Well, it makes the part the gun covers pretty bulletproof.

Wow, didn’t realize that carrying a gun made you bulletproof. Who knew?

I’m a wuss; I would just record that noise and put it on my iPod-enabled clock radio.

since when is a year 9 days long? also, considering the population of all of NYC (around 8 mil) compared to that of the Mission (around 45k), our 4 shootings are pretty significant.

No joke, I dated someone who lived in the Excelsior and bought a shotgun just because he figured if anyone ever broke into his house, he’d just have to do the “CHK-CHK” cocking noise to send the invader running.

I’m mostly in this camp I guess, any shootings are a bad thing, but four shooting deaths in a year is really not that bad. To wit: there were 40 shootings last weekend in NYC.

The “interim” mayor and his city departments only care about rewarding the rich; reassurances otherwise are just “spin.”

You should probably all just move away. Unless of course you want to be the accidental victim of a drive by. Best to play it safe and go back from whence you came.

If you can’t handle city living, go back to Dustopolis, Pilgrim.
But here’s the deal; you’ll find that those toothless hillbillies you left behind are now a pack of violent meth addicts.

I don’t think deporting incompetent police officers would do much good, but I’d be willing to give it a try.

Ingleside doesn’t actually have enough cops – they’re perpetually complaining they’re understaffed. That’s part of what makes the whole thing so ridiculous.

(Actually, I haven’t heard them complain about understaffing in 6 months or so – maybe they got a bunch more people. I sort of doubt it, though.)
