One to the head and 2 to the center of the chest, twice....

A message sent to thieves everywhere.

Good thing he wasn’t in England. He’d be hauled off for assault.

I wish they'd give the gun's make, model, and ammo info in these stories. Who, what, when, where, why, muzzle energy.

Plug one burglar and there is no telling how many crimes were prevented and revenged. Yes, revenged.

Illinois: This once was the land of Lincoln. Now it is the land of Obama, Axelrod and Emanuel. No wonder crime is rising.

Don’t go up to the land of Goshen. It will get you killed.

This is going to happen more and more in even small towns and rural areas as the economy continues to sour, unemployment rises, and people, even some without prior criminal pasts, get more and more desperate. Expect this in a neighborhood near you.

I am a woman and I capture spiders and take them outside instead of squishing them.

Then...came 9/11...and what my wonderful husband, for the 100th time told me sank in. The scales fell from my eyes.

What did he say? “Some people only understand violence.”

I get it now. I am glad this guy protected himself and the other potential victims down the road.

Registered handgun???????? We are losing all our freedoms one by one until we will have none. Our forefathers would be mighty proud of what we have done in such a short time wouldn’t they? What a shame and disgrace!

That’s what I was thinking. Heck, even in MN, we don’t register guns...

A barbarian lurks inside all men.

Only civilization keeps him there. Occasionally the same civilization calls him out to protect himself, his family and his country.

If you purchase a handgun from a retailer that gun is most certainly registered in your name.

City trash is moving out into the suburban areas across the country. Goshen Indiana is no exception.A little later Rural America will need to be ready.And it will be.

The living dead zombies of the city will not have enough victims and will come out like rats out of sewer holes, as all of the hand outs to them begin to vanish.

And if you call ghost busters you will have to take a number and wait.

Hollow points were invented for varmint hunting and varmint were invented for hunting. Two or four legged, doesn’t really make much of a difference.
