Happily American - The Armed Citizen Report: May 2010

Do you own a gun? If so, good for you…make sure you know how to use it. If not, why not? Millions of Americans own guns and it’s a good thing they do because they end up needing them to protect themselves. It annoys liberals every time they hear it but, Americans defend themselves, their loved ones, and their property millions of times every year with guns. Some of the stories of Americans using their guns for their own protection follow.

While taking groceries to her car, a man approached an 82-year-old woman and said something horrible to her: “This is your day. You are too old to be alive anyway.” According to police, he then grabbed the woman’s cane and beat her. Despite the savage assault, the elderly woman managed to reach into her purse, draw her gun and fire a shot. The man fled and, upon hearing the shot, store employees quickly came to the woman’s aid. The self-proclaimed “stubborn, old broad” is badly bruised but will fully recover. “If I go naturally or to a sickness or something, fine,” she said. “I’m ready to go, but I’m not ready to let some idiot like that take me out.” (KVOA-TV, Tucson, Ariz., 03/15/10)

Wacky Global Warming News: May Snow Sets New Utah Record

Global warming is really having a difficult decade so far considering all the evidence that it may not be happening at all. Another example that could lead one to believe that Global Warming is a hoax created by criminals to separate you from your money and liberty occurred today in Utah…it snowed at Utah’s Salt Lake International Airport.

Yes, you read it correctly. It’s MAY 24th and it snowed in Salt Lake City. I admit that the amount of snow was small and measured only 2/10th of an inch but it hasn’t ever snowed this late in the year in Salt Lake City. If the climate is trending toward warmer temperatures how is it that snow is falling this late in May? Is it the heat causing the snow as many of the Global Warming types tell us?

I’ll say it again, Global Warming is just the latest hoax being used to scare you into handing over your money and liberty.

The Armed Citizen Report: April 2010

One of the reasons I’m Happily American is the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Second Amendment is recognition of the right of an American citizen to keep and bear arms in order to defend their life and property from all who would try to take them. Americans exercise their right to self defense using privately owned guns about 2 million times a year but you seldom hear about it unless you read about it here.

The Armed Citizen Report: March 2010

If you've been paying attention to the news lately I'm sure you've noticed that politicians are taking actions against the will of the citizens of the United States. You may have also noticed that they have little regard for the U.S. Constitution and are willing to bully their programs through both houses of Congress. So, how long do you think it will be before they come after your guns? I don't think it will be too long and that's too bad because real people use their lawfully owned guns to protect themselves all the time as the stories below show.

NRA member Robert Cole and his wife, Pam, had just started to doze off one evening when they heard breaking glass and their motion detector alarm as it went off. Then Cole heard someone in the living room. "I woke my wife up and told her we had someone in the house, and she told me to grab the shotgun," he remembered. Police said he peered out the bedroom door and saw a man in the living room holding a fire extinguisher. "I was worried he was going to hurt me or my wife so I [fired] one round of No. 6 shot," Cole said. Police arrested the wounded suspect and an alleged accomplice nearby. This wasn't Cole's first act of armed citizenry. He was involved in another incident reported in December 2004. (North Channel Sentinel, Pasadena, Texas 01/07/10)

A man allegedly burglarized a vending machine and fled from police in his vehicle. The suspect cracked his axle but continued to drive away. He stashed the car near an elementary school, which was placed on lockdown as police scoured the area. "As they were searching the area, they heard a pop," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson. The sound they heard was the report of a nearby homeowner's shotgun. The suspect entered the home and demanded money and car keys. In fear of his life, the homeowner fired his shotgun, killing the suspect. (The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Ariz., 01/27/10)

Police said that shortly after midnight three men broke into a home seeking money and drugs. There were no drugs in the home, but there was a .22-cal. rifle - and an 11-year-old boy trained in its use. The boy leapt to the defense of his mother and sister. One of the intruders shot the boy, slightly injuring him. The boy returned fire, seriously wounding a suspect and causing the men to flee the home. Police found all three intruders nearby. The wounded man was airlifted to a hospital and will be charged after his release. (San Antonio Express-News, San Antonio, Texas, 01/20/10)
