Is there a correlation between state with no CCW permit and high crime?


Doug Zellmer of Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers posted a story on July 27th titled "Well-wishers aid Oshkosh boy whose lemonade stand was robbed". When you run through the story you may think that this was just some young punks robbing another kid trying to raise money for a vacation and to buy his mom a birthday present. The thugs punched the young entrepreneur in the stomach and took the $20.


Well go out and check the Wisconsin gun laws and you find that there is no CCW permits allowed. If I was a crook I would move to Wisconsin as the entire state is a "Gun Free Zone". If I was a resident of Wisconsin, I would move to one of the 37 states that allow the state's citizen to protect themselves.

States takiing on the illegal question will have short term issues, but will prevail.

With the new laws that are affecting illegal aliens kick into effect there are several negative things that will impact our country. However the positive end result will out weigh the short-term problems. We just need to prepare for the short-term problems and plan for the long-term survival of our country.

Two examples of short term problems:
1: I have been visiting with local law enforcement and they have indicated that there is a rash or burglaries and crimes that are not being reported. The violent illegal aliens are preying on those illegal aliens trying to work and earn money. As many can not get bank accounts they bring home weekly pay in cash. This is an increase in cash and the inability to call for help is a recipe for disaster for many illegal communities. Rape, robbery and other crimes are up in those communities and are not being reported.
2: Mary Lou Pickel of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a report saying that business catering to illegal aliens will loose significant business. She gives a car dealer as one example, explaining that the dealer used to sell 15 trucks a week and is now down to 3. This is because of the Georgia Law restricting the registration of a vehicle onlyto people that can get a Georgia drivers license. "
Both of these are just indicators. Taken by themselves they do not mean the "sky is falling". However, they do show that we are in for a change in our society. When there are changes of this magnitude there will be strife on both sides. The question we need to ask our selves is will you be able to defend your family when the social strife turns in to riots near your home? We have seen this over such things like the "OJ Simpson Trial". What do you think will happen when the illegal aliens can not get food or are tired of being preyed upon by their own.
We have asked this many times: "Can you take care of your family for 72 Hours; 3 Months; 6months or 1 year with out government help?" Each one of these requires different resources.

Being “Situationally Aware” is not enough; you must have the desire to help others.


We have been talking about going through our daily lives with being “Situationally Aware”. This is defined by several authors as having the ability to watch what is going on in your surroundings and have a plan should something transpire. David Kenik wrote a book called “Armed Response”. After reading the book I understand that I am one of those that watch in a relaxed alert state, rather than the type that goes through life totally unprepared. The book helps explain how to become more prepared to defend your loved ones.
There is one part missing from just going around your daily chores and being “Situationally Aware”, and that is the attitude or desire to protect yourself or your loved ones from attacks. This attitude of a selfless desire to protect your loved ones can be seen in several news stories that have just happened in the last few weeks. In Kingstown, N.C. a 5-year-old boy grabbed a rabid fox by the neck and pinned it to the ground during a family cookout, protecting six other children before his stepfather could kill the animal. He was quoted as saying “I wanted to protect my little brother.” This little boy is truly a hero.
Another prime example of this quick thinking selfless behavior happened in Scotland by a cab driver. He is pictured holding the ticket he got after the terror attack. As he was driving up to the airport to drop his fare off, he noticed the two terrorists trying to blow up the airport. He yells to his fare to run for her life and he jumps into the battle. The following are quotes from his account to the Daily Record in Scotland:
"It was obvious the driver wanted into the boot of the Jeep for something and I was worried about what it was. I thought it must be a gun."He was going crazy, just lashing out at everyone and babbling p*sh in a foreign language the whole time."I've heard people say since that he was shouting 'Allah!' but I didn't hear that. It just sounded like a lot of c**p to me."I ran for the guy and punched him twice in the face with pretty good right hooks."Then I kicked him with full force right in the balls but he didn't go down. He just kept on babbling his rubbish."I couldn't believe that he was still standing. I know I would have been floored by that kind of kick."
Alex McIlveen the cab driver is also a true hero. He threw himself into the battle and injured himself saving others. Had the Islamic Terrorist made it into the airport un-checked hundreds may have died that day.
You may never know how you will react when someone else’s life is on the line. Now is the time to think about how you will react and what you will do rather than waiting until it is thrust upon you for a decision. Several disastrous situations have already been tossed in my path, and it is obvious that being “Situationally Aware” is not enough. In one of the disasters along my path, another person who could have helped the rape victim almost ran me over trying to get away from the situation. We were able to apprehend the rapist and testify against him in court. He was found guilty and went to jail. You must have the desire to help others or being “Situationally Aware” is utterly worthless. Lets all band together as Americans to help each other as the bad guys and Islamic Terrorists are only gearing up. We can stand against them with the selfless acts of bravery like the cab driver and the 5 year old saving his brother.
