If only he'd had a gun for self defense.

I could go out there and take some pics. Same as a deputy. In a county the size of Rhode Island, you can be in Pawtuket, when the call comes in. We're probably going to find out that bad guys were involved. Or, wimmin'.

Right, too bad he didn't. Good point.

So much good always comes about when people have guns. More people should have one. Or 50.

Ghee whizz Ponder why don't you start a thread about that?

Maybe I wish he did have a gun. But, at best, that'd probably just double the count, in our favor. When, they could have hammered things out, with boulders. Feeling for lead, with a forcep, is a little artsy. Blunt force trauma, can have you picking the shards out of their brains. Maybe, poison tipped bullets?
