Reply #26: Okay, say I had a gun, the burglar would only have taken [View All]

the gun as part of his loot. I wasn't home you see. As for the robbery there was no way I could have reached for a gun after having one pointed at me when I wasn't expecting it. So being armed would have been useless if not even more dangerous.

As far as the police, this was about the time huge budget cuts were done to the police department because of the passage of the Jarvis ammendment. The police who used to patrol a lot more before, patroled less and had less manpower. No I didn't feel that safe, but what can you do if selfish voters only care about reducing their taxes.
