re: #8 Obdicut

Having the means to defend yourself is not any guarantee, any more then calling the police. It’s a fighting chance. Using NRA rhetoric, exaggerating it for derision on a blog is one thing. But taking it as some flawless assurance of surviving an assault is a straw man of the most deceptive sort. Banal.

This is a crime story that had a great veteran as a victim. There is not much more to be learned about this, and it has zero relevance to ones defense/security decisions in their own circumstances. This crime has no more relevance to that than a gangland murder.
