    It’s so obvious that Democrats want to disarm Americans. That’s a major step to gaining complete control over the citizens.
    At this point they couldn’t care less about the constitution, and as long as the citizens allow it they will slowly take away your constitutionally given rights.
    Unless of coarse they get control of the White House, then you’ll see your rights disappear much quicker.

    The law says the following, “Commencing January 1, 2018, a resident of California shall not bring or transport into the state any ammunition that he or she purchased or otherwise obtained from outside of this state unless he or she first has that ammunition delivered to a licensed ammunition vendor for delivery to that resident pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 30312.”

    Did I read your question correctly? 4 criminals break into this mans home, and he stops what could have been a horrific crime with a legally obtained firearm, and your question is “How do you know they were illegals?”
    Man if anyone doubts this country is in serious trouble, just pay attention to what people have to say.

    But you could just break that law and what are they going to do? I think people should break unjust laws to the point where it overwhelms the state. That's how we fight for our rights. Civil disobedience. There's a time and a place for it now is the time California is the place.

    Well California is still part of the United States, and just because they think they can get away with this kind of crap means they should be shown they can't.

    If they proposed secession from the states I would support it but they don't want that, so they should be broken. If we tolerate restrictions on our rights even in the land of fruits and nuts, we're compromising.

    To be honest I seriously doubt the entire story. That being said, it's telling that you're upset over the question.

    Most commonly all one needs to do is get their hands on a maintenance key which is carried by most of the employees, once someone has a copy of that key they have access to all the units in the complex.

    Another method though a bit more complex is to pull the cylinder from one of the door locks, read the pinning and deduct the issued apartment key from the pinning, the pinning that remains is the master pinning and that can be used to punch a master key that will open all of the locks in the complex.

    Been there done that before.

    Way back when I rented I re-pinned the locks without asking for permission, never had anyone complain either.

    What good is a gun without ammo? What good is ammo if they can't hit a target? The cost of ammo is more than the cost of the gun. Are you a gun owner?

    The cost of ammo is more than the cost of the gun? Huh? Are you buying diamond encrusted ammo?
    Yes, I am a gun owner.

    If you are spending more on the gun than ammo, you aren't shooting enough. What good is a gun if you can't hit what you're aiming for?

    Except the avg person isn’t going to the range working on getting tight groupings. I have a friend who can’t hit the side of a barn when shooting yet he carries (very scary). I’m quite certain he’s not the only person who carries that is that bad with accuracy. And for many people just having the gun in the home to scare off someone is enough.

    I shoot along side law enforcement and most of them are just middle of the road shooters. "just having a gun to scare them off" is dangerous. When you aim a gun at someone, you trigger their fight or flight reaction. Bad idea.

    Agreed it’s a bad idea. I’ve told my friend he should NOT carry until he gets better with his gun. He will end up killing an innocent bystander. He really is that bad. At 10 yards he couldn’t hit the target...at all. Scary bad.

    Some people buy really good firearms. Like I do.

    Also, if you get a decent .22, it may take a long time to shoot past the sale price if the firearm.

    So glad my brother, who is largely anti-gun, had the sense to buy a Ruger .45 and a 12 gauge pump before the panic buyers set in. Now folks who are shopping for guns are having to buy whatever platform the store they are buying from still has ammo for.

    Lots of people are passing on buying 9mm Berettas police trade-ins to buy .410 break over shotguns because the store only has .410 ammo left.

    Sad.

    When the packs of jail-birds and 'home-invaders' kick in these libs' front doors, they can always sing 'em a chorus of "Kumbaya"...!

    True, but if you shoot someone with a .22, you can really piss them off! :p

    Ronald Regan stated being shot by a .22 hurt a lot, but it didn't kill him, his press secretary James Brady didn't fare so well having taken a shot to the head, but that didn't keep his wife Sarah from wheeling him around the country as a poster boy to raise funds for her anti-gun organization, Handgun Control Incorporated.

    At 10 yards that isn't a self defense shot, I'll bet at 1 yard he can hit his target, as can most LEO's.

    Reagan was shot with Devastator ammo that did not explode. He was very lucky.

    Look into something like a Ruger LCP-2, pistol caliber .380 ACP... very inexpensive. It is quite small, and weighs less than 11 ounces, but has "6+1" ammo capacity. Load it with a powerful cartridge, like Remington Ultimate Defense, 120-grain JHP.

    Get a Concealed Carry Permit (unless you live in some "Kumbaya"-singing part of the U. S. that doesn't allow them).

    Always obey the law! Protect yourself and your loved ones, but don't ever take it out unless you mean to USE it!
