“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Can You Use Deadly Force to Protect Your Pet?

by Doris Wise Montrose on May 29, 2023

Many will find this of interest.

Can you use deadly force to protect your pet? The answer is yes, no, maybe. This is a common question I hear from people and one that came up in a Texas instructors class recently.

We all love our pets; a dog is man’s best friend. Whenever I give the legal answer to protecting your pet, the conversation becomes heated, and as an animal lover, I understand why. Remember, I don’t make the laws; I am here to help keep you out of trouble.

Depending on where you live and the situation, you may or may not be allowed to use deadly force to protect your pet. In the eyes of the law, pets are usually viewed as property and not as family members. Generally, using deadly force to protect personal property (including pets) is not legally justified. The law typically only permits deadly force to defend human life in situations of imminent threat. But there are exceptions and nuances to these laws that can vary greatly depending on where you live.
