And there is a harsh reality
It is very unlikely that you will escape a well-executed ambush.
Targeted murder in Miami Beach. The Spring Break shithole of Florida.

I just showed the video the missus making the comment that in 25 years, we may have gone down there three times altogether, and she made the notation we went in and out never got out the car.
You can’t lose if you don’t go to stupid places and play stupid games with stupid people.
Welcome to the First Day of Spring!
I have been told that if you don’t like the weather in Tennessee, just wait ten minutes and it will change.
I am not saying weather here is crazy, but I am sure if properly motivated, it would boil the bunny.
Dude won himself a stupid prize
A man who tried to rob another man at gunpoint outside a Michigan liquor store was shot in the chest by a concealed carry permit holder and eventually arrested.
The victim told police that a man with a ski mask and a Detroit Lions jacket had followed him and his friend into a liquor store and then back outside before pulling a gun on them.
The suspect is said to have pulled out a gun and threatened to kill the concealed carry holder’s friend unless the concealed carry holder turned over his wallet.
The concealed carry holder then pulled out a gun as he was being patted down by the suspect and shot him in the chest.
The suspect, later identified as Joshua Fordham, was later found on the ground nearby by police suffering from a gunshot wound.
Click 2 Detroit reported that Fordham, who recovered from his gunshot injury, pleaded guilty in March 2014 to armed robbery and was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison.
Fordham is not legally allowed to own a gun and is facing a charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Gun laws didn’t stop of felon from illegally obtaining a gun and using it in a crime.
A concealed carry permit holder did use his legal gun to stop a felon from killing his friend.
Post Bruen, we’re seeing a number of states work to limit concealed carry to a degree that makes it impossible to carry legally.
Those states, for all their gun laws, do a piss-poor job of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. New York and New Jersey are notorious for dropping or reducing gun position charges.
One might cynically believe that these states want to protect recidivist criminals from citizens.
But in Michigan, if you try to rob a guy at gunpoint you roll the dice. This guy came up snakeeyes and won himself a bullet.

I have every right not to want to associate myself with Nazis and Klansmen, I think everyone would agree with that.
So why should I not be allowed to not want to associate with that shit?
Cultural Differences
According to the report, Jesse was a Jr. High School teacher. He was investigated to determine if he stole school property. It appears that the police got a search warrant and searched his home. They found stolen school furniture and tools
.
The headlines though, are not about a school teacher stealing from the taxpayers. Nope, he had 91 high-capacity magazines, with 48 fully loaded
.
Now I don’t know how many magazines I currently have. They are not inventoried. I don’t know how much ammunition I currently have on hand. I do know that there are at least 7 30rd magazines for each AR and each AK style rifle. There are at least 6 magazines for the Glock and another 6 for the PC-9. But there are a boat load of magazines in and around the house.
I don’t know how much ammo I have. I measure ammo in “full cans” And there are more than a few “full cans”.
This doesn’t count the 100s if not 1000s of stripper clips that have rounds on them, nor the enbloc clips that have rounds in them.
All in all. More than zero.
This guy is in trouble for nine “illegal” assault rifles and 91 “high-capacity” magazines.
Normally I would just say to a person like that “Great start! Keep up the good work.” The stealing from the school sort of means I won’t.
Years ago one of my friends contacted me. The local school was disposing of dozens of old computers. They were being sent to the dump. He asked if we wanted any of them and we took a dozen or so, refurbished them, upgraded them and gave them to people that didn’t have computers.
I’m pretty sure we would have been accused of “stealing” if the admin had found out. It is actually the case, in many locations, that taking stuff out of somebody’s dumpster/trash can is theft.
