Condition Red Response

I know the govt of Columbia city made it too expensive to keep our range with 12 foot berms open, but friends, you must have a backstop."The woods behind my house" are insufficient. Nothing about responsible gun ownership is cheap or convenient. Get training in a safer place.

Oklahoma man doing target practice in his backyard accused of fatally shooting woman blocks away The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche, Oklahoma, when she was shot, according to the probable cause affidavit.

I suspect the homeowner will have a difficult time explaining why he murdered this woman. Unlike the left like to spout and gun stores Fudds preach, the Castle doctrine type laws do not allow indiscriminate killing. The woman was outside the home and had no weapon. Even if she had been attempting illegal entry, she had yet to become an adequate danger to the homeowner to justify lethal force.

In our courses we address these types of situations and help you think through your non-lethal options.

Lethal force should always be the last option. What else could've been done here? A shouted challenge of "who is it?" through the door? A warning through the door?

I have a feeling things will not go well for the homeowner.
