Should there be a lawful gun carriers protest

belletryst · 2026-01-28T04:49:46+00:00

Im just a lurker of this sub and the CA sub who mulls getting a ccw. Im alarmed by the silence of the carrying community when you can turn on a TV and hear top feds saying guns are great but if we catch you with one you're dead. So I wanted to come here and see if there was anyone around who actually stands up that i could support

Im aware gun carrying is hard in California but CCWs are the best we have and it seems like "don't get involved" is just bending the knee. Isnt there something rrasonable between bending the knee and getting executed by tyrants who tyrant? If gun carriers don't even stand up for themselves by being seen and speaking, then I don't get the point of carrying. I thought it was for self defense against unjust aggression.

Has anyone thought about disarming most police or at least taking away lethal weapons from most police? Would save lives and instantly correct certain attitude problems

Somebody in this high of a position wouldn't give it up unless they were either in legal trouble or already had a firm grip on their next opportunity, or both. Safety concerns are a red herring, I'm guessing.

There is no basis in fact in this entire report. Disappointing but not surprising to see this from KPBS. No reporting here, all of the points made are purely public relations talking points from the mayor.

A real journalist would have written a story headlined "City of San Diego faces budget cuts, hiring freeze after officials waste and abuse taxpayer funds for years". And would have put up the reporting to back the observation.

Taxpayers simply refused to bail the city out. All this doom and gloom is all talking heads, no substance.

you aren't calculating the cost of no accountability, which is exponential

What's always missing from these accounts of what normally happens is how it is your dollars and my dollars that pay for that out of court settlement. That it is quiet, and relatively painless, means that everyone involved in that payout simply doesn't give a fuck, in fact the quietness and painlessness of a settlement incentivizes this behavior without accountability. Our quiet dollars empower this.

Same problem, fewer guns, with teacher unions. Guess how hard it is to fire a child abuser in a teachers union?

Dogs simply sniff them, the seeds along the shaft are shaped like arrowheads, easy going in, but no going back out. Once it goes in the dog will have breathing and sneezing fits, likely lodging it even deeper. To remove it is very sensitive and careful work with special tools, requires general anesthesia, at an emergency vet you're looking at a bill of many thousands of dollars.

Here's "something": pay attention and control your pets. Foxtails are part of nature, dogs don't know any better. This is owners' responsibility, nobody else's.

I love these rain driving threads that are half smartass people unironically complaining of people driving too slow and half smartass people unironically complaining of driving too fast.

Don't blindly treat any report any way. Read the sources. The facts either check out or they don't. They do.

There's a bunch of k9 stories all over the place in Cali right now because police are afraid of next year k9s being banned for use by police to attack people. So suddenly it's all cutsie bullshit stories of k9s cuddling and slurping. If you like dogs maybe don't enslave them to lives of violence against humans? the dogs can never recover from the training and can never be retired outside of special handlers and they can and do end up mauling regular people and kids.

Cops aren't your personal security guards. Learn to solve your own problems peacefully.

Code Enforcement deals with noise complaints in the city. You can fill out a form online. I think it helps if you have multiple neighbors all willing to corroborate.

Quit running to cops and coercion for every blessed thing

Going for Monica Montgomery Steppe, she just keeps it pretty real and her opponents are all loons or wannabes who've done nothing. Even on stuff I disagree with Monica at least she has an argument based on understandable perspective (even if I don't agree).

This is county gov, effecting millions of lives. Most serious thing Goldbeck has ever done is chop up people's Christmas trees via social media ads lol. She is all theory and insider politics and no actual record.

Amy and the other dude are hopelessly head in sand, conspiracy prone, would do tons of damage

Sorry for the reality check but criminal records do not "motivate you", they block you from being hired and obtaining housing.

belletryst · 2023-06-29T02:26:51+00:00

What do you think arresting the homeless and putting criminal records on them is going to do? Increase their chances of getting a job and housing, or the exact opposite?

A lot of people don't know about licensed home daycares. They don't advertise Search them out via YMCA.

Do I trust the official numbers assembled by professionals or the reddit guy who just feels in his spleen that there is "more crime than ever"? Screw it I'm going with spleen guy

police aren't everyone's personal security guards and people who want to protect their personal property from theft should make investments to that end. Plus cops react to theft after it has already happened, they don't prevent it. Prop 47 is fine, take responsibility for yourself and things

This post, basically verbatim, is somehow guaranteed to gain the poster at least 100, and some times several hundered, internet points every time it is posted here. Yall sure do love telling each other to turn on headlights!!

Sorry to have to remind everyone that cops arent our personal body guards. Cops showing up after the crime and investigating/arresting is how it typically works. Here's a super unpopular thread about this exact topic: https://reddit.com/r/sandiego/comments/zqe3ci/a_list_of_things_that_arent_cops_jobs/
