"The only time that I am not armed is when I am in my place of employment -because it's a, "Private Property. Firearms Not Allowed," area."

Your boss needs lessons in firearm safety. One day an employee at the facility where I work came in and asked the owner about his weapon. The worker said he was a competitive marksman heading for a meet after work, and asked if it would be OK to have his weapon locked in his car in the parking lot.

The owner said: "Of course not. You're a competitive marksman. Your weapon needs to be in here, with you. You, it, and the rest of us will be a whole lot safer when you have it nearby."

They could use a neighborhood watch.

Maybe he was it.

Triplett gave a detailed description of the suspects, did he include black or is that to racist for him?

That’s always been my rule too.

Standing around outside your house at 2:15 AM? Sounds like a late night drug delivery gone bad.

I think I have posted this before but anyway, I worked with a young lady who grew up in Florida. I can’t remember what city (Gainesville?). There was a day called Cracker Day when the black students gave themselves free rein to assault white students. She said she and her sister were able to stay home on that day each year.

I agree with you. The seven guys on my crew agree with you. They’ve told me that they wouldn’t have any issues if I carried at work. I’ve taken a couple of them shooting before.
I’ve written and talked to the bosses about their lame, “Huddle in place and wait to be murdered,” policy. Still a no-go.
People in the firearms rights community say, “You should find another job somewhere else.” Well, I can’t find a job somewhere else where I can make as much as I do.

Still, I have a plan.
