Armed Citizen!!
A man armed with a butcher knife was acting erratically and chasing after people in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store in Memphis, Tenn. As the criminal lunged to cut one driver leavin the lot, the driver retrieved a pistol and shot the attacker, killing him. The armed citizen had two young step-daughters in the car with him during the attack.
Witnesses had nothing but positive things to say of the armed citizen, with one woman noting, “Self-defense… That’s what I would have done, the same thing.” Police have stated that the driver is not likely to be charged. (WHBQ, Memphis, Tenn. 03/05/10 WREG, Memphis, Tenn. 03/05/10)

The forgotten virtue of firearms
During Christmas week, a registered sex offender with a conviction for attempted murder used a gun to take three hostages at a Wytheville, Va., post office. Not too surprisingly, the national media gave the crime extensive news coverage. Such sensationalism leaves a distorted image about what happens with guns every day in the United States. When guns work to stop crime, there’s not nearly as much drama to sensationalize and, as a result, that much less coverage.
New Hampshire: Turning the State House into a no-self-defense zone
With the Joint Facilities Committee’s ban on firearms in the State House, it has become painfully obvious that some members of the Legislature have yet to learn from history.
Think of all the horrific acts that have been perpetrated on the law abiding citizens of our great nation Columbine, Virginia Tech, Luby’s Cafe, and the list goes on. These places have one thing in common: They were all “gun free zones.”
South Carolina: Georgetown School Board talks about guns
The Georgetown County School Board will have major issues to consider when it meets next including the district’s concealed weapons ban.
The school district has attracted state’s Attorney General Henry McMaster’s attention regarding its ban of concealed weapons on all school property, which is more stringent than state law.
McMaster released an opinion in December that the district’s policy supersedes state law, which allows a concealed permit holder to have guns in a car while dropping off kids at school, or in a locked compartment in their vehicle in a school parking lot.
Racial Spoils in Obama’s America
“There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America,” declared candidate Barack Obama. His policies say otherwise.
What the Dems Know: Universal Voter Registration
Democrats ramming through unpopular legislation need not fear the electorate once universal voter registration becomes law.
Repeal the Health Bill
Sooner or later, the American people must rise up and do more than complain about the latest wizard wheeze of the progressive educated class.
The Obamas: Conspicuous Sacrifice vs. Conspicuous Consumption
A recurring theme of the Obama White House is “sacrifice.” The president has repeatedly stressed the need for us to tighten our belts. What about the Obamas themselves?
Emperor Obama and the Mob
Like a Roman imperator, Obama watches a toothless Senate do his will…
