El sheriff de José C. Paz sale armado a la calle para defenderse de la inseguridad

According to data from the National Agency of Controlled Materials (ANMaC), there are around 4 million guns in homes in Argentina; of these, only 1.7 million are registered. The number of legal and illegal users grows year by year in our country due to insecurity and the lack of police action in some areas. “You can't go around with little ones; it's your life or someone else's,” declared Luis, a legitimate and proud owner of a 357 Magnum and a 9mm. He looks like a character from a Clint Eastwood western, but no, he's a former police officer who lives in José C. Paz, near the border with Moreno. Luis explains that whenever he leaves his house, even to the corner kiosk, he goes out armed. “Here, if you want to survive, that's how it is,” he expressed. Neighbors take to the streets armed because of the insecurity. (Photo: Telenoche Screenshot) Neighbors take to the streets armed due to insecurity.

More than once, he has gone out to find a criminal after a neighbor called him. "I was born with a .357 in my waistband. It's my companion, the one under the pillow, the one on the nightstand," he proudly recounted. He also recounts, as if touting, all the stories in which his Magnum prevented a crime from taking place. But Luis isn't alone; the reality of life in that area means many neighbors are armed. According to him, 50 percent of the residents have a weapon, be it a pistol, a revolver, or a knife. ★ Subscribe to our channel → https://bit.ly/365OTiS ★ Get the latest news on our website → https://tn.com.ar/ ★ And don't forget to follow us on social media!
