“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.

Where Is Your Home-Defense Gun?

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 22, 2024

The best locations for staging firearms differ as much as firearm preferences.

Far too many home invasions have one thing in common: The attack starts as one of the exterior doors is breached and only then do the residents realize they are under attack. This is when the dreaded “Run-For-Your-Life” begins, when one of the homeowners takes off down the hall, running for the bedroom to retrieve their stored home-defense gun. Then, amid the chaos, they have to dig it out of the night stand or the bedroom closet. And, after all of that, they sometimes even have to load it. It is amazing that some folks actually survive after all of that and, sadly, some people don’t.

Given the fact that people spend very few of their waking hours in the bedroom, it would seem the bedroom is not a logical place to keep your home-defense gun. There is just bound to be a better way. Let’s look at some options that are far more practical.

Keeping in mind that a home invasion will go down very quickly, the best place for a defense gun is on your person, just like it is when you are out on the street. Simply put, no other method allows for the homeowner to respond quicker to an attack. A quick draw stroke may put an end to the encounter simply because the crook realizes that he or she has hit the wrong house and suddenly becomes intent on beating feet. If not, well, you are certainly ready to deal with the problem in a more forceful manner.
