Convictions don't make people criminals

CHOICES make people criminals

Plenty of criminals out there who have never been caught.

The "law abiding" don't victimize...criminals victimize so NO businesses are not victimized more often by law abiding employees.

Responding to your post questioning guns in cities. You don't ha e to rely on the government to protect you, nor should you. Many of us.choose to protect ourselves. If no Americans had done so, then we would not be the USA, regardless of the threat. Tyrannical empire or.criminals trying to victimize you.

Law abiding employees don't victimize their employers.

Six more shootings overnight in this week of violence.

Arm yourself for self preservation, protect your property and stay aware. Teach your children, family, friends and co-workers to do the same.

As the Boy Scouts say, Be Prepared

If you're not in the drug game you are fairly safe. Indianapolis has become a primary heroin transportation route and a secondary cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and MDMA route. Stem the flow of drugs and the crime rate will drop.

At any rate, drugs and gang related activity are responsible for the vast majority of murders in the city. Trapuzzano was an exception, but not the rule when it comes to homicides.

Or the family of the store employee who was shot and killed this week by a shoplifter, or the families of the two pizza delivery drivers shot and killed while simply trying to make a living.

Why not include the man who shot his ex-wife? How about the two women who hitched a ride and was raped? My point is drugs are being dumped on the streets and it is leading to an increase in violent crime. More law enforcement is needed but the city is strapped for cash. Indianapolis needs to tax the commuters from the surrounding localities who work in Indianapolis, add to the traffic problem, cause wear and tear on the roads but add very little to the economy.

Or the pizza delivery guy who was shot and killed.

Regardless of the fact that they are exceptions, the point is, protect yourself.

Only an idiot would argue differently.

The police couldn't be there to prevent these crimes and can't be expected to be everywhere.

I choose to arm and protect myself.

The fact that most homicide victims are involved in criminal activity doesn't mean a true innocent can't become a victim. Never mind other crimes such as robbery, rape, assault which one could protect oneself from.

Don't argue with me or anyone else that makes the choice to arm and defend ourselves and our families.
