The neighborhood where it happened is in Boaz, Kentucky. Lawrence Bermingham lives across from where the home off of McNeil Lane. He said the neighborhood used to be a peaceful place, which is why he moved there to retire. The neighborhood is shocked by the news of the break-in. |

"The break-in has multiple neighbors concerned about their safety and wondering what their rights are in protecting their homes."
The fact that there are Americans who are so naďve that they have to ask this question is disgusting.
“To be honest with you, I keep a gun by my night stand, and I plan to keep myself protected,” Bermingham said.
Which is good when you're in bed. You should keep it on your person, ready to go, ALL THE TIME. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
