My street has a lot of business owners and they all have guns. You throw in the likely wiseguys, there’s a bunch more guns.

In 20 years, there’s never been ONE gunshot in the neighborhood.

That’s all I need to know about how safe guns are.

Take Vermont. Best gun laws in the country (ie, practically none), second lowest murder rate among the 50 states in 2014.

Tell’ya what...a lady friend and I had dinner at a German place right down in downtown Houston many years ago fairly late at night. It was a dimly lit parkin lot, big ol sky scrapers in the background.

As we were walking back to the truck, a big ol black feller come walking up to us...”Say main, got any jumper cables main?” He kept saying this over and over. After answering...no, he asked for a ride. All the while getting closer and closer. Told my girlfriend...go on to the truck.

I squared up in an attempt to keep him from getting any closer to her....then I hear, “hey...you! What do you want from him?” Praise the living Lord...a plain clothes cop walked from the darkness and approach us both.

I just about got thumped by a thug in Downtown Houston. NEVER AGAIN! As soon as Texas made concealed carry the law of the land...I got my CHL. I will never ever ever ever feel that helpless again. We were lucky that time. A cop working a 2nd job as security. Next time, may not have been so lucky. There are so many thugs out there that will kill a guy for a $20 dollar bill. Sad, but true.
