Detroit’s crime is bad, but it’s not as bad as it was before the new Police Chief came to town and told residents to empower themselves from crime by buying a gun and learning how to use it.

 

Packing heat in Detroit: Motown residents answer police chief’s call to arms

(FoxNews) – Detroit resident Darrell Standberry doesn’t navigate streets of the Motor City without his licensed handgun, and it already has saved his life once.

“I never leave home without my weapon,” he said. “You never know when or what you’ll encounter.”

It was 2011, when Standberry stopped at a gas station on Six Mile Road after attending his son’s football practice.

…“I saw him pulling out his gun to shoot me,” Standberry recalled. “So I pulled my gun out and shot him.”

The shot went through the windshield and hit its target, a criminal with a long record who made a short-lived getaway before crashing into a tree and dying.  Standberry’s claim of self-defense was never questioned by local cops.

  1. Sometimes a man’s got to do what man’s got to do. Applies to ladies also.

    The Police Chief’s call to arms must be a strong encouragement to the local population.
