In Minnesota, North Minneapolis is the area where blacks regularly kill other blacks. Children are killed by drive-by shooters. Recently, a family heard gunfire. As the mother and kids were in flight upstairs, a bullet pierced the wall of the house and struck a boy in the back of his head killing him instantly. As is customary, thereafter a community protest against guns and violence is held. Appropriate T-shirts are worn by the attendees. The appropriate politicians are there. The media gives a reasonable amount of coverage to the event. But, as these events occur, the blacks in the area reload their equalizers. And life goes on as usual, with white people being quietly grateful for the continued confinement of black violence by area and victims.

Generally, blacks, who constitute about 12% of the US population, commit violent crimes disproportionate to their representation in the general population. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/ucr http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/cr ... tbl43a.xls

As a white person, I never enter North Minneapolis. And, given their propensity toward criminal conduct, I’m very wary whenever I encounter any black teenagers or adults, male or female.

To my knowledge, neither President Obama nor Attorney General Holder have ever delivered a major speech regarding the criminal behavior in the “black community”.

If they don’t care, why should any white person care. Rather, the prudent white person will concentrate on his or her personal strategy for self-defense.

It is my thought that you are the last person in the world, who should ever be issued a permit to carry a concealed weapon. If a black person walked up to you, and did not look like you thought he should, he could get shot for trying to ask for directions. If he had a friend or two with him, he would surely get shot.

more generally the desire to get a concealed carry permit for reasons other than a clear job requirement should automatically disqualify someone from being able to get a concealed carry permit

i have not met a person with a concealed carry permit who did not have a major temper control problem

So you reject the right of self-defense and the means to secure the right? How do you justify your position.

You are mistaking cause and effect.
The primary cause of crime is deprivation and poverty. Black people are generally the most deprived and poor. They suffer so much prejudice that it becomes self fulfilling.
