It's kind of weird how you are making this about gun laws.
Have you met Wulf? It's kinda weird how he makes everything about race and gun laws, and may actively seek out stories that he thinks can be made about race and gun laws
In this particular case, his suggestion that the solution is "guns in school" Well, since this was clearly a gang-rape, the gang would certainly have guns in such a situation, and the girl would be dead.
Even where you're allowed to have guns, most people elect not to, like me, here.
If anyone caught the canadian folk singer eaten by coyotes story, it's clear that Wulfie is not alone. A lot of people were trying to make *that* story about gun laws. I'm sorry. We have coyotes here. It takes a lot less than guns to fend off coyotes. In fact, they never attack the conscious, which makes me think they were opportunistic killers following an accident or human attack.
As for the school rape victim, I recommend a much more powerful weapon than a gun: A cell phone. A gun against a gang is probably pretty easy to disarm if the attacker is a gang and the defender isn't one of Frems Femme Fatales

I agree.
I haven't seen the coyote story, but definitely, they aren't "killers" where humans are concerned. Scavengers, and their usual prey are small critters, pets, etc. We have been graced to have them show up here and it's a real joy; sleeping outdoors, I get to hear them "sing" a lot. People who live on the fringes have learned the hard way to keep their pets indoors; otherwise, they are no threat at all.
In fact we see them fairly regularly--they have figured out by now that they're safe from humans, and have no other predators to speak of around here. My husband saw a pair while running day before yesterday with my dog. Tashi took off to check them out, and they checked each OTHER out (he's a husky, so too big to be prey). He followed them a short ways then came back to Jim; there was never any attempt to attack him.
People make "news" out of things they WANT to believe, and as for Wulf and his gun fettish, he's welcome to it, but it's easy to ignore when he uses it stupidly. Which is a lot of the time.

I'll offer you this one also - given that they are ubiquitous and close at hand nearly everywhere you go.
A class C fire extinguisher is one hell of a weapon against a pack of bad guys in a pinch, it will blind them and rob oxygen from the air, and if they cannot breathe they cannot chase you or use weapons effectively - giving you the edge you need to make a speedy retreat.
One girl I knew responded to an attempt to accost her by snatching one from the wall of the parking garage and letting them have some, then ran up the steps emptying the cannister behind her as cover, the cops nailed the perps near the building quite easily since they were covered in white dust.
Something to keep firmly in mind when you are in a dangerous or potentially dangerous area or situation and otherwise unarmed.

Interesting. Here they fear people. I guess on a hiking trail, they might become very accustomed to them, maybe people fed them, prolly even. That being the case, it's still a leap to "people are food." There's more to this story.

Yeah, if one's ready at hand. But a cell phone you can use to text gets at the dance. Esp. something like twitter, you can gnab a large number of people. One of them can grab a weapon on the way out the door.
I like the way Buffy and co. improvise on weapons. I was just rewatching some. Yeah, I get your issues with it, it's still a great show (what TV show doesn't have issues?) Yeah, Firefly i great, but it does have issues.

Around here, nobody feeds the coyotes, DT--or any other wild animal that I know of (except the birds... ;o) It's a big "no-no". The local wildlfe rehabs are careful to handle the "patients" absolutely minimally, too. But the wildlife knows it's protected...deer will stand there and stare at you as you pass them within a few feet, as long as you don't actually stop. If you do, they walk away slowly.
We had a bobcat come at us stiff-legged once--scared the hell out of us, especially as Jim was only in shorts and jogging shoes! She had kits off the trail; otherwise, bobcats react the same as coyotes and deer, just walk away at their own pace. Luckily we've never seen one of the big cats, tho' there are frequent sightings, but since around HERE there have been no attacks, it's okay. Have been some in the East Bay, where they just keep building further and further East and into their territory. They just arrived HERE a few years back and there's plenty of open lands for them. It'll stay that way, our open space is all protected.
Would like to hear more about the story--is there a link in this thread? If not, d'ya have one? Curious.
Yes, a fire extinguisher is a good idea, but obviously only if one is available, and even then, when having to think quickly, it might not come to mind fast enough, whereas getting in my car and using IT as a weapon, that would come to mind immediately!

Well, reason I mentioned it was just to get folk thinking, actually.
Ponder what it was that made Rorschach so bloody dangerous ?
In the right place and time, a pencil can be as deadly as an assault rifle, a length of yarn as deadly as a grenade.
The tool is not the weapon - you are.
Remember this.

people are never suppose to feed them, but everywhere has morons. There's a recent thread on the coyote attack, I'm too tired to find it, if you don't dig it up I'll try
Frem, I don't know how that Rorschach comment was meant, but conjures up willow pencil vampire images.

Yeah.... that's just dumb.
