As Long Angeles crime spirals out of control, even some of the city's wealthiest residents have flocked to Beverly Hills' only gun store to buy firearms to protect themselves and their belongings.
Beverly Hills Guns first opened by appointment only in July 2020, and has seen upscale residents from Santa Monica to the Hollywood Hills increasingly in a panic following some high-profile smash and grabs and violent home invasions in recent weeks, Los Angeles Magazine reports.
Many are self-proclaimed progressives who've never even held a gun before, but who've been so spooked by soaring crime in the famously wealthy enclave that they've decided to arm themselves.
Some have also discussed more elaborate security measures, such as armored cars, safe rooms and bulletproof glass inside their homes, after some celebrities, including a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and a BET host were stalked by robbers into their homes.
Jacqueline Avant, 81, a philanthropist and the wife of music legend Clarence Avant, was also killed in a home invasion robbery and shooting earlier this month.
'Everyone has a general sense of constant fear, which is very sad,' said Beverly Hills Guns owner Russell Stuart. 'We're used to this being like Mayberry.' He was referring to the peaceful fictional town from The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD.
But over the past year, Hollywood's total violent crime rate increased 25 percent with its homicide rate doubling, robberies up 41.6 percent and shootings up 54.2 percent over last year, Los Angeles Police Department shows.

In May, Gascon's opponents organized a recall effort to oust him from office.
However, despite garnering more than 200,000 signatures from LA citizens in a matter of months, the campaign fell short in October, failing to amass the needed 580,000 LA County voters needed to remove Gascon."
“We’re used to this being like Mayberry.”
Huh?
Soon John Carpenter’s “Escape from L.A.” will become a reality.
The Law of Unintended Consequences has caught up with these lotus eaters in La La Land with a vengeance.
Even with outstanding training (Insight) and regular practice, it takes years to achieve competence.

Baldwin should open a gun safety training center - only libs may apply.
KARMA!!!!!
Quick question to Cal’s wealthy crowd who are now buying up guns and ammo - are you the same people who voted to retain Newsom last September?
Beverly Kills
I would love to have been there when those morons find out that California has a 15-day waiting period for gun purchases! They were ALL in favor of that law - until THEY wanted to buy a gun....

The kinfolk said Jeb move away from there

Probably at no time do these dunderheaded elites connect two and two and consider their disconnected lifestyle is what enabled them to have “luxury beliefs” while regular people suffered. This went on for awhile and they didn’t care as long as the problem didn’t touch them. Now the problem is touching them. G
Remember reading in Heston’s autobiography Into the Arena, that during riots in LA, many of his liberal friends went to him asking to borrow firearms from him. He reminded them that it was illegal to do so and that they had not been trained in firearm safety.
I believe she is the aunt of Harold Ford. Who in my mind is the only Dem who would stand a chance of beating Trump.
Weird thing is Baldwin’s dad was the rifle coach at a Massapequa High School.
