“Random.”
Sure.
Drove past our local gun shop this afternoon on my way to the bicycle shop. The place needed a cop to direct traffic it was so crowded. They were parked everywhere a car or truck could squeeze in. Tons of cars and trucks. The parking lot was full. Parking along the streets and across the street in the Dollar General store on the corner. People are buying guns, I bought two pistols last week, a Beretta 9 mil for me and a Bersa Thunder .380 cal pistol for the little wife. It looks just like the same pistol as James Bond lugs around, but not the same company, but looks like it. She has fired it and loves it. Her 38 Smith and Wesson snub nose was bruising her hand when she shoots it. But she loves her new .380!! Stay armed, stay ready.

It was a peaceful protest until three people got killed.
DT / PA now reporting a Libyian male has been arrested.
Witnesses say he was shouting something “unintelligible” [but begins with Allah].
