Voice from the Commonwealth Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

A handgun in the hands of a private citizen has saved the lives of a man and his child again. After two men forced their way into their hotel room the father pulled his .44 from under his pillow and shot both criminals. One is dead and the other is in the hosptial.
Steven D. Robey, 46, who was pinned to his bed with a gun to his head, reached under his pillow for his .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol and shot both men to save his and his daughter’s lives.
Said the sheriff's Capt.: “A gun was pointed at his head and a man was taking his daughter in the bathroom,” Chard said. “I feel I would have responded in the same way.”
Now let's review. Mr. Robey was licensed to carry a firearm. The two thieves, I am guessing, were not and their guns were probably unregistered. If gun control advocates had their way. Mr Robey would now be dead his daughter raped and murdered and everything they owned would now be in the hands of two criminals.
