Solution to car jacking: shoot the car jacker

Filed under: RKBA, Shooting, self defense — Dagny Gromer @ 10:47 am

The ideal solution to car jacking, and other violent criminal acts, is to shoot the attacker.  This was demonstrated by a 17 year old in  Metairie, La. where he protected himself and his mom. Good work, dude!

The car jacker wounded in the head and torso, will face armed robbery charges once he is released from East Jefferson General Hospital, Col. John Fortunato, a Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said Monday.

The AZ republic has an uplifting article on a program where unwanted dogs are trained by inmates who are there for major crimes. Worth the read!

Here’s a must read article   for those geeks and wannabe’s out there. It talks about how people behave when searching for information online. There are more than a few analogies to the way animals search for food.

Gun on a plane

Filed under: self defense — Dagny Gromer @ 5:12 am

This week I’m in Logan, UT on a work related trip. By nature I am a homebody and don’t like being away. It’s Tuesday 6 am and I feel like I have been here for a month.

For the first time I took a handgun with me on a plane trip. My AZ concealed carry permit is good in Utah. My husband has done this many times. Surprisingly, it was not much of a hassle. Southwest airlines has a decent firearms policy. I locked the S&WAirweight in the “tupperware” it came in and I was done. I declared it when I checked in at Southwest, showed the ticket agent it was empty (he did not know how to open the cylinder).
