A Farfax homeowner shot a man attempting to break in to his home. At about 2:30am, officers received a call from the homeowner stating a man was attempting to force into the home. The man remained on the line, as the man outside continued breaking in. The homeowner shot the man in the upper body. […]
Resident Shoots Invader After He Kicks In Door
In Rio Rancho, NM, a Midnight home invasion resulted in the intruder being shot. Police said two adults and three children were sleeping in their home, when a man entered the house. The homeowner shot the intruder, who later died. I don’t know if the home pictured is the exact one broken into, but Zillow […]
Burglar Shot at 3am When He Refused to Leave
News reports that a Fort Lauderdale homeowner caught a burglar who had broken into his house. The intruder refused to leave, causing the homeowner to shoot. The suspect was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Details are sketchy. My recommendation is to always have both a pistol (with a light attache) AND a flashlight. […]
Officer Shoots Man with His Own Pistol
This is frightening for any of us who carry while driving. I would consider this a cautionary tale for both LE and for concealed carry citizens. After a traffic stop, a man notifies officers that he is carrying a pistol. Arrington was fully cooperating with all three officers, the body camera footage showed. He had […]
Home Invaders Use Pistol Light
I don’t know why these people had so many cameras in their house, but they did catch footage of a home invader getting into a shootout with a resident of a home in Dearborn Heights MI. Two home invaders are reported. In one segment of security footage, you can clearly see that one of them […]
Psalm 90:17
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. I often pray that the work of our hands would serve others faithfully. This captures much of that sentiment. It starts by praying that […]
Some Men They Follow After
I had lunch with my elder this week, and mentioned I was going to Las Vegas for Shot Show 2025. He talked about going there once and seeing the sign at the airport stating that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. He laughed, stating it doesn’t. How true. I went home and searched the […]
Nitecore EDC29
Nitecore announced their EDC29, which has a staggering max output of 6,500 lumens and 40,230 candela. It has a tail switch that allows quick access to full output, available lockout mode, pocket clip, battery display, and adjustable brightness. I personally like these flat lights and will be interested to check it out at Shot Show […]
Streamlight Megastream
Streamlight announced their Megastream pocket carry light this week. It’s got 3 modes, is recharageable with the battery inside or outside the light, and has a pocket clip. Perhaps the most interesting part are the specs: 1,800 lumens and 26,000 candela. My personal minimum for a defensive handheld is 20,000 candela. Lights of that strength […]
Kel-Tec PR57
Kel-Tec has released a lightweight defensive pistol with one interesting feature for those of you in certain states. The PR57 is (you guessed it) chambered in the lightning fast 5.7 round. Due in part to the rotating barrel, this comes in at just over half the weight of the next lightest pistol chambered in 5.7mm, […]
