A South Carolina sheriff is making the extraordinary suggestion that local women arm themselves following the attempted rape of a woman at a local park, saying "you need to protect yourself."
"It just struck me wrong that we keep telling everyone 'trust us, trust us, trust us," but in reality, you need to protect yourself," Wright told FoxNews.com. "If you are not a convicted felon or someone who causes trouble or don't have any mental issues, buy a weapon to protect yourself and get some good training."
Since making the suggestion that women lawfully arm themselves, Wright said his office has received more than 200 phone calls supporting his stance. Only one didn't "praise" the call to action, he said.
Wright said he was "tired of looking at victims" of crimes whose perpetrators are arrested multiple times and are later released without significant jail time. Lance, for example, had been arrested more than 20 times, he said, including for offenses like rape, battery and resisting arrest. Wright characterized him as an "animal" during Monday's news conference.
In this household you are in fact " preaching to the choir "
We treat them ( handguns) like American Express travelers checks ----- WE NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM.....

See in the County of Crook in the state of ILLinOIZ you can't do that legaly, cause only the bad guyz get to play with gunz. If a citizen has one he can get in MEGA trouble. So out of fifty states guess how many are just like ILLinOIZ?

I thought about taking my son's bb gun out with me on occasion. I wonder if I could hit anything with it? Those little pellets are kind of small though. Also, it's not really good for carrying in your purse. I could be really dangerous with a gun I think.

The registration requirement was the central part of a strict gun law hastily passed by the City Council at the behest of then-Mayor Richard Daley last July, just four days after the U.S. Supreme Court effectively knocked down Chicago's 28-year-old handgun ban. Politically, at least, the city's gun-control regulations have been a central part of its public safety policy, and Daley stressed that it was essential to collect data on where gun owners live so that first responders know when they're approaching a location where weapons are present.

"Everybody on my block has been robbed but me," says Zamora, a longtime resident of Pilsen who works for the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation. "The gangbangers, they know I've got guns, and I don't get messed with."
But nearly a year later, only a fraction of city gun owners have signed up, and critics say the law is more about politics than sound policy.
Despite potential penalties of $5,000 in fines or 90 days in jail, the city's law appears to have little sway over those who've registered with the state to own or possess a firearm. Of the 116,173 Chicagoans who have FOID cards, only 2.7 percent have registered a gun with the city.
In fairness, not everyone with a FOID card actually owns a gun, and many Chicago gun-owners are exempt from city registration, including cops, security guards, correctional officers, active duty military, and rifle-owners who registered before the city law went into effect. City officials could not say how many gun-owners are exempt.
What a crock of B/S.............

Fact is the citizens of Ill cannot get a concealed pistol license unless they're cops or know someone in the government.It's the last state to prohibit "the right of the PEOPLE to bear arms"for self defense in public (outside of their home).They've only had the right to defend themselves legaly in their homes with a firearm for approximately 5 years.Obama voted against the new law,the Gov vetoed it,Obama voted against it again,legislature overode the veto and gave Illinoians their right to defend themselves in their homes with a firearm,nothing more!

In Looney California it's next to impossible to carry a gun even though the Constitution Guarantees the RIGHT!!! You cannot shoot an unarmed person in your home. He just might end up owning your home if he lives or his family will. You are not allowed to protect yourself at all outside your home.
There are literally Thousands of gun laws just in California. It's a criminal haven. Our jails are like barroom swinging doors. They let you out, you come back, out, back. You have to work your way up to the death penalty and that's not easy to do.People spend there whole lives trying to get on death row. It would be easier to climb the eiger sanction.
Woman need to put down the cell phones and empower themselves with a gun class. Fight the liberal left to get your rights sanctioned under the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!!!

Hey Dad, get YOUR facts straight, a Chicago inhabitant can purchase a weapon any time they wants at Cabelas in Rolling Meadows, but he/she/it must still go through a back ground check for $4.00.

