So, you're not really doing a good job making a solid argument here.

 I'll PM you.

 If you want an aggressive public adjuster, I know the guy.  If you have multiple rentals, you may need to seek recovery in the aggregate and then decide your priority of restoration.

This is a bad day, but statistically, you're good for another 100 years, no matter what "expert" pipes up with his uneducated opinion.

No and you need to put this on hold and research the condo nuke that's about to hit Florida in the form of new legislation that no longer allows condo boards to defer necessary repairs.  Condos are starting to get condemned, which means people are having to vacate units.

I'm telling you right now, I'm a JD (not a practicing attorney) in Florida whose business is being an insurance expert for carriers, working with engineers.  I was actually on a team dispatched to investigate the Surfside Condo collapse until the clean up process basically rendered our investigation moot.  Condos were built by a lot of cheap scumbags who are long gone and people are going to be left holding the bag on these.

This guy is pretty good at explaining it:  

Yak Motley Florida Condos

;t=4s

I wouldn't touch Florida until they figure out what's going to happen with this Condo assessment nuke the legislature just dropped down here.  

Nope.  I margarita'd after noon.  LOL  Just kidding.  A buddy tested epoxy and that was the best.  We do that down here too.

 First rule about Space Coast is we don't talk about Space Coast.  :)  We'll have to talk sometime Victor.  Great name btw - I named my son Victor.  I'm looking at some of these 1 acre+ deals in Coco Groves where the building moratorium is in place.  Trying to get another local's insight into what's up with that.
