"Lock your doors & Load your guns"

The bankrupt city of San Bernardino, Calif. is so cash-strapped it has been forced to slash public safety budgets just to stay afloat. That includes downsizing the police force.

During a city council meeting this week, Jim Penman, the city Attorney of San Bernardino, told residents to “lock your doors and load your guns” because they will need to start protecting themselves due to the diminishing number of cops on the streets, CBS Los Angeles reports. It is the perfect example of why self-reliance is so important — because when the government can’t protect you anymore, you have be able to protect yourself and your family.

Penman has been criticized by some for his brutally honest statement but he is standing by it.

“You should say what you mean and mean what you say,” he said.

The comments came after about 150 concerned residents attended a city council meeting to express their concerns about a number of recent crimes in the area, including the murder of an elderly woman last week.

I'm glad somebody has common sense in my former country, the Republic of Kalifornia. Go Penman!

I thought we didn't need guns, the police will protect you. Isn't that what the liberal gun haters keep telling us? As usual keep those social programs funded. Keep paying management big salaries. Cut public safety and then run to the voters for more money for public safety. This is happening all over the country. Same thing is going on here. Yet we keep re-electing the same idiots with the same solution, the cycle continues, the outcome stays the same.

And everyone wonders why so many people are leaving this state. I don't live in Southern California, but keep my doors locked and guns loaded anyway.
