Guns save lives
06/14/14 at 06:37:11

The controlled media goes into a nationwide frenzy whenever some one (mostly persons on SSRI's, which gets no mention) shoots someone.
The same media mostly ignores stories that get only small coverage locally when a gun owner uses their gun defensively.
Post the mostly ignored stories on this thread.
Let the Suzuki blog gun haters see the other side of weapons of self defense.

Here is one from June 11, 2014 Charleston SC -

agreed Ratty, think back to High School, remember the kids that wanted to be journalists, fine outstanding individuals but not the types to join the wrestling team, or school shooting team. My H.S. had a shooting team, we competed against other schools (this was 20 miles from NYC)..

Competitive shooting sports are popular with men, women, teens and all over this once great nation. The most common rifle used is the Colt AR15 which somehow got branded "assault rifle" by those same H.S. kids that would never participate in wrestling or school shooting team.

I haven't even touched upon the self defense issue because women are applying for conceal permits in numbers so great the classes are overwhelmed (yes you must take classes and pass FBI scrutiny)

when some poor sick bastard kills people for whatever reason we need to do a better job caring for (and watching) these obvious sick people. To blame an inanimate object is just the easy way of slapping a bandage over a more serious social issue

LOL.. why wrestle above your weight class? puts you at a disadvantage. (maybe your team had nobody to fill that spot)

My best buddy joined the H.S. shooting team right after I did, we had a blast (he-he).. Our Team did well unless shooting against a more rural school, those farm boys start shooting right out of the womb.

We had a reunion a few years back and my H.S. shooting team buddy
and me were talking about how interesting being 20 miles from NYC and the public schools had shooting sports, nobody cared, none of the schools had accidents. His current wife blew a gasket, belittled him (and me) called us Bambi killers, ruined his reunion for sure. ignorance

shooting is part of what makes America unique, Europe being much older has their sword and bow history, we came much later so our early history involves firearms. Hunting, Target, self defense, even collecting, the stats prove we are extremely responsible with guns.

sorry about the rant Wink

Guns Are Self-Defense Tools; 72-Year-Old Grandmother Fends Off Intruder
Jan Cooper, of Anaheim, fired one shot from her .357-magnum Smith & Wesson revolver around 12:30 a.m. Sunday as a man attempted to break into her home. During a 911 call of the incident, Cooper can be heard begging with the dispatcher to send deputies and warns that she has a gun at the ready as her Rottweiler barks furiously in the background.

Minutes later, a breathless Cooper says the man has come to the back porch and is trying to get in the house through a sliding door. Through the vertical blinds, Cooper saw his silhouette just inches away through the glass as he began to slide open the door.

"I'm firing!" Cooper shouts to the dispatcher as a loud band goes off…

The stunned intruder apologized to Cooper after she fired, she recalled, telling her, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm leaving. Please don't shoot."

The Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that police don’t have a constitutional duty to defend anyone in particular. Americans do, though, theoretically have a constitutional right to self-defense via the Second Amendment, making attempts to curtail it in the wake of sensational violence particularly disturbing.

I think the best was when, many years ago, Florida passed the first,
“Right To Carry Concealed” law.
A Ultra Liberal, (young female), NPR reporter,
Went to a convince store for a, ‘Live Report”.
She asked the owner of that store:
“How has this new law changed how you do business”.
The owner said: “I used to get robbed at gun point once to twice a month.
Now last 6 months no robbing”.
She looked stunned, and asked, “Why”,
He said: “It is the sign I put in the window”. Then showed her the sign.
It said: “Free Coffee showing your CCW”
Then he went back inside, pointed to the back of the store, where the coffee machine was.
and said: “Which one of those 7 people, got free coffee?”

She promptly stopped the interview !!!!!!! Grin

Veteran With Concealed Carry Permit Shoots Back At Chicago Gunman

One of the spate of shootings that took place in Chicago, Ill. over the July 4th holiday weekend involved a veteran with a concealed carry permit who was forced to a shoot a man who began firing on him and a group of friends.

The incident occurred Friday night, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The veteran and three of his friends were leaving a party on the city’s south side. When the group reached their vehicle, a container with liquor was sitting on top of it. A woman from the group asked another group gathered next door who the liquor belonged to and removed it.

The move angered 22 year-old Denzel Mickiel, who approached the veteran and his friends shouting obscenities. The man then went into his residence and returned with a gun.

As Mickiel opened fire on the group, the veteran took cover near the vehicle’s front fender, according to assistant state attorney Mary Hain, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The veteran fired two shots, hitting Mickiel both times.

Two of Mickiel’s friends also began shooting at the group, which was able to flee the scene in their vehicle.

Mickiel was transported to the hospital and is in critical condition. A woman in the veteran’s group was hit twice – once in the arm and once in the back – but was stabilized and taken to the hospital.

Mickiel is charged with attempted murder and will be held on $950,000 bond.

Had Friday’s shooting occurred a little more than a year ago, the veteran would not have been legally permitted to conceal carry his firearm.

Illinois was the last U.S. state to allow citizens to carry concealed weapons with a permit, finally passing a law on July 9, 2013. The state began issuing conceal carry permits in February.

Seven people died and approximately 50 were injured in shootings that took place in Chicago over the weekend. The city has among the highest violent crime rates among major U.S. cities.

But I like the outcome...drinking and guns can get you killed...especially when you can't hit anything and you are firing at a vet.....
