Ferrari Mailing List: 12-15 Capacity Mags--Guns etc.

[Robert Rehkopf (CaptRehkopf]

I understand some people don't like guns. I also understand some people say why 
get yourself into that type of situation where you need a gun. Just read the 
recent story in the Commercial Appeal about a small town girl in Dumas AR (I 
believe) called her mother said she was on her way home, driving home in the 
early evening and ran out of gas. They found her body a week later. I have two 
daughters one will not carry so I bought her a Streamlight flashlight to shine 
in an attackers eyes and real mace. The other just turned 21 and she will 
carry. 
The reason I say this is in my City, everyday there are 60,000 convicted felons 
free on the street and another 60,000 people who do crime for a living, 
everyday. These times with people on drugs are not like any days anyone 
remembers. You venture 100 yards of Beale Street to your parked car and you're 
going to be a victim sooner or later. 
Guns are for 'getaways' not confrontation. As a LE friend said to me the more 
getaway shots you have the better off you are. Also, if your depending on the 
Police to protect you they really do try, but probably the only protection 
you'll get will be for your dead body. In my City, there are the bump and grab, 
purposeful minor accidents, everyone stops to swap insurance information, and 
you're dead or hurt. I know for some of us it is hard to think like that but 
we're not committing the crime or doing these awful things. Drug addicts will 
do ANYTHING for more drugs, and your life means nothing to them.
When your at work, and your office is invaded, and you're a hostage, bound 
gagged and blindfolded , and when the police finally arrive, there between your 
eyes is the imprint of a 357 barrel, you'll understand you don't have to be 
anywhere but at work to have a deadly situation.
