"Too much "victim" mentality forces us to question our rights."

LOL. Just a little experience as victims forces us to question our restraint and to assert our rights to life and property.

"Tom Cruise's job is to go back in time and arrest people who are going to kill people."

My kind of thinking.

Obviously, folks, my posts is a bit of a stretch. But if the enemy approaches you in uniform (baggy pants, certain colored clothes) and signals (makes hand signs) identifying himself as the enemy, just how long do you hold your fire?

(hint--'til you see the whites of his eyes)

The time is fast approaching when shooters of apparent gang members who aggress on them should have an affirmative defense on that specific basis alone. This is effectively what occurs when prosecutors look the other way, and the same principle is in effect in the State of Florida with it's Castle Doctrine extended to cover incidents outside one's dwelling. But it needs to be codified. Object to such a vauge and broad strategy? And who are you depending on to solve the problem, the cops? Hahahahahahaha. Dream on. You see what an intractable mess the cops have on their hands where gangs have really taken hold.

As an addendum, gang members are terrorists, and being as there is a declared war on terrorism, killing a gang member should not even constitute a criminal act. A little overreaching, perhaps, but, hey, I am a message board expert.

My recommendation is you move to Humble and north where the Piney Woods of East Texas begin. Such as you are putting up with slacks off around Greens Road, where the gang bangers begin to encounter an overwhelming redneck factor in the resident population. The .357 still rules thereabouts, eclipsed only by the .30-.30 and the twelve gauge.
