    Default Really? Does ANYBODY carry around here?

    Man accused of fatal shooting, home invasions, carjackings, crashes around Denver, Aurora

    https://www.thedenverchannel.com/new...-denver-aurora

    In a span of 70 minutes, a single perp committed:

    1 Murder
    1 Attempted Murder
    2 Robberies
    3 Home Invasions
    5 Car Jackings

    (My totals may be a bit off due to overlapping crimes)

    Why didn't SOMEBODY shoot him?

    Good Grief!

    Wow!

    APD said they believe the suspect then broke into two homes. The first was along the 1200 block of S. Memphis Street

    Dad's house was on the corner of that block.

    I am very glad he's not around to see the increase in crime in that area.

    Wow, ambitious. He'd be more common if the left gets their way w/gun legislation.

    The apartments mentioned have always been a shithole. We used to buy pot from a guy there in the late 80's and it was rough then. Expect the cops every Friday and Saturday nights.

    There was government housing a block or so to the east and that was an area to avoid. There were whispers of gangs controlling it.

    I went to Jewell Elementary and Gateway High schools, so I knew the area very well.

    Sad to see the decline. It seems something bad goes down at least monthly in that area.

    We moved near Mississippi and Chambers right before I started senior in high school. I got lucky and went to old school, because I was a senior. Or I would had to go to Gateway.

    I carried all day and I'm currently in one of the most remote areas of Colorado. Biggest threats are thieves, poachers, arrogant ranchers and mountain lions, not necessarily in that order.

    Fwiw, I always carry in Denver.

    The tread title is what I asked myself when the Boulder King Soopers shooting that killed ten people happened. I thought of the many times that I shopped there, and the more regular shopping there by friends and family. And, what if I had been there at that time, in the right time and place? You never know. I could have been a victim of the perp, or even of the prosecutors.

    Of note is that the Dems controlling the Colorado legislature promptly passed a law allowing any governing body from counties, municipalities and special districts to outlaw concealed carry and ensure that all citizens under their jurisdiction would be potential victims.

    I thought for sure by now we would have seen significant activity in that area. I wonder if the Hurley event threw some cold water on that idea- something did.

    Maybe so but I wouldn't expect Dem politicos to view that young man's actions as widely known enough to be politically important, or as heroic and tragic as they really were.

    The clock is ticking on a whole lot of bad, unconstitutional stuff yet to come from the Colorado legislature and their minions in minorly governments.
