Armed Robbery right in front of my office

Moments ago, right outside my office. If I was looking out my window, I would have seen it. Two guys with guns took a woman's purse. Would have been a great opportunity for me to use my verbal judo skillz. I guess I need to improve my perception skillz, or my stay awake skillz, or something.

That wasn't an armed robbery, that was probably just the new California Purse Tax collectors at work.

+1 to that. It also has a way of telling us to say "I don't give a schit what the laws say or that it's impossible to get a CCW around here - I'll do what I need to in order to SURVIVE thank you!"

California. I'm more concerned about your women. So you say it takes TWO guys with GUNS to snatch a womens handbag - jeez she must be tough.

Did they really go through with that early release program? Did it cause a spike in crime?

The Dow is at 7484 as I type this.

Economy tanking.

In a state like arizona or texas, where people pack heat, if you saw this happening would it be legal for you to shoot the robbers?

I'm not sure about those individual State laws but the answer is yes in Georgia.
