Police Say Man Selling Drugs Shot Teen At Point-Blank Range
quote:
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Police said an urban terrorist is preying on spring breakers in crowded Daytona Beach…
… "He pulls out a .380 and says, 'Does anybody want some of this?' and then he shoots our victim three times," said Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood….
"He's an urban terrorist," Chitwood said. "We are giving warnings to spring breakers about going to Mexico because of foreign terrorists. (He's) nothing but an urban terrorist."
Good point Mike, but Gun Shy likes to refer to them by their full title of Domestic Urban Terrorists, and since this guy is from Orlando, he also falls under the title of Orlando Insurgent.
In a television interview, Mike Chitwood also stated this:
During the altercation, the gutless coward he is, pulls out a .380 and shoots our victim three times... once in the groin, once in the hand, and once in the head…
…He’s an urban terrorist. He’s destroying the social fabric of this country. Its guys like him that are destroying us from the inside out.
Gun Shy couldn't have said it better Mike.
Doctors say the victim is not expected to survive. Gun Shy is hoping for a miracle on this one, because this kid was shot by the perpetrator because he stood up to the shooter, and refused to buy his drugs.
In an earlier commentary about crime in Orlando, Gun Shy stated this:
The official death toll here in the greater Orlando area for the year is currently at 100, but it could jump rapidly at any time depending on how many shooters are involved on any given night. When I last checked on 9/26/08 the count was at 85, so as you can see, the violent Domestic Urban Terrorists have been quite busy. When you examine these statistics In light of the fact that our killed in action in Iraq is currently in the high two hundreds for the year with ten KIA in roughly the last thirty days, while in the same time frame we have fifteen dead here in the Orlando area, maybe we should become less preoccupied with Iraq and start working on a plan to pull out of Orlando. An even better suggestion might be to redefine all the districts of greater Orlando according to crime saturation and officially designate some areas as hostile zones. Then we could have the State Department issue warnings for Americans traveling here as they do for other counties since many of the combatants in the area are now armed with AK47's, the same rifles used by insurgents to assault our troops in Iraq.
By the way Mike, Gun Shy likes your style, but it appears that you have your work cut out for you in that town. For the readers who do not know, Chief Chitwood once worked in Philadelphia. If he can do it in Philly, he can do it anywhere. Gun Shy wishes Mike and the Daytona Beach Police all the best.

Rapists Still in Action Here in O-Town
Rape Suspect Sought After Metrowest Home Invasion
quote:
According to police, a man in the apartment was subdued, then the suspects went into a bedroom where two women were sleeping. The women were ordered into the living room, and while one of the men ransacked the apartment, the other sexually battered the two women.
Sorry that this happened….again, because rape is such an ugly violation of the victim. What is this..like the fourth home invasion/rape in the last month or so here in O-Town? For those of you out there that voted for Mr Obama, don’t worry, because he is going to make America a safer place by removing guns from the hands of law abiding citizens. Surely this will lower the crime here in Orlando, as I am certain that the rapists/home invaders would never ever even consider carrying illegal handguns (Gun Shy rolls eyes). Criminals love an unarmed victim, but don’t worry, because Mr Obama is going to insure your unarmed safety, just like he did the people in his city of Chicago.
So you can go along with Mr Obama's iron clad plan to disarm law abiding Americans in order to lower the violent crime, but for those of you (especially women) who don’t believe this ridiculous notion, there are other alternatives that you can explore:

I Am Not Sure Why This is News
Sheriff's Official Shoots, Kills Intruder - Man's Wife Uninjured In Incident
quote:
Sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said the man entered the home of Maj. Richard Jenkins at about 8 a.m. Friday while Jenkins was getting ready for work. She said Jenkins and the intruder struggled, and Jenkins shot the man in the head.
I am not sure why this is news. Did anyone expect the homeowner to make coffee for the intruder instead? In Gun Shy's personal opinion, this is what should happen every time a violent offender dares to forcibly enter the dwelling of a person and attack them, especially when there are family members there. I guess it is shocking to some, because America has become a nation of people who are constantly living in fear of lawyers and lawsuits, so they just back down and let criminals have their way, and many of the victims get seriously hurt or die in the process. Those who have done this, are guilty of giving these criminals positive reinforcement for negative actions, and when those same criminals went on to hurt or kill others later on, those who enabled and empowered them by their fear to confront were part and parcel to their bad behavior. Americans need to pull together, look out for each other, and start knocking the snot out of these violent offenders who would think to do harm to any hard working law abiding Americans. The more common place this becomes, the less crime you will see. It is time to re-adjust their learning curve.

