Reply to comment by Amon213 in Woman Followed Into Manhattan Building, Dragged Out of Elevator in Late-Night Rape: Cops by NetQuarterLatte

Idk I live in Georgia were we have full constitutional carry. I have 3 fire arms in my closet. I'm a guy though so I'm not too worried about someone following me into my apartment and raping me but my point is I've never killed anyone or even shot anyone.

Georgia has a higher violent and property crime rate per person than New York.

I'm not anti-gun, but to propose arming half the population isn't a solution.

Yeah the stats aren't easy to capture specific areas. Problem with that is Georgia's population density is so much lower that a "nice area" is out of the way. NYC, and any other densely populated city be it NYC or London, the "nice areas" aren't only prohibitively expensive, they're still not that far away from the not so nice areas.

My initial point being, arming half the population as the original commenter suggested, is really really stupid and incredibly dangerous.

From my experience 90% of people or so run at the sight of a weapon even when they have numbers.

I hope I don't have to find out but I've seen fire arms escalate situations also I think you only pull it out when it's time to shoot.
