Being the San Francisco area, not many there are allowed to be armed. Isn't it awful that it nearly always takes a gun to stop criminals like this guy--and how law-abiding people (usually the first line of defense) aren't allowed to be armed.

Had a armed citizen been on the scene, chances are good that the poor child would be alive right now.

This was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, but this outrage didn’t happen there.

Turlock is an agricultural community in the “Central Valley,” generally a more conservative area of California.
I believe the “Central Valley” is the San Joaquin Valley and the Sacramento Valley combined.

Still, the over-reaching gun laws passed in California’s capital, Sacramento, affect the entire state in a negative way.

Being the San Francisco area

You obviously don't know where Turlock is. It's in the San Joaquin Valley, south of Modesto.

Turlock is a long long way from SF.

As an ex-cop I said it before: It’ll take the cops 5 or more minutes to get to crime scene—a lot longer in rural areas only exception is if a cop happens to be standing right at the moment and place where the crime is occurring. You figure the odds on that. CCW should be permitted everywhere if licensed. And as the economy worsens look for more violent crime.
