Very good. We have a right and an obligation to protect ourselves and our family from unjust agressors.
If the left tries to take this right away from us, it won’t be successful.

Yet our beloved Senator Voinvich has no clue as to why Ohioans relate to pro-gun Republicans from the South.

A cup of coffee and happy ending story.

Next time, dont pick up a five year old when bullets are flying, put him behind you at the very least.

Other than this guy, the others in the house were a woman, child and a bed ridden man. So this guy stepped up and did exactly what he should have done and I congratulate him for good shooting, a neck shot is tough.

And the perp was a black male? My God, I thought that only happened around here!

Well done sir, your manhood is serving you and us well.

The shooter was defending a drug house.

Neighbors said activity at the home had caught their attention soon after the tenants moved in about two years ago.

They said people were constantly in and out of the house, a surveillance camera had been installed outside a picture window, and the windows had been covered on the inside with what appeared to be black plastic.

Police spent most of yesterday searching the house after obtaining a warrant. They would not say what they had found.
