Stills from video footage showing the moment a policeman is shot in the head on a Paris street by terrorists soon after they murdered 12 people at the offices of the publisher Charlie Hebdo in 2015. Terror like this could be coming to American streets thanks to Biden's open border policy.

FBI Director Christopher Wray must be frustrated. He issued one of the strongest terrorism warnings earlier this week, but few seemed to notice and even fewer seemed to care. Instead, the legacy media remained fixated on the testimony of former special counsel Robert K. Hur, who concluded that Joe Biden committed multiple federal crimes but was too incompetent to stand trial. While Hur’s findings were certainly newsworthy, they were not news. Most of the country already knew Old Yeller’s best days are behind him.

Wray’s warning, however, was dire. He told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that known or suspected terrorists were infiltrating the country across the wide-open southern border using counterfeit documents. One of the smuggling networks, he said, has ties to ISIS. Add to this the thousands of unknown border crossers from countries that hate us, and the more than 80,000 military-age males from China, and you have a terrorist hellbroth just waiting to bubble over.

“The threats from homegrown violent extremists that is jihadist-inspired, extremists, domestic violent extremists, foreign terrorist organizations and state-sponsored terrorist organizations all being elevated at one time since October 7, though, that threat has gone to a whole other level,” Wray said. “And so, this is a time I think for much greater vigilance.”

We should thank Director Wray for his timely information and for his candor. This is precisely why we have fought so long and so hard to restore our Second Amendment rights, so that law-abiding Americans no longer have to bend a knee and beg the Crown to sell them back their constitutional rights in the form of a permit to carry defensive arms. Constitutional carry levels the playing field, making it easier for the good guys and gals to lawfully carry arms.

In the 29 states that now offer some form of constitutional carry, when a terrorist rears their ugly head – be they a card-carrying ISIS member or a lone-wolf jihadist – Americans can take immediate action without waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond.

Time and time again, we have seen how judicious marksmanship can end a madman’s murderous plans.

  • In 2015, an off-duty police officer shot two home-grown terrorists who were trying to gain entry to an exhibit at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, which featured images of Muhammad. ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) took credit for the attack – their first upon American soil.
  • In 2019, 71-year-old Jack Wilson dropped a 43-year-old shotgun-wielding madman, who had fatally shot two parishioners at the West Freeway Church of Christ in a Fort Worth suburb, with a single round to the head.
  • In 2022, Elisha Dicken fired 10 rounds from his Glock at a madman who was shooting people inside an Indiana shopping mall. Eight of Dicken’s rounds struck the bad guy, who was 40-yards away. Dicken was carrying his Glock lawfully because of Indiana’s recently enacted constitutional carry law.

Despite these and many lesser-known examples, the left and the legacy media they control still consider an armed response by a private citizen a fantasy. Instead, they continue to push the laughable Run, Hide, Fight response.

One of the most important lessons learned after last year’s Hamas attacks is that terrorists are capable of much better planning than most thought possible, especially when paired with a state sponsor such as Iran. There is no reason not to believe a terrorist group would be even more prepared for an attack on American soil. Their target analysis will likely include the possibility of armed opposition. In other words, the terrorists are more likely to focus on a target where concealed carry is heavily regulated if not impossible, and civilians have no option other than to run, hide or fight.

Despite our misgivings about the FBI and how it has been weaponized by the Biden-Harris administration, Wray’s warning should not go unheeded. However, now is not the time for paranoia. The main goal of terrorism is to terrorize. They want us to overreact, change our lifestyle and curtail our own freedoms.

Instead, use the time Wray has given us to service or upgrade your EDC. Replace batteries. Re-confirm zero. Buy those extra mags you’ve wanted. Most importantly, go to the range and train. Shoot up your old defensive ammo and replace it with new.

The author’s EDC consists of a Staccato C2 with a Streamlight TRL-7A and a Holosun HE508T, a Benchmade Emerson CQC7, a Streamlight Wedge, spare mag and a C&G holster. Author Photo

There are 21 states that do not offer any form of constitutional carry, including several that make it nearly impossible for law-abiding Americans to defend themselves. This will prove to be a deadly mistake and it must change. Once your EDC is prepped, please help make that change.

