I see our local bike gang members all wearing full faced helmets with dark faceshields these days. I'm surprised it took them so long to figure this one out.

And yes, many U.S. shopkeepers are armed. I vaguely remember a case a year or more ago (maybe several) where some armed robbers stormed into a jewelry store. The brothers, or family, or whomever that owned it had several firearms stashed in strategic locations throughout the shop. The result was a quick exchange of gunfire, and every damn robber lay dead. As it should be.

The Brits are hopelessly lost on this one. I wonder if they will ever demand the right to protect themselves. Probably not.
