- There were two carjackinnng attempts in Boston on the same day a few weeks
- ago. In one attempt, the driver was kidnapped (for a short period of
- time, since the carjacker drove off with her until wrecking the car). The
- other carjacking was aborted when the driver pulled his licensed firearm
- and held the felon for police.

- A ban on the availability of armed self defense WILL keep me from having
- emergency safety rescue equipment available when I need it. It will NOT
- keep agressors against me from having guns though.

- ps: Word is that Floridian crooks are now targetting out of state
- cars, since they know that only in state residents can obtain
- gun carry permits.
