I was going to say I am glad I live in Pierce County, but I think this is going to start happening everywhere.

We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

Interesting article. I couldn't agree more with the delivery guy carrying. One of the comments after the article did make a good point though. If criminals don't know who has a gun, they will make sure they do have one every time they commit a crime. I wonder how many shootouts will occur because of that....<broken link removed>
This is what I mean by communities policing themselves. I hate to see anything come to a life being taken, but how many lives would be taken once criminals realized that good poople aren't f ing around anymore, enough is enough.
Only as many that need to until the criminals realize they are out numbered. I still believe there a far more good people put there than there are bad.Interesting article.

from the clip:We would be forced to cease responding to certain crimes and, most disturbingly, I would not be able to ensure our citizens that we could make a timely response to serious, violent crimes as well, said Kimball.
I have my own thoughts on the validity of his statement..."do you want to... have somebody show up when you really need a law enforcement officer, and protect your family and protect your house and protect whatever - and that person is not avaliable"
That article really seems to demonize the delivery driver and says the clean record gang bangers were just young innocent kids with hopes, dreams, and a future<broken link removed>

How did it demonize the driver? It said he was well within his scope of the law do do what he felt was necessary. The article also mentioned that one of the kids had gang ties.That article really seems to demonize the delivery driver and says the clean record gang bangers were just young innocent kids with hopes, dreams, and a future
This is what happens when orginizations become "top heavy".I'm sure I well catch crap for this statement, but I believe that.
Law enforcement has become "big business"
What percentage of LEO man hours are spent writing revenue generating tickets vs responding to real crime? How many management type LEO's spend countless hours justifying there own jobs.
Incarceration has become "big business"
How full would the prisons be if all the people their for minor drug related offenses or mental health issues got treatment instead of incarceration? Maybe reinstate the Death Penalty for crimes like murder and kidnapping.
And the biggest waste of tax payer money is the cost of education. Good teachers deserve good pay, and they get good pay for the 183 days a year that the work. The admin side is so heavy with waste I can't believe it.
rant off. Take meds!
