• ‘Heartbreaking’: 13-Year-Old Girl Gunned Down in Front of Fellow Students on Fla. School Bus

  November 21, 2012 at 9:41am

  There is NO excuse for a minor to be in unsupervised possession of a handgun. Whomever the gun belongs to, (assuming it wasn’t obtained from a criminal element) is ultimately responsible for it’s misuse. I, as a responsible gun owner, NEVER leave my guns where they can be accessed by my kids or anyone else for that matter. They are either on my person, concealed carry, or in my very large, very secure safe. If I, as a gun owner, do not maintain proper security of my firearms, I am responsible for what happens with them. If they somehow were lost or stolen, then they would be properly reported as such. If you can get past my locked door, my dog, my alarm system and into my safe before the police arrive, more power to you. I have a 13 year old daughter. This hits home.

• What Safety Issue Is at Such ‘Epidemic Levels’ the FBI Just Created a Task Force for It? Laser Pointers…

  October 8, 2012 at 1:24pm

  To all who are reading this story, please understand: They are NOT talking about your general purpose laser pointer used in classrooms and such. They are talking about lasers powerful enough to start clothing/paper on fire from significant distances. Just look up “Wicked Lasers” on google and you’ll begin to see the problem. They are selling these things to just anybody and that means that they are selling them to morons. These lasers have a visible beam in clear air for MILES. They cause eye damage in mere seconds. These things are no joke and the people using them to irritate pilots are either too stupid to realize the danger they’re creating or they are actually trying to disable the pilots. Either way, this is a crime. http://www.wickedlasers.com/arctic

• Thief Steals Case of Beer. Shop Owner Shoots Him. Thief Goes Free. Shop Owner Gets Arrested.

  May 31, 2012 at 2:25pm

  A cop, in the store, witnessing this crime would NOT have had a justification to shoot, based on the information given in this article. The whole point of having and using a gun is for defense of self. If defense of property using a gun is illegal in his state, then he is guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, minimum, and attempted murder maximum. Sucks, but, you can’t shoot someone in this case unless they directly threaten your life. Take measures to secure the inventory, lock up the booze, whatever, but you can’t just shoot at people, regardless of the fact that they keep shoplifting. Flash mobs do this too. Does this mean we just start firing into a group of people for shoplifting? There is a HUGE difference between being “robbed” by someone blatantly walking out with your merchandise under your nose, and being actually robbed at gun or knife-point. Just my .02 cents worth.

  FATJACK: Be careful what you have your wife carrying. Our wonderful federal gov. has made it a crime to use wasp spray for personal defense. The label clearly states, ” It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with it’s labeling.” So clearly, wasp spray is for deterring pests….wait a minute… pests…hmmm. I guess these thugs qualify! Nevermind!

• New Black Panther Party Chief of Staff Apologizes for ‘Honkeys,’ ‘Crackers’ & ‘Dead or Alive’ Comments

  Please understand – My comments are my view of the world as I see it. Not as I wish it. I, like another person on this blog, forgive her for what she said. (I’m a Christian, and a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ). I’m not an idiot however, and therefore, while I forgive her, I will never FORGET what she said.

  I really don’t think the BPP and their ilk truly understand the enormous disadvantage they would have, should a true “race war” actually come to pass. There are around 300 million guns floating around in this country. The majority of them are NOT handguns. The majority of them are in the hands of VERY well regulated (practiced) deer/elk/moose/caribou/duck/squirrel/rabbit/ hunters. These people are very skilled in the art of camouflage, survival, (camping anyone?) fishing, (ok, we’re on probably equal footing on that one). My point is that the 13% minority would fare BADLY against the white, redneck majority who are quite accustomed to killing very large animals. It’s not too much of a stretch to apply skills learned over a lifetime of hunting to a “race war” survival situation. Actually, it would last more than a couple of weeks in my opinion. I know a LOT of guys that would actually LOVE for this to come to pass. (I’m not one of them). I’m just stating facts. People who run in MY circle of friends are EXTREMELY well armed and EXTREMELY well equipped to handle a “civil uprising” situation. Let’s not push it.

  As for me, apology not accepted. You spoke what was in your heart and got busted.

• Are Rising Gun Sales Responsible for Declining Crime?

  December 1, 2011 at 5:26pm

  The current statistical estimate of annual PREVENTED crimes is approximately 2 million. That’s 2 million instances of crime thwarted simply because of the presence of a gun. The bad guy decided it wasn’t worth it and walked away. I’ve been carrying for 15 years, and I’ve had to present my handgun 4 times in that 15 years. In every case, the would-be perpetrator turned his ass around and walked away quickly. I never have reported these encounters to police, and I would imagine there are many, many more out there who have had the same experience. Now, there are some of you self-defense purists out there who would fault me for “brandishing” without firing. To them I would say that I don’t follow the purist attitude that if you have to clear leather, someone has to die. I’m extremely happy with the outcomes of my 4 incidents. It seems extremely plausible to me that the 2 million crimes that didn’t happen per year is accurate.

• Hunter Shoots Marine Dead in Oregon, Thought He Was a Bear

  In reply to horsefeathers99.

  RANGERP is absolutely right. I put over 40 deer in the freezer in the last 15 years, and I’ve NEVER mistaken one for anything else. As a hunter, you MUST identify your target 100% prior to pulling the trigger. You MUST take an ethical shot in the proper “kill zone” on the animal to prevent undue suffering and pain to the animal. If you’re one of those so-called hunters out there, and you know who you are, that are only interested in the trophy aspect of your target, and must, at any cost bag that animal, then you are the problem. I’ve known people who take shots at moving brush, sounds in the woods, anything moving period. I refuse to hunt with, near, or around people like this. I’ve missed opportunities many times because I couldn’t properly identify a target and let them walk. In my state, even shooting the wrong classification of deer can get you into hot water. Mistake a button buck for a doe? Oh, well, you’re screwed. Shoot a 4 point (fork horn) in a 3 point rule area? Oh well, you’re screwed. There’s a lot more to hunting than simply shooting at an animal. It takes intelligence and discrimination to properly hunt. Idiots!!!

• Church Tithing Has Hit a Record Low in America

  October 17, 2011 at 10:22am

  Trust God in every other area of your life except for your finances and you expect him to bless you? Read the following:

  Malachi 3:8-11 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, In what way have we robbed You? In tithes and offerings.
  (9) You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.
  (10) Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this, Says the LORD of hosts, If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
  (11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, Says the LORD of hosts;”

  In reply to deeberj.

  By not tithing, you are refusing to be obedient to God. You are literally saying to God, “I have faith and trust You in every other area of my life except for my finances. I think I’ll handle this area myself.” How do you expect God to bless you financially, if you are defying him? This is why you struggle.
