Gun Control

JJ Husker said:
They could choose to play it safe, not place themselves in a dangerous situation and rely on the insurance company (that they should have carefully selected for such an eventuality). One situation is unexpectedly thrust upon them and one they have chosen to place themselves in harms way to defend their assets. Again, fine, but I wouldn’t do it with my business. I have confidence in my insurance and I don’t need to be playing hero for something that doesn’t need to be life threatening.

Surely you can see the difference?

There are many many more examples like this where it’s easy to say “well just rely on your insurance carrier that you carefully selected” yet the carefully selected insurance carrier pulls out some bulls#!t excuse not to pay and is wiling to fight the claimant while the claimant has limited to no money to fight for their claims.

Sure, that can happen. I guess it depends what some people value more. Their life and welfare and ability to continue to take care of their family or their business and inventory.

Like I said, I won’t fault them for trying to protect their business but it is not the choice I would make. I really wouldn’t have a problem shooting or killing someone who I thought was going to do me or my family bodily harm. Not so much though for broken windows or theft (and I despise thieves).

 
apparently the new gun laws in florida made the job for the police much more difficult

Measures used in previous years to screen people for weapons during the downtown Halloween celebration – including checkpoints and gun-sniffing dogs – were not possible this year because a 2023 state law allows most people to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, Smith said. “When the law changed, basically you can carry on a public street as long as you meet certain criteria,” he said.
