The thing is Chas, if there is a chance a home owner is armed, many
criminals will think twice about breaking in. If they _know_ that you
are not armed then you are basically a helpless victim, especially if
you are elderly.

There is such a place, it's called the UK. It's why they have such a
high % of break ins while the people are still there compared to a very
low rate in the US.

I've heard that Australia is experiencing a similar problem.....

They are.

Gee and I thought this thread had died. ;-)

ARLINGTON, Tennessee (AP) -- A knife-wielding grocery store employee
attacked eight co-workers Friday, seriously injuring five before a
witness pulled a gun and stopped him, police said.

The 21-year-old suspect, whose name was withheld pending charges, was
arrested and then taken to a hospital after complaining of chest pains,
Memphis Police Sgt. Vince Higgins said. The attack apparently stemmed
from a work dispute, police said.

Five victims, one in critical condition, were admitted to the Regional
Medical Center, the main trauma hospital for the Memphis area. Three
others were less badly hurt and treated at another hospital.

The attacker, chasing one victim into the store's parking lot, was
subdued by Chris Cope, manager of a financial services office in the
same small shopping center, Higgins said.

Cope said he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his pickup truck
when he saw the attacker chasing the victim "like something in a serial
killer movie."

"When he turned around and saw my pistol, he threw the knife away, put
his hands up and got on the ground," Cope told The Associated Press. "He
saw my gun and that was pretty much it."

Police arrived within minutes and took the attacker into custody.

"He just kept saying, 'I'm insane. I wish I was never born' and that
kind of stuff," Cope said.

The attack started in an employee area of the Schnucks supermarket on
the outskirts of Memphis and no customers were involved, Higgins said.

Police said two large kitchen knives used in the attack were found at
the scene.

Witness Frank Rector said the attacker held a knife high in a stabbing
position as he chased a victim into the parking lot. The victim, Rector
said, "was circling, trying to get away from him."

The ages of the victims were not immediately released. Higgins and a
company spokeswoman said all the victims were employees of the store.

The spokeswoman said officials from the St. Louis-based company were on
their way to the scene.

Higgins said police were pulling into the parking lot as Cope was
confronting the attacker.

"We commend him," Higgins said. "But we don't encourage people to take
that kind of risk. He could have been hurt." Posts: 347 | From: nola |
