Snoop Dogg: Have gun, will travel

Snoop Dogg claims he had to turn to guns and drugs to get rich.
The rapper-turned-actor, who was arrested last month after an unlicensed firearm and a quantity of cannabis were found in his car, insists guns and drugs are just part of his life.
He told Britain's Live magazine: "I had no money. Where I lived if you wanted to get money, you got into drugs. You got into guns. You don't even think about it. That's just your life. By the time I was 20 I was in and out of jail. I thought it was a blessing if I got to 21.
"I was always rapping, though. Always had. But it was just a part of all the other stuff."
The 35-year-old father of three says he has no problem about his children getting involved with firearms and illegal substances too.
He added: "I have no worries about my kids. They have my money if they want it but I want them to face their own world.
"If drugs and guns are a part of that world, I know they can handle it. They get that from me. Every month or so I take them down to the hood, where I came from. They see what it's like."
