It doesn't happen in C/C states

I live in Alaska...we don't even need a C/C permit to Conceal and carry! As cliche as it sounds..."An armed society is a polite society!"
Good Lord! What kind of world has this turned in to? BS....someone takes something of mine, a friends...or even someone close to me in a coffee shop (this situation)...I, and...I truly believe, MOST of the folks I hang around would give chase! Ridiculous to let someone just take your stuff...I understand, in some situations...it's best to back down...but not this type of situation. A lady, sipping a java...innocently hanging out and then robbed in a public place..>BS! Everyone of those coffee sipping yahoos ought to get up off their lazy arse and beat the living CRAP out of that douche bag. Nothing worse than a thief, liar or a cheat....they deserve EVERYTHING they receive and I would not choose to live in a place that saw it the other way around...
Not where I live! In Alaska, we can absolutely protect our property...our person, and/or someone else's person and property. Period. The thief has no rights, as soon as he's seen thieving, he may be shot on sight....if he's hurting someone...same thing. I don't see a difference...stealing from someone hurts a hell of a lot worse than a physical punch IMHO.
Those of you passive folk...I urge you to re-think your position. There is no reason you can't help someone in trouble...someone being robbed, someone being hurt, raped, beat, etc. IMHO, that's one thing terribly wrong with today's society....people that look the other way and don't help their neighbor. Again, in my opinion....those of you that would do that are not much higher up the social ladder than the thief him/herself. Sorry...but I feel VERY strongly about this...and along with Alaska...I think Texas feels the same
If your community feels differently, you should stand up and get the law changed....again, in my very humble opinion!
