There are some who would say that when a robber breaks into your house, that you should just let them take your stuff. Gun Shy doesn't agree and here is why. There are some who would say that they are not really bad people, but this is just their way to cry out for help, and it is really not the fault of the poor violent offenders that they do these troubling things. After all, times are tough, and they have some other issues to contend with. Well, Gun Shy has an opinion on this as well.

The only solution for this problem is if the law abiding citizens help to supplement their diet liberally with the mineral that they are lacking....which is lead.

To all violent assailants who would think to do evil to law abiding citizens:

It is time to review the Castle Doctrine, paying special attention to the Stand Your Ground clause, or even better yet, change your lifestyle before the last thing you see is this.
