What's the point? There are so many people who have their own firearms turned around and used on them! Firearms only work for hunting or if one is prepared for a confrontation of some sort but no one is ready to be robbed, carjacked, etc and when it suddenly happens, people don't have time to think about using their own firearms since they are panicked and that leaves the door open for the robbers to turn the table on the firearm owners! It may work for some people but 9 out of 10 times, it does not work. Sorry!

Valid point.

I do recall in New Orleans a co-worker who was waiting for someone at the ferry terminal. Three losers started casing him and his car.

Weapon put on lap. Losers quickly slunk off.

I don't know if you are referring to my post but no---one murder. Can't remember how far back the other murder was. It was way before my time here (11 years) and was also a domestic violence issue.

Ok, fine. So let's split hairs and dispute the "30" crime rating on C-D, tell everyone in my town to lock up their doors and barricade themselves inside because there were 2 incidents of domestic violence total in the past----30 years? Or more?
