Radio Hosts Taunted With Death Threats Over Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

Yeah Joe. That's exactly how it works - on an episode of Night Rider.

Haywood, think about the order of events.

You would brandish your weapon only after the attacker made his intentions clear.

If you were not brandishing a weapon, an attacker would have no reason to attack you from behind. Once his attack commenced, you then draw your weapon and (hopefully) deter further assault by the attacker.

Otherwise, just shoot the bastard.

Given the supposed threats to Cassell, wonder if Jimmy bothered to run this by Jonathan before posting the image here?

Well that's pretty much the opposite of what you said in the last post.

That's why the idea is for a CONCEALED weapon. The attacker doesn't know if you are armed or not...or if anyone else in the room is armed. As a result, the mere presents of the concealed carry law has been shown to be a deterrent.

"Often the mere presence of a firearm is enough to dissuade even the most aggravated antagonist to refrain from such behavior, at least long enough for the police to intervene."

Or at least enough to get them to realize they should attack from behind.

I wonder if Cassell and Rollins have bothered to obtain a CWP permit. It certainly wouldn't hurt to go that extra step and protect each of these individuals and their respective families.

Of course a CWP can't help you against a bomb threat or some other cowardly attack, but it certainly can assist when someone directly threatens. Often the mere presence of a firearm is enough to dissuade even the most aggravated antagonist to refrain from such behavior, at least long enough for the police to intervene.
