"The California Highway Patrol turned down our application to armor-plate the cabs,"

I find this very odd as well. Am I to understand that in CA you have to "apply" to have your vehicle armor-plated? WTF is the logic behind that bit of absurdity?

The same kind of "logic" that prevents you from carrying a weapon for self-protection.

"When armor-plated cars are outlawed, only outlaws will have armor-plated cars." Obviously. They don't want Al Capone to have an impregnable rolling fortress.

And, as we all know, <sarcasm>laws are effective against outlaws.</sarcasm>

I had the same initial reaction. Then I thought of those LA bank robbers in body armor who held off an entire SWAT team for the better part of a day.

Same principle. And a reasonable principle. But poorly applied. I don't think we have to worry about these folks robbing a bank.

Who would be most likely to do it? You, or the Crips and Bloods?

It’s a violation of the rights of criminals to shoot someone without impediments...
