Fred Ricciutti, we salute you. How unfortunate that we live in a time when we must be concerned with home invasions; but we do… so we are ready.
“In the war I experienced a lot of bad things, but I had never experienced that in my own house…”
“I know the family. They’re good people,” he said, adding that they came over in tears to apologize for what Hiles allegedly did.
“I forgave them,” he said, adding that he couldn’t hold them responsible for Hiles’ actions.
Back the truck up…
‘Shoot-first’ laws have already cost too many lives. In Florida alone, deaths due to self-defense have tripled since the law was enacted.
Disregard the fact that the Trayvon Martin incident is not a “stand your ground” type shooting (it was more of an “on your back, getting your head bashed in” shooting), isn’t that EXACTLY the point of the law? To allow a citizen to defend himself against an outlaw, without the need to fear criminal prosecution unless the shooting is not justified? Of course deaths due to self-defense have increased, people can refuse to be victimized. The media and politicians have been so incredibly irresponsible in the coverage and commentary of this shooting, I do not possess the language to properly convey my level of contempt and disgust. In the spirit of Rahm “never let a crisis go to waste” Emanuel, the ticks and leeches in DC are trying to capitalize on the Martin shooting, ever in search of ways to undermine the citizen’s ability to protect himself from their constituents.

Chuck Devore has an interesting piece on Breitbart about the LA Riots, definitely worth a read. It reinforces the necessity of the right to keep and bear arms. What the left refuses to acknowledge is that we, as a civilization, are always one or two events from chaos. Look at Hurricane Katrina; look at what happened in LA 20 years ago. Humans are opportunistic creatures, and when the natural man is unchecked, they will take advantage of these types of situations. For every fool on Doomsday Preppers who is readying for an alien invasion (and these are the ones they show you, to “prove” that anyone who prepares for possible future trouble is crazy), there are thousands who understand that one negative turn in current events will lead to the mob trying to separate you from your property and/or your life. The “zombies” I am getting ready for are the unprepared and those who use any excuse to steal and commit other antisocial acts. These types of events bring in predators from miles around, and the advent of social media will only inflame and exacerbate these situations. The government is not equipped to protect you, yet those who hate the 2nd Amendment want you to count on it. Only by taking responsibility for your own safety can you ensure someone is looking out for you and yours.
For Chuck’s article, head on over to Breitbart-
We learned that armed men on rooftops were the good guys, mostly Korean shop owners protecting their life’s investment. The armed men on the street were the hostiles.

Way to go Lulu! I’m sure the attacker is such a nice “boy” who is turning his life around, and can’t be blamed for the armed robbery. Where are his elementary school photos?
As an aside, their “File photo of a gun” has some moron with his finger all over the trigger of a Desert Eagle in a gun shop. I’m that is exactly like the gun grandma had… oh wait, it actually fired, so probably not a Desert Eagle. Grandma would slap that idiot upside the head for the lack of trigger discipline.
“(The suspect) shouted, ‘Give me the (blanking) money and open the (blanking) door!’” Campbell told The Telegraph, describing her ordeal. “I said, ‘Oh my God, somebody is going to rob me.’ I said, ‘Baby, you’re going to kill me anyway, so I don’t have to open it!’”
Campbell says the man fired at her, missing. The 57-year-old fired back, striking him in the chest. Her truck sustained eight bullet holes in the hood, one in the grill. Both front side windows were destroyed. The second man fled after she shot at him.
This, from the bank who has received 100 billion in federal (YOUR) money. Anyone who has banked with them knows they are scoundrels. They are so devoid of ethics and morals, I am almost shocked they wouldn’t be willing to make money off of an industry they find distasteful. They certainly don’t mind having criminals (aka illegals) as customers, but they won’t stand for a US manufacturer, one that supplies our service members no less, patronizing their business. Incredible.

Mark Fingar has posted pictures of the new LaRue A-PEG on the LaRue industy forum at AR15.com. It will be available in all your your favorite colors, including LaRue’s proprietary UDE. It looks to be a hard, aggressively textured grip, uniquely contoured compared to the other grips available. Perhaps slightly reminiscent of the finger shelf on the Sierra Precision grip, but really unlike anything else I’ve seen. According to mfingar, they will be available “very soon.”

The first in a series, “Forfeit” features Eric Holder, demanding that the citizens of the US relinquish their 2nd Amendment rights. In his perfect world, only those who are “more equal” are allowed to defend themselves, while the rest of the citizenry is left defenseless against outlaws and thugs. In “Forfeit,” Holder, the authority figure, raises the emblem of peace, promoting ideas that sound favorable. In practice, however, the citizens are surrendering the very tools that protect peace. They cling to the symbol of peace, as if it will provide some sort of protection. Unfortunately, the peace symbol cannot protect freedom of speech & assembly, religion, or any other God-given right. The citizens who have forfeited their arms are now below those who retain them, and more ominously, Holder, who represents those who wish to force their agenda on the unprotected masses.
The concepts in this work are pulled from the headlines. Holder is evasive and impeding in the Project Gunrunner / Operation Fast and Furious investigation. This asinine plan allowed the sale of weapons (to persons who would normally not have been able to purchase guns) which were smuggled into Mexico for use by the drug cartels. These weapons eventually resulted in the death of at least one Border Patrol agent. If there was some other purpose behind this boondoggle other than trying to prove that gun sales need more stringent control, it is not apparent.
Remember… Once the Second Amendment has been carefully debilitated, all the rest will be easy.
Looking good, Larry. GOTS will definitely give these a try and report back.

I’m sorry (not really)… when you break into someone’s house, you have chosen your fate.

Those friends said they knew Skinner and Everett where not angels, but also felt they didn’t deserve to die.
