They now have enough information to obtain a search warrant and arrest two suspects. I have fingers crossed this will eventually be resolved and two criminals will be taken off the streets.
If I have a gun, I have to be willing to go through the training and commit to practice and carry. It's all or nothing. The plain and simple truth is my life was in their hands. I will not place faith in the mercy of a man pointing a gun at me. I'll take my chances, and you can bet I will be armed and trained properly.

Sounds terrible and best of luck on your decision. I often think about how everyone pretty much has my life in their hands, be it driving on a freeway or walking down the street and someone jumps the curb.
The world is either a scary place or a beautiful place.
