“I’ve always been anti-gun,” said Debbie Mizrahie of Beverly Hills.
“But I am right now in the process of getting myself shooting lessons because I now understand that there may be a need for me to know how to defend myself and my family. We’re living in fear.”
During Black Lives Matter protests last year, Mizrahie told The Post, her neighbor’s home was firebombed with Molotov cocktails.
“My kids were outside and they saw a huge explosion,” she said.
“[The neighbor’s] backyard went up in smoke. Trees burned down … But it’s only gotten worse. Beverly Hills has been targeted.”
Mizrahie, a 40-something mother of two teenagers, isn’t alone. Ever since the protests last year descended into riots and lootings, a growing number of Beverly Hills residents have been buying weapons.
“It’s gotten to a point where residents feel insecure even going from their door to their car,” said resident Shirley Reitman.
“A lot of residents are applying for a concealed carry weapon permit, even though that’s a great challenge in LA County.”
According to LA County Sheriff Alejandro Villanueva, the department has received 8,105 concealed carry weapon applications and approved 2,102 of them since he took office in December 2018, compared to his predecessor having issued 194 permits in four years.

I would truly enjoy the experience of listening to the explanation of "Black Lives Matter" to an Inuit Village on the North Slope of Alaska during December while the temperature is -50 degrees and the wind is a study 70 m.p.h.

These looters need to be put down like the animals they are
Beijing joe IS the leader of the democommie "cult"!
There appears to be some confusion in the difference between the meanings and applications of "Concealed Carry Permit" firearms, and "Open Carry" firearms. C.C.P. requires training, background checks and felony free records, to keep "Hidden Firearms" on your person for self defense. Open Carry is Guaranteed Every Lawful Citizen the Right to bear (openly display/carry) A firearm for personal protection providing this right has not been stripped through due process of Law by "Felony Conviction." Refer to the First Ten Amendments."

hmm. L.A. Sheriff dept. has approved 2,201 of 8,105 ??
Everyone needs to "Carry". Either Concealed or Open. Then perhaps people with " Think twice, speak once."
i wish more carried "open" ,howver, i understand the risks. I think it would send a message
I am not in favor of 'everyone' being able to carry concealed. I can understand how some might feel a bit intiminated if open carry was on the books but that would be their problem, not the one carrying.
Heck, when I lived in N.C. I had a concealed carry permit but one day leaving the barn after horse back riding I did not realize my weapon was showing. You had to see the face of so many who appeared shocked at my presense when I walked into the Food Lion store. Haha!
Those in my state who obtain a CCP are vetted and it shows they are free from any felony convictions. No permit to carry would allow perps to carry and if stopped by a cop not questioned why they had a concealed weapon. Since no permit required, the cop would simply let the person go even if they had a felony record which would be unknown to the officer. A permit on the other hand would show the person to be felony free. That works for me.