Constitutional carry saves lives and it should be the law of the land. Every American should enjoy their God-given right of self-defense, regardless of where they live. It may be the only thing that saves Americans when the next inevitable attack occurs on our soil.

    • Everyone should read that book, “Day of Wrath” by William Forstchen author of “One Second After” & “One Year After” and prepare accordingly, well everyone but “Deludeian” and “69-ing Minors” as they would take it as a primer on how to oppose us.

      • Thanks for mentioning “Day of Wrath”, I am reading it now. Somehow, I missed this books release, nearly 10 years ago. Probably because I was in Iraq in 2014, dealing with the ISIS situation.

        William Forstchen is prescient and a great story teller.

        • I read it at the release, and it’s not an easy or ‘fun’ read.

          But it’s critical every American reads it, as it lays out in gruesome detail just how a multi-pronged attack by motivated true-believer scumbags would go down… 🙁

    • Don’t have the ability to watch for a while but what does my state’s bever in chief have to say now?

    • The fastest and most sure-fire way of shutting down “The 2A only applies to muskets” is to point out that in that case, to be logically-consistent, the 4th amendment only applies to searches of your personal papers, written by hand with ink, not your cellphone or laptop.

      Then tell them to hand over their unlocked laptop and cellphone to you so you can see their browser history and contact list.

      After all, if they’re not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to hide, right?

      Civil rights clearly follows advances in technology…

    • We’re dealing with looney tunes whose main play is word games, let’s keep ourselves out of that crap. We certainly do NOT have a right to an AR-15! We have a right to buy one, to own one, to carry one, to defend ourselves with one, but today’s language says a right to one means someone else is somehow required to give us one. There is no free lunch, we have a right to earn the money and pay a dealer for one, not to go to a court and demand that dealer (or anyone else) give it to us for free.

  3. It’s funny to watch the fed try and have it’s cake and eat it too.
    We’re all supposed to be in constant fear of this unknown terror threat but we’re also supposed to welcome anyone and everyone over the border out of infinite compassion.

    Which is it? Probably both because when presented with contradictory truths people tend to just shut down and opt out which has always been a thing the fed wants.

      • “They’re moslems. Moslems commit over 99% of all terror on the Earth.”

        Look, everyone!

        The ‘Stormfront’ jerkoffs are here!

        • Muslims ARE the greatest terror threat on the planet. If you don’t get that after 9/11, you’re just a sad sack with his head buried up his own tailpipe.

    • Just remember that the people coming here illegally are much better than you. They’re our strength. Oh, and they built this country, especially the murdering ones, somehow. That’s what the Puppet told me. The scary threat is coming from anyone who doesn’t vote for Democrats.

    • Not the sheriff of Cook county,ILLannoy! Dart hates my having a gat & every legal gat owner.

  7. Serious self-defenders against active shooters should carry spare whiteboard erasers to throw at the assailant, because that’s the highly effective defense that school districts approve of in their schools.

  9. Wray is frustrated? How ’bout, “Wray is frustrating”? Why don’t they stop giving us warnings and do something about it instead of constantly terrorizing law abiding Americans?! Islamic terrorists have been coming over the border for at least ten years that I know of, so what’s new? Yeah, we know they’re dangerour so stop trying to take our guns away! The Bitin’ regime is too duplicitous for words!

    • We cannot expect the government will effectively protect us; we must be prepared to protect ourselves.

  10. The time has come to begin carrying a serious rifle in your vehicle, if you are able to do so legally. Two or three spare standard size magazines should be included, along with a trauma kit. If you can’t use the latter, someone else may be able.

    It might also be a good idea to remain in your right frame of mind, even at home. Pare back on the alcohol and/or other mind altering substances, if you are so inclined to use such chemicals. You never know when and where the unthinkable will happen

    • I hear you on the rifle. I was thinking the same way while reading this. Its gonna be hard to put up much fight against AK 47s w my 6 shooter

      • Pack ear protection with that rifle, you’ll need it…

        • If you have time for ear pro you have time to GTFO. The best way to win a gunfight is not to be in one.

  12. “Wray’s warning, however, was dire. He told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that known or suspected terrorists were infiltrating the country across the wide-open southern border” …

    As far as I can tell, Director Wray is a dyed-in-the-wool supporter of the Democrat Party and I cannot, for the life of me, see how he would issue such a statement which clearly undermines Democrats’ deeply cherished “open border” objective.

