Default Safe Spaces

no, not the liberal weenie type of "safe space", but rather, places that we go that we might think are relatively "safe"

just looking at the news today, and previously, I see stories about people being shot by a gun in:

grocery store
barber shop
church
synagoge
night club
concert venue
office building

and probably others i can't recall.

so....there really are no "safe spaces", so you may as well either not go to any of these places, or be able and willing to defend yourself if some dumbass decides that today is the day to shoot off his gun in your direction.

accurate, quick, sustained fire is suggested.

I have NEVER heard of anyone being shot to death while cruising around in their 1970 BB Corvette Convertible, with the top down, and working the 4 speed manual transmission. I feel pretty safe there.

Here in Georgia at least we have "Constitutional Carry" now... don't have to apply and pay for a "license' to carry for protection. Being entitled to return fire makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yup, we've had constitutional carry in NH for 5 years now. The only reason I still get a LTC is for reciprocity with neighboring states, except MA of course.

LOL, come drive in Houston and you'll be taking your life in your own hands, between the teeming masses of 3rd World drivers who can't drive worth a shit, the road rage, and the carjackings, juggings, etc.

Bonus points if you don't know what a 'jugging' is, because everyone here knows what it is.

Sadly happening in many big towns these days... Just one more reason to not go to the bank.

No idea what jugging is either, but I doubt it has anything to do with making a left turn.

Maybe it’s when you get mugged by a jogger like Ahmaud Arbery?

The carry license was easy to obtain, at least for us, before this came into effect. On a side note, NH was the first state to remove all knife laws from the books.

Criminals find someone, usually in a nice car, leaving a bank, upscale shopping center or restaurant, follow them home, then rob them. Many times they kill the victims, just because. That's 'jugging,' Be glad you don't know what it is. We not only know all about it here, we coined a word for it.

I made my wife aware of this trick. If she will feel or see something, she will just keep on driving passed the house or through the neighboring subdivision.

My wife calls me and tells me we'll have visitors so I can meet them on the street. If they won't stop i follow them to their house.

Funny that a gun store is probably the safest place to be. At least a shooter would be quickly and accurately addressed.
