It was a nice young white boy wearing a Boy Scout uniform and carrying a prayer book.
It’s Aikido - A-I-K-I-D-O.
I will assume you meant “Now that’s just plain fun!”
Fighting is not fun if it is necessitated, but only when it is joined in sport with accepted controls.
He would not hesitate to draw down, nor would I.
...and yes we know it is illegal to carry in church. He and I figure he will deal with the ramifications should he ever have to reveal his weapon.
While I agree that one should know how to defend themselves w/o a firearm, the idea that an unarmed layman can “dance around etc etc” is disingenuous to say the least!
I'd really like to hear the tales of “mano-a-armed mano” combat-very likely the “armed mano” would be telling it.
I am quite proficient in combatives/blended martial arts, and I carry a firearm. Seen the elephant more than once and know enough of reality to be well armed.

I am completely in agreement with the major premise of your post. However, I don’t think you serve your argument well by alleging that the police fail to show up in time due to “negligence”. To a man and woman, the law enforcement officers I know would like to be at the scene before a violent event occurs. You mentioned also a lack of resources. I’d posit to you that this is indeed the reason police don’t show up “on time”. When seconds count, they can be there in a few minutes.
You’re absolutely right about Wisconsin and Illinois being States which guarantee, by law, a criminal’s right to have a selection of unarmed prospective victims.
If even one tenth of one percent of the population of law-abiding citizens were able to carry concealed, the criminal’s odds of encountering an armed citizen would serve as a deterrent. Unfortunately, when some nut-job takes after a woman with a metal pipe in full public view, this moron hasn’t considered consequences.
But for the coward who now preys on an unarmed populace, reducing his odds of success will reduce his willingness to take the risk that he now deems acceptable. By law, the only armed people he’s now likely to encounter are cops and other criminals.
This state of affairs needs to be changed.
A liberal is nothing more than a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet. It’ll be interesting to hear from Hizzonner d’ Mayor on this one!!!!
lol...sounds like my ex-wife
