Our Lessons From Mumbai

The Wall Street Journal publishedtoday a detailed and harrowing account of the recent attacks in Mumbai.  It is fascinating, frightening and moving.
What jumped out at me is that if private citizens had guns the magnitude of the attack could have been greatly reduced.  The terrorists seem to have worked in two man teams rather than larger [...]

May This Not Be Our Lament

I only wish I had a gun rather than a camera.
The words of a photographer who witnessed some of the carnage in Mumabai, where terrorists murdered 174 people.  His government ensured he only had a camera.  
This is a good time to remember that there are a lot of people here who want us to only [...]

Self-defense Shooting in DE

Delaware is not a particularly gun friendly state, though much better than neighboring NJ, but a law abiding gun owner did manage to defend himself.  This is the second case recently where not only did a gun owner defend himself but he did so while carrying concealed.  In both cases being able to carry concealed was [...]

Of Barbers and Bullets

Our Bizarre Ideas

According to Bryan Miller of Ceasefire NJ the right to defend yourself or your family is a bizarre and dangerous idea.  Yeah Bryan, it's really bizarre to want to protect your family.  Predators never target the weak right?  Hat tip to Cemetery.

Man vs Woman

In a physical struggle between a man and a woman, the man will usually win.  In a physical struggle between a man and a woman with a gun the results are likely to be very different.  Remind me why the feminists aren't on our side?

Law-Abiding Gun Owner Defends Home

Via Sebastian, a law-abiding gun owner shot a burglar inside his house at 5:00 AM.  Being NJ, there is nothing to ensure the home owner, who is a law-abiding gun owner, won't be charged.  NJ…what a place.

I keep returning to something I have said many times before: any government that interferes with the right to self [...]
