Dakota Meyer, Bristol Palin's newest fiance, gives instruction on how to accidentally shoot one of your children for breaking a water glass.

"Remember slow is smooth, smooth is fast." And they say this guy is not a philosopher.

All kidding aside I thought Cletus gave some good tips on how to overreact to a noise in the middle of the night.

I mean personally I just stumble around the house stubbing my toes, cursing frequently, and wielding a plastic baseball bat. But then I'm a trained professional.

Of course perhaps Huckleberry has increased the possibility of home invasion by putting his name on products like this.

And taunting ISIS like this.

I think my advice to Tripp would be to try and stay with dad as much as possible, and when staying with mom use the bathroom BEFORE bedtime, use only Dixie cups for late night drinks, and for God's sake stay low.

Gun nut, and conservative talk radio host, learns that the dog provides more security than the 2nd Amendment.

So apparently this Tammy Bruce woman had a home invader the other day.

She tweeted the entire thing.

I think my apartment is haunted. Seriously.

Then her dog, Syd, started to act a little nervous.

Oh great, Syd's now *growling* into the living room! :(
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Hmm, Syd's now barking at *the floor.* There's a basement here. Calling police...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Cops on the way. Syd's growling at the floor. I sure hope someone's in the basement. The alternative is a shack exorcism...

Talked to bunch of officers, they're now heading to basement's outside door...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Syd's barking at the floor again, cops yelling something...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Oh freaking jeez, SOMEONE'S IN THE BASEMENT FOR SURE!!
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

As it turned out it was a homeless person who found the door unlocked and decided to make himself at home.

There was no indication that he wanted to do either the home owner or the dog any harm, but still it is a frightening situation.

Afterward Tammy Bruce tweeted this.

Tweeps, if you live alone having a firearm is good but it won't warn you about the #jerk in the basement. Yay Syd! pic.twitter.com/NeaDNV9fjP

Exactly!  I have little doubt that Bruce had weapons in the house, as she is always going on about gun rights. However her revolver certainly could not have picked up on the fact that there was somebody inside her home, who may have wanted to do her harm. For that she needed Syd.

In fact with her dog, Bruce really did no even NEED to get her gun.

The dog alerted her to the danger. She called the police, The police arrested the vagrant. And nobody had to get shot.

In other words this is the kind of situation that the NRA NEVER wants to see take place.

So the moral of the story is that maybe owning a firearm will make you feel safe in your bed at night, but a good dog will ensure that you ARE safe in your bed at night.

Today's example of a man with an arsenal of weapons making death threats comes to you courtesy of Detroit, Michigan.

Courtesy of Raw Story:

A convicted felon and alleged neo-Nazi amassed 40,000 rounds of ammunition and planned to kill black and Jewish community leaders in Detroit as part of a “hit list,” WXYZ-TV reported on Thursday. 

Federal authorities said this week that a search of 47-year-old federal suspect Richard Schmidt’s home revealed the list and apparent plans to kill Scott Kaufman, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, and Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). 

“You have to realize it is the world we live in,” said Kaufman after being notified of the list. “There are people who don’t like us and would just as soon have us not exist, but you can’t dwell on it.” 

According to NBC News, Schmidt was indicted in January 2013 on federal charges of possessing firearms, ammunition and body armor, all of which violated his parole. Schmidt was released from prison in 2003, after 13 years of incarceration in Ohio following a homicide conviction for shooting and killing a man during a traffic stop. Schmidt also wounded two others during that attack. 

Investigators then found 18 weapons inside Schmidt’s home in Ohio in December 2012, including various types of shotguns and high-caliber rifles, including two different AR-15 assault weapons. 

U.S. Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach, who represents Ohio’s northern district, said investigators have concluded that Schmidt acquired his arsenal at gun shows or via private firearms sales, which currently do not require a background check. 

Someone tell me again how background checks are unnecessary and infringe on a citizen's 2nd Amendments rights? I NEVER tire of hearing that one.

By the way in response those who complain that I never post any stories of regular Americans protecting their homes from criminals with their guns, let me provide you with this shinning example from Holt, Michigan:

When deputies arrived at a house here for a reported home invasion, the suspected intruder was lying just inside the front door, handcuffed, with multiple bullet wounds to his torso.