Guns in Israel (Blogging the Bloggers)
For those who are not aware, Israel is a country about the size of New Jersey that is surrounded by those who would like to assist in the demise of that nation. As many of the readers may have witnessed in the media, Israeli citizens face a lot of violence and hostility in their tiny country daily. Because of this, the citizens must be trained in dealing with these types of situations in an effective and expedient fashion, while always being in a state of heightened awareness. In Israel, it is a requirement for everyone, including women to do service in the military, which helps to make for a nation of citizen soldiers. Here are Question and Answers from the blog of an Israeli citizen known in the blogging world as Double Tapper, explaining the firearms situation in the tiny State of Israel.
doubletapper.blogspot.com/2008/01/questions-from-readers.html
His site will also keep you informed of the latest Israeli hardware. (Gun Shy thinks that Tavor is pretty nifty)
When I read about the problems in Israel, and then analyze some of the violence that is happening here in Orlando, that is perpetrated by home grown Domestic Urban Terrorists on their own people, I wonder what the future holds for us here. It is getting to the point where in some areas, we need to sit facing the door while eating, so that we can remain alert in case there is a violent robbery. We have car jackings and shootings, home invasions and home invasions with shootings, people fighting back against home invasions, robberies with shootings, and just plain shootings in this dangerous urban environment. Sometimes it feels like we are the ones living in a country at war, and even The Brady Bunch are talking about our city. (we are mentioned three times in their report) What their report failed to mention, is that they were all stolen or illegal guns used in those crimes.
As a side note, I have spoken with people from Israel, as well as around the world who read my blog, and are surprised to see that Orlando, The City Beautiful, and home of The Happiest Place on Earth has had such a huge increase in violent crime in the last five or so years. One Israeli that I spoke with, who had been here ten years ago was very shocked and surprised.

Another One of the Brady Bunch Clown Troupe
From another blog, we find this commentary about one of Barry's appointments for Secretary of Education named Arne Duncan.
Mr Duncan was Chicago Schools Superintendent, in charge of education in the Chicago school system. Here is an example of how he and Mr Obama made those schools safe through their agenda of attempting to eliminate firearms from lawful owners. If they (and their performance record) can not convince free thinking adults of their non factual dribble when it comes to their supposed gun facts, then they will now have to try and massage the minds of children to get their agenda implemented. Others in education have used this method to teach school children that aberrant sexual lifestyles are ok and acceptable, and now they are going to attempt anti gun programming on these little ones. If I remember correctly, one of the tenets of communism was to try and shape the thoughts of the children early, so that if their parents were doing something that the government didn’t approve of, their children would turn them in so they could be sent away for re-education. Take a look at this list of Communist goals from 1963.

Is Brady Campaign for or against workplace safety? (Part 1)

Another Heroic American
68-Year-Old Shot While Confronting Gunmen
quote:
OCALA, Fla. -- A 68-year-old customer in a Texaco gas station was shot when he went up against two gunmen...
...That's when Stan Romberg ran in tackling a man almost twice his size and more than likely less than half his age. But before Romberg could confront the man, a second masked gunman appeared and moments later flashed a 45-caliber weapon. A short struggle ensued and Romberg was shot on the upper right arm. "I felt like I was doing what a person should do," said Romberg. Stan Romberg told WFTV reporter Melonie Holt when a gunman burst into his favorite convenience store he didn't have time to think, so he acted.
"I just knew he wasn't going to come on there and take that little girl's life. If he's going to get anybody's life, he's going to get mine. I've had a good life. But, she has a lot to live for. That's what really went through my mind," he said.
The readers can watch the video here.
This man is the type of individual that makes America great. Instead of cowering and letting the Domestic Urban Terrorists have a free reign to wreak violence and havoc on the innocent hard working people, he instead demonstrated his bravery and fought back without concern for his own well being. The only thing better, would have been if he had a firearm and stopped them dead in their tracks. For this, Mr Romberry gets a hearty Gun Shy Salute!
A similar situation happened in California a few years ago, when a man armed with two pistols walked into the local Denny’s and started randomly shooting people because he was having a bad day. The father of a person that I know rushed the shooter to stop the melee, because the gunman was going to kill a young waitress with two small children. In the process this 72 year old hero took four rounds which ended up being fatal, but due to his heroic actions he stopped the lunatic gunman while fourteen people including the waitress escaped with their lives. The distraught gunman then turned the weapon on himself. Men like the ones discussed above, make me proud to say that I am an American. This is the example of what our nation needs to get back to if we ever want to rebuild our nation to the standards of honor and courage that Americans once held.

