When the happens 50,000 more times then Jackson may solve their crime problem and should be able to focus on infrastructure. I believe every Jacksonian with a clean record should get a deeply discounted Concealed Carry Permit.
An armed society is a polite society.
And only a tyrannical government fears armed citizens
How can we make criminals pay for their medical care and incarceration costs instead of innocent taxpayers?
better than ms lumumba's plan to deal with crime...
No. You're the hero of the day, Kingfish.
Make your shots count when in self-defense.

I read the Lumumba gibberish and never could identify the "plan". What the hell was her "plan" ?
I wish I could shoot at every male who sexually harrasses me in public. Tends to be older white men. They need to be taught a lesson.
3:42 That used to bother the heck out of me and then I got older and it seemed overnight nobody looked my way anymore. While I understand your discomfort I also tend to miss the attention. Now everybody is super nice and calls me mam while they try not to look at me.
3:41. her plan, as i read in the sponsored article at the CL, sums with everyone stand in a circle and think nice thoughts and crime goes away.
3:59, cool story. sucks to suck.
3:42 You win the award for most blatant racist statement of the month. And that is quite an accomplishment on this site.
I don't get the title.
If it wasn't for the catcall I don't think we'd have ever gotten married and had all those kids. True story. I do admit to being somewhat offended when she did it, but when she got out of the car I decided I would overlook it, just this once, good gracious. Aw shucks ma'am...
The problem I have with women complaining about men paying attention to them is that in most cases they just complain about the men that do it that aren't attractive to them, but if he's attractive then they get all doe-eyed. And then you may be completely misreading his intentions, just being nice can be mistaken for something else sometimes.
Mississippi has Constitutional Carry, you don't need any permit to carry concealed in most places. You don't gain a huge amount with the regular permit unless you travel out of state, the MS permit is recognized in 30-something states now, and anywhere you travel in the southeast you are good to go. The enhanced permit does give some advantages, but some effort must be made to obtain it.
Some with the more cowboy mentality need to be warned occasionally...you can only shoot when there is no other choice. Shooting to protect property is frowned upon. If you do get charged, even if you're acquitted, you're very likely going to have enough legal costs to ruin you, or at least cramp your style somewhat.
