A Farewell Welcome to Arms

I'm sure the public can't handle toe truth. With good reasons, French merchants what to arm themselves.

CCTV cameras and metal bars weren't sufficient to protect themselves against attack. Merchants in Moissy-Craymel (Seine-Saint-Denis/77) decided to resort to firearms.

Yesterday afternoon a dozen of them went to the Police Commissariat in Moissy to ask for gun permits for their shops.

"We decided to protect ourselves."

There never will be a cop around when you need one, even in a police state, and these people know it.
