Perps never suspect the bread deliveryman
A Georgia Hardee's is being robbed, a woman screams for help, a man delivering buns retrieves his gun from the delivery truck and shoots the robber.
Thoughts on the history of the AR-15
Right here. His thought that the AR-15 popularity was due to an act of Bill Clinton (and not the signing of the "Assault Weapons Ban," either) is interesting.

So much for the justice system protecting you
Story here.
January 2009: he's arrested, probably for attempted murder, or at least agg assault on the lady. He's released on $25,000 bond.
Feb. - March: he returns and chokes her, calls her over a hundred times with threats to murder her in front of her children.
August: more of the same. His bond is increased to $150,000. (Sounds like prosecutor didn't ask for the increase until this point).
March 2010-April 2011: he's in jail. Reason not explained, likely it was for the above, in which event a dangerous individual got a one-year sentence for a serious violent crime.
May 2011: upon release, he beats her and threatens her. Arrest warrant issued but not served.
May 2012: calls her over a hundred times with threats. Breaks into her house. Is arrested on the year-old warrant. Released a few months later, presumably after posting bond.
August 2012: he breaks in. She calls 911, it takes half an hour before officers are informed. They arrive, find house locked and quiet, cell phone does not pick up, and leave. Her body is found by her family two days later.
Supreme Court lets ruling in favor of Armslist stand

Hat tip to Alice Beard....
Czech parliament to EU Council: Stuff it!
Story here.
"It means that the approximately 360,000 licensed gun-owners in the Czech Republic are allowed to carry their weapons in public and use them in case of a public order emergency, such as terrorism."
The proposal for a constitutional amendment was approved 139-29. But they shouldn't have modeled it on the 1780 Massachusetts right to arms, but on the 1776 version used by Pennsylvania. Still, this is Europe, and we must give them time to get up to speed, even if they are two centuries late.
Former head of Brady Campaign converts!
Story here.
"I'm here because I've seen how all of you decent, responsible, law-abiding gun owners are relentlessly, and I believe unfairly, demonized."
"I'm here because I've seen firsthand how an ideological hatred of guns and the people who own them is more important to some people than the actual goal of saving lives."
He left Brady because "I had a lot of issues with a lot of people who thought they were on my side," who would tell him "I think we should get rid of all the guns."
