“I would like to publicly thank him for his vigilance and his heroic effort. He has been a great neighbor,” Manchester firefighter and Local 856 President Ryan J. Cashin told this paper last week. Then he remembered his union buddies in the police department.
“That being said, the great city of Manchester should not have to rely on our neighbors for public safety,” he said. “Public safety is not arming our citizens with guns and garden hoses.”
Sure it is. The police can’t be everywhere, which is a fact exploited by thugs, punks and thieves all the time. The fact is that people do rely on each other for public safety, which is why an armed citizenry is a net public benefit. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
