  1. On the woman that thought she found candles, sounds like what she had was an M-80 type of fireworks. We used to shoot these when I was a teenage back in the 60’s and back then, we were very careful around them. If it had been dynamite, she would have been killed instead of just losing her hand. By the way, with the M-80’s, some of my high school friends used to fish with them too.

  2. RE: Well Armed Militia. The closest we come in America to a militia as our Founding Fathers knew it is the State Guard. Twenty-two US States or Territories have a State Guard organization in addition to their National Guard units. The State Guard acts as a core around which the Unorganized Militia can coalesce when called up by the Governor.

    Most are organized along Army lines, follow Army Regulations, wear Army uniforms with State Guard patches and name tapes, and report to the Governor thru the State Adjutant General.

    Most train for Disaster Relief missions, and are activated for hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and tornado clusters. For Hurricane Katrina, some nine States activated part or all of their State Guard.

    http://www.sgaus.org has more information.

  3. It was reported that the Dallas Apartment house used FOBS for their doors. Unless the victim and officer interacted in some way, the FOB would have prevented unauthorized entry…However, if the FOB was a managers masterkey, that would explain how she got in.

  4. The article on the poor unfortunate woman blowing her hand off is a good example of the uninformed press passing along bogus information. This tragic accident is what happens when the ignorant abound. Being familiar with dynamite from years of managing a mine, I can assure what she had was not dynamite. I am betting on the m-80 theory. Evan if it was dynamite a 1/4 stick it would have removed a lot more of her body than her hand. Liberals will always tell you that education is the answer to all our problems. How come they do such a poor job of it. School is not the only place for education to take place and the media appears to be awash in ignorance and the lack of actual factual reporting isn’t helping the uninformed. Journalism is certainly going down hill rapidly. Might be the education system?

  5. What stood out to me in Jacob G. Hornberger’s article was not so much the “well armed militia” opinion, but that the the God-given rights are are why the liberals/globalists/elitists etc., are trying to take God out of everything. If TPTB convince people there is no God, then in their way of thinking, there are no God-given rights. Since the American Constitution upholds these God-given rights to all people, TPTB cannot take them away unless they can remove God from all things.

  6. Another Wrongful Death
    “…they asked the Texas rangers to participate in the investigation to avoid any conflict of interest.”
    While I’m skeptical that this does separate this potential conflict of interest, it remains dot guv investigating itself, I’m shocked, seriously very shocked that a PD in this day and age would even do this. Good for them. Maybe, just maybe, there really are good cops left.

    Heroes
    This is straight out of the commie manifesto, as is all of the statue removal and degradation of our patriarch forebearers. If you remove a peoples History they won’t know who they are.

    Single Stack Pistols
    “You will run out of time before you run out of ammo and misses take up the most time.” – Tom Givens
    John Correia, has said that after analyzing 5000 or more self defense videos he has only seen somebody HAVE TO reload once. I don’t want to misquote, it might 2 or three but statistically it’s several places to the right of the decimal.
    He also states, pay attention this is critical!, first shot landed wins the gunfight every time, regardless of caliber. This means that, Time to Muzzle On Target and Accurate Fire are the MOST IMPORTANT things in a gunfight. Givens’ is correct. While the caliber wars sure are funny, that time spent arguing online about stopping power would be better spent practicing Drawing your weapon and hitting a paper plate 3 times right-quick at 7 yards, than blathering with your webz ‘friends’.
    Having said all that, I carry more than 2 dozen rounds, always. Living in the day of this invasion by 7th century barbarian hordes, er, invited guest refugees; I think multiple simultaneous shooters is on the event horizon for us.

    Inequality
    Uh, no, this isn’t a sign of moral bankruptcy, well in a sense it’s morally bankrupt but only because it’s Idolatry. This too is straight out of the commie manifesto. Remember, Communism is a religion at this point, a false Idol.

    Militia
    See all those cops running around with MRAPs? There is your standing army.

    Wow, I have an opinion about everything today. Hmmm? Oh, the part about Time to Muzzle On Target and hitting a paper plate at 7 yards is not opinion.

  7. RE: Another Wrongful Death

    The lock not opening might be the first clue something was wrong. This strikes me as a case of shoot first and ask questions later by another police officer. If anyone else on this board did something like that, we would be arrested on the spot and charged with breaking and entering and murder. The Rangers are withholding charges until they can get her side of the story. Again, do you think if you were in the same circumstances they would wait to issue charges so you could tell your story?

  8. The phrase is a ‘well-regulated militia’, meaning a group of people trained in the use of firearms and accustomed to working together. ‘Militia’ refers to the whole body of the people EXCEPT government officials, typically men 15-60 years of age. In practice they carried muskets equivalent to those issued to the standing army, but there were no restrictions against private ownership of heavier weapons, e.g., cannon.

  9. O lived in Connecticut prior to fleeing to a much more free state. The searching of surrounding homes does not surprise me a bit, police there seem to have a storm trooper mentality, and not only hold the 2nd Amendment in low disregard, they also do not ho!d the 4th Amendment in high regard.

    The political culture there has allowed this.

  10. The cop who shot her neighbor in his own house will walk away Scott free. The fact that she was in the wrong house is simply a mistake on her part so no crime there. The fact that she used deadly force will not go against her because she will just simply say “I couldn’t see his hands and I felt that my life was in danger.” A jury who has been brain washed into believing that all cops are heroes and here to protect us and are all model citizens will quickly vote to exonerate her. Why even bother to go to trial on this one?

  11. We should have women in women’s roles and men in mens roles. There’s too many mistakes. Look at those women pilots crack up Navy fighting jets the woman astronaut loosing the bag of tools on a space walk and this female officer being scared and discharging her weapon Then Woman damaging corporate jobs. There’s too man lawsuits abortions divorces male terminations and male incarcerations placing women in a man’s role. We need more women filling the woman role in society.

  12. Methinks there may have been some misplaced romantic inclinations. Otherwise how did she get the key to his door. These keys are supposed to be usable only in the issued lockset.
