We’ve been told by all of the most intelligent people who are steeped in firearms and personal defense knowledge that NO ONE NEEDS AN AR-15 TO DEFEND THEIR HOME. Nobody needs an AR-15 to hunt. Nobody needs a semi-automatic rifle to defend their home. But mass shooters NEED these weapons in order to murder as […]
“He’s the really nice guy that you see out walking his dog–speaks to everyone, just a friendly guy. Everyone is concerned for him and his for his family as far as the emotional toll this must be taking on them,” said neighbor Brad Castlen. No matter how justified the circumstances, the aftermath of a defensive […]
“‘You have a responsibility to protect yourself and your family in whatever means possible to do that,’ [Radcliff Police Capt. Willie] Wells said. ‘So, long as you can articulate that your actions were in defense of yourself or your property, then I think you would be justified.’” That’s the considered opinion of a Kentucky cop […]
You know that “bump in the night” situation that home owners fear? Well they don’t always happen at night. As a recent defensive gun use in southwest Virginia illustrates, those bumps can happen any time of day. As WSLS reports, this particular break-in happened last week at about 4:30 p.m. The man authorities say broke […]
“People have the right to defend themselves,” said Maj. Anthony Thuman with the Clayton County Police Department, “that’s the point we want to drive home, you have the right to defend yourself.” And a Clayton County, Georgia resident did exactly that when 18-year-old Jayven Jackson first pounded on his door at 3:00 am, then broke a […]
Piers Morgan may wonder why Americans own firearms, but unlike his countrymen, we have a right to do so. And many of us realize that we are our own first responders. Whether it’s an un-armed Brit bobbie or a Pasco County, Florida deputy, Johnny Law will almost never be there in time to protect you […]
Men who attack women are cowards. Men who challenge others over whether they’re entitled to park in a handicapped parking space are annoying prigs with far too much time on their hands. Put them together and you have what happened yesterday in downtown Milwaukee. Right outside of police headquarters. WISN reports that . . . […]
Scenes from life in Governor Cuomo’s SAFE Act paradise: an upstate homeowner has been charged with a felony after he defended himself from two home invaders with what prosecutors are calling an “illegal gun.” “He told me that when they were coming up the stairs, that as they approached him, that he was scared to […]
A would-be hold-up man strolled into a Portland, Oregon convenience store just after midnight, thinking he’d pick up some cash. Surveillance video shows him approach the store clerk and produce a hatchet from under his hoodie. That’s when the clerk in turn drew a handgun. As the Daily Mail relates . . . The unidentified […]
You’ve heard it a thousand times. “God created men and Sam Colt made them equal.” In other words, a firearm allows a smaller, weaker, slower or older individual to defend him or herself when attacked by someone younger, stronger and faster. Case in point: 80-year-old Ernesto Del Monte of south Florida. He was getting into […]
This one isn’t your typical defensive gun use story. As the Daily Mail puts it, “what appeared to start as a home invasion in Texas turned into a bizarre string of events that has even shocked police.” A Houston man woke up early yesterday morning to the sound of breaking glass and found an armed […]
Estimates put the number of gun owners in California at about 4 million out of a population of just under 40 million people. Of course, that’s according to the assiduously anti-gun operation run by Garen Wintemute at UC-Davis. The real number is probably twice that. Maybe more. Even in the state that takes pride in enacting […]
