Glaring Statistic about Criminals and Punishments

According to a statistic given by Wayne Lapierre in his book Guns, Crime, and Freedom, "burglars who chose, either unintentionally or otherwise, to enter an occupied home are TWICE as likely to be shot or killed as they are to be caught, convicted, and imprisoned by America's criminal justice system."

Anti-gun advocates want you to believe that we are adequately protected with the police, military and the justice system. Don't believe that for a second. Yes, they provide an invaluable service, but we have the responsibility to protect our own.

Concealed Carry - Thats means concealed!

If you are licensed and plan on carrying a concealed firearm always remember to conceal it. If someone can tell the police what your gun looks like, find a lawyer. The AP found a story which stresses this fact in a light hearted manner.

Minn. police stop driver armed with squirt guns

DULUTH, Minn. -- Police responding to a report of a driver brandishing a gun in southeastern Minnesota found themselves in extreme danger - of getting wet.

When police pulled over and searched the vehicle in the port city of Duluth on Monday, they found only several "Super Soaker" squirt guns on the back seat

The Duluth News Tribune reports that no arrests were made.

So wether its a real gun or a quirt gun, you have a license to carry concealed so conceal it!!!

Protecting Yourself!

Here is an interesting story about someone who used a firearm to protect themselves. Here in Idaho Falls we don't have much crime, maybe its because we're all good people or maybe it's because we believe in gun ownership. Either way we need to keep on doing what we're doing to remain safe.

"A former Marine who uses a wheelchair used a firearm to protect himself from three attackers who broke into his home early one morning. According to reports, three home invaders burst into the man's home in West Pike Run Township, PA., around 2 a.m. Alerted to danger by his dog, the homeowner grabbed a .45-caliber pistol and fired, causing the three attackers to flee."

Don't be caught off guard. Protect yourself. Armed Advantage will be up and running soon specializing in Concealed Carry Permit Classes here in Idaho Falls.

Storing Your Firearms

Many ask the question of how and where their firearm should be stored. The answer to that question is different for everyone but we’ll try to help guide you in your decision. The most important thing to remember is that your firearm is not accessible to any and al l unauthorized persons. First, you need to ask “what is the intended use for the firearm?” If its for target practice or hunting then the firearm should be locked in some fashion and kept unloaded. So what about the firearm that is there for your personal protection in you home? The answer in this situation may or may not be different from that of the first question. This could mean in a safe, it could mean in a drawer, it all depends on your situation. If you choose to store you firearm unlocked in a drawer for example, it is still recommended that you store the gun in a holster. This will protect the firearm as well as avoid any accidental discharges. Be especially mindful if you have children in your home. You as the gun owner are responsible for your firearm at all times no matter what. Take that responsibility seriously and do some research to figure out what the best storage situation for you might be. Stay Safe

License to CARRY - not SHOOT!

For those of us who have a license to carry a concealed weapon, we need to remember exactly what the rules are. The license does give you the ability to carry a firearm almost wherever you'd like but it does not give you the ability to fire that firearm whenever you'd like. This is not a video game, this is not a movie and we are not Jack Bauer from 24.

There is a recent article about a man in Oregon who thought he was doing the right thing when he fired his revolver at the tires of a car of fleeing robbers. What he thought was right has landed him in big trouble.

Basically he saw some robbers coming out of an Apple store with some iPhones and decided to save the day by shooting at the tires to detain the bad guys. You just can't do that! The risks here outweigh the possibility of a good outcome by like a million. An innocent person or worse, a child could have been struck by a stray bullet.

Take carrying a firearm seriously. You should know when, where and importantly how to fire your gun before you even start carrying it. Carrying a concealed weapon in Idaho Falls and doing it with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for safe carry should be your top priority. When we carry, we become a different person, we are now in a different class. We become the protector and the preventer of certain things. We must know what they are!

Here is a LINK to the article about the above Oregon man.

Idaho Falls Concealed Carry vs. Open Carry

FOX News pollster Scott Rasmussen has some interesting numbers about concealed weapons.

Most Americans are not concerned about people who carry concealed weapons but many have mixed feelings about open carry gun laws that allow owners to wear their weapons in public.
47% oppose so-called "open carry" laws while 41% favor "open-carry gun" laws.

Armed Advantage will be up and running soon teaching Concealed Weapons classes in Idaho Falls and the surrounding area. Check back often for updates.

Who's more dangerous, your doctor or your neighbor gun owner?

Here are some interesting statistics I found on Rense.com. While they may or may not be true, they are worth wondering about.

Physicians

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services)

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million.

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!

Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
