Why does God let bad things happen? Why did God let some jerk break into my home and violate my sense of safety? Easy. Because that jerk has free will. (more…)

A T&S blogger posts about being sexually assaulted. Not rape, it didn’t go that far, deo gratia, but groping and pawing. (more…)

This was not a corporate-owned store, but rather a family-owned franchise.

I hope they publish the security-camera video if there was one.

“Fear no man regardless of his size… pull me, and I will equalize.” (A common slogan in regards to Samuel Colt’s famous line: “God made them all, Colt made them equal.”)

THIS is why law-abiding citizens must remain armed.

One diminuitive 65 year-old female jewelry store owner with a handgun, versus five robbers, two of whom are armed. Watch the thugs run, fall down, and forget which way the door opens.

In Florida recently: two armed bad guys attempt to rob a group of unarmed store patrons, and one armed good-guy. The bad guys had bigger guns, or so it appears in the video.

Yet when 71-year-old armed man, who refused to be a victim, started firing back, the bad guys were literally falling over each other to get out.

One can’t tell from the video how many of the senior citizen’s shots hit their target.

Dear Mr-71-year-old-armed-law-abiding-citizen, if you are reading this, please buy a bigger gun, and practice more. And God bless.

Maybe we can take up a collection, and send him some money for practice ammo and range time.

Huffpo has an article on same event with video. Pull-quote on video at 3:23, “But, they have bad news for them. I’m always carry gun….24 hours, 7 days a week.”

Let’s say we chip in, and buy the little lady some ammunition to practice with so she can improve her aim. Her only mistake was that one of them got away.

Note the fact that one of them is in the hospital, and the other one got away; therefore, the mug shots are likely from previous arrests.

This article in her local paper may have enough info to track down an address for her. This is the best article of the three.

Holding a suspect until the police arrive isn’t vigilante justice. It’s sustaining and upholding the law.
