On January 26, 1779, a group of revolutionaries led by John Twiggs and William Few met at the Burke County Jail to figure out a way to prevent colonists defecting to the British.

How does a 105lb 4’11” Senior Citizen Fight off a 200lb Attacker? Superior Firepower

While gun control zealots have made it their life’s mission to ensure that the weak, the old, the small, the outnumbered and the law abiding are disarmed so as to ensure the safety of criminals and terrorist alike, it is good to know that there are still places in America where freedom rings…with a pull of the trigger.

Beretta 9mm Saves Family in Missouri

Thankfully Missouri is one of those states that doesn’t go out of its way to protect criminals by making it nearly impossible for law abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights. For had it been like Washington DC or New York, Katie Claxton doesn’t think she or her family would be alive today.

3 Reason Why We Need More Good People WIth Guns

As the old adage goes, when more good people have guns, the more likely they are to stop bad people with guns.

Despite calls from anti-gun politicians and media figures for more gun control legislation in wake of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Americans are seeking out ways to protect themselves with firearms.

Unarmed Good Samaritan Becomes Another Victim

They say that no good deed goes unpunished, a lesson that 25 year old Tulane medical student and Good Samaritan, Peter Gold, recently found out when he stopped 21 year old Euric Cain from abducting a drunk woman from the streets of New Orleans.

God and Sam Colt come together to protect Pastor

As the old adage goes: “God created man, Sam Colt made them equal.” It’s with this in mind that I take you to the Church of New Beginnings in Baytown, Texas where Pastor Benny Holmes utilized the Lord’s protection in the form of a .45 pistol to protect himself from a church robber. At about 6:15 in the morning while Pastor Holmes was asleep inside, a would be robber breaks through the door of the church. Pastor Holmes hears the noise, arms himself and then goes to see who would defile his church. He found career criminal Lee Marvin Blue Jr (27), whose rap sheet dates back to 2005. Upon finding Blue stealing the churches laptops Pastor Holmes commanded him to stop twice but Blue ignored the Pastors words and advanced upon him.  It should be noted that Blue is built like a linebacker who busted in the door...

Model and Actress Kelly Carlson Carries A Firearm for Self Defense

Model and Actress Kelly Carlson is not some gun hating Hollywood actress, quite the contrary.  She recently opened up on her pro gun viewpoints and why she herself carries a firearm. Despite being trained in the Filipino martial art of Kali since the age of 19, Carlson understood that some situations may arise where Kali wouldn’t be enough. “Owning a firearm…was life changing for me because women for sure, but even men too can be in a very, very vulnerable position with no options if you have intruders or any scenario where you’re being dominated physically. [A firearm] is the only equalizer you have.” Carlson has recently revealed that in 2012 she was a victim of a stalker who hired 7 men to break into her house, compromise her electronic devices and ambush her. After several break-ins and being followed on the streets, she contacted law enforcement who were not...

Uber Bans Drivers and Passengers From Being Armed; Driver Promptly Robbed At Gunpoint

In another example of anti-gun asininity, San Francisco based company Uber Technologies Inc. came up with the brilliant idea to ban its drivers and users from carrying firearms while using the car service. From their June 10th Policy Change: UBER FIREARMS PROHIBITION POLICY We seek to ensure that everyone using the Uber digital platform—both driver-partners and riders—feels safe and comfortable using the service. During a ride arranged through the Uber platform, Uber and its affiliates therefore prohibit possessing firearms of any kind in a vehicle. Any rider or driver found to have violated this prohibition may lose access to the Uber platform. I highlighted the truly inane part.  Once again, liberal gun grabbers seem to think that it is better to FEEL safe than to actually BE safe. In less than a fortnight this policy was shown to be the train-wreck it was destined to be as an Uber...

Carjacker picks wrong target, held at gunpoint by driver until police arrive (video)

Another happy ending to a potential tragedy.  This one comes with video.  In short, carjacker hops into the passenger side door of a car and tells the driver that a carjacking is going down.  That’s when things go sideways for Mr. Carjacker. Hashim Fannin, the car owner, says the attempted carjacking occurred just after he had pulled into a parking spot at the Family Dollar on Marietta Boulevard in northwest Atlanta earlier this month. In Fannin’s own words: “He told me, ‘You know what this is,’” That is when Fannin says he pulled his gun out. “I asked him to get out the car, probably not in those exact words. I told him no, there’s no leaving, leaving was before you hopped into my car … at this point there is not leaving.” Personally…I LOVE that. It reminds me of the movie “A Bronx Tale” when a bunch of bikers roll into a...

