Yesterday, through the inspiration of Weer&#8217;d Beard, many blogger featured pictures of a lit candle and their means of protecting home and hearth. A couple have gone even beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>The first comes from bloggers <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.joehuffman.org\/2012\/01\/09\/TooManyVictims.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Huffman<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-minuteman.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barron Barnett<\/a> who produced a video featured Joe&#8217;s daughter and members of the Lewiston Pistol Club.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OnH7Cw08OyI\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The second comes from blogger Sean Sorrentino who held a counter-protest in Raleigh, NC across from the United Community Church of Christ. His counter protest garnered interviews from both the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/2012\/01\/09\/1763477\/gun-control-advocates-hold-memorial.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raleigh News and Observer<\/a> &#8211; the largest newspaper in eastern North Carolina &#8211; and from <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.nbc17.com\/news\/2012\/jan\/08\/vigil-gun-violence-victims-ar-1793022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC17<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sean writes about both of these stories <a href=\"http:\/\/ncguns.blogspot.com\/2012\/01\/now-this-is-more-like-it.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ncguns.blogspot.com\/2012\/01\/i-made-eleven-oclock-news-video.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. Sean lives in Wake County which has a population of over 900,000 people. One person with an effective counter protest garners as much attention from the media as approximately fifty from NCGV. <\/p>\n<p>The creative counter protests seem to be irritating the anti-gunners. As <a href=\"http:\/\/gunfreezone.net\/wordpress\/index.php\/2012\/01\/08\/we-are-raaaaacists-and-homophobes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miguel at Gun Free Zone reports<\/a>, one <a href=\"http:\/\/southfloridadailyblog.blogspot.com\/2012\/01\/westboro-baptist-church-of-gun.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">south Florida anti-gun lefty blogger<\/a> equates our countering the Brady Campaign&#8217;s plea for attention with that of the Westboro Baptist Church. That&#8217;s right &#8211; since we believe in self-defense and protecting our loved ones &#8211; we are branded as racist, ne&#8217;er-do-well homophobes. If that pathetic response is the best they can do, we&#8217;ve won.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE:<\/b> Barron and Joe&#8217;s video generated many comments on the CSGV Facebook page including Joan Peterson&#8217;s &#8220;OMG&#8221;.
