Carrying a “loaded forearm”?
Hehehe.
Some people say they feel safer with loaded firearms being carried by everybody.
Not me but it is a very popular opinion in the south.
You’re thinking Texas or Idaho and Arizona. Or even parts of OR and northern CA. That mentality isn’t limited to the South.
Robert A. Heinlein — ‘An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.’
I don’t often carry, but when I do I carry “Mexican”.
Don’t do that with a Glock If you like your junk.
“Of Ferndale … ” 🙄
What’s his place of birth? Seems like people with Mexican names a getting arrested with more violent crimes. Just my opinio
You may be interested in the history of Mexico, especially as it relates to the history of California.
What you characterized as “Mexican names” are not historically unusual. There’s no reason to expect that a person with the last name “Lopez-Valverde” is a recent arrival in this state. Those are names that likely held substantial real estate through the Mexican-American war. Couple that with a century of immigration and integration and the idea that someone with those sorts of names is an immigrant is astonishingly ignorant for a resident of this part of the country
Good knowledge….
Blame Biden on that one. Allows all Mexican citizens to come on in or over, the borders are wide open. Allowing even those with ankle braces.,for anyone who doesn’t know, (that is on them for crimes they committed!!) OH, let’s not forget the Drug Fentanyl that they bring with them & all the other drugs,that are killing our youth!!!…gee, you think maybe that could be the reason!??