A Humorous Spoof on the Uninformed
Assault Weapons Watch
I hope the anti's take this site seriously, and send the site donations. I can hear the website owners laughing all the way to the range.
Be sure to read the Frequently Asked Questions page, as well as the about us page. It demonstrates the idiocy of the uninformed gun grabbers and all of their false claims made in the media to try and create fear in the general population. This website should be mandatory reading for all of the The Brady Bunch members, including Pelosi, the Clintons, Holder, and Mr "Hope" himself, so that they can see how silly their facts look when compared to the real facts and statistics. That includes you too Michael Moore.
Here's the story… of a bunch of goofballs
Who were making up a plan to take the guns.
All of them had liberal ideas… like their leader,
Their folly was so dumb …
… and that's the way they all became the Brady Bunch.
Everybody!!! Sing Along!!!
I would like for my fellow bloggers and readers to take a look at the original Brady Bunch theme song from the TV series in its entirety, and then write some lyrics of your own and submit them to me. If you do, I will post the most creative ones on my blog.

The American Way
If we are going to rebuild America, the first step is courage. I read the article linked below this morning and it made me feel good. It reminded me of an America that I once knew, where Americans cared about each other and demonstrated it through their actions. It is time that we all start making a conscious decision to take back our country from the criminal element and to establish the consistent attitude of “Not on my watch”.
Robbery Victim Fights Back, Suspect Caught
quote:
"He pushed me and the money flew all over and he started to pick up the twenties so I ran up and pushed him to try and get him away from the money and started yelling, this guy robbed me, someone come help me!" explained O'Brien. Several eyewitnesses started chasing after the suspect, through the gas station and into the Searstown Mall parking lot. Robert Hollis was the security guard on duty and he tackled the robber.
You’re a good man Robert Hollis as well as all those who chased after the suspect. You are all good Americans, and the recipient of this weeks Gun Shy Salute.

Second Ammendment Task Force
It has kind of a nice ring to it doesn't it? Read about their most recent activities here. I don't think Barry is gonna be too happy. This article is from another blog titled The McCarville Report Online, making this another installment of my Blogging the Bloggers series. You can read more about this administrations agenda here.
What Were They Smoking That Day?
I was driving south on Orange Blossom Trail today, and as I was just about to crossover Highway 50, I noticed a sign by the road side that read “Welcome To Orlando…The City Beautiful”. For some reason, I guess it kinda struck me funny when I read that, because the area I was about to enter is lined with run down weekly rental motels, and as you get a little deeper, you can witness the usual drug deal going down, or prostitutes walking the streets. I guess there might be a few people, who would view these things as beautiful, along with the violent crime and murder that occurs in these areas, but I don’t believe that your average tourist would be all that amused. I thought to myself, how would we respond if we saw a sign that read “Welcome to Beirut Lebanon, the City Beautiful” or Welcome to Falujjah Iraq, the City Beautiful”. I am starting to think that maybe the politicians have become out of touch with the pulse of this city being so far removed in their ivory towers. Maybe as a cost cutting measure, they could open up their offices on this stretch of OBT. I am sure there are plenty of cheap motel rooms for rent that could be converted to office spaces.
Let it be noted for the record, that Gun Shy does have a heart for the hard working law abiding people who also live in these areas, and wishes that it could be better for their benefit.

