Concealed Nation

We teach to avoid conflict, and do whatever possible to deescalate a bad situation. That’s not on everyone’s mind, though, and provoking or escalating an already tense situation can lead to terrible outcomes.

The video below shows a domestic dispute between two men, and things get out of control in just seconds. Walking away, not poking the bear, and remaining calm are all things that would have likely resulted in all parties going home at the end of that day.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — A suspect is dead after police say he was shot and killed by one of the people he was trying to rob. It happened near a U-Haul facility Monday night and while details are slim, this seems to be a solid case of self-defense.

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA — I’ve lived in Florida now for 5 years, and I can absolutely confirm that ‘Florida Man’ is a thing.

Police say a man entered a WaWa gas station in Clearwater and asked the clerk for some free food. When he was denied, he allegedly pulled out a knife and attempted to take a Snickers bar.

“Don’t make me do something stupid for a Snickers bar,” the suspect said to the clerk.

Things aren’t looking good for conventions again with another rise in covid cases, which forced last year’s NRA Convention to be canceled, as well as SHOT Show which takes place in Vegas every January.

Further, exhibitors are pulling out, citing concerns with being in confined spaces with thousands of people. The last thing they want is to bring covid back to their facilities.

And as if that’s not enough, let’s not forget….

DETROIT, MICHIGAN – A chaotic early morning encounter at a motel left three men in critical condition after a fight, vehicular assault, and shooting. According to police, a 27-year-old woman was involved in an argument with her boyfriend around 1 a.m. at a motel on Grand River Avenue near West Seven Mile Road.

She called her brothers to come over, presumably for moral support. When the brothers, ages 21 and 24, rolled up, the boyfriend exited the motel and opened fire on them.

Road rage is something that happens every single day, and sometimes it can turn violent in a hurry. A driver was attempting to merge onto a road when another vehicle was doing the same thing.

“As they traveled northbound, the Jeep’s driver continued to honk so our victim took the Ballinger Way exit to avoid a freeway confrontation,” authorities said.

Moments later, the driver of the Jeep sped ahead of the other driver and stopped.

With those hot summer days upon us, we’ve been getting a lot of Facebook questions about how safe it is to keep a gun locked up in a car. Many of the questions relate to whether or not the ammunition will self-ignite or whether a round may go off in the chamber.

Let’s dispel a myth right now: your car will not get up to the temperature needed for ammunition to begin cooking off.

Grandma means business. Grandma with a shotgun means double business.

A pair of armed robbers learned quickly that this establishment was not one to be messed with. Not only did grandma come out and point her shotgun, her husband drew his pistol and shot the man, sending him to the ground in a hurry.

The risks were great with this incident, however, because the armed bad guy was pointing his shotgun directly at those people inside, and could have easily ended one or more of their lives.

I’m not sure what alerted this man to someone outside, but he acted quickly when a hand started coming through the mail slot in an attempt to open the door.

When you watch the video below, it’s tough not to flinch as soon as you realize how that must have felt to the guy on the other side of the door!

I’m not sure if this is an apartment complex or business, or something else entirely, but just make sure that you know what’s going on before taking action like this.

Was it an attempted mass shooting? Who knows.

Are Americans preparing for a civil war? I hear this question raised by people who have heard of the unprecedented number of private purchases of weapons and ammunition currently underway in the United States. This is compounded by a belief that some individuals are accumulating so much of this stuff that the weapons/ammunition supply chain can’t keep up with the demand.

Good news! HB 259, Florida’s Church Carry bill, has been signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis (R).

With HB 259 now signed into law, religious institutions are no longer automatically listed as gun-free zones by the state if they choose to offer daycare services, run a parochial school, or rent/lease space from a school to hold services. 

Religious institutions are now free to make that choice on their own if they wish to be gun-free zones.

For those who aren’t aware, the federal license to legally possess an automatic gun is extremely expensive, and they definitely don’t hand them out like candy.

I doubt the man in the video below has a license for this.

In a “Holy $HIT!!” moment, drivers found themselves right in the middle of a few thugs who had some beef with a car up ahead. In true thug fashion, they hop out of their car and begin shooting.

QUEENS, NEW YORK — In a rare case of legal gun ownership, the gun owner uses his firearms for evil.
