    The police can't use there baton, flashlight, gun, mace, taser, and now pepper spray. These hippy fools should have been tasered and pepper sprayed at the same time..what is law enforcement supposed to say pretty please will you come with us and and we can discuss this over a cup of tea?

    There are many schools in the US now that recognize the right for self-defense. Concealed carry of firearms is coming to a college near you.
    Simple fact: Citizens with permits to carry firearms are less likely to commit any crime.

    Simple fact: CRIMINALS don't care what your laws are. They will commit crimes anyway.
