I live in south Sacramento on the southern boundry and I know this area though it is more north of me. Not a good place in general to be walking around. I have said in the past that I don't wish to live in a society where I have to carry a concealed weapon just to feel safe, but times are changing. The sheriff in this county is very anit-CCW. It is almost impossible to get a permit. Also they did not get any federal funding and the county will be laying off 192 deputies very shortly. So here we are being told we can not protect ourselves and the police are becoming more and more impotent especially since they could never provide any real immediate protection. I am getting to the point that this is enough, and I will do what ever is needed to protect me and mine. I have cleaned and organized my weapons closet and I am now considering what I need to start carrying with me for defensive protection beyond less than lethal. I am not of a survivalist mentality and this is not a political debate. It is a coming reality for me and I will be prepared.
