CAIR and the New Black Panther Party are stirring up minorities intentionally along with Al Sharpton Barack Obama and Eric Holder.

Ferguson is becoming such a problem that the group Oath Keepers offered their services to Ferguson residents.

If I were a cop I go on strike. Heck of a way to treat people who place their lives on the line to protect citizens.

Who is CAIR? Is there an Old and New Black Panther Party?

That's exactly the point of carrying all the time. Yes, the Villages is very safe. Yes, we have one of the lowest crime rates in the country, but still things happen. If the chances of being accosted are .001% you might feel perfectly safe without a weapon until that .001% happens to you.

The only way to assure your safety in the event of the improbable happening is to arm yourself all the time.

I wonder if this question should be raised about people that have emergency weather radios and hurricane/tornado preparedness kits with food and water? Do they think that we're going to have a life threatening hurricane or tornado even though we have had one in the past thirty years?

Ask someone who has lived through a tornado if he protects himself in the event of another one. It seems that the odds of a tornado or hurricane destroying your home is probably about the same as you being attacked. Does that mean that you don't take precautions?

And what miniscule percent of all the guns in homes does that represent?

The one with the least amount of training and experience. That leaves me out.
