    I know I slacked off at the end of last year, I will try to do better. Meanwhile feel free to add stories you find. Let's start with Florida.

    I like the sheriffs comments.

    For those of you who don't have a gun for self defense....how do you suppose trying to talk to the assailants would have gone?

    Ski Mask......hmmmmm. Oh also from Florida.

    Or perhaps I assumed deed took place in Australia, given it's from Australia News.
    I was in quick fire mode, reflecting what being disarmed and defenseless looks like.

    A very good demonstration of why a gun is called an "EQUALIZER"
    http://concealednation.org/2016/01/...-200lb-attacker-with-her-pocket-carry-pistol/
    As a firearms and CCH instructor I am a firm believer in equalization. Criminals typically don't choose victims twice their size and half their age (if they do guess what they use.....yup you guessed it, an equalizer). If given the choice, I would rather my wife defend herself or others with a gun than her fists.

    Let the guy go? Well I wasn't there so I can't judge, I don't have to live with the decision, he does, all in all it had a good outcome. Thank God he had an equalizer though.

    A homeowner in St. Cloud, Fla. was at home with his family and a friend when he heard a suspicious noise. The homeowner retrieved a gun, went to investigate, and came upon someone trying to break into the house. The homeowner responded by ordering the intruder to leave. When the home invader did not comply, the homeowner shot the criminal during a struggle. The home invader, who an investigation revealed had a significant criminal history, later died at a hospital. (Orlando Sentinel, Orlando, Fla. 12/24/15)

    The home invader had a criminal history..... imagine that.

    We call those people "Floridiots". Nothing personal. We just hear so many stories on the radio and too many happen in Florida. I guess crime doesn't pay there.

    Our shooting ranges are always packed with shooters waiting their turn.
    I believe we also have the most CCWs of any state.

    I don't know if it's the most or not, but either way the number keeps rising. That's a good thing. Bad thing, in my opinion, is the "live fire qualification"(if you can call it that) that so many do. You know what I mean; it involves a clearing barrel, & 3 hours at certain events. I word it like that so it keeps the majority of the left guessing what in referring to.

    My firearm proficiency test is considerably more than clearing the barrel. But I know what you mean.
