I read a similar piece about Chicago a week ago or so. It seems like maybe having everyone in masks has a down side, who knew?
(If you had told me years ago that I would commonly walk into stores with pistol and a mask on, I would have called BS, but here I am doing it all the time / at least in the stores that require masks.)

Of course, the flip side of that is if I shoot their ass for trying to rob me, I pick up my brass and go home with my fine shooting iron.
I'm wearing a mask, too.
The police can confiscate their filthy corpse.

Sounds like a good reason to carry a revolver. You don’t have to waste time looking for your brass.

I was at the bank drive through yesterday. Saw a customer inside in a ball cap and a bandanna wrapped around his face. I had to do a double take.

Point well taken. At least make the revolver your primary.

Heard a blaze of gunfire this morning at 4 and a car drive off. Turns out some knucklehead was shooting at the neighborhood "avoid this house." Got his target in the leg. Don't know if he wore a mask and disinfected his bullets to keep from infecting her, though.
I live in a moderately vibrant neighborhood.
