    Haven't posted much lately. Connection issues...

    Anyhow, I live VERY close to Jacksonville. This has been on the news here often. Something many of you may not know is Jacksonville, Florida is LOADED with crime. The Sheriff there is an anti gunner, and his cops have been arrested recently for prostitution, stealing, and one even threatened Ocommunist resulting in his arrest. Any time I'm in Jacksonville, my blood pressure is up, and my Glock is at my side.

    Last, if any of you were to come to Jacksonville, and see just how out of control the blacks are, you'd be blown away. It's like a zoo in a large part of Jax.

  7. I think this gets to the heart of the matter.

    The law, in FL at least, has made prosecution in cases of homicide much more difficult and Floridians know that. DAs in FL have been going on record citing homicides where they simply could not press a case but could have before the law went on the books.

    So here you have a knucklehead with a chip on his shoulder and a gun in his waist feeling emboldened. Had he been instilled with a duty to retreat he probably would have walked away, or ignored the other guys. And one teenager would be alive and the dummy wouldn't be facing murder charges.

    If you are going to be carrying your gun, it would be wise to research the sheriff that leapup mentioned, and if he really is an anti-gun cop, you would be subject to a very aggressive prosecution should you come into contact with him. It's one of the things that most people don't take into account when they leave their homes with a gun - the law enforcers in the jusrisdiction where you may contact with may not like you. Combine that with voters who don't like guns, and you are looking at a hostile jury as well.

  10. Would you care to share how 'someone like rcg' swore up and down with a complete fabrication against you? Did you retaliate? Did you call the cops? Surely you didn't just stand there and take the abuse.
