WTF????
That's what I figured. You're another one of the fact inventors.
Just how many people are going to defend themselves with a handgun, for instance in New York City with the Sullivan Law staring them in the face?
Bernard Goetz comes to mind, when faced with a group of "youths" wielding sharpened screwdrivers, he came out shooting and ended up in jail.
In North Dakota, he'd have been more likely to get a medal.
Colin Fergusson would never have gotten past the second of third round before he got shot here.
I have defended myself in North Dakota, with the local Sherrif's blessings beforehand.
Go here and compare North Dakota with DC violent crime statistics chart, then tell me how well the folks in DC are defending themselves, 'cause it is illegal to even own a handgun there.
