Any comments on why the fellow didn't spend part of the 3k on a pistol? :) The articles didn't say he couldn't own a gun. So are we really talking about someone who imprudently let the wrong people know he had 3k in cash and they seemed to know he had no gun. = lapsody

I agree the fellow made a huge mistake by allowing anyone to know about his cash horde.

And I will add that had he owned a pistol, that would not have saved him and could have made his outcome worse. With a ten or twenty second warning there is little chance to arm yourself. The right to own a gun is foundational but having some degree of usable self defense doesn't end with simple ownership.
