Barack Obama and John Kerry: Geese of a Feather

By Gerard Valentino Barack Obama is on the campaign trail touting his support for the Second Amendment as an individual right to bear arms - a laughable assertion by a candidate who has tried to reshape himself as a moderate liberal once he secured the Democratic nomination for president. Luckily, for gun owners, Obama is more concerned with power than policy so he is unlikely to go after guns...

Philly police chief trains people to be sheep; Complains when they won't fight a wolf

By Jeff Riley On Sept 10th, 2008 I watched in dumbfounded amazement a Today Show news report covering the vicious beating of an unarmed man on the Philadelphia subway. The victim was attacked by a man wielding a hammer and took place over a 5 minute period all the while approximately ten onlookers watched but did not intervene. The surveillance video shows the attacker placing a young boy in a...

The Colt that got away

By Tim Inwood Recently at a gun show, I was looking over an old US service 1911 .45 pistol. Its serial number was low and the gun itself in only fair condition. The seller said the previous owner claimed the gun had been used in the Mexican Punitive Expedition in 1916. This comment brought back a flood of memories about why I have an interest in these early Colts. When I was a boy, we would...

"No-guns" DQ employees pistol-whipped, shot trying to follow robber's orders

By Chad D. Baus The same anti-self-defense crowd that encourages businesses to post "no-guns" signs as a means of promoting "safety" is also fond of saying that the best way to avoid being hurt by a criminal is to just give them what they want, and wait for the police to get there. But once again, persons forced to work in the gun ban extremists' version of a "safe working environment" have found...

Leftist blog calls on Obama to bring gun control back to the campaign trail

By Chad D. Baus Even while former Joyce Foundation board member Barack Obama seeks to cover up his anti-gun past with empty platitudes about an individual right to bear arms that can be "common-sense" limited into oblivion, and while his supporters attempted to make the case that the Supreme Court's ruling on D.C. v. Heller made “Guns a Non-Issue” in the Presidential campaign , there is at least...

Ohio elitists react to Castle Doctrine: "Innocent until proven guilty", OH MY!

By Chad D. Baus When is "innocent until proven guilty" a controversial concept? When is an Ohio law designed to protect a homeowner protecting themselves from an intruder interpreted a license for drug dealers to murder one another? And when are self-defense advocates and rank-and-file cops described as saying it's ok to shoot first and ask questions later? When you are a reporter for the...

“It's on the other foot now!”

Dear Mr. or Ms. Bad Person, The time has finally come that the “shoe is on the other foot”. For many, many years it was my responsibility to prove myself “justified” in using lethal force when you broke into my castle in the wee hours of the night. If you were injured, maimed, or even killed while you performed your illegal activities, you or your family could sue me personally for your injuries...

CAUTION: Erroneous media reports on Ohio Castle Doctrine implementation

The Cincinnati Enquirer has published a poorly-worded and erroneous article about the implementation of Ohio's Castle Doctrine bill, Senate Bill 184, and the Associated Press wire service has picked up the story and replicated a significant error at news outlets across the state and beyond. From the original Enquirer story , by Jennifer Baker: Changes take effect Monday that will make it easier...
