Guns N Freedom

This off-duty police officer was in the right place at the right time.  And even though calling 911 would have never saved the man’s life who was being stabbed, it’s a good thing this off-duty cop was carrying a gun.

Sgt. Jackie Moore has been on the force for 15 years working with the Dallas Police Department.   She was off-duty and had just parked her car in a parking lot just before 10am when she heard a woman screaming across the street.

A few minutes before that moment Vincent Cortez, 45,  was at work and noticed a man trespassing on the company’s property.  The intruder had somehow jumped the fence.

According to local media rep

It wasn’t long ago that it would have been illegal for this Chicago man to carry a concealed weapon and protect himself against 2 attackers outside his home.   Chicago police have determined that the concealed carry weapons permit holder used his gun in self-defense.

The 53-year-old South Austin man had a valid CCW permit and shot at 2 men how approached him outside of his home.

At 2:40 in the morning the man was walking from his garage to the front of his house when 2 males in hoodies accosted him.   The men appeared in the gangway between the man’s home and the neighbors home when one of the men pulled out a handgun from his waistband.

The gunman pointed the gun at the homeowner, and probably forgot that Illinois is a concealed carry state now and actually allows it’s citizens to carry firearms, even though there’s a ton of red tape to do so.

So the citizen that would have once been unarmed and at the mercy of the gunman was able to fight back.  The man drew his own gun and fired several shots at the 2 men in hoodies and the men f

After watching the video a few times it’s hard to believe this student was actually suspended and charged with harassment for what seemed like pretty innocuous behavior.  But this is Connecticut, the so called “constitution state” and anything can happen there.  Watch video of the incident below.

Nicholas Saucier, a college student at Asnuntuck Community College videoed a conversation about recent gun control legislation that passed in Connecticut and that put him out of a job after investing his life savings into an ammunition company.  Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy was at the school as part of an ongoing conference.

At the end of the conversation as the Governor was getting in his car Saucier called the governor a “snake”.  Looks like this was enough to get one slapped with a harassment charge and a suspension from school.

The conversation actually occurred back in October of 2013, but Saucier was not allowed to show the video at his hearing, pretty much ensuring that it would not

It has been said that after every horrific tragedy the first step people want to take is to punish the people that didn’t do it.  So it has been in Australia when after a 1996 mass shooting the government went no to ban semi-automatic firearms to keep law abiding citizens from owning them.

Many farmers and people who lived in rural areas had used semi-automatic rifles all their lives and never hurt anyone.  It was a part of their way of life and how they kept their families safe when the police were 30 minutes to an hour away.  These were not “assault weapons” to them, but simple rifles that were NOT military grade.

John Howard, Australia’s Prime Minister at the time, said this about his decisions to ban guns:

On Wednesday Bob Costas decided to flaunt his anti-gun views by challenging any pro gun supporters to a little wager.   NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox decided to accept this bet on Friday.

So here is the bet.  Costas has long been an outspoken critic of gun ownership, especially with athletes.   He bet that if someone were to track defensive gun uses versus gun related violent incidents within athletic circles that the negative stories would out number the positive.

Here are the exact words Costas used when talking with Late Night host Seth Myers,

“Here’s what I would say to anybody who any time they hear the word guns automatically goes off, like, ‘Oh, they’re going to repeal the Second Amendment,’” Costas said. “Let’s make a bet, you and me. Let’s say over the next five years we’ll do a Google search. We’ll have an independent party monitor it. You keep track of how many good and constructive things are associated with athletes having a gun, and I’ll keep track of all the tragedies and criminality and folly. And let’

Don’t look for this news to be plastered all over the major media outlets.   They are too busy reporting on the Fort Hood shootings and doing everything they can to blame gun owners for what happened.

When concealed carry was introduced in Illinois last year it was the last state in the US to finally make it legal for gun owners to carry their concealed weapons.  But anti-gunners everywhere cried out that it would only increase the murder rate and gun violence would shoot through the roof.  Well, once again, the anti-gun activists were wrong.

The numbers have shown a sharp decline in murders in Chicago since concealed carry was brought to Illinois.

The Sun Times Media Wire had to admit this “coincidence” that while concealed carry is in eff

When an armed intruder jumped a fence in Oklahoma little did he know that the wheelchair bound  homeowner would be armed and ready to defend his life and property.

Steven Ferguson is in a wheelchair because of a motorcycle accident when he was a teenager.  But he has a modified holster on his wheelchair that allows him to carry his firearm.

The intruder hoped over the fence of Ferguson’s property and looked into the sunroom where Ferguson was at the time.  That’s when the homeowner said he saw the intruder reaching for his handgun.

