[Ricochet]

My wife was recently held up at her bank. The guy only handed a note (which is how 90% of these go), but it said he had a gun on it. My wife has been working in a bank for nearly a decade now, and they go through very specific robbery training every three months. She handled the situation well and the guy is now behind bars. However, every time a guy walks into her bank now wearing a baseball cap, a hood, looks suspicious, or even remotely like the guy who robbed her, her heart skips a few beats. My wife is a tough girl, but that'll effect her for the rest of her life because of real fear.

On the other hand I'd rather be shot to death by a real gun, than stabbed to death or bludgeoned to death. But the truth is that technically carrying a firearm depending on the circumstances is not illegal. In this case though they could've hit these ass-clowns with mischief, reckless endangerment, brandishing a weapon, etc. There are a lot of creative laws to nail people like this. Alas our system believes in tolerance, understanding, and second chances. Instead of making some hard examples out of a few to deter the many, our streets are filled with half-retards who know they won't get in any real trouble. Until it's too late anyways and some kid is missing an eye. Maybe your 4 year old son playing at the park because a group of shit-heads like this were shooting these things nearby. At least they got away with it, so the proper example has been set... NOT!
