Not to be a complete schmuck about it, but Glock makes a wonderful 'app' for that. Unfortunately, California systematically denies its citizens the right to lawfully carry firearms concealed - and in many cases denies them the right to own at all. I would think that a straightforward fix for the robberies would be to enable 'self-service' self-defense and get the laws around legal gun ownership changed.

- rdl 13y agoSan Mateo is sort of ok, for the Bay Area. You need "heightened good cause", but the standard isn't absurdly high.
- allochthon 13y agoA Glock would not have helped in my case, when five or six young men attacked me at close range (in Oakland), unless I was Chuck Norris and willing to throw away my own life as well as theirs. More police on the streets, and more effective followthrough after the fact, would have helped, though.
- lwhalen 13y agoSounds like a great case for standard-capacity magazines (instead of the neutered 8-rounders they want you to have). But that's just me being snarky :-) There's firearms classes out there that teach you how to effectively deal with multiple attackers, but in general it just plain sounds like you had a bad day coming your way. Sorry to hear that, and I hope karma catches up with your assailants sooner rather than later.
- allochthon 13y agoNo worries. It was just a bad day. :) To be honest, I feel sorry for those guys. They're throwing their lives away.
