Stockton’s mayor says he’s exploring options to try to reduce violence in the city, including a Richmond program that pays people not to shoot each other.

Pay me what they might...I’m never going to stockton.
I read somewhere the Richmond model program pays big bucks and ran by exfelons. Lol. Seriously
When you actually have a mayor who will pay people to not shoot each other, you know the MOTB is not too far off considering the technological advances made recent.
Crime prevention using RFID technology?
Elon Musk? Zuckerberg? Interested?
If it pays enough, maybe the violent felons in my town will move to Stockton. How much does it pay?
Of course! That's the answer!
We need to pay guns not to shoot people.
They can send me a check and I’ll stay on my side of the Sierras. Mmmkkkkay?
Beam me up too!
Sounds like a great idea- there are a lot of people they could pay me not to shoot.
Hey, last night while coming out of a Wal-Mart in what was once a very safe area.....guy and his gal remark on the car I was driving (I was driving someone else’s car, not mine).
So, we get to yakking but I had just taken my 2A out of the trunk. So I said hey just ignore this and he says not a problem.
So I yak with him and his gal about cars, repair shops....then he tells me he wants to buy my gun (it’s in the bag; concealed carry legal in my state).
I said, no, even if I ever did sell it, all transactions MUST go through my FFL (yeah, to protect ME).
He then admits he’s A CONVICTED FELON. Yeah, uh, NO WAY AT ALL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES am I going to even ATTEMPT a sale; ESPECIALLY to this dude.
He then demands that I sell it to him and pops out his cash. I thought, fer cryin’ out loud.
Finally he gave up. That could have gone very bad.
Like I say, fairly-new store, very few people (basically only the 3 of us in the parking lot).
Yeah, I made sure I took some odd routes with no one following to get back home.
Good gosh. Sometimes I’m too nice. Almost for my own good. Thank God; probably literally. Won’t do that again. Took that as a lesson.
I’m 67 and I’ve never shot anyone. How much do I get?
Grocery store parking lots are always dangerous.
They are especially dangerous for lone women.
It’s where they go to rob people or follow them home to rob them when they are busy with the door open carrying in groceries.
Always been aware of what is around you when going into the parking lot and leaving it.
Yeah, I’m usually more cautious. Actually had been in one earlier that night which I considered more dangerous.
I goofed up, basically. Should have tossed it back in the trunk right off. If it was cooler, I would have had my jacket and at least some pepper spray. I don’t have a concealed holster for the thing because it feels like 1,000lbs, LOL. Shoots fairly-accurate, though.
I often run into cops when I go to the nearest convenience store. I’m going to suggest they might want to patrol that parking lot during certain hours.
He’s braindead Jim.
Just a wild guess, I’ll bet they pay extra for not shooting the mayor.
What a switch. When I was younger the govt paid me to go out and shoot at people.
“What a switch. When I was younger the govt paid me to go out and shoot at people.”
Yep.

Stockton may have gotten out of financial bankruptcy, but the moral and civic bankruptcy continues.
Robber: OK Hand over all your cash.
Victim: Nope. You’ll have to shoot me for my $45.
Robber: Damn! I get $50 for not shooting you.
Really, categorize this under ideas only a lib could comprehend.
Other than that, he is as qualified as Obama was to be a presidential candidate...
