A Las Vegas, Nev., woman shot and killed her next-door neighbor, whom she had previously caught burglarizing her home. Felipe Starks was trying to evade police officers, who wanted him in connection with a string of burglaries and a parole violation, by using a crawl space above the two apartments. The woman had just stepped out of her shower when Starks crashed through her ceiling. Fearing for her life, she picked up a gun she had purchased after the burglary in April, and fired several shots at Starks, who ran back into his apartment. Police took him into custody, but he later died of his wounds. Las Vegas homicide Lt. Tom Monahan said it appeared the woman had cause to fear for her life. “If a man fell through the ceiling right after you’re getting out of the shower—I’m told she had just finished drying off—I think it’s reasonable that you would be terrified,” he said. (Las Vegas Review-Journal, Las Vegas, NV, 09/18/03)

James Carter became aware something was not quite right when he noticed someone had damaged his front door. The Augusta, Ga., homeowner told police he then heard a loud noise and that’s when he saw a man standing in his living room. Carter aimed a .357 Mag. revolver at the man and fired three shots, but the intruder escaped. Police investigating the break-in recovered a gray jersey that may have been left by the unwelcome visitor. (The Augusta Chronicle, Augusta, GA, 08/23/03)

A bank robbery went awry when the suspects crashed their getaway car in a Sacramento, Calif., suburb and took off running to evade authorities. Ed Tippets was in his back yard, watching several helicopters bear down on his neighborhood, obviously searching for someone, when he noticed his dog, Charley, was acting strange. “That’s when I decided to get armed,” he told authorities. Tippets recalled that he went to the back of his house to load his gun and then began searching room to room. Moving toward the kitchen, Tippets noticed a shoulder in the doorway of his laundry room. “I saw a pistol pointing at me, so I started firing,” he said. The homeowner then ran outside where he was ordered to the ground by police. The suspect, later identified as Jermain Blair, fled the house and tried to escape by jumping several fences. Blair confronted two police officers who had given chase and was shot in the leg. A police task force is investigating 13 other local bank robberies that may be linked to Blair.

An Orem, Utah, man nearly had his ticket punched when he attempted to rob a Greyhound bus station. The man handed the clerk at the station a note demanding money. The clerk, who has a CCW permit, drew a gun and held the would-be robber at gunpoint until authorities arrived. The suspect was charged with attempted robbery and public intoxication.

In an odd turn of events, a Decatur, La., man shot an intruder and then administered first aid to the wounded suspect. Ronald Kirk was awakened just before dawn one Sunday by an intruder. Kirk shot the would-be burglar in the leg and dialed 9-1-1. The homeowner then applied pressure to the wound to slow the bleeding until police arrived. The suspect, Robert Lee Goode, was taken to the hospital, and later charged with second-degree burglary and possession of burglar’s tools. (The Huntsville Times, Huntsville, AL, 09/15/03)

Justin Doyle was roused at11 p.m. one night by loud banging on his back door. In order to protect his pregnant wife and 19-month-old child who were at home, Doyle retrieved his rifle while his wife dialed 9-1-1. Suddenly a glass door was smashed in with a cinder block and a man with a knife burst into their home. Doyle shot the home invader once in the torso, killing him. Police later identified the suspect as Manuel Villa. “The law allows citizens to use deadly force to protect their homes, lives and property,” said police spokesman Jeff Arbogast. “Out of fear for his life, and the lives of his family, Mr. Doyle armed himself with a rifle and shot the intruder. It’s a tragic event to have to go through.” (Albuquerque Journal, Albuquerque, NM, 08/22/03)

Two men entered Wesley Stevens’ Tucson, Ariz., home one night, then attacked Stevens. The homeowner picked up a revolver and fired several shots at the intruders, according to Sgt. Marco Balboa, Tucson Police Department spokesman. Balboa said the reason for the attack was unclear. One of the assailants was found dead at the scene, the other died of gunshot wounds at a local hospital. (Mohave Valley Daily News, Tucson, AZ, 09/16/03)

Why? The NRA posts it. They give permission to reproduce it, also, I believe. They're not trying to make money from their mag, they're trying to get the word out.

Well, basically that is a violation of the copyright... 'I believe' is not enough ;)
I could make an article for free, put it up on a website for everyone to view without charges or sign ups etc.
However it'd be still copyright violation if someone would without a permission copy it to some public forum.
Then again I could give a permission to reproduce it, but that would be usually visible somewhere on the site... or I could give a permission for certain inviduals to reproduce it.
....or I could simply ignore the copyright violation.
Although in US this would be viewed negatively in the court if I would suddenly charge someone for copyright violation, after failed to protect the copyright on regular basis.

if i remember correctly they want this part of the magazine circulated so they explicitly give promission to use it to promote home/self defence firarms.
they want you to do exactly what he did with it.
i wont joint the nra because of their right wing slant on other issues but totaly agree with them on firearms. so really this is the only way they reach people like me as i cant get the magazine.
p.s. got offered free nra for life and declined when doing advanced range training. dont like the politics. some lefties like firearms.
-
ldf... I have allways found this to be strange (that some lefties believe in firearms rights).
how do you work around that? If the politicians you like were elected you would be disarmed. I personaly feel that without the 2nd the others are meaningless.
Also... why do you think so many lefties are against people haveing the right to defend themselves?