The recording of "Over there.." is an interesting slice of historical, popular propaganda, but anyone who was taken-in, joined-up and ended up in the trenches found out it was anything but glorious. Those who still think there is glory in war need to read "All Quiet on the Western Front". And, if the shells and bullets weren't bad enough, more guys on both sides actually died of Influenza in 1918 than violence, Over There.
Interestingly, a more accurate translation of the original German title "Im Westen Nichts Neues" would be something like "Nothing New Out West". When the book was first recommended to me in high school, I figured it was about a lull in the war and not worth reading - If I had known what it was really about, I would have read it for sure, and my whole attitude about warfare would have changed, growing up in the Viet Nam era.
However, on the other hand, I think everyone has the right to defend themselves and if that means carrying a handgun, that's fine, but do it legally and get the best training you can.
It's a dangerous world out there, Over Here.

Walter Monroe Lance, 46, of Spartanburg, was charged Monday with kidnapping, first-degree criminal sexual conduct and grand larceny in connection with the attack. Lance was ordered held without bond, Wright said.
Wright suggested that had the unidentified victim been armed, perhaps with a .45-caliber handgun concealed in a fanny pack, she would have stood a better chance fighting off her attacker.
Not against guns, you want one get one but can somebody explain how the above woman is going to get her gun out of the fanny pack? Is the rapist going to wait while she fumbles with the zipper? Is she going to tell her attacker she has a gun and that's supposed to stop them? If she has the time to go into her fanny pack, doesn't she have time to RUN and start screaming? She was kidnapped, to me that means the attacker used force to grab her, doubt a gun in a fanny pack would have done anything but give the attacker a new weapon when he found it.
How about these women take self-defense courses. Two fingers to the eyes will stop a full grown man. I doubt a rapist wears a sports cup so a well placed foot in the crotch should bring a would be attacker up short. The side of the hand into the larynx works wonders. And the more training anyone takes, the better they get at it and it is totally legal and you don't need a background check, a lock box in your home and you still get to carry those cute little purses women seem to like.
But like I said, you want a gun, get one. I'm curious though, what will happen when women start shooting unarmed attackers?
Before the attackers come out of the woodwork, my post in no way is meant to demean women, so please, don't go there.

Your fingers aren't going to help you against an ARMED rapist. And sometimes, all kicking and punching them does is make them MORE angry and then they take it out on YOU. I say, you GO girls. I've never owned a gun myself, but I have been actually thinking about getting a handgun. I am a petite woman, so fighting back wouldn't be much of an option for someone like me. My boyfriend really wants me to get one too.

Thanks for a good laugh.
A 45-caliber handgun would not fit in a fanny-pack.
Carrying around such a big chunk of iron for years would be no inconvenience at all.
Not enough time to get it out.

i have to agree with this cop. how many rapist in the past have been executed? most of them have been repeat offenders. and the law with many corrupt judges have released these animals into the general public, h ell the real criminals dont even want them in their prison yards. these animals are a protected species in the prisons. YES women arm yourselfs and adminster street justice. this is what the cop is saying. if you gonna violated like those poor young couple in tennassee years ago you have to do what the cops and judges arent able to do. the tennassee couple where violated in unspeakable ways and dies a horrible death. the 4 animals who did this to them only got a few years on prison. the poor girls who lived for 4 days got violated in the worse horror movie ever created. and her attackers only got a few decads of jail to be released for good behavior. girls put a bullit is a saver alternative to jail. just remember what was dont to that girl in tennassee and it wont be to hard to pull that trigger. and remember that rapist isnt a person, just an animal.

I don't mean to sound sexist (this applies to men, too) but, if you've never handled guns before I strongly suggest pepper spray instead. If you do decide to get a gun, you need to practice, practice and practice regularly with it. Not just shooting at targets to improve your accuracy, but also being able to pull it from where you would normally carry it, (friggin C-cast censor!) co-ck it and engage the target in a few seconds. In a scenario like this, these actions are probably more important than accuracy.
Just my 2 cents.
