Answer to the Question : Why Carry to the Store?

The Anti-Rights Cultists want to make people seem paranoid for exercising their right to carry firearms in public. They’ll often try mocking people with questions like “Why do you need a gun at a library” or “Why carry a firearm to a store like _____(fill in the blank)?”

FORT WORTH — Four men were behind bars Thursday, suspected in 17 robberies of Fort Worth businesses over a one-month span, police officials said.

….

The robberies began Dec. 2 with the one at the Family Dollar store at 2606 Hemphill Street. In the weeks that followed, police believe the men robbed several other businesses in the city — sometimes two in one day — including GameStop, Metro PCS stores and fast-food restaurants like Subway and Sonic.

Shortly afterward, patrol officers tracked three of the suspects to a convenience store at East Berry Street and South Riverside Drive, Loughman said.

17 Robberies at stores like GameStop, Metro PCS, Subway, Sonic, Family Dollar  — places like the ones I’ve been to often. Gee, if there is a possibility criminals will be robbing the place; isn’t that a good reason to carry a firearm?

These thugs do prey on other people also answer another question; “Why do you need more then X number of rounds?”

“They were all there for some of the robberies and on others, only two or three would participate,” said robbery Sgt. Joe Loughman.

While the anti-rights cultists may believe it is better to allow such evil and anti-social behavior to go unchallenged; I disagree.

For too long we’ve tolerated thugs hurting others — think of how many families were impacted by 17 robberies — isn’t it time we started making it not only unacceptable for such crimes but dangerous for the criminals?

So I’ll end with a question to the anti-rights cultists; if you don’t want people to carry firearms in public; how do you propose to stop thugs from committing crimes?
