Fear is a great motivator. Here in California, it’s illegal to carry. But people are weighing their options, and are more willing to risk being caught carrying than to be a victim of black hoodlums. I’ve known quite a few women co-workers that carry handguns in their purses, despite the risk of being caught. The lawmakers have abandoned the people.
I thank God every day, almost, that I live in FL and can legally carry with my CWFL.
And yes, even here in FL I have friends who are now carrying illegally because they can’t afford the course and license fees. They would rather be able to defend themselves and face the legal ramifications afterwards than be dead at the hands of a racist mob.
