- From The "Guns Don't Kill People" File

From the UK where guns have been banned for decades, comes this chilling tale:

Father, 56, fighting for life after being stabbed trying to shield dying son from frenzied attack by hoodie gang outside pub.

For the record, in the British press "Youths" typically means Muslims. As is the case with the intentionally vague US press, I have no idea if that's actually the case here.

Ok you win.Time for that weekend course for conceal and carry.I think its Hell that says he is waiting for the day when the attackers actually are ducking bullets and see how brave they are then.I know its Britain but until there are instant repercussions it wont stop. I am sure in the old days a few people "swung" on the end of a rope who were innocent of horse theiving but you gotta do something to make em think there is a downside.Its sorta like what Tom said bout the "wolves" getin a piece of jaime dimons ass..Its called risk for a reason and it can have a downside.

Tom had an excellent overview of handgun choice that bears another read. Keep in mind, your weapon is only good when you actually carry. Doesn't do a damn bit of good if it's in your car. Make your choice of weapon, practice frequently. You never know when you might need it. As for me, I'd choose to go down swinging.

From the story: "There were about 20 young black guys all with their hoods up armed with sticks and bats and knives. They just ran in the pub and started trying to attack people."

In UK usage that would be Afro-Caribbeans.
