To Keep and Bear Arms

[delldude]

Fairfax, Va.— The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) is disappointed in West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s veto of HB 4145, a permitless concealed carry bill that allows law-abiding West Virginians to carry their firearms in the manner they see fit. The legislation passed the legislature with significant bipartisan support, and the NRA hopes lawmakers reaffirm their support of this important legislation with a veto override.
 “Gov. Tomblin’s decision to veto this bill is unfortunate, especially considering the significant support HB 4145 had from both sides of the aisle,” said Dakota Moore, NRA-ILA West Virginia liaison.  “We’re hopeful that, in going back to the legislature, each chamber will promptly reaffirm the rights of law-abiding individuals.”
 HB 4145 allows law-abiding adults to carry their firearms in the manner that best suits their needs. It strengthens penalties for anyone caught with an illegal firearm. It also recognizes the self-defense needs of responsible, trained individuals between the ages of 18 and 21. If the bill becomes law, these adults, who are able to serve in our military and hold elected office, will be able to apply for a permit after undergoing training. 
 The bill now returns to the House of Delegates where the override process can be initiated.

Veto over ride!
 
FAIRFAX, Va. - The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) applauds the West Virginia state legislature for overriding Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s veto of HB 4145, making constitutional carry the law in West Virginia.
“Self-defense is a fundamental right that must be respected,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director, NRA-ILA. “Law-abiding West Virginians are now free to choose the method of self-defense that best suits their needs. The NRA and our five million members are pleased that the legislature voted in support of West Virginians’ Second Amendment freedoms.”

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE — A 65-year-old woman half her attacker’s size is crediting her firearm for saving her the other night during a frightening ordeal that occurred just feet away from her apartment.

The woman, who is 4-foot-11 and 105 pounds, said she had stopped at Mobil on the Run, 1050 S. Willow St., at about 11:30 p.m., after leaving work. She told police she was on South Willow Street at a stoplight when she noticed a dark colored sedan behind her. She said it caused her heightened concern when it followed her into her apartment complex parking lot, so she parked as close to her building as possible.
She said the following vehicle parked close to hers and as she got out of her vehicle and headed for the building, she heard a car door close and a person walking quickly behind her.

She turned to see a white male coming up behind her, running past her and then situating himself directly in her path. The woman said that he then reached out to grab her, and that’s when she pulled her firearm from her pocket and fired a shot, striking the man in the chest.
 
Police say the woman has her concealed carry permit.
 
The man, Robert Bontaites, 23, was taken to the hospital by an accomplice who was waiting in the vehicle. When his description was heard over the radio, an officer at the hospital recognized Bontaites and arrested him.
This is yet another fine example of an armed citizen taking control over their personal safety. Had this woman not been carrying her firearm, who knows what would have happened to her in the end.
 
Here’s to the armed citizen.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN — A would-be armed robber was shot and killed when he walked behind a gun owner purchasing cigarettes at a local gas station.
 
According to WXYZ-7, the robber walked up behind him and told him to empty everything out of his pockets.  That was when the gun owner turned around and shot the robber at close range.  The would-be robber was pronounced dead at the scene.  No further injuries to report.
 
“It’s poetic justice,” said one witness to the crime.  “You come to do something that tainted, you know, that [malicious], and it just that raunchy to another person and he flips the script on you!”
 
Detroit police are not expecting to press charges against the gun-owner.
“He was stunned just like any of us would be,” the store manager said about the victim.  “We’ve been here thirty or forty years and we’ve never had anything like this happen.”
Detroit is famous for being a high-crime environment where thugs don’t think twice before using force against victims.  One of the rude awakenings for these criminals is when one of their own goes home in a bag.  This type of idiocy just won’t stand and it’s good to know that the folks of Detroit are able and ready to handle it.
