There are none. This 17 year old shot his 16 year old gf 22 times, was charged with murder and is out on bond.

Imagine the consequences if you didn't have it to flash at them?

I'm glad you had it... and had the sense to let them know.

The story was that a guy pulled his gun when being chased by teenagers in road rage. He didn't call it in, they did- he was jammed up for five years.

The late actor/writer Spaulding Gray (who killed himself at 53) said there's a dark cloud that circles the globe and just lands places- Lebanon, Rwanda, you name it- and then goes elsewhere. As much as I don't believe in god or devil or such, I agree with the above poster.

Not everywhere. In states that have reasonable concealed carry laws, it only happens in the most rundown ghetto parts of town where the police are afraid to go into. Otherwise, the law abiding citizens are able to help police their own communities and keep them safe.

NY, Chicago, Baltimore, etc. do not fall into that list.

I honestly believe I would have been killed in the first incident 2+ years ago.

Lightness and freedom? Florida has one of the highest gun violence rates in the US. They are #3. Florida also has one of the lowest gun ownership rates. They are #39.
