46 total voters

36 (78%) say “Yes”
5 (11%) say “Only assault rifles”
3 (7%) say “No”
2 (4%) say “Who’s Obama?”

The interesting thing is that despite Obama openly saying he opposes conceal carry licenses, and believe that all semi automatic firearms (handguns and rifles) should be banned 7% of the people who voted in the poll still said no.

An intoxicated burglar invaded two homes in Anchorage, Alaska. The incident began when the criminal, Bowen Alexander, crashed the vehicle he was driving, and then broke into a home to steal the resident’s vehicle. Before he was able to steal the vehicle, Alexander left the residence, and entered an adjacent home.

This resident heard the commotion, and fired on Alexander. The shot missed, but Alexander immediately fled, falling through a window on his way out, causing minor injuries.

The police were able to apprehend Alexander, with the help of a canine unit. Alexander faces charges including, assault, burglary, driving under the influence and resisting arrest.

His barking dog awakened a Baptist minister early one morning.  Deciding to investigate, he grabbed his .454 Casull revolver and slid open the front door.

What he found was quite alarming — a man high on narcotics was holding a brick in the air, pounding on the side of the house and shouting.

The minister retreated inside, but the crazed man forced his way through the door.

Fearing for his safety, the minister pointed his revolver at the suspect, ordered him to the floor and held him for police.

A responding deputy had to use a Taser on the suspect before taking him into custody.
