The need for self defense
In light of the terrible catastrophe produced by the Super Storm "Sandy" of 10/29/12 - it seems apposite to re-post one of the late Kirby Ferris' items. It is part two of a three part series he wrote about being prepared -- "What you can do, for yourself, right now".
The original remains as he wrote it but we have added a video clip to the bottom of the article which seems rather relevant to the circumstances produced by such weather devastation. We see an opportunist gang group committing an unprovoked attack on a citizen during the storm and robbing him as well as inflicting serious injury. It is the beginning of the clip which is most horrifying. The report states that the man was Jewish -- and as if his thirst for violence and brutality hadn't yet been quenched, one of the perpetrators sadistically steps on the unconscious man's head before walking away.
While we have noted the limitations on lawful carry in this sort of region it is hoped that the message is taken to heart and proves that the law-abiding citizen, anywhere, should not be constrained from implementing his/her constitutional right to be able to protect themselves.
Read the Kirby Ferris article - "What you can do, for yourself, right now Part 2". Prayers go out to all the many who are in dire straights after this catastrophic event.
