WSFA reports that the intruder tried several entry points, including through his kid’s bedroom window. That’s when the homeowner fired on his hitting the suspect in…
I do my best to post any firearm recalls and safety bulletins that I find to help get the word out. This one caught my eye, especially because I have a Ruger SR22 and have had it for years.

I’d much rather report on stories where the armed citizen prevails, but sometimes we have ones like this. A 21-year-old man with a Minnesota concealed carry permit walked to his car with food…
These headlines aren’t surprising given the rising crime in Philadelphia. After a quick search, we’ve covered at least nine stories this year so far where armed citizens fought back (see links below.) According to a report by Philly Mag, from 2017 through 2020, there were between 11-12,000 concealed carry applications per year. Guess how many there were in 2021? 70,789!…