Police: Homeowner Shoots Would-Be Burglar
quote:
Collins then allegedly pried the back door open with a crow bar. What he didn't know was the homeowner, who worked as a security guard, was home with his two small children.
Police say during the incident Collins tried to hit the homeowner, who was armed with a loaded gun. The homeowner fired at Collins, hitting him once in the arm and again in the head.
You can read the entire article here.
There are some who would say that when a robber breaks into your house, that you should just let them take your stuff. Gun Shy doesn't agree and here is why. There are some who would say that they are not really bad people, but this is just their way to cry out for help, and it is really not the fault of the poor violent offenders that they do these troubling things. After all, times are tough, and they have some other issues to contend with. Well, Gun Shy has an opinion on this as well. When an assailant forcibly enters your dwelling that you have worked to pay for to steal belongings that they have no right to while threatening to do harm you and your family, they are doing these things because they have made a choice, AND also because their bodies are actually deficient in a specific mineral. The only solution for this problem is if the law abiding citizens help to supplement their diet liberally with the mineral that they are lacking....which is lead.
To all violent assailants who would think to do evil to law abiding citizens:
It is time to review the Castle Doctrine, paying special attention to the Stand Your Ground clause, or even better yet, change your lifestyle before the last thing you see is this.

Blogging the Bloggers
Gun Shy Spotlights Other Gun Blogs
For the next couple of weeks, Gun Shy is going to be posting various commentaries from other gun bloggers that I think are of interest. This way, it will direct my readers to their sites to get a wider variety of information. Make sure that you take a look at the entirety of their site, because there are many firearm related topics of interest to be found there. This is from a blog by former Marine Robb Allen, who is here in Florida on the West Coast. He has a lot of interesting things to say on the topic of firearms ownership. Here is one such comment by him in reference to New York State gun laws. I resided in New York at one point of my journey, and the government there is nothing but a ship of fools. As the readers know, Hillary Clinton was truly in her element with Schumer and friends.
blog.robballen.com/2009/03/17/p3182-will-there-be-goosestepping.post
In an earlier commentary, Gun Shy discussed a shoot house, and gave an explanation of what it consists of for the readers. Here is Robb Allen at the Blackwater training facility in North Carolina, runnin’ and gunnin’ in the shoot house with the fastest overall time of 39.87 seconds.
Maybe Gun Shy will get an invite to this years shin dig (hopefully they will have one) and write a first person report for the readers. Thanks Robb for your insight. As a former resident of New York for a time, I agree with your on point, dead on perspective.

Deputies Collide Chasing Robbery Suspects
here is the link for the article.
I will once again reiterate my position by quoting some excerpts from my earlier commentaries:
Nothing says halt with more authority than a large caliber round through an engine block.
Maybe we could substitute an accurately placed round through the engine block delivered from the new Beowulf System which the OCSO has recently acquired to stop the assailant from fleeing the crime scene and endangering innocent lives as well as the lives of our Law Enforcement Officers. When you analyze the situation logically, a 4000 pound vehicle traveling recklessly down the highway at 100+ mph per hour or speeding through residential neighborhoods driven by a person trying to escape arrest who has no concern for the well being of others, is far more dangerous to the safety of the general public than one accurately placed round delivered by a police marksman. Another ancillary benefit is the money saved in fuel when you will not need to send up the pursuit helicopter.
And:
As I have stated in an earlier article, a maniac wheeling a 4000 plus pound vehicle through a neighborhood at over 100 miles per hour recklessly, is far more dangerous than a Police sniper switching off his engine with an accurately place round before he gets rolling. At that time, if the assailant wants to get out of the disabled vehicle and attempt to engage Law Enforcement with force, then round number two will already be chambered. I am of the opinion that a law enforcement sniper with a spotter, is a much safer way to apprehend a dangerous armed suspect who has a history of fleeing apprehension than a high speed chase. This will eliminate future Law Enforcement vehicles being rammed, as well as the injuries to officers, and the potential injuries to citizens.
I will once again reiterate my position by quoting some excerpts from my earlier commentaries:
Nothing says halt with more authority than a large caliber round through an engine block.

