Reply #228: It does protect to a certain extent. And it certainly helps in cases of vandalism.

If the vandalism is treated as an actual threat, since it obviously is in that case that I linked to, it would definitely help to protect the victims.

I've already said elsewhere that we aren't where we need to be in the country as a whole (re. gay marriage, etc.), but it doesn't change the fact that we're ahead of the South in many regards.

I think it's funny how uptight everyone in the South gets when someone asks where people wouldn't want to live, and the answer is some state in the south, and they give good reasons for it, and then the response is "well, then don't live here." :rofl: Well, ok. I won't.
