“Gonzalez” doesn’t sound like an Arab name.

This is going to expedite pres Trumps deportation cause now! And rightfully so! Democrats are ignorantly supporting such terrorism and are on the losing end of history by doing so! Maybe this will openmthe eyes of many who ignorantly support Palestine just because “its the thing that cool kids do”. Hopefully many will wake up to the murderous ideology of Islam.

Welcome back 1970s. :-(

That was the decade when terrrorist groups from Arab countries, Germany, Japan, Cuba, Ireland all worked together to attack Israel and other western countries.

Sounds like Elias Rodriguez is a grand-child of those old terrorists.

Israelis tend to take for granted the idea that cops or soldiers will take care of security problems. More should take to heart every RKBA supporter’s observation - when seconds count, the police are minutes away. If more were armed, 10/7 would have turned out differently.

I had to check on non CCW carry in CA. Posting this for information purposes only... It’s AI ... So whatever.

In California, carrying a concealed firearm without a license is typically a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine according to Shouse Law Group. However, it can be charged as a felony with penalties of up to three years in jail and/or a $10,000 fine if certain aggravating factors are present, such as being an active gang member, or not being in lawful possession of the firearm.

I don’t know what a CCW costs with all the fees and class requirements... Is it just cheaper to carry and take a misdemeanor chance?

Around here in my state it’ll cost less than $100, which includes ammo for the shooting portion of the CCW training. Getting arrested for illegal carry will cost a bunch more. If you have to ask any of these types of questions suck it up and take the training. You obviously need it.

I agree. If he is convicted under Federal law, he is eligible for the death penalty. Tim McVeigh got it. So should this guy.

The legal system won’t expedite this case like they did McViegh. OKC was LEO getting hit. This was just a couple of jews getting killed.
