To kick it off.

Anyone know what it feels like to be told you will be shot one by one?

Has this incident caused you to rethink living in Los Angeles/California?


Too soon. Plus most of the people in the Giant metropolis do not have these experiences. There are pros and cons to everything, including uprooting yourself at 70.

Wow. You would think Trader Joe’s would be safe. Glad you are okay. The wild west indeed.

Any regrets about not carrying concealed?

There's always one in every crowd.

Wow.

Just reading thru the thread again. Hope you are doing well today and on your way to healing and recovery. God wants you to fulfill a purpose here, so He spared you! Praise God!

But what if you’ve been in a situation like Bunny has, now? Could she have a legal case for wanting to stay safe and cc?

Indiana is not a “Constitutional Carry” State (yet), so I’ll stay where I am, thankyouverymuch.

Perhaps not yet; but we've been 'shall issue' for a long time.

We take a while to change things around here.

No. Having been a hostage at one point in your life will not be a valid reason for the Los Angeles Sheriff to issue a CCW license to BunnySlippers. I am sure the reason given would be “lightning doesn’t strike twice”.

The left is evil. They don’t follow logic like the fact that someone traumatized by crime given the opportunity to feel the safety of carrying a firearm. The commie rat left wants us disarmed. There is no logic to counter that.

The commie Left is entirely evil to the core.

I despise this state politically.

Having been put onto the cement floor of Trader Joe’s with a gun to your head for hours IS NOT REASON TO BE ALLOWED TO CARRY A FIREARM?? Talk about unconstitutional. This disgusts me.

“Bunny, this incident may allow you to get a CC permit! Maybe!! If you are interested.”

That is very unlikely in LA County. There is no ongoing personal threat. of the 58 CA counties, LA is one of 9 whose “standard is “Virtually no Issue!” Equally interesting is that of the 1697 murders committed in CA in 2015, 526 were committed in LA County, 110 in neighboring San Bernardino County, 93 in Riverside county and 74 in San Diego County. Of these, only San Diego is a no issue county, so I guess their murder problem is mainly concentrated in the areas where these counties abut LA County. Doing the numbers, that’s 47% of the murders in the entire state! The other interesting stat is the counties where you can get a CCW for the asking, 8 had NO MURDERS at all, and a total of 36 of the 58 had less than ten each.

“I despise this state politically.”

The comment should be that you despise our political leaders. There isn’t anything to “despise” about California otherwise. It is a choice place otherwise., and that’s why the East Coast Liberal $hit came here in the first place. Diversity is Bull$hit!

I’m in awe of your ability to remain calm for all those hours and to even extend kindness to the shivering gunman. Goodness!

Are you okay today? Please take extra good care of yourself as you get over the shock. I wish I lived nearby and could help with pasta, toddies and errand-running.

I have a million questions. Please tell us more if and when you’re ready!

Love,
J.

A lot of LA peeps have concealed carry. I would consider.

BTW. I was interviewed by several TV stations today. I only identified as “Teri”.
