The criminal that can hurt you on the streets near your home.. What is your advice to people about preventing armed criminals near us? I was robbed at gunpoint in Hermosa beach the night before the shooting in El Segundo theather. I was walking at a reasonable hour when a lot of people were out and around. I personally think that we really need to have armed officers not just driving around but walking around the area just to keep them out!Why does this remind me of John Prine's classic song, "Dear Abby"? Probably just the tone of utter helplessness, the abdication of responsibility and personal choice...
Feel free to advise police state market demand facilitator "Blessed Assurance" if you think it'll make a blessed bit of difference.
Don't forget that Hermosa Beach is in California, one of the most anti-gun states around. Even though we have a discretionary permit system, it is effectively a "No CCW for you" state.
ReplyDeleteI know. Carry anyway. Some do, I imagine. But the state's ability (and desire) to ruin a gun owner's life has to be weighed in the balance.
I lived in Redondo, right next door, and will never forget of the choices and risks I was forced to make and take.
ReplyDeleteO, yeah. I forgot you lived right next door, David.
ReplyDeleteI made a comment, hope you guys get to enjoy it. It sure allowed me to express some of my feelings on the subject.
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing it along so I had the access.

ReplyDelete"You don't expect someone else to be responsible for your personal hygiene do you?" is absolutely brilliant!

ReplyDeleteI try. Never made the debate team though.
