Like most of you, I've been watching the riots in the cities across England and wondering if they are a precursor of what we will see in in the USA if (and hopefully, when) federal and state gob'mints start cutting back on all the handouts and freebie's folks have been used to getting.
I noted that in a country where they don't play baseball, the sporting good stores of London, Liverpool, and Luton, England, have sold out their total inventories of American style baseball bats. Interesting!
Apparently, they are the self defense weapon of choice in a population that has been disarmed by their government on the one hand, and left unprotected by a too thin police force on the other. Shop keepers, homeowners, apartment dwellers have no other means of defending themselves.
My thoughts leap across the 'Big Pond' to our great land. Could it happen here? Now Ole Pecoz ain't no Nostradamus mind you, I'm not even a great prognosticator of football game winners.... but I think I can picture the pattern now.
In those Blue states up and down the Left Coast, The North East and upper mid-west, I see similar riots happening in city after city. I hope not of course, but I can see them developing next year if Congress does it's job and turns off the spewing fire hydrants of gob'mint tax dollars for so called entitlements.
But then I look at those 'Red' states in Flyover country, with reasonable gun laws, Concealed Carry Licensing, and general respect for private property and the sanctity of life - and I see a whole 'nother scenario. I see hooligan bullies forming crowds, running rampant but coming up short as the first shotgun blasts come out those store front doors as their owners protect their life's investment. And as that pedestrian pulls out his Glock 40 Concealed carry weapon when cornered by a threatening group of punks. And pulling back as that harmless looking lady pulls a Pink 38 Special out of her purse.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not predicting a 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' in these Red state cities and towns ...... just the opposite! I'm predicting that an armed, defended population will not put up with being victimized, nor depend on and wait hopefully for the stretched police force for protection, and the bully boys and looters --- will disappear back into their La Cucaracha hidey holes and let the peaceful demonstrators make the case for more welfare handouts.
I hope that our Nation doesn't come to this..... but if it does, you can bet I'll be armed with my Concealed Carry License. And carrying of course!!
