Police were investigating a late-night dispute at an Anaheim dance club that spilled over to a restaurant early this morning and ended in a fatal shooting, the third at a Denny's restaurant this week in California...OK, Debbie, I'll bite. Define "redoubling."
Denny's spokeswoman Debbie Atkins called the shootings tragic...She said the chain is "redoubling" efforts "to provide a safe and welcoming environment."
The truth is, if you're a Denny's employee, corporate can't protect you. If you're a customer, the store employees can't protect you. And if you're in California*, graded "A-" by the Brady Campaign for its repressive anti-personal defense laws, chances are you won't be able to legally possess the only proven means of defense against lunatics who open fire in public places.
* California has "may issue" CCW, leaving it to the discretion of the local police/sheriff. In major urban areas like Los Angeles or San Francisco, the average citizen has no chance of getting approval reserved for the elite connected. And yeah, I know I took the title of this post from IHOP, not Denny's.

"Rooty tooty fresh and shooty"?!?
Oh, David, you DIDN'T!!
Uh, yeah...
But it was early and I was tired...
Plus, I'm kind of a sick pun afficianado.
I confess. We're afflicted with the same "disease".
Speaking of the rating system recently put out by Brady, I did a little stat research of my own.
The results are pretty much what we would expect them to be, but I personally was amazed at how small a percentage gun-related crimes, heck, crime in general, is/are in proportion to the U.S. population as a whole.