    If Wray is a Democrat supporter, why would he issue such a statement? If Wray is NOT a Democrat supporter, why hasn’t the Biden administration fired him?

    The only possible way that I can explain how Wray would be a Democrat supporter and the Biden administration would NOT fire him is if the Democrat Party intends for Wray’s statement to advance support for a greater surveillance/police state while somehow NOT eroding support for their “open border” nonsense.

    Am I wrong on any of those points? Am I missing something?

    • I wondered about the end goal too. Who is this guy speaking the truth without being reprimanded. Sux we have to think that way

    • “Trump taps Christopher Wray to head FBI

      Christopher Wray served as an assistant attorney general from 2003 to 2005 during the tenure of former President George W. Bush.
      By LOUIS NELSON, ELANA SCHOR and SEUNG MIN KIM
      06/07/2017 07:53 AM EDT

      “I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow,” the president wrote.
      Wray served as an assistant attorney general from 2003 to 2005 during the tenure of former President George W. Bush.”

      • Hmm. I doubt that Bush would appoint a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat to Director of the FBI. Sounds like I was wrong on my take on Wray as a Democrat supporter: instead he is a Conservative who decided that he had to warn the masses even if it meant losing his job?

        I may have an explanation. I seem to remember hearing from some place that the federal Executive Branch almost never replaces a sitting FBI Director to reflect their current political party–instead opting for continuity of leadership regardless of which party occupies the White House. If that is correct, then the Biden administration would be reluctant to replace Wray. And since the legacy media Democrat Party Propaganda Apparatus dutifully runs interference for Democrats, the Democrat Party probably figures that Wray’s recent pronouncements will not significantly damage their ability to realize their objectives since he won’t get any significant traction in the Press.

        • Wray has been a terrible director from day one. At this point, the main goal of a good, moral director has to be reforming the FBI. Wray is a very pro-regime neocon. Notice how the anti-Trump “Republicans” are all connected to the Bush Administrations.

  13. For reference, if there are terrorists in our nation and they are serious about attacking us, I have to think that their attack would be so significant that a citizen armed with a handgun will be nothing more than a speed bump.

    For example: it is easy to imagine terrorists assembling a five-man team armed with semi-automatic rifles who proceed to storm a location. In that scenario that five man team is almost guaranteed to promptly neutralize one or two citizens armed with nothing more than handguns.

    In that previous scenario, the only way that I can picture an armed citizen accomplishing anything would be putting on his/her “sniper” hat and proceeding to pick-off one or MAYBE two terrorists before the terrorists send a hail of bullets in the defender’s direction. At that point all the terrorists would have to do is advance on the defender from multiple directions and the defender is toast unless the defender retreats–at which point the defender is now ineffective.

    • That same person would die with or without his/her handgun. If they can kill or wound one hostile they have done some good. Sometimes you are just in a no win scenario.

      I’d like to have the option to fight back.

    • Surely there’s a squirrel hunter or two that could pick off a few muzzie teroritz with their .22 or .17 effectively. A gun behind every blade of grass and such.

    • What if another citizen joins in repelling the attack? if the bad guys get 5 combatants why do the defenders get 1?

      The takers of flight 93 found that out.

    • We aren’t discussing a video game. If you are rocking a .50 Barrett and carrying an extra 200 rounds of ammo, after practicing and rehearsing for 2 years, a .38 Spl between the eyes from a 5-shot snubbie will STILL drop your ass and all your delusions of grandeur right into the mud, even if it was just purchased yesterday. We need EVERYBODY carrying, even if it’s a 2-shot derringer.

  14. Maybe people just aren’t paying attention to the whinging after years and years of “dire warnings” that any second now the White Rural Incel MAGA Terrorists(TM) are going to start massacring people.

  15. Concealed is concealed.

    Truck (long) gun (or AR/Draco pistol).

    Trauma kit w/>1 tourniquets.

    Your round count will matter.

    Carry on.

    • I am going to capture my terrorists and waterboard them, I have no other choice when demented democRats said they would not waterboard no matter if it meant saving thousands of lives.

      TRUMP 2024.

      • “I am going to capture my terrorists and waterboard them,…”

        More likely, to use that sweaty, swarthy terrorist to get what you’re not getting at home, I’ll bet.