Around O-Town Crime Blog Has Been Picked Up by GunBloggers.com
Gun Shy is pleased to report, that gunbloggers.com has recently added the Around O-Town Crime Blog to their website, which is also a clearing house that lists blogs which report on firearms related topics. If you check the right hand column on their home page, you will see the blog listed, as well as some other great blogs. I encourage my readers to go to their website, as well as the other sites listed by them often. Thanks to gunbloggers.com for directing readers to my blog, and I hope that this will help to aid in the dissemination of information and ideas throughout the gun owner community.
Congratulations…You Have Bankrupted the Company..Now Here are Your Bonuses For a Job Well Done
Does anyone else but me find this to be a little troubling and surreal? Read this article and watch this video, and you will be even more troubled. While Americans are losing their jobs and their homes, people who played a part in our financial meltdown are receiving bonuses. These are not corporate bonuses from profits, but are bonuses funded by the Americans tax dollars payed by the same people who have lost jobs and homes because of the meltdown, and whose retirement portfolios have plummeted in value. In my opinion, the people who have taken this money and who feel they somehow deserve it, should be named publicly for all to see. In reality, they should be tried for treasonous actions against our nation, in their intentional and deliberate attempt to destroy of our economic system. Their actions have caused great suffering for many American families, and the impact of their actions will be felt by hard working Americans for years to come. So where did the rest of this bailout money go that was received by AIG? Take a look at this quote:
AIG, a recipient of at least $170 billion in federal bailout money , got an $85 billion loan from the Federal Reserve. The list released Sunday of "counterparties" that benefited from the bailout is topped by European banks Societe Generale and Deutsche Bank, which received $4.1 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.
Whaaaatttttt????? European Banks received U.S. Taxpayers dollars while Americans are going hungry and homeless? Does any of the readers remember voting on that one? Did we missed the memo on that? Would any of the readers ever agree to that? Talk about taxation without representation. Americans better wake up from the slumber that the media induced hypnosis has lulled them into before it is too late.

A Link of Interest to All Gun Owners

If you are a gun owner, the above link may be of interest to you. If you are not a gun owner, what are you thinking?? As the crime quickly rises, there may be a situation someday in your life when you wish you were one, so just buy it now and get it over with already. Maybe that is just my view, from here in the “City Beautiful”, aka The Jungle.
Here is something else that American gun owners and citizens alike may be interested in as well.

Teen Arrested In Slaying Ice Cream Man-16-Year-Old Arrested On Unrelated Charge

Investigators believe a 16-year-old was involved in the fatal shooting of an ice cream truck driver in Palm Beach County.
What is the world coming to, when the Good Humor man has to wear body armor and sell ice cream to the children through a little slot in a bullet proof glass window, like you see in the gas stations in Washington D.C. (maybe Obama should work on cleaning up D.C. first before he attempts to tackle America's crime problem, which he believes is tied to gun ownership)

Don't Say That Gun Shy Didn't Warn You
In my last commentary about the recent armed car jackings in Orlando where the innocent victim was shot by the perpetrator, I warned the readers that the "jackers" are getting bolder, and I offered up suggestions on how to diffuse the situation in order to make people aware that they need to start getting pro-active in their approach to the problem offensively in order to stop this bad behavior before it becomes a daily occurrence. From today's news:
Deputies Investigate Carjack Shooting
quote:
A man told sheriff's deputies that he was assaulted and shot by two men who then took off in his car Saturday morning...
...The victim told investigators that two young men pistol whipped him, shot him in the hip, then took his 2001 BMW.
It appears that we have yet some more candidates for the Pistol Whippers Rehab Class of 2009. You can read about that here.
Is Gun Shy's crystal ball tuned in to the right channel or what? Watch for more incidents in the near future, unless the jackers get jacked.

Ammo, Ammo, My Kingdom for Some Ammo
Well, it looks like the Obama gun frenzy is starting to visibly take it’s toll. I called around today looking for some .45 cal range ammo, a caliber that used to be piled up on every shelf in every place that sold ammo, and found out that very few people have any, and the ones that do are getting a premium price. To all of the knuckleheads out there who have been hoarding ammo while waiting for the apocalypse, thanks a lot. To all of the college kids who helped to elect the “hope” candidate, what were you thinking? You need to get your young idealistic heads out of your butt, do some extracurricular reading, and quit listening to the spin meister/talking heads from the mainstream news who continually sound byte the hope candidates seductive feel good lawyer speak. My only hope is that he will only serve for one term, and the damage that he does to the constitution will be limited and repairable.
UPDATE:
A good friend of mine from Central California just emailed me about the ammo situation where he lives. Here is an excerpt:
Would you believe Walmart has been out of .45, 9mm. .38 sp. for weeks? The clerk said ever since the election people have been calling every morning and buying everything in stock. WTF.
So it is not just a local phenomenon folks. It is even happening in a gun restrictive state like California.

