The response to armed self-defense in the home during a home invasion is so different in Canada and America that it borders on the bizarre. I’ll use a recent example of the case of a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix, Arizona to make my case. First I will explain the facts of the case, then I’ll delve into the response of the Phoenix Police Department and then, finally, explain … [Read more...]
“Gun Control” kills. Here’s how…
The advocates of "gun control" are forever telling us that guns are too dangerous for mere citizens to use. It's just not safe, they say. That mentality has always bothered me because what are police officers except mere citizens with a little training? Anyone can become proficient in the skills needed to handle firearms safely. Training facilities like Front Sight can … [Read more...]
Trayvon Martin Case: when political agendas are more important than the facts
The Trayvon Martin Case has become the classic example of how a political agenda can drive the reporting of a case, and in this case, twists and distorts reality to fit that agenda. Take this photo of Trayvon Martin, for example. This image ran with opinion pieces on this case across the world. Well, you can't call them reporting, since the photo is itself a fabrication … [Read more...]
New Hampshire, the “Live Free or Die” state just murdered freedom
New Hampshire has as it's state motto the phrase "Live Free or Die". If you're a normal, thinking American you might be forgiven for believing that New Hampshire actually believes in that motto. In reality, New Hampshire officials, or at least their police, hate the concept so boldly embraced on the state's license plate. Anyone doubting that might want to talk to 61 year … [Read more...]
Vigilantism vs Self-Defense: Why Bob Rae is a buffoon completely out of touch with reality
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae is the perfect Liberal. He hates his fellow citizens and believes the State should, indeed MUST be all-powerful, especially when it comes to a monopoly of force. It is the state and ONLY the state who should be able to use force to repel attackers, not mere citizens. For those of us of the lesser class, i.e. not a Liberal politician or a … [Read more...]
The Man Who Would Be “Rapist” shot 9 times by his would-be victim
This is a story that ends the way it should, with the would-be rapist filled with lead, his would-be victim standing over him, smoking gun in hand. Sadly, (NOT!) the attempted rapist died later at hospital. While the story happened last May in Gwinnett County, Georgia, it is one that bears highlighting, if for no other reason than to commend this brave woman for doing what … [Read more...]
It’s hard to believe JPFO’s Aaron Zelman has been gone a year already!
It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since the death of Aaron Zelman, the founder of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). It feels like the shock of that news was only delivered yesterday for me, not a year ago. I am reminded of Aaron’s passing today by Rabbi Dovid Bendory’s Yahrzeit Tribute to Aaron Zelman, which he just emailed to me and … [Read more...]
Sarah Dawn McKinley: home invasion suspect is released on bail and other stupid things
As you probably recall, the other day I wrote about Sarah Dawn McKinley, the young widow whose husband died on Christmas day, and then on the day she buried him, two morons tried breaking into her home to attack her and her 3-month-old son. She did everything right, including shooting one of her attackers dead inside her front door. The dead man’s accomplice, 29-year-old … [Read more...]
Her husband died on Christmas Day and she had to kill a home invader on New Years Eve
Some days criminals just don’t leave you any choice. New Year’s Eve was precisely one of those days for Sarah Dawn McKinley of Blanchard, Oklahoma, south of Oklahoma City. Sarah’s husband died from cancer on Christmas Day, just months after their baby was born. Obviously still grieving the loss, she was home alone on New Year’s Eve when two men decided that terrorizing a … [Read more...]
Zero Tolerance for Crimes Against Good People
A friend, who has followed my writing for 30 years, recently suggested that I package my articles into a one-volume tome and title it “I Told You So”. While mulling over that vain idea to see if it had merit, I did come across a couple of pertinent pieces “Zero Tolerance for Crimes Against Good People” and another writer’s supporting piece “We Must Be Able to Defend Our … [Read more...]
Intruder invades a man’s home, but it’s the home owner who gets charged with aggravated assault
In what's becoming a disgusting and disturbing pattern across Canada, it's once again the law-abiding citizen that is being charged, not the criminal. Ontario police and Crown prosecutors appear to have an incredible bias against anyone actually defending themselves, their loved ones or their property. This is just the latest in a long line of legal obscenities to grace the … [Read more...]
Katey Montague releases video in support of Lawrence Manzer
Canadian Freedom advocate Katey Montague has just published a video to her YouTube website in support of New Brunswick resident Lawrence Manzer, who is facing charges of "possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace." Manzer was charged last year after he and neighbour Brian Fox apprehended three drunken teenagers who had been vandalizing and stealing from their … [Read more...]
Lawrence Manzer Radio Interview on CBC Halifax
Lawrence Manzer, as anyone who's been following my blog for a while will know, is the man currently facing charges of "weapon dangerous to the public peace" in Burton, New Brunswick. His crime? Stepping onto his porch with an unloaded shotgun to make sure his neighbour was safe. Manzer's neighbour Brian Fox was charged with assault for restraining three drunk teenagers … [Read more...]
A Pitchfork Registry? What a great idea!
After all, if it just saves one (criminal's) life, it's worth it! Hats off to Jim Foster of the Times & Transcript for his hilarious parody of the Firearms Act. On the evening of December 4th, some asshole tried to invade the home of an 80-year-old widow. He really didn't care that she was home, that much was apparent by his refusing to stop trying to break into her … [Read more...]
Thoughts on Common-Sense Gun Laws
by a man who knows exactly what he's talking about. Bill Whittle makes a profound case for civilian gun ownership. If guns cause crime and murder, why are the places with the most legally-owned handguns such low crime areas? I can wait... … [Read more...]
