Re: signs; Armed robbers terrorize suspects in Sugar Land
I wonder if the signs come down now, because if you can't get criminals to obey the law who can you get to?

This isn't a crime problem, it's a literacy problem. We need a government program, free literacy classes for the vunnerables.

You're ignoring the liberal mindset. When what a liberal does fails to work he doubles down. Obviously, they need more signs or signs with bigger letters, or maybe signs out in the parking lot.Richbirdhunter wrote:I wonder if the signs come down now, because if you can't get criminals to obey the law who can you get to?

Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.

Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

The tactics here made it a little tougher for a carrier.
They put the emoloyees in the back, then waited for customers to walk in. Surprise! Not much chance to defend yourself when you are surprised as you walk in with an armed, or two armed, thieves.
Talk about the element of surprise!
This almost seems like a gang op.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Minor correction to this part of the story. It is not brazen at all to choose places where you have been assured that no law abiding citizens will be able to resist."To go in with that many people, especially now that people can carry guns, I think that was very bold," said Stavinoha.

The signs did what they were supposed to do: keep law-abiding licensed armed citizens out.
I wanted to leave a comment on the story to point that out, but it looks like that feature is disabled.Soccerdad1995 wrote:Minor correction to this part of the story.

I think our time would be better spent asking the owners how they plan to protect their customers after asking them to disarm and then providing inadequate security measures to ensure their safety.GhostTX wrote:The signs did what they were supposed to do: keep law-abiding licensed armed citizens out.

I would love to see a civil lawsuit on this from one of the customers.
