That was awesomeI still remember watching that video from a few months ago where that older lady had a Hi-Point carbine and those punk-ass kids continued to kick the back door in, even after she told them to leave. Then you queue the Benny Hill closing music when shots rang out LOLOL
From the article:
According to a recent survey from Pew Research Center, 54 percent of African-American residents nationwide now see legal gun ownership as more likely to protect people than to put their safety at risk. That figure was up from 29 percent two years ago.
Not that I trust Pew as gospel... This is a great untapped constituency if they were told how the NRA helped found black charters to protect them from the KKK. Also, told we are not the boogieman but there to help protect them and help them protect themselves...
If only every LEO Chief from MD thought like this!
"Detroit Police Chief James Craig says legal gun ownership in his city can help stop crime."
Actually Pew tends to skew Democratic.
Detroit homicides: 179 YTD
Baltimore: 214 (215?). By the time you read this maybe 216 or 217.
Every? If even a handful of MD Police Chiefs felt like this we would be in decent shape.If only every LEO Chief from MD thought like this!

How many applicants for concealed carry are minority urbanites in B'more? I bet precious few. Yet, a huge constituency of law abiding B'more citizens probably have G&S but not the knowledge or means to make use of it. Even more might have handguns for home protection but FSA2013 made it too bureaucratic, expensive, and time consuming to get an HQL.
Agreed. A gun would definitely seem to be a necessary survival tool for those living in the crime ridden sections of Baltimore. It is that or choose to be a victim.If I was a Baltimore City resident unable to afford a HQL, and a legal handgun, I am sure I would have an illegal one. There is no sane way to live someplace that lawless unarmed.

Except that long gun open carry is illegal in Baltimore City since it predates statewide preemption.Unfortunately you are more likely to need the gun on the street than in your home.No need to do anything illegal.... A carbine is cash and carry at the gun shop. A Beretta CX4 Storm is what was recommended for home self defense while we were working on getting our HQL to buy the handguns. If you like the Beretta, CX4 Storm in 9 mm and get a 9 mm FS92 you can get that and the mags are usable in both. (The CX4 is adaptable to accept any full-size Beretta PX4, 90-series and 8000 series magazines (using optional adapters - in some cases, ours came ready for the M9A1 mags)) They sell a 30 rnd mag you can buy while you're visiting a free state (not in Maryland). I think they are also in 45 ACP as well.

P. S. I have a CX4 with lots of standard cap mags and it is pretty awesome.

Yes 9 mm and I have lots of 30 plus round mags. It came with two 15 rounds. Every other mag I have holds 17-35 rounds.FIFY
Did you buy the 9 mm version too?