Escaped Fugitive Meets Business End of Female Homeowners Firearm

There’s an old adage that 2nd Amendment supporters like to tell people when they are asked why they carry a gun.  It goes: When seconds count, police are minutes away. Well, in a case Redding California, about 100 miles shy of the Oregon border, Jennifer Doolittle proved that even when the cops are seconds you can still face down a desperate escaped fugitive with no one to help you but yourself. Dillon Carmello was on parole for a weapons charge and is a registered sex offender.  At about 9am last Monday Deputies noted that Carmello was “acting bizarre and possibly under the influence of a controlled substance.”  They also mentioned that Carmello kept reaching for his pockets as if he had a gun in them.  Police held him down and had him at gun point but somehow Carmello was able to escape from their custody. From that point the chase was...

Instead of Mercedes SUV, Carjacker gets bullet to the chest from Armed Citizen

In one of those feel good stories that the lamestream media assures you never happens, a carjacker was stopped dead in his tracks (literally) when he decided to jack a car in the wrong parking lot. In a Macy’s parking lot in Orem, Utah, about 40 miles outside of Salt Lake City, Taulagi Matafeo thought it would be a good idea to carjack a woman that he saw in a Mercedes SUV.  Matafeo forced his way into the car with the woman inside and the woman began to scream. Unfortunately, the woman was unarmed and Matafeo was getting close to success until a good Samaritan (WITH A GUN) decided to intervene. Matafeo leapt out of the car to attack this unnamed savior and was shot once in the chest.  He would later die at the hospital. To me, the unnamed 31 year old man is a hero who probably saved this woman’s...

After 3 Years Gun Owning Senior Wins Lawsuit Against Crooked Cops Who Stole His Firearms

It took three long years, but 75 year old Arthur Lovi finally had his day in court and the police department of Arlington Heights, Illinois were on the losing end of an $80,000 ruling. The story began back in 2012 when Lovi was diagnosed with high blood pressure linked to stress.  His doctor suggested he talk to a therapist to try a lower his blood pressure. Lovi, who was a helicopter pilot for the Air Force during the ’60s  talked to the therapist about his recent losses that he was dealing with. From the Daily Herald: Lovi told her about the loss that had been all around him the past few years: his mother, a 3-year-old granddaughter who drowned, a son-in-law lost to a drug overdose, and worst of all, his wife of 33 years. Cindy had died nine years ago, but to Lovi it was still raw. She...

Wheelchair Bound Man that Bloomberg Wants Disarmed Kills 2 Home Invaders

Remember, not so long ago when New York City’s racist former Mayor Michael Bloomberg went on and on about how black people commit so much crime that we need to instill more gun control in order to keep “them” under control? If you’ve forgotten allow me to refresh your memory with these two links: Racist Bloomberg and Crony Come Out and Say Guns Are Only For Whites Audio: Bloomberg’s Racist Gun Control Rant I bring Bloomberg’s past racism up now because if it was up to him, a black, 26 year old Tulsa resident would be dead, most likely along with his friend after a group of 3 men broke into his apartment. From KOKI’s report: Anita Penn says her son, who is in a wheelchair, had to shoot the men. “He did the right thing, because he can’t fight. He can’t do anything, he’s in the chair, and the only thing...

With the end of Black History Month I Ask: Black Community…What The Hell?

When I was growing up I remember hearing stories of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr and his non violent fight for equality. I remember Rosa Parks noble defiance when she refused to move from her seat. I remember learning of Booker T Washington going from slave to advisor to two US Presidents. I remember hearing of great men and women fighting and struggling for equality.  To be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. I can’t help but feel that the three I named and countless others are rolling over in their graves to see all they have worked for being pissed away by a generation who may only know of Dr. King because they got a day off because of him. “Leaders” of the black community nowadays, your Al Sharptons and Jessie Jacksons, are more interested in lining their own pockets and...
