Guns and a Wreck
No update from me as my evening and writing time was taken up due to a wreck outside of my place that caused the front door to my apartment to be caved in. I will have more on that with pictures later on. Yet, a friend provided a link to the following story from the Milwaukee AM Radio Station News Radio 620 I thought would be an appropriate substitute. Tomorrow I will have my article up about oil production and you can read about the Wreck on the Writer’s Pen Blog.

An American town where everyone is REQUIRED to have guns... and they have almost no murders with guns
As far as I can tell, the liberal argument against concealed carry is an emotional one that boils down to:
More guns=bad!
More guns in the hands of criminals=bad!
More guns in the hands of law-abiding folks=not bad!
Here's a story that backs up my argument.
I ran across this interesting story Friday from Kennesaw Georgia. It starts out a typical, cookie-cutter crime story:
I ran across this interesting story Friday from Kennesaw Georgia. It starts out a typical, cookie-cutter crime story:
KENNESAW - The city on Wednesday recorded its first murder in more than two years when a man stabbed his father to death and attempted suicide, police said.
Around 6 p.m., officers from the Kennesaw Police Department responded to a call of a stabbing at a home on Confederate Trail. Upon arrival, the officers found two men lying unconscious on a bedroom floor.
The men were father and son, Robert Messina, 62, and Brian Messina, 33. Investigators say the elder Messina had been fatally stabbed several times with a knife.
The interesting stuff, as is often the case in MSM stories, is buried at the end.
Kennesaw mayor Leonard Church said he was taken aback when Police Chief Tim Callahan informed him of the murder.
"It was shocking," Church said. "It's unfortunate because of the situation and we feel for the victim."
Church attributes the city's low murder rate to two things.
About 30 years ago, Kennesaw passed an ordinance requiring every head of household to own a firearm. The law is not strictly enforced, but Church said knowing that law is on the books has likely kept many criminals from preying on families there.
"That law has absolutely something to do with the low crime," Church said. "It's that and a great police force."
Church said he could not estimate how many Kennesaw residents own a firearm because Cobb County issues firearms permits.
WHOAH! A town that REQUIRES every head of household to own a gun. And has required it for 30 years. And has almost no murders. And when it does have a murder, it's a guy who uses a knife. The police spokesman is even quoted as saying: "Any kind of homicide is a shock to us," Luther said. "It is not something we look forward to or plan for."
In other words, murder is so rare in this community, the POLICE DON'T EVEN PLAN FOR IT? I mean, think about that. The police don't even have a plan for it because they never suspect it will happen.
The last time Kennesaw had a murder was more than 2 years before. The killer used a bat.
Case closed.
In Kennesaw the 2 things liberals abhor are working: Guns and police. Go figure.
