On Wednesday night, the mayor of Madisonville, LA (a small sleepy town north of New Orleans) was caught from behind while closing his restaraunt, seriously beaten, and robbed less than 500 feet from the local police station. While he was on the ground bleeding, he dialled 911 for help on his cell phone. He is still in the hospital, had to have 14 pins put in his skull, and received some bad occular and mouth injuries.
I live less than 15 miles from there and know this man well. I can tell you for certain that our small "bed & breakfast" little towns have been overrun by displaced refuse seeking higher ground and fresh places to setup shop. It is VERY noticable, and most folks around here have been in a kind of denial about that fact.
While I have carried my CCWP since the law here was enacted, I have been reluctant to open carry. Just felt like it was screaming "Here I am, and I'm armed. Look at me." to the whole world.
Ok. I've had my epiphany. Time to do that kind of screaming. Maybe the scum will get the message load and clear that we aren't here for their consumption.
