\nAftermath of the Philly Riot<\/p>\n
Although the article is about The City of Brotherly Love (drive through it after midnight and feel all the love) it can pertain to many places here in the USofA. My entire state has some of the harshest gun laws on the books, and is “May Issue” to boot. That means unless one can convince a board of unelected officials one has a “good and substantial reason” to be armed, or be politically connected, there is exactly zero chance of obtaining a concealed carry permit. It’ll cost $200 USD just to try.
\nI was out and about today for reasons of necessity, and as such I was forced to travel through some of the sketchier parts of town. Was I armed?<\/p>\n
By: KRIS W. KOBACH<\/strong><\/p>\n For years, Philadelphia has been run by liberal progressives who oppose private gun ownership. In Philadelphia, a permit is required to carry a gun or transport one in a vehicle. Although Pennsylvania state law prohibits Philadelphia from enacting all of the gun control measures the city\u2019s leaders wish, the city\u2019s website reads like a gun control propaganda sheet.<\/p>\n The city\u2019s progressive leaders believe that guns should not be widely owned by ordinary citizens. The protection of the city\u2019s residents should be handled exclusively by the police department.<\/p>\n But what happens when the police are unable to protect the city\u2019s residents? The entire theory collapses. That\u2019s exactly what happened over the weekend in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n The looting and rioting escalated to the point where the police could not cover the city. In some parts of the city, looting was occurring without any police interference. In other places, police cars were hijacked or burned by the rioters. The Philadelphia Police Department asked for help from neighboring police departments in Montgomery County, Bucks County, and Abington Township, as well as the state police.<\/p>\n Times like this remind us just how important the Second Amendment is. When thousands of rioters loot and burn the businesses of innocent people, there\u2019s only so much the police can do to protect them. And in cities like Philadelphia, the police were completely overwhelmed.<\/p>\n In other cities such as Minneapolis, business owners of all races were able to protect themselves with firearms. They stood on their property and made clear that they intended to defend it. Having a police officer five minutes away is of limited value when an Antifa thug is five seconds away.<\/p>\n This is doubly true when the rioters are not only threatening residents\u2019 businesses, but also their homes. The possession of a firearm to defend oneself is literally a matter of life and death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the rest of the article here: Breitbart<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
