Over at breitbart.com tanger100 comments on the defensive gun use in the video above [click on image to view]: “Guess these thug teenagers were just bored as well, that’s why they went after this hard-working man. How sad society has become. This man is working 2 jobs to provide for his family, and these thug teenagers, who run amuck with no supervision, discipline, etc. think it’s o.k. to rob someone because they are too lazy and bored to work themselves! What is this world coming too? Thank God this guy was carrying; otherwise, the end result could have been much worse.” My only quibble: society has ever been thus. In fact, society’s been a LOT worse. Violent crime rates have been dropping for two decades. Look south. Look east. Look around. Society’s a lot worse elsewhere in the world. And? When it’s you or them a firearm increases the odds that it’s gonna be you. That’s not a stat. That’s reality. [h/t Tom]

  1. For those of you looking for a slim, concealable, & shootable gun, pick up a 9mm M&P Shield.

    IMO appendix carry is the best way to carry- quick access, little to no printing, even when bending, and great for retention.

  2. AWESOME article! I’ve posted the links to my Facebook page/News Feed. Thank you for holding Guns & Ammo accountable. It ties in directly with the recent Chuck Baldwin article about “Our Friends Are Killing Us” (http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/1097/Our-Friends-Are-Killing-Us.aspx), where he talks about the damage being done to the Constitution and our freedom from people who are supposed to be on OUR side. Thank you for your article, and keep ’em coming!

  3. Oh, great article, by the way. All the bad news (which is all that really gets the press, even if it’s not warranted) gets old after a while.

  4. When things finally go south in this country, it will be people like THIS who better be in fear for their lives because they will be the first who are eliminated.
