WHATS IN THE NEWS
GUILTY
This is the last word any of us would want to hear in a court of law after defending ourselves from a criminal. We train to avoid making mistakes that could turn a jury against us. Move, shoot, move and re-assess. If they run away, let them! The police will catch them eventually.
Ultimately, you must choose what you would do in a similar situation. For Mr. McLaughlin, his choices put him in a very bad legal position. Click to Read: Man found guilty in intruder’s shooting.

WHY WE CARRY – PART II
A couple in Springfield MO was beaten mercilessly by group of eight or more assailants. In this incident we don’t see what led up to the attack, but the couple reported they left a local night club with the group of men.
I would suggest that better situational awareness, or better yet, avoiding lonely alleys late at night would certainly have helped prevent this from occurring. In this situation a firearms may not have helped, but I certainly would want to have that option available. Click to watch: Victims Speak Out After Violent Assault Caught-on-Camera.

Domestic Violence is something that occurs way too often. In this story we have case where if the women in the home had been armed, they may have been able to stop this killer before his rampage began. Instead, the man’s estranged wife was left in critical condition, and her sister is dead. He later kidnapped another couple and raped the woman at gunpoint.

SURVEY SAYS!
A recent survey of law enforcement officers is surprising in that it did not result in a landslide opinion. It makes sense that there are many causes of gun violence. The anti-gun advocates ignore this in their relentless campaign to disarm us law abiding citizens. They preach, “it’s the tool’s fault” when in fact it’s the people wielding them.
