Make it to were if they find a gun on you they will throw the book and lock you up. Sure we might see the prison overpopulated at first, but after, i"m sure people will think twice about carrying a gun.

Lots of good people carry illegally in Los Angeles and California...it's just not out in the open.

I want to carry legally...which is why I am moving to NV, CO, NM, or TX

I don't care if they off each other, but targeting grandpa-type senior citizens, and teenage girls? Un-frickin-believeable.

I'm at a loss for words.

Where's the code? Where's the warrior ethic?

The basic understanding that you don't screw with women, old folks, and little kids? It's just unbelieveable.

You can...with lots of money and praying....
I don't have excess money to throw at the sheriff and I don't pray.

And I'm not Sean Penn*...




*is like one of the only "normal" non-bodyguard, off duty cop type

Just move to Orange, Kern or San Bernardino County and you can get a CCW.

Agreed. Agreed... Rep points


It'll teach these basterds that you just cant get away with harassing any Joe Public cuz you dont know if their carrying and would just all be happy with obliging in blowing their damn brains out. For me? it would be a pleasure to put you out of your misery

They have their friends and family in there so it's like vacation time. Get rid of these bastards, no need to spend our tax dollars on them.

Took the words right outta my mouth Dawg. +points

Please, let's not get our information from the Newspaper. They simply peddle newspapers because they want people to be afraid, because it keeps them watching and buying, along with the local news who does the same. How many times are they going to blame "gangs", for every crime committed? There are more intelligent and respected people who have studied the conflicts in society, and gang culture, who should be our consultants, not someone who has not thoroughly researched it. It is disheartening when violence strikes, but if we are not aware; "societal violence can remake humans into the image of violence, and rob them of their innocence to be violent themselves." (Miroslav Volf: Professor at Yale) Seeing the responses here definitely displays that society is interconnected, so we should stop pretending that we are simply all individuals, and that our actions don't affect other people. Just my thoughts. Peace.

Why don't you lobby for a California Conceal Carry...that whole thing about getting a license if you can PROVE that your life could be in danger is stupid...concealed hand guns in the hands of law abiding citizens can solve a lot of problems
