Maumi~“Man it just boils my skin when a robber (its bad enough that you are stealing) has the nerve to try to kill an employee that most likely earns minimum wage. What makes these lames devalue life the way they do? I will never understand.“
For once we agree on something. What’s worse about the situation is that not only is it a subsistence wage at best, but then the employer drives his Lexus SUV home to his mcmansion every night. Unfortunately, I expect employers to continue devaluing their workers in the forseeable future.
My dad said gun shows.He gifted it to me years ago and I’m looking for 2 for my daughters.He got mine at a gun store in Indiana.
Ooooo, sounds like my type of ortection plan. Vances???
It looks sort of like a cattle prod,but much lighter.It converts 2-9v batteries into 230,000 volts of electricity.Not enough to kill someone,but enough time to escape the situation.
wow that sounds sort of like a cattle prong.
I have a stun stick too.It’s like a taser,but you don’t have to shoot it at your attacker.It looks like an umbrella ,but is electrified(upon depressing a button) half way up it,so that you’re attacker can’t grab it from your hand.It’s good for places where guns(legally registered)are inappropriate.
I completely agree with arming yourself! I purchased a firearm for myself before x-mas and until I get my ccw I carry mase in my purse and a baseball bat in my car! You can never be too safe!
I know thats right!!
Shudder! My youngest works at a gas station/carry out,that’s why I’m for arming onesself.Especially if you are a woman,these thugs we are no match for them physically,so they target us.
I told my daughter if she gets robbed to ask if he wants her to bag that up for him! And never allow yourself to be taken/kidnapped,no matter what-do not get in their car!
