It is our sincere hope that you have been coached and guided in your life by a wise mentor. If you are lucky there will be more than one in your life.

Professor Paul has had many mentors and today we will consider the debt we owe to those who have provided us with wisdom and guidance.

During our SOTG Homeroom segment from Crossbreed Holsters, we will consider carrying a gun during the holidays. Sadly, some people feel as though evil will take a break until the new year. We students of the gun know better.

From studentofthegun.com/blog:

It was the middle of the day on June 21, 2013 in Millburn, New Jersey. A young mother of two sat in the living room watching cartoons with her three-year-old daughter. An eighteen month old son was asleep upstairs. Without warning, Shawn Curtis, a 42 year-old man entered the house and immediately attacked the young woman. A nanny cam recorded the vicious and brutal attack including the screams of the terrified woman. Her daughter sat frozen in fear as her mother was pummeled, choked and slammed around the house.

What made this horrific attack even more heinous was the fact that Shawn Curtis had committed a nearly identical crime years earlier. He beat and brutalized a young mother in front of her child, leaving her bloody and battered before he stole her car. Curtis had been arrested, convicted, and was back on the street free to commit the Millburn attack.

Home Invasion Reality

A truly sick and disgusting comment on our modern world is the reality of home invasions. Unlike the days of old when people most feared a break-in while they were away, home invasions are violent intrusions into an occupied house. The Modus Operandi generally includes multiple armed felons who are prepared to attack and brutalize the occupants of the home.

Although the weak-minded apologists would label the previous paragraph as “fear mongering”, all that is required of an honest minded person is to pay attention to the news reports or conduct a quick search engine scan for the term “home invasion”. While writing this article I did just that and a news report only six hours old from N. Philadelphia topped the search page.

As a nation, the people of the United States have become so numb and tolerant of criminal behavior that they have allowed this plague to grow nearly unchecked. Rather than becoming outraged and demanding that home-invading monsters be put away for good, we instead shrug our shoulders and say a silent thanks that it was not us.
