Yes, there is a such thing as good gun control
….and this is it right here:
An Orange County man is recovering after a shootout in front of his home.
It happened around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 1800 block of Pomegranate Court.
Police said the homeowner, Dave Henry, had just returned home from work and was pulling into his garage when he saw a suspicious car near his home.
That's when they said two suspects got out of the car and tried to rob the homeowner.
However, Henry pulled out his own gun and a shootout started.
One of the suspects, identified as David Lee Butler, 37, was shot and killed by Henry. The other suspect got away.
Police said Henry had a concealed weapons permit and is not facing any charges.

The video that is at this story location says the home owner is in the hospital; but is expected to make a full recovery. If it were left to the liberals, this man would have been robbed or dead; or even maybe both.
Thank the Lord God in Heaven for that wonderful second amendment. 😀

The freaking Awesomely Awesome Obligatory Hot Chick Shooting every damn thing under the sun with a whole bunch of guns posting
Now this pretty damn cool and the chick shooting ain’t half bad looking either!
I’d hit it. I mean, the chick, not the guns. 😉 On second thought. I’d flirt with her and my luck she’d shoot my butt. 😯
Military Scopes being sold by Michigan supplier have Holy Scriptures references on them, liberals horrified
The idiot story of the day:
Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.
At the end of the serial number on Trijicon’s ACOG gun sight, you can read “JN8:12”, a reference to the New Testament book of John, Chapter 8, Verse 12, which reads: “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” The ACOG is widely used by the U.S. military.
The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.
U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious “Crusade” in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents.
One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as “the light of the world.” John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

AWESOME! Expresso Operator thwarts a would-be robber, with 9 mm Kel-Tec
Woo Hoo! I LOVE stories like this one! 😀

The Story via KTVB-TV in Idaho: (H/T to Freda)
COEUR D’ALENE — A teen attempting to rob an espresso stand in northern Idaho met his match in a gun totin’ barista.
Police say the 17-year-old confronted Sunshine Espresso owner Michelle Cornelson with a gun at about 6:20 a.m. on Wednesday, demanding all her money.
Cornelson has been hunting since she was a little girl and says she remained calm as a customer pulled up to the other side of her kiosk, distracting the teen.
Cornelson quickly whipped out her 9 mm Kel-Tec firearm — a Christmas present from her husband — scaring the teen off before calling police.
A Kootenai County sheriff’s deputy was nearby after picking up a beverage at the stand and caught the suspect, who was later transported to a juvenile detention center.
Two thumbs up the pretty lady with 9MM! The only true deterrent to crime, is GUNS baby!
Say uncle says:
“Obviosly, compensating for the size of her penis”
HEH! 😆 😀 😛
Anyhow, glad the lady is okay and the kid is alive. Thank God for Guns and for the second amendment! Barry has not taken that right…..yet.
Shoot out at Las Vages Court House, leaves a Federal Court officer Dead
Raw Video:
Not that this situation is even remotely funny. But there was a funny line in this video… “Helluva mornin’ for Jury Duty!” heh!
The Story, Via The Las Vegas Sun:
A federal court officer has died and another is in serious condition after being shot this morning in the lobby of the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse, 333 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
The U.S. Marshals Service says the shooting victims included a deputy U.S. marshal and a court security officer. The Associated Press is reporting that one of the officers has died, although it wasn’t immediately clear which one.
University Medical Center spokesman Rick Plummer said the dead officer was 65 years old.
Metro Police responded at 8:05 a.m. to the shooting, police spokeswoman Barbara Morgan said. FBI Special Agent Joseph Dickey says the gunman died shortly after a shootout.
Before the AP reported one officer’s death, police spokesman Ramon Denby said the officers were in “very serious” condition and undergoing surgery.
Denby said authorities had finished clearing the federal building. A suspicious vehicle on the east side of the courthouse was also cleared and determined not to be a threat.
Las Vegas Boulevard was closed in both directions.
Prayers are with the victims, and with Gunman’s family. I wonder what the story will be on this one. Countdown to Democrats beginning Gun-grabbing legislation in 5….4….3…2…

Pistol Blows up in Deputy's Hand
Oh man, this has to suck… 😯 😮
The Video is over at the story, so, click on over and take a look. This is what bad ammo will do to a gun and to the person firing it.
Via WTOV-TV in West Virginia: (H/T Say Uncle)
MARSHALL COUNTY, W.Va. — At first glance, the Glock 21 Marshall County Chief Deputy Kevin Cecil was handling looked like any other gun. But he pointed out there was no trigger, the gun was cracked and the small metal pins were missing.
“The firearm that one of our officers was using exploded on him,” Cecil said.
Cecil said a Marshall County officer was shooting at the range Tuesday morning when his service weapon literally blew up in his hand during a round of fire.
“The weapon went to the ground, the range officers were yelling for cease-fires,” he said.
Cecil says it was the first time the .45-caliber pistol had ever been used.
“All that energy blew out on the top of his hand. And that’s where his injuries are,” Cecil said.
The deputy is now recovering at home. He’s still undergoing testing to find out the severity of his injuries.
The chief believes bad ammunition caused this bizarre accident, but he’s looking into it further.
Please, head on over and read the rest of that story. My thoughts are with this deputy as he recovers. If I were him, I would be getting a lawyer and suing whomever was responsible for this accident.

The Story via KOCO TV in Oklahoma:
STROUD, Okla. — A man was shot and killed as he broke into a Lincoln County woman’s home, deputies said.
Billy Dean Riley, 53, of Sparks, was drunk and high on some type of opiate at the time of his death on Friday, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies said Riley crashed a vehicle near the home of Donna Jackson, 57, between 12:30 and 12:50 a.m. Friday. Riley went to the back door of Jackson’s home nearby and started to break in.
Jackson told authorities that she picked up a shotgun and called 911.
“There’s a man at my back door. He’s trying to get in,” she said to the dispatcher. “He’s close to the door. I’m going to go ahead and get the gun out.”
“She told him that she was armed and that she had called the police and that he needed to leave,” said Lincoln County Sheriff Chuck Mangion.
In return, deputies said, Riley started screaming vulgarities at the homeowner. He picked up a patio table and threw it through Jackson’s glass patio door.
The dispatcher told Jackson that she was advised to defend her property if she needed to.
Jackson said she fired one shot into Riley’s chest when he started to enter the home.
“I shot. I shot. I’m going out front. I hit him,” she told the dispatcher. “Please, dear God. I think I’ve killed him. Please father in heaven, please father in heaven.”
She cried, expressing concern for Riley and his family.
Riley was pronounced dead by a medical examiner at about 1:50 a.m.
The real great part is this:
Deputies said Jackson is likely to be covered under Oklahoma’s “stand your ground” laws, but the case is still under investigation.
As she should be, my heart goes out to this dear lady who had to make a decision like that; it was truly her or him; and she chose to protect her own life. Thank God for the Gun rights that we as American citizens do have. Something that the liberals in the country want to take away.
