You’d think that living in one of the nation’s reddest states, Oklahoma, might make you think twice about trying to break into a man’s house while threatening his daughter. But that idea didn’t make its way through the skull of a 20-something-year-old man in Tulsa, who was shot twice in the chest by his ex-girlfriend’s […]
Gun control doesn’t keep guns out of criminals’ hands. You may have read that here before. Fortunately, they often use them on one another. Case in point: Last month in Troy, New York, police were called to a home after a report of a home invasion and shooting. When they arrived, they did indeed find […]
Around 6:40 p.m. in St. Pauls, N.C., a woman came home to some unexplained noises in her storage building. While armed, she walked into the building and saw James Dority, age 39, standing in the corner. The next thing she knew, he was “lunging at her” in “an aggressive manner.” She shot him five times […]

Gun owners and concealed carry permit holders know that being prepared is a key factor in successfully defending your own and our loved ones’ lives.

Forty-seven-year-old Todd Burns is alive, though recovering from emergency surgery, because the person whose garage he broke into was kind (or foolish) enough to fire a warning shot.

Here’s a tip for anyone facing questions from police: get your story straight. Philip Ryan Krzak hadn’t really planned ahead when he was confronted by cops after trying to break into a Palm Bay, Florida home. The homeowner said she was lying in bed when her daughter came running into her room to advise someone was […]
On Sunday morning at about 4 a.m. in Glen St. Mary, Florida, a group of seven masked home invaders barged into a mobile home located on County Road 125. A shot was fired by one invader. Two of the home’s four occupants responded with armed force. One of the residents had an AR-15 style rifle. […]
You come home at the end of a long day’s work, only to be surprised by a burglar who’s rummaging through your things. If ever you needed your personal defense firearms, that’s the time. The home invader comes at you, but there’s a problem — you left your EDC gun in your car. Oh, and […]
If Samuel Jeter looks rather uncomfortable in the mug shot above, there’s a good reason for that. He “…remains behind bars after being shot four times in his buttocks while police say he was trying to rob a woman in her home,” last week. It must have been terrifying for Katrina Walker and her kids. When […]
Franklin Schrout, pictured above, chose to invade one too many homes in his criminal career. It happend about 1:30 a.m. on Friday in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
