Mollie Tibbets: Didn't Have to End That Way

(1/3) > >>

SemperFiGuy:
It's not all that uncommon to see young, nubile women running along on lonely stretches of jogging path.  Unaccompanied.   Alone.

Every time I see that kind of event  happening, I always wonder just what are they thinking of.   Or--actually--not thinking of.

When I see my own daughter suiting up (or unsuiting, as it generally happens) to go runninig, I ask her if she is taking her handgun.   And I get that startled look, as in "Now, why would I want to do THAT....?"   And she is a certified NE CHP instructor and holds a current NE CHP.   And has a Beretta 21A that I gave her.   And she shoots it quite well.  But leaves it at home.

If Mollie Tibbets had been carrying even one of those teeny NAA .22LRs, her story coulda had a different ending.  Quite different.

It IS a Jungle Out There.   Even a jungle can look peaceful.  But it's still a jungle.

FWIW,

Over the years in reading these posts I have often noticed that you and I have shared many viewpoints in common.

Including this one.

For ten years I lived in (or near) a village of 480 souls and if that town of 1,400 is not any different then I suspect that all the illegal aliens in that town and general area are sensing that it would be better for them if they went someplace else.  Perhaps Southern California.

I run and bike a lot, and I'm always amazed by how many young women (and men) I see who are trucking along the bike path with earbuds, completely oblivious to their surroundings.  I'm old and slow so I get passed more than I pass others, but when I overtake someone they usually have no idea I'm there until I'm already around them.
