That's a real stretch even for you. Why don't you run for mayor and declare Pineville a sanctuary city? Or village or hamlet or whatever it is.
It doesn't, but there are ways to reduce murders. For example, Mollie Tibbetts would not have been brutally murdered if whats his name was not living in our country illegally.
Interesting. I run and the smallest gun i have is a Sig P238. Great little compact but i wouldn't run with it. Strapped would still be a little annoying i think. Pepper spray is interesting. I think that would be incredibly light and easy to strap on you. Now how about a Pepper Spray dispenser that looks like a compact gun that you have strapped. So it's a visual deterrent and has the spray....?
I went through pepper spray training as soon as I was old enough and still carry it. I live in CA....with kids...I'm not carrying my gun outside my home. Pepper spray is effective along with self-defense of a certain kind. Pretty much. I wouldn't run with a gun. And the truth is, when women buy guns for self-defense, it often does get used against them especially when in close quarters with a stronger male. If you have that gun, you have to be prepared to use it. There already is one of what you mention....
