From Michelle Malkin:
A disabled war hero and his wife were assaulted and robbed in Bethesda, Md., a few weeks ago.
The guy lost an arm and a leg in Iraq and five punks mugged him and his wife. If one or both had been armed things might have turned out differently. Maryland, however, doesn't trust it's citizens to carry firearms to defend themselves except under rare circumstances. Hence being outnumbered or out-sized is an invitation to the predators on the street.
