Apparently the media is going into hypersensitivity mode and any shooting (other than where a conceal carry saves the day) is going to be thrust in the spotlight http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/01/16286049-gunfire-rings-in-a-deadly-new-year-across-us?lite On another note, I was talking to a friend of mine today and he said that a couple from England used to come into his shop every year and at one point commented that in England, you pretty much expect your place to get broken into. Since there are no guns, the criminals have little fear of residents defending their property and there are so many break ins that police do little, if anything, about it.
