More victims fighting back against would-be robbers in Philadelphia, data shows
In just the first three months of this year, more people have been shot in defensive shootings in Philadelphia than in each of the last three entire years.6abc.com
Phuck around and find out in Philadelphia.
Good for them. Crime in Philadelphia has been out of control, I'm not at all surprised people are fighting back.
I don’t live in Philly anymore. Did my 10+ years there. Dealt with vandalism of my car and roommates being held up at gun point.I wouldn't advise you do it though.
Fighting back when the victim of gun crime, is the surest way to get killed.

No thanks.
If your* a criminal, according to the news story. You expect and want people to be a victim of crime by not fighting back, not surprised.
My college roommates were international students here on student Visas - they were from India and Zambia.Did your roommate fight back
If not, why not ?

No, they did not "fight back". They were 18-20 years old young women and the largest of which likely weighed in at about 110lbs soaking wet. How exactly would you have liked them to "fight back" against an armed robber?

No, I'm suggesting that they were international students, newly in the United States, on student visas. They weren't eligible at the time to carry a gun legally in the US.And that's relevant in what way ?
Are you suggesting that people from third world countries lack the courage of Americans ?
*You are
And if you're a law abiding person, you expect not to be a victim of an armed assailant or active shooter.
Why should people live under the shadow of guns ?

FWIW - both are now US Citizens and have concealed carry permits.
A mandatory 10-YEAR prison sentence if you get caught with a gun in Philly would be quite effective too.
A mandatory 30-YEAR prison term if you discharge a firearm in Philly should also be highly effective..
Just have to be a complete hypocrite, in some cases.So you can only fight back if you have a gun ?
So if the same situation arises, we can confidently assume they'll fight back now ?
FWIW, you don't need to be a citizen to have a CCW.

But it still happens.
Depends on the state.
My roommates were here on STUDENT VISAS.Not very often in the UK or Japan
I wonder why that is ?
Are the British and Japanese just better people than Americans ?
What states require CCW holders to be citizens ?
Dead home invaders never commit crimes again. Guaranteed.More victims fighting back against would-be robbers in Philadelphia, data shows

Student visa holders are not allowed to purchase a gun except for in very rare circumstances. If you can't own a gun, you can't have a concealed carry permit.
