HBecwithFn7 296 Posted July 7, 2014 "Veteran With Concealed Carry Permit Shoots Back At Chicago Gunman" http://news.yahoo.com/veteran-concealed-carry-permit-shoots-back-chicago-gunman-031804649.html "Had Friday’s shooting occurred a little more than a year ago, the veteran would not have been legally permitted to conceal carry his firearm..." And they won't go as far as to say defend himself and his friends. Ugh. Of course, they won't. They don't want to plant the mindset that carrying for HD/SD is a "good" thing..... They want to spin it as if the veteran was committing some kind of crime.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtonian 453 Posted July 26, 2014 If you follow the right news sources you will read 3-4 of these per day. And those are just the ones that make the news. Try "The Gun Wire" for starters. According to government stats this sort of thing is VERY common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to government stats this sort of thing is VERY common. That's just it.... the problem is that the "sheeples" don't know these "riight" news sources exist. They only know the MSM. And the MSM is dead set against airing these kinds of stories . I have yet to see one of the "big three" networks (i.e. National News programs) air the story of the Philly psychiatrist. I have seen a few AP and other Internet news articles about it... most of which (except FOX News) are quick to bring up the hospital's "no guns except active LEO" policy... If we had a way to deliver *our* content with *our* spin on it to as many as the MSM can, we'd truly be in business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMJeepster 2,777 Posted July 30, 2014 "86-year-old won't be charged in concealed carry shooting, prosecutors say" http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-cops-concealed-carry-permit-holder-shoots-at-armed-robbery-suspect-20140728,0,2605611.story ------ Authorities have decided not to file charges against an 86-year-old Crestwood man who fired his legal weapon at an armed robbery suspect who was fleeing police, the Cook County state’s attorney’s office said today. The man, whom authorities would not identify, is licensed to carry a concealed gun in public, officials said. Authorities described him as a “model citizen” in Crestwood, a village of 11,000 residents in south suburban Cook County. The permit holder told police he was about to enter an AT&T store at 4756 W. Cal-Sag Road around noon on Saturday when he noticed the store was being robbed, Crestwood police said in a statement. The man stayed outside to prevent anyone from entering, police said, and after he saw the suspect leaving through a back door, entered the store and chased him. A police officer also was pursuing the suspect but had to duck for cover when the shots were fired. No one was injured. Assistant State’s Attorney Dan Kirk said the Crestwood Police Department declined to file charges and the state’s attorney sees no reason to pursue it further. “This is an 86-year-old law-abiding individual who comes across a forcible felony in progress … and helped others avoid being victims,” said Kirk. The suspect, Demetrius Merrill, 17, of Chicago, was charged with armed robbery and held on $1 million bail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeremyP 0 Posted August 20, 2014 NRA News Cam & Co has a Deal and Hero of the day just about every episode. Hero of the day highlights a story about defensive firearm use. Deal of the day highlights the usual story of a criminal being on parole, probation, or having plea bargained his way out of prison going on to commit more violent crimes.

SJG 253 Posted October 17, 2014 In NJ remember these words, and if you choose to speak: "I was in fear for my life" they should be repeated frequently. The case will be presented to the Grand Jury, no matter how justified the shooting was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
