Our Shoot First Law

[detroiter]

I live 20 minutes from the Detroit-Windsor border. I spend quite alot of time in Windsor and it truely is like what you say ChrisJ, a massive difference, seperated literally
by a river.

I always have admired and admittingly a bit jealous when I look at Windsor from the Detroit side, how nice and clean it is over there. And people are ACTIVE! Tons of people running along the waterfront and enjoying hanging out eating lunch, etc.

When I'm in Windsor and look at Detroit, it's like a ghost town except for the homeless that live in Hart Plaza. The city looks like a hell hole, aftermath of a mass exodus.


Detroit is a whole another world though compared to Windsor or Ontario, criminally speaking. I hate talking about Detroit in negative light because their truely is alot of nice things in and around the metro area, but alot of the city itself should be nuked off the map.

In a place like Detroit, thank God that gun and weapon laws are allowed. Because you know what happens when they take away weapons from the people? Criminals don't play by the rules, so who do you think still does have weapons? If guns and weapons were banned here, criminals would run rampant because they know 9 out of 10 people don't have a single thing to fight back with. I myself carry a knife on me and would never, ever use it to hurt someone or intimidate them with it. But it's there incase I need it, God forbid. People can do what they want but I'd rather be safe than sorry.


If I recall correctly, some places like Texas even have open carry laws. Meaning, you'll see people walking down the street
or in a store with a revolver/pistol on their hips or shoulder in plain sight. That would kind of weird me out because Michigan
doesn't have that, just CCW types of laws.