A Little Oohrah Can Go a Long Way
A friend made me aware of this story recently. I was told that the actual incident happened in 2007. The article is no longer on the internet, so I will post it in it’s entirety for the readers, and you can find a forum discussion about it on this site and also on this one. I did a little research to see if it was an urban legend, and from what I have found, I do not believe that it is, and that it is genuine. After reading about the ineptness of the 911 operators in another incident in Plantation Florida mentioned in this earlier commentary, the same city in South Florida where this incident also occurred, it was probably a good idea that the former Marine made the decision to take care of the situation himself.
And now from the “Don’t make pops come over there and go all Semper Fi on your sorry asses..” file:
Retired Marine 71 Years Old
Last week police were called to investigate and attempted armed robbery in South Florida.
The 71 year old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, FL. Subway shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke and he works out everyday. Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.
According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into a small restaurant at 1949 N. Pine Rd. just after 11 P.M. There was a lone diner, Mr. Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money, but then Mr. Lovell pulled his handgun and opened fire. He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head.
When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop, K-9 units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department.
Both men were taken to the Broward General Medical Center, where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22 of North Lauderdale died. The, 21 year old Frederick Godson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.
A longtime friend of Lovell was not surprised to hear what happened. The friend said. "He'd give you the shirt off his back, but he'd be mad as hell if someone tried to take the shirt off you back."
Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta.
He is not expected to be charged authorities said. "He was in fear for his life." Detective Rettig said, "These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots."
Here is the comment posted at the end of the article:
Something tells me this old Marine wasn't in fear for his life, even though his life was definitely at risk. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71 year young Marine against two punks. Two head shots and one center body mass shot - outstanding shooting! That'll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal.
Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?
(Florida law allows eligible citizens to carry a concealed weapon. Every state should.)
In closing I would like to state, that I thank God I had role models that were very much like the man in this article. Take action men of courage, who would not stand for injustice being perpetrated against themselves or others. I think this is what I miss most in today's society, where stories like the one above are no longer common, but are now only the rare exception.

How to Avoid Being Car Jacked in Orlando
Driving this type of vehicle is the only way to guarantee it, and with the most recent carjacking and shooting, it appears that the “jackers” are getting even bolder. A nice ancillary benefit of owning this type of vehicle is that you can make ATM deposits and withdrawals anytime of day or night in any area, without any concern about fighting off an attacker, or worse yet, being robbed at gunpoint and murdered. This is probably not the style of vehicle that carjackers would be interested in anyway. One would have to be extremely creative in order to pimp out this ride, and the after market parts would be quite costly I assume. Here is a list of the ten most stolen vehicles in Florida.
1. 1990 Toyota Camry
2. 1994 Honda Accord
3. 2000 Honda Civic
4. 1994 Dodge Caravan
5. 1997 Ford F150 Series
6. 1995 Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee
7. 1996 Ford Taurus
8. 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup
9. 1991 Chevrolet Caprice
10. 2003 Toyota Corolla
If you own any of the above listed vehicles, it might now be a necessary in Orlando to drive with a loaded firearm in condition one (aka cocked,locked, and ready to rock) holstered on your chest area for quick access, in order to defend your property on short notice. If you position your weapon draw ergonomically for ease of access when driving or stopped at a traffic light, it will put you in a position tactically so that you can present your legal weapon quicker than the Orlando Insurgent can present their stolen illegal firearm. Using this technique, you should be able to get a few rounds off within seconds to avoid getting shot through your door as this man did when he resisted the Domestic Urban Terrorist who felt that he had the right to commandeer the victims vehicle while attempting to use deadly force against the unarmed man.

Domestic terror threat growing...
Domestic terror threat growing, Senate committee warns
quote:
There is an increasing threat of homegrown terror stemming from segments of a deeply isolated and alienated Somali-American community, a U.S. Senate committee hearing concluded Wednesday…
…Liepman said there is a serious concern about individuals being indoctrinated by al Qaeda and al-Shabaab while in Somalia and then returning to the United States "with the intention to conduct attacks."
Orlando already has all the Domestic Urban Terrorists it needs. They have been indoctrinated by drugs, and the lure of easy money. If you doubt what I am saying, please read this.

