• Group of Thugs Target Seemingly Defenseless Woman — They Had No Idea She Had Been Frequenting the Gun Range

  Exactly! At my tactical defense shooting course this week, we were reminded that law enforcement officers (TRAINED shooters!!!) miss 70% of the shots they take, and that it takes approximately 2.3 bullets to effectively stop a threat. Some simple math – 3 bullets to stop a threat, you’ll miss 70% of your shots if you are a pro, so…. you need 10 bullets PER THREAT.

  If you are in NY, you are effectively SCREWED.

  My mom hasn’t yet cashed in on her “going to the gun range” and “Harley motorcycle ride” Mother’s Day gifts, but that is just because she has a garden party to get ready for and the weather sucks around here. But wow, she was so excited when she got her presents this year, and I was thrilled, too!!!

• Game-Changing Bombshell? There’s a Major Twist in the Story About a High School Student’s Lesbian Relationship With a Minor

  I get what you’re saying, but some of the sexual encounters happened AT SCHOOL. What were the parents supposed to do then – keep their daughter home? Have a teacher sit by her during class, at lunch, and in the bathroom?

  Your analysis squares with what I was taught at my tactical defense shooting class!

  Man, this made me choke up. Sometimes it is the littlest light in the darkness that can make all the difference. God bless the people that are reaching out to one another right now. And may the lost and scared pets find their way home.

• Armed Montana Homeowner Drops Burglar With One Bullet

  The homeowner was lucky the burglar left after 1 shot (and got himself killed in an accident on the way out). I just took a shooting class and it takes approximately 2.3 bullets to stop a threat. Add to that the fact that LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS miss 70% of the shots they take, and you are going to need to fire 10 bullets to effectively stop a threat.

  Just think about that – 10 bullets. If you live in NY, you are effectively screwed.

  And I don’t live in a state that upholds the Castle Doctrine, so I’d better be darn sure that my person (and not just my home) is threatened before I make the decision to pull the trigger. Note to self, sell the castle and move to another state!!!

• Obama State Dept: London cleaver attack was ‘senseless violence,’ not terrorism

  May 23, 2013 at 8:52pm

  I’m beginning to think that actually using the world “terrorism” would cause members of the Obama administration to melt, much like Dorothy throwing water on the Wicked Witch caused the green tyrant to melt. Any thoughts?

  High school was tough, but it was SO MUCH EASIER for me that for those girls because I stuck with obeying the rules of chastity – not having sex before marriage. Man, those rules really did me some favors in the long run, and I didn’t get married until I was 25. It really CAN be done, people!!!

  That’s the Midwest – people coming together to help one another and to protect the children. My ancestors came over from the Netherlands and helped settle the Midwest, and that’s just the kind of people that live there. What huge, huge hearts.
