I meant to post about this earlier. This morning on WPTF, I heard Mayor Meeker talking about fear in Raleigh since a woman was abducted from a parking garage in downtown. Hosts Rick and Donna Martinez mentioned that local convenience stores were selling out of alert whistles and pepper spray and other personal security devices.

Meeker said that whistles and other alert devices were fine, but that he would prefer people not buy pepper spray and other “weapons.” Only a far-gone “liberal” would think that calling something a weapon suffices as a slam-dunk argument against it.

Women have already figured out that the Second Amendment is for them, too ? and that a gun is a great equalizer against a bigger, stronger male predator. “Liberals” reflexively react against such an idea. But before this morning I’d never heard one get upset over the idea of pepper-packin’ mamas.
