After extensive study, it can now be reported that good guys with guns increases the odds of neutralizing a threat from bad guys. Lots of data was analyzed. Many volunteers participated.
Peer review is expected to sustain the findings. But the media will likely continue to confuse victims of crime with criminals and be slow to report the frequent superior survivability an individual has when willing to act like he or she has an instinct for self-protection.
More and more people are seeing the value in being legally armed to protect themselves, and their families against the thugs, druggies, and users of today. Plenty of dead, wounded and scared shitless punks.
Unfortunately, no Name Scrabbler (Home or Professional version) was involved in the events described by reporters.
READ CLOSER, THE PIKE COUNTY INDIANA AND LONDON OHIO STORYS. They each have 1 named DRT, Brian White and Justin G. Coffey.
I love the smell of DRT’s in the morning!

That Georgia boy needed to go Center Mass on Corey Heard, but unfortunately he didn’t know that Corey Heard had raped a 13-year-old girl.
In other news, we had a bank robbery in our little town yesterday, but they caught the perp within two hours. One thing about small towns – someone knows your face, and where you live.
That’s a lot going on for a Wed. morning. No comment. I think I went out too early from my upper respiritory infection which was not the flu, so yesterday, the temp went up a little, so I am self restricting myself to my place along with my Sister who also has the same thing.
