If you love liberty, you must be familiar with these quotes. They are just as relevant today, as they were when our founding fathers lived to say these great words.

Nowadays, at least 90% of the news we hear about firearms is bad news. We hear about yet another law passed to constrain our liberties, or another anecdotal sob story about an irresponsible gun owner who accidentally shot his own dog, or worse, child.

So, it was nice, this afternoon, to get the following story in my mailbox, telling a good story about an armed citizen who averted what might have been a tragedy.

JPFO ALERT: GOOD GUY SHOOTS BAD GUY.

WE ASSUME SARAH BRADY IN TEARS

Confirmed: There was a shooting incident in Glasgow, Montana on Saturday afternoon. Besides the shooter, one person was killed and two were injured. Police locked down the community, warned people to lock doors and stay inside, and followed a blood trail which eventually led to the deceased shooter.

Unconfirmed but probable: The shooter made his attack at a local hospital and killed a female Emergency Medical Technician. Scott Billingsly was present because his wife works at the hospital.

Scott has a Montana concealed weapon permit, was armed, and engaged the shooter in defense of himself and others. Scott was injured in the hand and Scott’s wife was also injured. The shooter was seriously injured and was driven off by Scott’s armed engagement of the shooter. The seriously wounded shooter sought shelter, leaving the blood trail that law enforcement followed, where they found the shooter dead of a possibly self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The people of Glasgow who know these details are highly thankful that an armed citizen was present and able to interdict the killer before he could kill more than the one person murdered, possibly saving the lives of many other hospital employees.

I have been so impressed with Ron Paul’s latest book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, and I am convinced that you will be so glad you read it, that I am offering to reimburse you for the cost of purchasing it!

Here’s the deal: you buy the book and save your receipt. After you’ve read it, send me a copy of your receipt along with your comments about the book, and I’ll send you a check to cover what you paid for the book. Tell me if it’s answered any questions for you, caused you to change your mind about anything, or even if you disagreed with any of it. I’m genuinely interested in what you think…

Assuming that only a very few people actually read my blog, and even fewer will take me up on this offer, I figure I can afford to buy a few copies of this book… if, for some reason, too many people respond, I will have to reserve the right to discontinue this offer before I go bankrupt!
