Well, I am still here, my computers are still here and even GoDaddy and my sites are still here. It appears that yet another Doomsday has come and gone, and we bid the "Doomsday Virus" farewell.

Happy Birthday United States and God bless those who have and are currently serving to keep our great nation sovereign and free!

Seems like a lot of folks are marking these up quite a bit due to supply & demand. I am pleased that there a still some folks keeping prices down even though they could easily raise their prices. My local dealer Federal Way Guns is one such place and I just got an email from DSGArms: http://dsgarms.com/ProductInfo/CO6920.aspx that they now have Colt 6920s in stock for $995!

There are still good deals out there if you look and are willing to wait.

p.s. I am not affiliated in any way with either place but respect their business models, and really like my 6920 :)

Good article.

Mila Kunis might be a sexy star, but the actress knows how to defend herself. The entertainer was on the Conan show Monday night dishing on her skill and it sounds like she it a good shot. Sharing that she was on production of a movie set, but it snowed and the cast had to wait it out, Kunis was given an opportunity to learn about the weapons and brush up on her skills.

“I had a lot of practice with guns, I was given free range,” said Mila Kunis on the Conan show. “I learned how to take apart and put together a gun. I’m actually pretty good... I can shoot pretty well, an automatic and a semiautomatic. And I learned how to keep my eyes open while shooting a gun, which sounds crazy but it’s really hard to do.”

While the star isn’t the typical person one might think of when it comes to shooting, it’s a great skill to have when needed for a movie as one never knows when an action film script might be the next big blockbuster.

She was really good in the SHTF movie Book of Eli.

This is why we teach our children to use firearms safely.

PHOENIX (AP) — A 14-year-old boy shot and nearly killed an intruder who broke into his Phoenix home and pulled a gun on him while he was watching his three younger siblings, police said Saturday.

The teen and his siblings, ages 8, 10 and 12, were at home alone when a woman rang the doorbell Friday afternoon, Phoenix police Officer James Holmes said.

The teen didn't open the door because he didn't recognize the woman.

Soon after, the teen heard a loud bang on the door, rushed his siblings upstairs and got a handgun from his parent's bedroom.

When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a man break through the front door and point a gun at him.

The boy shot the 37-year-old man, who was taken to a hospital in extremely critical condition and underwent surgery. The man was upgraded to critical condition and is expected to survive and be booked into jail within the week on counts of aggravated assault and burglary, Holmes said.

He said the suspect did not get a shot off. He declined to release his name until he is booked into jail.

The woman who rang the home's doorbell got away.

Holmes hailed the teen's actions and his parents for teaching the kids to never open the door to strangers.

"The police and indeed our community does not ever want to see a situation where a teenager of that age has to take a weapon to protect his family ... but this young man did exactly what he should have done," he said. "I'm not sure he gave full thought about what he had to do. He just acted."

Holmes said that the gun the teen grabbed was his father's, but did not know whether the boy had been trained to use it.

He said the family, whose names were not released, is declining to speak to reporters about the ordeal, saying that they "are all pretty traumatized."

"The dad was pretty much out of his mind with distress, officers couldn't even talk to him," Holmes said. "It's going to take them a while to recover mentally."

He said police don't yet know what the suspect's intentions were and that will be one of the first questions they ask him when he is well enough to talk.

"This was mid-block in a neighborhood, at 4:30 in the afternoon in summertime and children are there," he said. "They just took a heck of a gamble for this particular house, and we've got to try to figure out why."

Holmes added that the family is lucky that the teen acted so swiftly and effectively.

"As ugly as this is, and as much as this family is going through, we don't have injured children on our hands," he said.

 

Enough said.
