    Default 71-year-old former Marine shot and killed an armed robber at a restaurant.

    Actually, he shot two armed robbers. The other one is in critical condition. The bastards picked on the wrong guy...



    Once a Marine, always a Marine !

    Bravo to you, ya feisty old guy!


    While I absolutely LOVE reading stories like that, what really pisses me off is when they inevitably will report afterwards that "the victim will not likely face any charges, but it is under investigation". WTF????? How DARE anyone protecting themselves, their family or their property be "charged" with a crime when their life is obviously in danger? Fuck that shit. I don't care if the victim was licensed to carry/conceal or not......what are you supposed to do in a situation like that? "Well...I'd better not defend myself & shoot the shithead robbers because I might be charged with their murders."

    I knew that our judicial system was pretty fucked up, but I never realized just how badly.

    Careful call him an Ex Marine and likely you will get your ass kicked. The pointy headed, bipedal sandbags refer to themselves as Former Marines. They won't be shy to tell you so..........

    Did you know in Texas there is what is called a "flee law" ? Basicaly what it says that if you or your house is being robbed/threatened you must run away.

    To protect yourself or your personal belongings is a felony..

    How messed up is that?

    Not anymore Texas is a "Castle Doctrine" state.

    Fairfax, VA. ¾ The Texas State Legislature today gave final approval to the National Rifle Association (NRA)-backed “Castle Doctrine” bill (SB 37, bringing common sense self-defense protections to law-abiding Texas citizens.

    Texas is the first state to pass “Castle Doctrine” legislation this year, making it the sixteenth state to recognize the importance of victim’s rights.

    “I want to thank the Texas Legislature for working together to pass this vital legislation and take further steps in protecting the people of this great state,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA’s chief lobbyist. “Law-abiding citizens now have the choice to defend themselves and their families in the face of attack knowing their decision will not be second-guessed by the State of Texas.”

    SB 378, sponsored by Sen. Jeff Wentworth (TX-25) with 27 co-authors and the House version of the bill, sponsored by Rep. Joe Driver (TX-113) with 106 co-authors, states that if a criminal breaks into your occupied home, your vehicle or your place of business, the victim may use any manner of force against that person and does not have a “duty to retreat”. The bill also provides protection for persons using force authorized by law from liability for injuring their criminal attackers.

    “On behalf of all NRA members in Texas, I want to thank Senator Wentworth and Representative Driver for their diligence in passing this important bill into law,” concluded Cox. “The Castle Doctrine bill is about putting the law back on the side of the victim, the way it’s supposed to be.”

    This happened literally within walking distance of my house. I'm annoyed that criminals are infiltrating my neighborhood...but i LOVE that not only did this guy take them down..the robber who didnt die is being charged with his friends murder. In Fl..if you commit a felony and it results in a death..no matter WHO pulled the trigger..YOU can be charged with their death. Since if you hadnt commited the felony, no death would have occured. Nail his ass to the wall.
    Fucker..stay out of my neighbrhood.
