And the South Florida Hits keep coming: Homeowner shoots intruder, 1 at large
Bad night for Bad Guys:
NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) — Police said two men broke into a home and the homeowner shot and killed one of them. The other remains at large…..
…..Investigators said a home invasion led to the shooting. They said a 19-year-old male homeowner shot and killed the intruder. The intruder’s accomplice fled the scene. “I think I heard several shots, like six or seven, possibly eight.” said Li. “I don’t know they were just

When Bullies Cry.
Real men use their fists, not guns
Remembering a time when disputes could be settled without turning deadly
One of the constant comments I heard from people who carry is that it has made them more peaceful as in more tolerant to extensive dosages of bovine manure coming from idiots. I know I felt the same thing and it is based on the fact that we are now under a higher set of rules of behavior and that we do not need growl and thump our chests trying to prove we are “badder” than our opponent and see if he blinks or cedes.
I’ll speak for myself here. I found out that the best way to finish an argument with somebody who was way too much ego invested in the discussion is to simply say “You are right” in a polite manner and walk away. I have no problem with my ego being “bruised” if I lose an argument because I will probably forget about it in the next hour or so, maybe less.
When i hear or read somebody like the author of that article complaining stating that :Real men use their fists” I cannot help but think it is a Bully loudly complaining about not being able to bully anymore because it can turn expensive. Well shit, that is exactly why I carry. If you see me and wrongly assume I can be beaten to a pulp for your ego-enhancement pleasure, you are making a grave mistake because I will not be allowed to be harmed.
Simple solution: If you are a bully and are afraid somebody can shoot you, then stop bullying people!

Captain John Sheridan: Never start a fight; but always finish it.

One Dead In Hollywood Gas Station Shootout « CBS Miami
Just before midnight two males stormed into the Exxon gas station at 5190 South State Road 7, not far from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and one started shooting. The clerk behind the counter grabbed his gun and fired back.
One of the would-be robbers was shot and died in the store.

Another example of Victim-Selection failure. It’s Hard Out Here for a Criminal.

Black Rain Ordnance AK-47 PROTOTYPE Rifle
One of the biggest surprises (for me anyway) was finding out that Neosho, MO custom AR-15 company Black Rain Ordnance is trying their hand at custom CNC machined AK-47/AKM pattern rifles. And a sick rifle it is.
With all components CNC machined from the ground up and re-thought from top to bottom save for basic AK function, the Black Rain AK Prototype dubbed “FREEDOM FIGHTER” is ridiculously accurate at 100 yards (I rang the 1/3 silhouette standing from a Trijicon ACOG with boring routine), reliable, and while rock solid is a bit on the heavy side.
I want so bad….
Another one to the list of rifles that I must have. I must be weird, I do like the AK variants over the AR platform for some reason.
The Rifle Want/Must Have List now:
Ruger 10-22 (Will buy this year come hell or high water.
Savage Axis (will make it an inexpensive scout rifle)
Carbine-sized Lever Action in .357 Magnum.
Black Rain AK.

Competitive Shooting will get you killed in Real Life…. yeah, sure.
“We just did what we had to do to survive,” he said. “They were going to murder us.”
Lee said he is a member of the National Rifle Association who has taken part in handgun and rifle competitions.
via Robber faced Madera pharmacist who’s an expert shooter – Local – fresnobee.com.
Did a quick check and Mr. Lee appears to be (or was) an IDPA competitor in California. According to a match result in 2004, he is (was) CDP Sharpshooter which dovetails with the firearm he used to defend his life.
And yes, this is another story of defensive use of a gun that will not make it in Big News.
