So, Lemme Get This Straight...

Even though the cops can't protect you, DON'T buy guns to protect yourself...because they could get stolen.

A city alderman frustrated with the police response to rising crime called Tuesday on residents to arm themselves to protect their lives and property.

...Chief Dan Isom told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he understands Troupe's frustration but doesn't support citizens arming themselves.

Carrying guns, he said, is not a "recipe for a less violent community."

Mayor Francis Slay wrote in his blog Tuesday that some of the most violent crimes in Troupe's ward are committed with guns stolen from law-abiding citizens.


Alrighty, then. "Roll over and die".

Got it.

Make the mayor and the police chief give up their bodyguards then see how cavalier they are about concealed carry.

Some of the most violent crimes against lawful citizens were aborted by....law abiding citizens with the ability to protect themselves, not by the police.
