I take it Denver doesn’t have conceal and carry?
Were you acting white Windflier or just trying to be a good God fearing American?

What you are witnessing is inbred hate for a person of a different race. Good people, who vary in races do not teach their offspring this type of savage mindset. Of course, with the election of the Keyan, permission has been probably granted/ endorsed by FUBU AG Holder. These postings are of my own opinions.

“Im not joking, FRiend. First of all, not many, even in this conservative region, pack heat to shop downtown. Second, those who do carry, will do just about anything to avoid shooting a yoot. The law, even in these parts, gives you a lot of grief when you do that.”
Okay, you made it more clear by distinguishing between
a home break in, and street crime. Also, the “heat” one gets from the authorities also differs. You are apparently in New York, and your laws and how they are applied are far different than here in Arizona. Here, you can go almost anywhere with a gun strapped to your waist, and nobody even notices. If I go downtown, I carry a gun, period. Stay safe.
It shouldn't have gotten to that point.
Rlmorel, sounds like you were a vic of the WPWT syndrome. Wrong Place and Wrong Time. I do not know karate either, but I do know Kashoot.

I have one too, actually several.
The only experience I’ve had along these lines occurred in Chicago, made a long weekend out of a business trip, and friends flew up. We went out on the town, had a great time, got a little blitzed. Driving a rental Lincoln, bumped a curb causing a tire to leak, stopped at a 24 hr. gas station to put air in, air hose was way at the back, in a dark corner. Pulled up, started putting air in the tire, laughing and joking, then out of nowhere the car was surrounded. Late teens, all black, purporting to want to wash the windshield, at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning.
Don’t know where it came from, but I put on my worst southern twang and said “I don’t give a $*** it’s a rental.” Don’t know if thugs can be taken aback, but they appeared to have been, initially. They recovered from the shock or whatever, and then I had to repeat this several times, with the ten or so moving closer each time.
A friend, the drunkest of us all, managed to get in behind them, grabbed the air hose and started whipping it around over his head and popped a couple of them with it. That created enough of a distraction to get everybody in the car, throw it in reverse and get out of there. And, that was that. I imagine they still laugh about it up there, if any of them are still alive and kicking to laugh about it.
One of those friends liked it enough up there that he took a job in Chicago. He was attacked several years ago and has a steel plate in his skull now. Just went outside to get something out of his car, parked on the street while at a friend’s house, and wham! Didn’t even see it coming, couldn’t possibly ID his attacker(s), other than young, black, wearing a hooded jacket.
So, this has been going on for a long time. My experience was in the early 90’s.
Truthfully, they are not afraid of you. They know that the “new school” upbringing abhors self sefense and standing up to bullies.
Please note: most laws are enacted to keep the “common men and women of America” in their place.
Old School Upbringing: Stand up fight and win be any means necessary. If outnumbered pick up an equalizer to make their numbers count for nothing.

So I take it you would give that expression maybe half a lobster claw? :-)
The history channel has a very informative series called “gangland”.It really gives you a lot of insight into the mentality of ALL different gangs.They cover the whites, blacks, asians, Haitians, latino, etc.I remember one episode in particular about one of the worst black gangs in L.A.,when the police cracked down on them hard, the racsist screaming started. After that, they pretty much had to let the gangs do what they wanted.The police commissioner and mayor were too worried about being P.C.
VERY sad, but VERY true.
I have a supermarket about one mile from my house. The walk there and back has a very nice sidewalk and it’s just pleasant. I have made that walk everyday for 8 years for exercise and mental relaxation. I love my walk. It puts a cap on the end of my work day and relaxes me. I think through all of my responsibilities and problems when I walk.
Well, about 3 years ago an apartment complex on the route went section 8 and things have gone down hill swiftly. It started with vandalism, graffiti, cars broken into, etc. Now we’ve had two armed robberies on that lovely sidewalk in the last two months.
I stopped taking my walk. Am I a coward? I don’t feel like I am. Do I own a firearm? Sure, I own enough firepower to invade Cuba. Do I have a conceal carry? No. I have yet to go down that road because I take the responsibility very seriously and I’ve opted to judge my maturity level harshly before following through with that step. Could I illegally pack my pistol every day and walk on like I still lived in a civilized nation. Sure I could do that. Would I kill my attacker, yes I would. Would I be prosecuted, yes I would. Would I lose my life savings defending myself? Yes I would.
The result: the savages win.
Search engine...now!
I’m against hate crimes of any kind
It’s thought policing.
Just punish the crime as harshly as possible!
Is that a Ruger GP 100? Fine gun. I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson 686+ with a custom trigger job. I can’t describe how much fun it is to shoot. Also bought an Smithie M&P 9c for conceal carry, if I ever decide to do that.
For those in Colorado, get out as fast as possible!
I think you should post this story modified as you did to some liberal sites to see their reactions.
amen...that is exactly what we need to do. Start protecting ourselves with everything we have. Let’s redefine political correctness...
