Fort Bragg

I am happy to be shipping a small order of personal protection alarms to the men and women of Fort Bragg as a rush order prior to your deployment to Afghanistan. Packing each alarm personally as I consider who the recipients might be. I am thankful for your service, and the chance to play such a small role in your important jobs as you go overseas to protect our freedoms, and that of our allies. Thank you for your service. As I pack these alarms, they go with my hope and prayer that you return home safely when your mission is done.

The World Is Different Than When We Were Kids

I remember back when we were kids, and you could ride your bicycle to the local park as long as you returned home at dusk.  Will we as a society ever return to those days?  Will we ever root out the abductors and return the world to a safe place?

When is it OK to use deadly force in protecting yourself and your family from a home invasion?

There's a lot of discussion today in Minnesota around how to protect yourself during a home invasion. 

The four pillars governing the authority to use deadly force in MN are:
1. Must be in reasonable fear of great bodily harm or death.
2. Must be a reluctant participant.

3. Must have no reasonable means of retreat.
4. No lesser force would suffice. Deadly force was required

In a home invasion, you may not have to retreat, but all three of the other elements must be present in order for you to use deadly force. Other states have slightly different positions on this, so check out your state guidelines for the use of deadly force in your home.
