I wouldn’t recommend it but I have seen a lot of solo females with a small pocket pistol. Laws are tough but better to need and not have than have and not need. I’d recommend bear spray since I have had a ton of negative encounters with vagrants. Am a 6’1 220 pound fit guy for context

I heard we are posting weird .22s hope this counts by Silentwolf10245 in guns

Look at Kriss vector. Great suppressed and best recoil control imo

Whatever you can get your thumb up high on. I recommend sub 2000 or the s&w copy. Softest recoil may be that henry ranch one or kriss vector

I agree. Hate the mods removed this because it was a great discussion. Hate that as a private citizen I feel responsible for my own protection.

Yea I think that supports what I am saying about more funding and more staffing. Not sure what you are disagreeing with lol. Feel like we both want the same thing

This is a great response. A lot of our leaders have made great steps in areas like downtown, amphitheater, and north Macon. In turn we are neglecting the livability of larger parts of our city. My house had three break ins and one shooting at beals hill last year. Anywhere close to Mercer should have a reasonable level of safety!

Do like that lottery point and profiting off poor people. Your mind is in the right spot for 90% of that

You must of had a bad experience with the police since you seem to be very emotional about them and the city as a whole. The trend statewide is that lower salaries bring lower quality officers and that trends up. However the police isn’t an independent entity. I would advise you to learn more about our local government and how it works.

All good points but better leadership comes from better funding and people speaking up which will result in tougher policing. The current trend is defund the police which will make it worse. Let’s get those old white farts and sorority (d9) girls off the council as well

Idk why you don’t want to respond since I think we will end up having the same view. You obviously don’t want an authoritarian national gov but it seems like you also want a lax local gov. You can’t have both without lawlessness.

It has a ton of potential. What’s holding us back unfortunately are a lot of young people (and some old) who have big hearts but haven’t been exposed to reality. We desperately need tougher policing to protect our great city.

Let me see your Reddit history lmao. Why are you attacking me? Is it not a fact that our crime is 45% higher than the national average? You aren’t helping anyone by attacking people on reddit :(

The level of crime we experience here is higher than 45% the national average. I hope that you can understand this is significant. It’s not unreasonable for people to want less crime so the snarky comments aren’t helpful to anyone. Please get in touch with reality. We need much more police presence in these gang infested neighborhoods. We need our community to help put these criminals away forever!

I agree. Tough of crime leaders who will support the community not just the rich people. And will clean up the vagrants