Something Smells Funny in O-Town
Expressway Manager Suspended After Verbal Altercation
quote:
The report claims companies that worked with the authority were pressured to make political donations.
Did anyone ever stop to consider that maybe this person is just one of the fall guys? After all, he and others named in an earlier article were not running for any office where they would need campaign funds, so what would be their motivation? Gun Shy has a saying that goes like this. When the apple looks bad, check inside and you will find the worms. Let's face it folks, Orlando is a mess. It appears more and more that everyone has been having their way with Orlando at the taxpayer’s expense. O-Town at one time was a lovely apple, but now it appears that only the brown decaying core is left. If the media keeps digging in this closet, I have a suspicion that a whole lot more huge skeletons might appear in the closets of higher level politicians. Gun Shy's advice is, do NOT allow thieves to audit their own books. Call in an outside team who DO NOT have a vested interest, do not answer to anyone here in the local political machine, and will pursue this situation thoroughly to uncover all the facts. You might be surprised at the outcome.
Make sure to read this article as well. Here is a quote:
The grand jury report also criticized Keen for raising money for Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty's re-election campaign, while Crotty was sitting on the Expressway Authority board.

Obama Has Made Chicago Safe and Next is America
The article linked below will give you a good perspective of how Mr Obama's anti gun ownership policies have worked in his former home state of Illinois where he was a senator. He has succeeded in achieving the same level of success as many others around the world who have attempted to disarm law abiding citizens as a knee jerk reaction to controlling violent crime, which only ends up compounding the problem time and time again as statistics have proven.
508 Chicago kids shot in just 16 months
quote:
In this school year alone, 25 Chicago Public Schools children have been murdered. As shocking as that is, that number doesn't begin to tell the real story of how deeply violence is a part of the everyday life of Chicago's children.
Try this number out for size:
A total of 508 Chicago school kids were shot from September 2007 through December 2008, according to data compiled by the school system and released to the Chicago Sun-Times. That's almost 32 children shot each month.
I have briefly addressed the failure of Mr Obama to curtail criminal activity with illegal firearms in his former home state of Illinois in this earlier commentary, while he and his associates through legal wranglings, have continuously attempted to disarm law abiding legal gun owners. If the logic that Mr. Obama is using, is that he must disarm the law abiding public, because those guns have the possibility of being stolen by criminals and then be used to perpetrate crimes, then based on that logic, he should also disarm Law Enforcement, because criminals often break into Police vehicles and steal weapons as I discussed in this earlier commentary. In order for his logic to be consistent on all levels, then Mr. Obama should also disarm our military, because thieves steal weapons from armories, and in the final progression, then I guess it would also be prudent to disarm those who protect him and his family around the clock, because there is a possibility that those weapons could also be stolen and end up in the wrong hands as well. When you analyze this critically, you will realize that twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year for the rest of his life, Mr Obama will have the best Executive protection for him and his family that money can buy...taxpayers money that is. And ironically, these are the very same taxpayers who afford him protection that he and his associates would like to disarm, eliminating their right to protect themselves and their families. The problem is not some inanimate object made of wood, plastic, and steel, that is incapable of making any decision whether good or bad. The problem is men with evil hearts that take joy in perpetrating violence on the innocent, who will use any means available to do so.
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. -- Col. Jeff Cooper, USMC
There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody - except bad people. -- Charlton Heston

Kickin Around an Idea For a New Theme Park Attraction
I have been thinking a lot after reviewing the number of unarmed tourist that have been robbed at gunpoint or shot by thugs here in Orlando, as well as the most recent shooting incident this week. I was thinking that maybe they should open up a new adventure attraction in one of the major theme parks here in O-Town, to help revive the failing tourist trade. The name of the attraction could be titled Last Man Standing or Shoot House. For the readers who are not firearms enthusiasts with an understanding of combat training, a shoot house is a facility where a person trains for close quarter battle using a firearm. It is a building filled with rooms that have targets, which simulates a combat situation in a close urban environment. The shooter has to rapidly move from room to room clearing the building and quickly read and react to identify whether the silhouette type targets that they encounter (some are motorized or pop ups) are friendly or combatant, and then based on that, make the decision to engage the target or just keep moving forward to the next room. In some shoot house drills, two competitors wearing protective equipment hunt each other using special ammo known as marking rounds. When you are hit with one of these projectiles, it marks you with a colored paint to let you know that you were hit and where the round would have entered, thus clearly identifying the winner and consequently the loser of the competition. Since the local thugs, or Domestic Urban Terrorists / Orlando Insurgents as I like to call them enjoy terrorizing and robbing unarmed tourists in the parking lots with firearms, why not invite them into the Shoot House and give them a chance actually earn their money while proving their manhood. The theme parks could set up this new attraction where adventure tourists and firearms enthusiasts could test their skills against real thugs, but in this case the competitors would of course be firing real rounds. They could have cameras throughout the Shoot House as well as having the contestants wearing helmet cams, and then show the edited footage on a reality television series. If the thugs win, they get to keep the wallet and other valuables of the tourist as they normally do. If they lose well….next contestant please!! What do you think?

