Your 'facts' about guns protecting lives is pure bull shit!
When I was robed it was by a dupe sent by two other thugs.
One guy was sent in and the other two waited.
Even the dupe had the draw on me if I had a gun.
The other two showed up after.
Police and justice gave the dupe 12 years.
The other two are still out there.
A few years before my event, another co-worker shot his attacker.
That lead to the company banning all employees from packing.
We talked about things of course, he was a cop before he changed jobs.
The company wanted to throw him to the wolves, he had to go to the media and the 5 O'clock news.
He firmly believes he would have lost his job.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make
you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ---Ralph