But Ferguson’s modified holster allowed him to draw his gun quickly, and he was able to draw his handgun first and fire a shot at the armed intr

Yes, I know.  This guy just won’t go away.  But I guess in order for Piers Morgan to stay relevant he has to make outrageous comments like the tweet he made after the Fort Hood shooting on Wednesday.

The tweet really shows how irrational his argument is and how ignorant of the facts he is as well.

‘If only there’d been a good guy with a gun…’ – such crap. This #FortHood soldier/shooter WAS a good guy. Until he turned bad, with a gun.

In this video the msnbc reporter asks a survivor from the 2009 Fort Hood shootings if more guns or less guns was the answer to the Fort Hood shootings on Wednesday.  Retired Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford responded that more guns was the answer.

Lunsford was shot 7 times in the 2009 Fort Hood shootings and realizes that had the soldiers at the base been armed they would have been able to stop the shooter before he could kill 3 and wound 16 on Wednesday.

Lunsford also points out in the interview that as soon as the military police with guns showed up the shooter quickly stopped shooting others and ended his own life.  It was good guys with guns that ended the killing spree, so why not stop all future shootings by allowing the soldiers to carry their own firearms?  Oh but that’s too logical for our anti-gun friends to understand.

A response time of 15 minutes is simply unacceptabl

We need sheriffs like this in EVERY county in the U.S.  Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke gave an unforgettable and passionate speech for gun rights that the anti-gun movement absolutely hates.

The speech took place at a USCCA Open House Event held in West Bend, Wisconsin.   Clarke is known for his ads and public service announcements that advocate for citizens to arm themselves and protect themselves since the police cannot be everywhere at once.  He stresses he does not want a police state.  He simply wants people to be able to exercise their 2nd amendment rights when secon

Strict gun regulations did not stop the gunman from going on a shooting spree, killing 3 and wounding at least 16 at Fort Hood yesterday.  A veritable “gun free zone” did not stop a crazed shooter from taking innocent lives.

But what these strict gun regulations did do was stop these brave soldiers from being able to defend themselves.  And that’s what gun laws do.  They stop the law abiding from their God-given right to defend themselves while the criminals and mentally unstable ignore the laws and take innocent lives.

Army officials have confirmed that the shooter used an unregistered gun at Fort Hood.  All guns are supposed to be registered with the base with the proper documentation being shown at the gate, and even then most are not able to get the proper clearance to carry guns on base.

Instead of relying on military police to arr

After being told he is free to go, Henry Vichique, 19, probably thought the whole incident would be over soon, but just a couple minutes later he was getting hit with a taser and was detained for 5 hours.

The San Antonio man was walking near his home while open carrying his rifle.  Under Texas law this is perfectly legal.  But according to police who showed up on the scene it was against a local ordinance to carry a rifle within the city limits.

The whole incident was captured on video as police ordered Vichique to the ground to which he replies, “I’m not doing anything wrong, sir.”

One of the officers claimed that he was getting complaints that Vichique was pointing his gun at people.  Vichique denied he was pointing his gun at anybody but was safely carrying it on his walk.

Vichique explained that the rifle he was carrying was loaded and he carried on a fairly cordial conversation with one of the officers who told him,

“You are not under arrest. You are free to go,” the cop sa

Details are still sketchy from an active shooter situation that took place today at Fort Hood.  But again we have a tragic shooting in a place where guns are strictly regulated.  We have just discovered from an interview with a General at the base that the shooter used an unregistered gun to carry out these lethal attacks.

Gun rules were tightened after the 2009 shootings at Fort Hood in which Major Nidal Hassan killed 13 and wounded 32 after he had become a radical Muslim.  These new rules required both soldiers and civilians to register their weapons and declare them at the gate.   So each gun would have to be declared and a registration piece of paper would have to be shown.

The shooter in this case used an unregistered .45 Smith & Wesson and had already broken the rules by just entering the base with his weapon.

At least 4 are dead, including the shooter, and 14 are injured after a man dressed in full soldier uniform began shooting at the Ford Hood military base.   So far sources are saying that the incident was not related to terrorism and was a “soldi

We are told again and again by the anti-gunners that no one is really talking about confiscating firearms.  But in this video a protestor against the New York SAFE Act can’t even keep his fake plastic rifle or cardboard rifle from being confiscated.

At a pro-gun rally in Albany,  New York a speaker can be seen speaking out against oath breakers who took an oath to uphold the constitution and then break it with unconstitutional gun laws that protect no one.

If they will confiscate a fake plastic rifle in broad daylight do you really think they will not also go after real rifles when the time comes?