Open Season on Tourists… Again?
Gunmen Shoot Man Outside Universal Hotel
Police are following several leads Monday morning to find two gunmen who shot someone outside a hotel near Universal Studios...
...The victim was rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition.
Gun Shy addressed the danger of being a tourist in Orlando in this earlier commentary, as well as this one.
Denial is not a river in Egypt... but it is obviously alive and well here in Orlando. I can bet that it isn't "the happiest place on earth" for this tourist.

Uppin Da Body Count
2 Teens Arrested In Deadly Carjacking, More Arrests Imminent
quote:
Jonathan Loyd, 18, and Terrance Leath, 17, face first-degree murder charges in the death of Ruphine Powell, 52, on the 1700 block of Mercy Drive Feb. 11.
Gun Shy thinks that the city needs to rename that street to No Mercy Drive, because it seems that the body count is always quite high there every year.

Freedom of the Press Does Not Mean the Freedom to Leave Out Details
When you leave out important details to spin a situation or bias a story, it is the same as lying. Watch this video from the BBC News (Britian).
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPuM_XAo2BE&feature=related
As you all know, England has effectively disarmed all of its citizens, and the escalating crime has marched on as usual. In the reporters obvious attempt to spin this story in the anti gun ownership mode, he failed to present other important facts, such as the lengthy criminal history of the men who were shot, as well as their illegal immigration status.
Now watch a video that gives a few more of the facts:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JApxwaRFTLU&feature=related
Would you say that he missed a "few" of the important details? What a twit. I will admit that Britian's SAS are great soldiers...of course many of them are Scottish.
There is the news, and then there is the truth, which makes me pose this question. Is this the tactics that the Obama camp will use in the media in the future to push their gun-a-phobia anti gun rhetoric to the uninformed public? Stay tuned.

Alcohol and Gunpowder Are a Deadly Combination That Do Not Mix
Jumpy Inebriated People and Firearms Do Not Mix...
Untrained People and Firearms Do Not Mix...
Woman Shoots Husband Thinking He’s Her Ex
What can I say? Sadly, the video report says it all. The troubling thing is, there are plenty more of these situations just waiting to make the headlines, many of which are probably right here in Florida. I addressed this in an earlier commentary.

A Statistical Comparison
Last year, the greater Orlando area had 123 murders which can be viewed here. If you look at this years murder map, you will see that we currently have 12 as of the beginning of March, which is technically two months. If you average this, it would be around 72 murders per year. Could the hands of the murder clock in the greater Orlando area be slowing down a bit? With the way that the economy is getting, it is hard to believe. I will reserve my comments until after summer.

Gangs and the People Who Love Them
Increase In Gang Activity Has Residents Scared
quote:
Eyewitness News has learned that Orange County deputies arrest at least 50 gang members every month. Deputies said the violence is putting innocent people in danger. Deputies were focusing on known gang members who were wanted for violent crimes like armed burglary and battery. Orange County deputies have seen an increase in gang activity on the county's east side.
You will note the address of University Boulevard that is mentioned in the video and the article. Gun Shy has discussed the areas that are close to the universities in previous commentaries such as this one, and also this one. Parents are sending their kids off to get a higher education, not realizing that they are sending them into a combat zone of sorts. Maybe the universities should add mandatory body armor, like health insurance as a prerequisite for enrollment. Below is the breakdown of gang membership racially according to the report:
48% Hispanic
28% Black
24% White
While we are looking at the percentages that make up gang membership according to race, let’s look at some other statistics:
• Total population of the United States: 299 million
• White: 221.3 million or about 74%
• Hispanic or Latino ethnicity: 44.3 million or about 14.8%
• Black or African American: 40.9 million or about 13.4%
At year end 2007 in the United States there were:
• 3,138 Black males sentenced prisoners per 100,000 U.S. residents
• 1,259 Hispanic males sentenced prisoners per 100,000 U.S. residents
• 481 White males sentenced prisoners per 100,000 U.S. residents
The above statistics for incarceration can be viewed here.
