Was this by the beach or out by the onion fields?

Neither. Residential/business area. Few hundred yards away from a major intersection and 100 yards from fire station 4.

Nice, big bang reference.

I used to live right there also. Still live in the city. But there have been a lot of killings in every city lately. Ventura just had two with the guy stabbed to death at the bus stop.

It seems better than north Oakland where I lived while going to college.

I'm sure.

Guess what?? Another shooting homicide! Police responded to reports of gunshots and found a dead body about 2 hours ago.

Yeah...got me thinking already since the homicide outside my place a few weeks ago. This one happened down the street from base.

The CBC base area of Hueneme wasn't bad when I lived in Oxnard. That was thirty years ago though. Hueneme Rd/J st area was the sketchy part of south Oxnard back then.

My wife and I have gone back there a few times over the last ten years for the Strawberry Festival. Oxnard has really changed. A lot.

Glad you didn't get hit by a stray or a thru and thru.

Stay safe.

Hate to bring bad news but this is the norm in Oxnard.

I checked out the fb page too. Rough bunch, looks like they like looking for trouble, but i saw a couple of funny things:

If they thing wasn't lit---I'd think he had something else in his mouth---

Fire station 62** on Pleasant Valley Rd.

A couple years ago, I had a shooting call in the same block of the same street. 5am, guy warming up his car to go to work. It's amazing to me the amount of violence for a beach community in a nice county. Stay safe and carry one, OP

Get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500. Get the HD model, take a home defense shotgun course, and store it with one in the chamber. A 12 gauge loaded with buckshot will be more than adequate for HD, and you don't have to worry about any of the new laws.

Every man needs a handgun, a shotgun, and a rifle. The shotgun should be seriously considered as your first purchase anyway, since getting a CCW is a time consuming process, so you won't be carrying outside the home for the time being.

That's my advice to a newbie, with 30 years of shooting and owning guns under my belt.

Home Defense (HD) Shotgun and something to lock it up in when you are not home.
