Unarmed equals helpless !
Ok, now this is a prime example of why people should be prepared to defend themselselves.
This happened in the great city of Detroit, just yesterday. Notice that the bystanders, well, just
stood by and watched as the helpless victim was beaten and stabbed be a useless
POS thug. This is unbelievable the ruthlessness of outlaws who are desperate for money:

Detroit was a great city in the late 40's and 50's when i was a young mans. sure has gone downhill since then. My Dad's folks used to live in a big brick house on E Grand boulevard.
Had I bee there one of us would most likely left in a body bag and I would sure as Hell make a real effort that it was not me. Never leave the house unarmed.

You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
It was rather sad the lack of help he was getting, but I guess they were afraid to help. I believe you in the quote, besides, never mess with an old man!bearandoldman wrote: Had I bee there one of us would most likely left in a body bag and I would sure as Hell make a real effort that it was not me.

They said 60-90 days, it's been just over 60 so far.
One of these days I'll optimistically walk out to the mailbox and there it will be.
The main reason that I'm getting a CC permit is that most of the gun people here do. The crime rate here is way low, it's a big item on the newspapers police report if a bicycle gets stolen, or there is a domestic dispute that calls for an arrest.
I've yet to see a person or a situation here that has managed to make me feel uncomfortable, except maybe the deer and sheep at night. Sometimes they come down out of the mountains at night, looking for green stuff in town.
You never know, though, and it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

I was raised in the city of Irving, a suburb located in-between Dallas and Ft. Worth.greener wrote:Back in the 90's a buddy moved to Texas from Michigan. Before he left, on of the things about the move he really talked about was concealed carry and he talked quite a lot about the 9mm he would be "required" to have when he moved there. I believe Dallas/Fort Worth met all his expectations.
It was a nice place when I was a kid, but I wouldn't go there now, even to visit. - Too busy for me.
I use to visit D/FW occasionally for the great shopping, but the internet has knocked the gloss off of that. Now, I just see it as a traffic nightmare.
