Dear Friends,
I was doing some follow-up to a posting about a store owner who saved himself and three others from two armed thugs when I came across this story. Two armed men confronted a mother and son in Halifax County and tried to rob them on their carport. What they didn't expect was that the son would run into the house, retrieve a gun and fire back. One suspect was wounded and the other was apprehended along with their getaway driver. Police later recovered a double barreled shotgun and a 12 guage pump believed to have been used in the crime. One of the robbers was wounded and all three are in custody and being held on bond. Two of the men have criminal records.
I sure hope that we will continue to enjoy the Right to Keep and Bear Arms that is illustrated in this story and in my last posting. If we vote for candidates who support the 2nd Amendment, our rights stand a much better chance of remaining intact.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Goffe

Why Vote? One Store Owner Who Refused to Be a Victim is Alive Today to Tell You Why
Dear Friends,
This morning I read in the News & Observer about why our Right to Keep and Bear Arms are so critical. Two armed men attempted to rob a rural gas station near Micro yesterday afternoon. What they didn't count on was that the owner was armed and ready. In a daring daylight robbery attempt, one suspect entered the store and shot it out with the owner. Also in the store was the owner's son and two other employees. The would-be robber ran out of the store to a waiting car where his accomplice was waiting with a rifle. The thug in the car also shot at the owner, who retrieved a second handgun. Sheriff's deputies found the first robber in the car - dead. The man with the rifle fled and was later arrested and is now in jail. Neither the store owner or the other 3 law-abiding people in the store were injured. According to the News & Observer article, "'They robbed the wrong store,' Bizzell said. 'By being armed, the store owner may have saved his own life and those of the others inside.'"
Had this happened in Chicago or New York City where citizens are essentially prohibited from lawfully owning a handgun, the outcome would have likely been the other way around. Fortunately, we have representatives who defend our rights. We also can be thankful that the Johnston County Sheriff's Department is on the job as an additional line of defense. This is why it is imperative that we must vote for candidates who support our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. I can think of 4 people who are glad to have them, and 2 criminals who are not. You can find a list of NRA Endorsed candidates in my Voter's Guides that were posted last week. Please take a look at the links on the right and exercise your right to vote.

Tip of the Day: Senator Richard Burr will be appearing at several rallies today across the 2nd Congressional District. You can see the schedule for this NRA Endorsed Candidate online. I plan on being at the Goldsboro rally at 4:30 and Zebulon later. That one is slated to run from 5:00-8:00 and organizers hope to fill the 5,000 seat stadium.
Sincerely yours,