Police seek answers in shooting death of Warren teenager
By: John Michalak, Special to the Macomb Daily December 09, 2003

Moomaw was found dead early Sunday at a house on the 100 block of West Madge, Hazel Park. She was shot once in the head and the cause has been ruled a homicide, an Oakland County Medical Examiner spokesman said.
Moomaw's "on-again, off-again" 17-year-old boyfriend of Hazel Park is in police custody for the shooting,

Emotional Outburst Follows Decision
POSTED: 3:34 PM PST December 10, 2003
LOS ANGELES -- An 18-year-old man was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday for last year's shooting death of a 14-year-old honor student at a South Los Angeles bus stop.
A nine-man, three-woman panel deliberated just over a day before finding Antwaine Devon Butler guilty of the Nov. 21, 2002, killing of Clive Jackson Jr.
Butler will face a state prison term of 45 to 50 years to life when he stands before Superior Court Judge Judith Champagne on Feb. 5. As he was being led away, the teenager pounded his fist on a wall.

Good post, reinforces my belief that our country has been in "nurturing decay" since the 1960's. We've gone through a severe cultural change since the 1960's. Most of that change has taken parents away from raising their kids with good moral ethics and personal responsibility.
Armed citizens are a deterrent to a life of crime (hopefully) and I'm confident that America is getting back to "Family Values" that the 60's/70's culture contributed to the fleasing of America.

Big Jim's been drinking whiskey
Playing poker on a losing night
Pretty soon old Jim started thinking
Somebody's been cheatin and lying
So Big Jim comenced to fight him
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Big Jim done a-pulled his pistol
And shot his friend right between his eyes.
Handguns are made for killin
Ain't no good for nuthin else
So if you like to drink a-whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some old fool comes around here
And wants to shoot either you or me?

Documentary I've seen implied the pilot had been drinking. Will look it up.

Dago,
Of all these people killed by guns, were they mostly career criminals, or were they just people who needed to be killed?
:p
-
The only reason for the crash that I can find on the net is that they miscalculated their fuel and crashed when they ran out. It's been quite a while since I saw that documentary but I'm pretty sure one of the survivors claimed the pilot had been drinking.

Pretty simplistic attitude, I think.
A lot of handguns are just made for fun shooting.
Oh, and there is a need for handguns that are made for killing. Just about every army has them, police forces have them....... and plain old simple citizens have a right to have them as well.
At least in the US. :p

LOS ANGELES -- An 18-year-old man was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday for last year's shooting death of a 14-year-old honor student at a South Los Angeles bus stop.
A nine-man, three-woman panel deliberated just over a day before finding Antwaine Devon Butler guilty of the Nov. 21, 2002, killing of Clive Jackson Jr.
Butler will face a state prison term of 45 to 50 years to life when he stands before Superior Court Judge Judith Champagne on Feb. 5. As he was being led away, the teenager pounded his fist on a wall.

Notice most of the above cases where children.
Clearly we need to keep firearms out of kids hands.
As someone that is very intiment with firearms i am mixed on gun control.
Yes something must be done to help prevents gun deaths in this country but what?
I am NOT for giving up my right to bear arms.
And As a law abiding citizen i don't think i should have to jump thu hoops to buy a gun.

She kept a gun in her bathroom? Wouldn't the moisture be hard on the metal alloy?

Of all these people killed by guns, were they mostly career criminals, or were they just people who needed to be killed?
I don't know, haven't researched the past history or criminal records of those who died. But, I do believe if someone breaks into a persons home and makes the homeowner fear for his or his families life, than the use of lethal force against that home invader is justified.
We had two cases just recently in my the suburbs of the my area where homes were invaded in the late evening, both cases the invader had evil intent. In both cases, the homeowner retrieved a weapon and only the home invader suffered an injury (loss of life in at least one case).
I realize others don't like guns, and I respect that feeling, but I strongly support the right of law abiding citizens to own a firearm and be able to defend their home and family.

A. I am not anti-gun. I am just sick and tired of the silly notion that guns are great for self protection... followed by a few posts from across the nation.
B. IRON, I made no point at all in my post. Just showed that evidence can be garnered for anything on the internet. And that there is so much more showing gun deaths by homicide or suicide or accident than for protection.
C. Rip, that woooosh sound was the point sailing way over your head.
