"when the shotgun wielded by her father was often the only thing that stood between her family and the Ku Klux Klan."

How very many times, I wonder, this very scenario is played out all across our country these days. Not necessarily against the klan, obviously, but in defense of self/family/property. You almost never hear about it and naturally the MSM isn't going to report it. It's surprising.

Knowing Dr Rice's stance on RKBA is not really surprising, but it is HELLA encouraging. I really hope she decides to make a go at POTUS come '08. I've a feeling she'd clean house.

It seems those people understand where freedom coming from, all would support RKBA. Condi understands the true freedom. The lefts won't let her support of RKBA go un-noticed. God Bless her.

And IIRC, the National Rifle Association was involved in self defense training in the black neighborhoods at that time (something the MSM would also ignore).

The only report I see is every month in the American Rifleman magazine from the National Rifle Association.

It has happened three times in my life. I dropped my girlfriend off in Arvada, Colorado about 2:00 am and was cutting across Northeast Denver to return home to Aurora. Two men tried several times to run me off of the road. They left in a hurry when they saw my Ruger 44 magnum.

Another time, a neighbor saw two guys trying to steal my car parked in front of our apartment. He went out with a gun and they left quickly.

One winter night when I was away from home, a guy was trying to break in the door to our garden level apartment in Aurora. My wife called the police to report it and then yelled to the guy that she had a gun and was going to shoot. When the police arrived, they found him laying on the ground with a compound fracture in his leg. He had slipped on the ice trying to run away. He told the police that some woman with a gun tried to attack him. My wife asked the police officer what she should have done if he hadn't stopped. The officer said, "When he comes in, shoot him and keep shooting until the gun is empty. Then throw the gun at him. That way there is no question about you being in fear of your life."
