Violent Crime Declined As Gun Sales Climbed in 2009
Thursday, September 16, 2010 By Matt Cover

(CNSNews.com) - Violent crime continued to fall in 2009, even as gun sales reached an all-time high, according to statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This is “proof positive that gun prohibitionists have been consistently and undeniably wrong,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said in a statement.

I'm sure the anti-gun Leftists will find another reason for the drop in crime, perhaps linking it to Obummercare. But as we know, the real reason crime drops is because of the story in the link below, which happened a couple of miles from me. Nothing makes crime go down faster than the bad guy knowing he may not survive!

'Manigat's mother, Cecile Antoine, said: "My son knows better than that."

She recalled that he was working on his résumé at their Flatbush home at around 11 p.m. Tuesday when a heavyset friend picked him up.

Always remember the golden rule, i'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Spider,
my 18 y/o niece is living with us right now. In the last 7 or 8 weeks she's had a crash course in guns, survival basics and U.S. History.

She'd never heard the "judged by 12 / carried by 6" thing before. Unfortunately, and due to her lack of a decent education, I had to explain it.

from the funny as He!! department:

A father of two pre-school age girls wakes to hear noises outside his home at 2:00 a.m. He gets up and starts walking around the house to see what it is. When he passes his daughter's room, he sees a man looking in the window.

He immediately returns to his room, gets his .357 and tries to follow the the "peeping tom" as he circles the house. When he gets to the front door he sees the door handle jiggle slightly and try to turn. He takes a good firing stance and aims center of mass at the door and yells: "I'm naked and I have a gun!" (Later, he can't explain why he told the intruder that he was naked, other than he was).

The "intruder" yells back "This is the police, put the gun down and open the door". The man looks through the peep hole, and sure enough there are two cops on his front step, now with their guns drawn and pointed at the door.

Once the door is opened and the appropriate anatomy has been rendered polite, a yelling match goes on about why he pulled a gun on police officers vs. why they were looking in his daughters' windows.

Eventually it was discovered that there had been several attempted burglaries that evening, in the neighborhood. The cops saw somebody jump the guys fence, so they investigated to see if anyone had entered the house but didn't want to take the occupants if there was nothing going on.

----relayed by a cop buddy of mine this past week.

I wonder if there are any lessons to be learned here?

Yet another reason NOT to shoot thru a door. Might just some of the good guys on the other side.
