1. I'm glad Mr. Sanchez will make it

Although knowing who and why would add something to the discussion.

2. The idea of a "safe part of town" blown again.

Our office is literally next door to the county Sheriff's personal residence, and maybe 50 yards from the police station and courthouse. Police officers, sheriff's deputies and attorneys spend all day walking up and down the alley attached to our parking area. Our secretary had an in-broad-daylight-smash-your-window-with-a-brick-and-steal-your-purse-out-of-your-car style theft. Since the brick went the whole way through the car and left considerable damage on the interior door panel on the opposite side....the perpetrator clearly didn't care all that much about stealth.

Luckily, most criminals are not what one would call "gifted," and luck eventually runs out.

6. A drive-by posting for a drive-by shooting.

I reject your attempt to make me feel guilty for owning and carrying guns.

9. If you actually believe you have ESP, I must strongly encourage you not to indulge

that belief while you are carrying a loaded firearm

10. The purpose of you post was obvious.

You have a history of numerous anti-gun posts. That is your right.

You obviously want guns extremely restricted, if not outlawed. The purpose of your post was to show guns in a bad light.

You were obviously trying to play guilt-by-association, trying to cast all gun owners as being guilty of the crimes of a few, likely illegal, gun owners.

Doesn't take ESP to see the obvious.

8. And people wonder why I want the right to carry to my polling place.

Trouble never makes an appointment...

11. It's illegal where you are?

Seems like kind of a silly restriction. This isn't Iraq, after all.

12. Meh, cartel hit.

Nothing to see here folks.
