Better to have it when you need it - A gun that is ...

[dogtag]

If you have one and are prepared to use it and point it at
the thug trying to break into your store with looting in mind
then you will have saved yourself the trouble of cleaning up
and counting your losses like so many are having to do.
Several property owners have had successful confrontations
just as these people did.

good for them

A gun is like a parachute. You'll probably never need one. But if you do need one, and you don't have one, you'll never need anything again.

Yeah, it's that first step out of the Plane door that's the killer
when you don't have a chute or at least a sturdy umbrella (not made in China)

Actually, it's the LAST step -- and the sudden stop -- that hurts.

As Hank Arender (US Parachute champion in the early 1960s) used to say, "A man CAN fly. He just has a high stall speed and a steep glide angle."

Gun shop owner sent this one to the looter's Valhalla. Of course the dead guy was just protesting the death of George Floyd.



A South Philadelphia gun shop owner shot and killed a man trying to break into his store early Tuesday morning amid heightened looting concerns.

Philadelphia police said the owner of Firing Line Inc. was staying the night inside the shop on South Front Street because over the last few nights someone had tried breaking in.

The owner told police he was monitoring his surveillance camera and saw three or four people trying to get in around 4 a.m. The group was using bolt cutters on the gate. A broken lock could later be seen on the ground.

The group then smashed in the back door, police said. When they made it upstairs the owner started shooting and shot one man in the head.

That man died in the store, police said. The other men ran off. Police found a gun that the owner said does not belong to his shop at the scene, so they think someone brought that with them.

An injured person turned up at Jefferson University Hospital, which investigators said could be connected to this. The person was shot in shoulder.

The South Philly neighborhood where this happened has seen members of the community protecting stores from looting that has spread across the city over the past several days.

Local stores keep profits in the neighborhood in a way that chain stores do not. Gotta do what it takes to protect them.

Now let some ambitious shyster look into who was behind all this -- Soros, for example -- and start a class action lawsuit against them.

Whereas you are very hierarchical in your thinking, and assume there must be a mastermind out there, these people are anything but hierarchical. You cannot begin to understand them which means you don't know how to deal with them effectively.

maybe, but there have been protest in the past where the protesters were paid, and bused in,

happened here in RVA a few years ago, and over half those arrested this past weekend were not from RVA,,,


some 'community organizer' or similar is paying folks to make a stand,
that should stop

A 357 would be effective. A thug is easily understood.

[shadycon]

Black man tries to rob mom& pop store in Daytona Bch. a few yrs. ago. Store owner has 357 under the counter. Never pulled it out, just shot thru the plywood front of counter. Cops find him outside the door with a stomach wound full of splinters, gun next to him. No charges filed.

You keep profits in the neighborhood by hiring people from the neighborhood.
A Chain store does the same thing. They send their profits to head office, but
the people they hire don't. They spend their wages locally.

Save your breath. Leftists don't understand economics.

For the record, there are only three things a business can do with profits:

1. Hold them as a cash reserve -- and a certain percentage of reserve is prudent business sense.
2. Distribute them to the owners -- who will proceed to spend or invest them, expanding the economy.
3. Invest them in expanding the business.

All three of these things are GOOD things
