Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that he will present church shooting hero Jack Wilson with the Texas Medal of Courage on Monday, January 13 at the governor’s mansion in Austin. Wilson was the church security team member who shot and killed an active shooter on December 29. The shooting and Wilson’s armed defense of […]
Watch the video in the tweet below. It zooms on the surveillance video from yesterday’s shooting at the West Freeway Church of Christ and identifies seven people who were armed in the congregation (there were undoubtedly more there who were out of the camera’s field of view). Watch as seven (!!!) Texans jump to action […]
The West Freeway Church of Christ videos and streams its services. The camera caught the moment when a hooded man stood up, pulled a shotgun and opened fire this morning. Watch the man in black stand up at the top of the frame. CAUTION: Some might find this video disturbing: Don’t look now, but this […]
It’s a never-ending debate. The question: what’s the best firearm for home defense? Some like a pistol‘s one-handed maneuverability that lets you corral family members to safety or otherwise frees your off hand to use a flashlight, dial 911, whatever. Some like a carbine‘s combination of power and accuracy. A third group touts the […]
It’s always a good idea to approach in-person sales transactions with strangers with caution. A Chicago woman found out why when she met with a 14-year-old girl to complete the sale of an item (police didn’t reveal what the item was). When the two met up, the girl pulled out a pellet gun and hit […]
We hear much about the continuing exploits of Florida Man. He’s become the object of a lot of well-deserved ridicule around the Intertubes. FM’s been known to relieve himself in inappropriate places, challenge cops to drag races, stash drugs in unusual locations and can be easily bribed with pizza. But not every Florida Man is […]
Remember, no one needs an AR-15 rifle. Weapons of war like that have no place in a civil society. You might have a hard time convincing a Lithia, Florida woman of that, though. Or her husband. Or their young daughter. All three are probably alive today because the family owned America’s post popular rifle the […]
Tucson police say a woman helped a pair of home invaders take the ambient temperature challenge early Wednesday morning when they tried to break into her home in the middle of the night. Cops believe the ne’er-do-wells thought they would find drugs in the home. Instead, they found lead. From The Arizona Daily Star: The […]
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox is not a small man. He’s 6’4″ and tips the scales at 310 pounds. So he’s not someone who the average person would want to tangle with. But when a Pennsylvania man showed up at his New Jersey home on October 15 with a baseball bat, damaged some property, […]
The debate over what kind of gun is best for home defense — pistol, rifle, or shotgun — is almost as fiercely fought as the caliber (9mm vs. .45) or platform (GLOCK vs. 1911) wars. But whatever your choice may be, there’s no denying that a scattergun can be absolutely devastating when defending the homefront […]
If you’re going to break into a store with larceny in your heart, you probably don’t expect much resistance at 2:00 am. But a Conroe, Texas burglar’s luck ran out recently when he smashed the window of an auto body shop with a crow bar. It’s not clear why the business owner and his son […]
The gun control orgs in this country love to use domestic violence as one of their rationales for limiting Americans’ right to keep and bear arms. The cite the number of spouses — usually women — who are injured or killed by husbands, boyfriends and exes. What they somehow fail to mention, though, are the […]
