“It’s gotten to a point where residents feel insecure even going from their door to their car,” said resident Shirley Reitman. “A lot of residents are applying for a concealed carry weapon permit, even though that’s a great challenge in LA County.”

According to LA County Sheriff Alejandro Villanueva, the department has received 8,105 concealed carry weapon applications and approved 2,102 of them since he took office in December 2018, compared to his predecessor having issued 194 permits in four years.

“Even hardcore leftist Democrats who said to me in the past, ‘I’ll never own a gun’ are calling me asking about firearms,” said Joel Glucksman, a private security executive. “I’d say there has been an increase of 80 percent in the number of requests I’m getting this year.”

That trend increased last week, Glucksman said, after a beloved black philanthropist, Jacqueline Avant, was killed in her home.

“The killing of Avant shows that even having a security guard isn’t enough to deter someone,” said Mizrahie. The victim and her husband, legendary music executive Clarence Avant, had a private security guard on duty when she was killed around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 1.

Let me guess.

Maybe they should put Alec Baldwin in charge of the armed neighborhood watch?

The problem I see is a lot of amateurs not following up and getting training and experience. Same ignorant part of the population that elected the bastards that created the problem.

What's the saying? "A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged."

Not true at all, but I'm sure current events will have some effect on our political pendulum.

They're so proud of the number of permits they have issued. So - how many of them were issued to low-income inner city people compared to millionaires in Beverly Hills? Anyone want to hazard a guess? We'll never know, because if the numbers are what I would speculate on - that would not fit the narrative.

I'm sure the approval rate is much higher in Beverly Hills, even though the criminal records of the applicants may not be quite as clean as 'normal' people who apply and get denied.
