Alameda

[Paladin]

Since Alameda hasn't been bumped in awhile, I thought I'd post this:

http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_16688493?source=most_viewed&nclick_check=1

East Bay cities ranked among most dangerous in U.S.

Bay City News Service

. . .

The annual survey by CQ Press . . . ranked Oakland as the fifth most dangerous city and Richmond sixth. Oakland's No. 5 ranking is an improvement over last year, when it ranked third.

Among other Bay Area cities, Vallejo was No. 33, Antioch was No. 91, Berkeley was No. 111, San Francisco was No. 130, San Jose was No. 237 and Santa Rosa was No. 242.

CQ Press said its crime rate rankings are based on six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft.

I hope the Right People factor in who TRULY NEEDS a CCW when deciding the priority of targets.

The year is not over yet.

Right you are obeygiant, Oakland still has a chance to move up a couple of notches!!

Hmm. I didn't realize it until Kid came along w/a different interpretation, but your statement is ambiguous. I read it in the context of my entire post that you quoted, and read your statement to mean that there could be CGF movement on Alameda Co this year.

Kid read your statement in context of the part of my post you highlighted in red and came to the conclusion you thought there still was time before the end of the year for Oakland to raise its ranking as a violent city.

Which did you mean?

FWIW the linked article has a link to a .pdf of the rankings and it says the rankings are based upon FBI 2009 stats.

I should have been more clear, I was referring to the fact that there is still time for Oakland to jump ahead in the violent crime rankings.

Obey, while reading some (only at page 17 so far) why does being a member of a Masonic lodge=good cause?

It doesn't, I believe they were trying to demonstrate their good moral character by listing the organizations that they belong to and/or volunteer with.

I strongly urge those in Alameda to remain patient as we might just have some additional instructions for volunteers... in two weeks soon.

This is what I've been waiting for. Nothing against Sonoma or Solano, but this is when we start turning over the rocks and seeing abuses of discretion in the major urban Bay Area counties.

My eyes are spinning from skimming thru those .pdfs, but one thing stands out: business people who sometimes have to go into bad parts of town at odd hours. Q: How has Plummer/Ahern treated law-abiding citizens who live in those same bad parts of town? Do they get issued CCWs?

Now is when the entrenched "powers-that-be" start getting upset. This is when being able to carry a means of defending yourself & yours goes from being a privilege of the well-heeled and well-connected to a right in this state.

Indeed! Ben Henslin is one of the guys consistently up at 2am helping other gun owners in all sorts of creative ways. His hard work pays major dividends for the community and we're damned lucky he's on our side.
