How would you feel if your kid’s school required you to tell them how many guns you owned and where and how they were stored? It sounds like an invasion of privacy, right? Well, that’s what one California lawmaker proposed in a bill that thankfully just failed. Sen. Anthony Portantino introduced Senate Bill 906 would have required just that. Parents…
One young man was killed, and another is in the hospital after a shootout last Thursday. Unfortunately, the deceased was the victim with a concealed carry permit. 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!…

A criminal entered a Philadelphia convenience store around 12:30 PM this past Wednesday. He was armed with a handgun and attempted to rob the store to make off with some quick cash. Unbeknownst to him, a customer in the store had a valid Pennsylvania concealed carry permit and a gun on him as well. The customer drew on the suspect…
Concealed carry comes with a big responsibility. In defending yourself and your loved ones, you may take someone else’s life (the attacker.) But what happens when the attacker IS a loved one such as what happened in this incident? Would you be prepared to defend yourself and your spouse from your son? Earlier this week around 5:30 PM, a 21-year-old…
A Michigan homeowner is still shaken up after shooting and killing an armed intruder early this morning, telling the media he “had to do it.” Shortly after midnight, a man and his wife saw a man knocking out the windows of his truck. They told the suspect to get away, but that only caused him to move toward the house.…
Once again, a passenger on public transportation has been shot in what police have ruled as self-defense. In Tallahassee, Florida, a 69-year-old City Taxi driver decided to take “one more fare” before heading home, according to police reports. He picked up an 18-year-old who needed to go to Walmart to cash a check from work, and during the drive, the…