        (Nothing wrong with that, a woman has certain ‘needs’ to be satisfied and truly happy… 😉 )

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gYPxDtc32w

  17. Wow. Have another violent fantasy to share? Chinese Army invades the West Coast? Martians invade metro NYC? Robot revolution?

  18. “We should thank Director Wray for his timely information and for his candor.”

    Really? WTF??

    We should thank that perennially, pathologically lying sack of you-know-what for nothing! He could not possibly care less about the country whose oath of office he has forsworn time and again. What does he care about? Just Christopher Wray, that’s what. He is an amoral and committed Deep State operative to his core. I could keep going, but any reader with a pulse gets this. Any who does not, well: better make an appointment w. Sleepy/Creepy Joe’s gerontologist.

    Meanwhile: Believe nothing until it has been officially denied. The corollary: Disbelieve anything officially proclaimed.

  19. The Texas Governor aught to call out the TxNG to check all the bags of the legal illegal mygrunts.
    A citizen as the first line of defense. Well that sounds historic however the first legal illegal mygrunt terrorist gets shot they’ll string the Patriot Citizen up for show and tell.
    Our President, The Greatest President America Has or Ever Will Have, Joseph Robinett Biden has things well under control. He has a plan to stop the colonization of America.
    We don’t know what it is, they don’t know what it is, he don’t know what it is, but he’s got a plan.

    • Possum, “We don’t know what it is, they don’t know what it is, he don’t know what it is, but he’s got a plan.”
      Problem is he can’t remember the plan!

  20. “Americans can take immediate action without waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond.”

    No we can’t. CCW permit aside, what you are suggesting would be criminal.

    Here is someone that has lived through non-terrorist defense shootings on the subject which would apply in the situation described in this piece, that may have been written by a fed looking for his next domestic terrorism arrest:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofwUAkcpzDY

    His hour long video on surviving mass shootings that isn’t on YouTube but on the Odd Sea is worth viewing as well and should have been required viewing for anyone not looking to come off as a fed in writing this.

    • “No we can’t. CCW permit aside, what you are suggesting would be criminal.”

      No such thing was suggested. The context here is when that threat shows up for you, not that you go out and hunt it down or don’t try to escape it if you can.

      “Americans can take immediate action without waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond.”

      was meaning the traditional first responders, and that Americans should be prepared to meet that imminent right-there-that-moment-in-time threat when it shows up because its a fact that an imminent threat to a person is not mitigated or stopped by “waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond”.

      If it were that simple…. waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond… all we would need to do is simply yell out “I’m waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond so ya can’t do anything to me so nah nah nah boo boo stick your head in doo doo.”

      An imminent right-there-that-moment-in-time threat requires an immediate response then and “waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond” simply can not provide that and that is 100% fact. You are literally your own first responder for that imminent threat and no one else is going to come save you by you “waiting for First Responders to arrive, assess the situation, plan and then respond”

  21. What? Terrorists coming across our southern border? Color me surprised.
    Wray’s warning should be taken seriously by everyone. As we all know, Dems wont. That would be racist, even when those same terrorists are shooting unarmed, innocent civilians in gun free zones.

  22. “Most of the country already knew Old Yeller’s best days are behind him.”

    Referring to Biden as “Old Yeller” here is incorrect and ‘misplaced’. “Old Yeller” was faithful to his ‘mans best friend’ relationship – Biden on the other hand has not been faithful to his required and ‘oath sworn’ relationship with the U.S. Constitution or the American people.

    Joe Biden committed multiple federal crimes but was too incompetent to stand trial according to the report. But that does not excuse him. Biden is a downright criminal, committed criminal acts and is willfully a lawless president.

  23. Could we have possible terrorists amongst the illegals pouring into the country? Yes.
    Terrorism has been a risk for years now. And most without training and experience in combat or in dealing with an ambush or other attack will freeze up or be slow to react and respond.
    Shock and surprise is what terrorists depend on to be successful in their attacks. Same as our own SF people such as the SEALS and USASF personnel.
    Overcoming that shock is what makes the difference.
    So, being observant, practicing marksmanship from cover or odd positions and being aware of potential entrance/exit points would be a reasonable precaution.
    As for being afraid, nope, I refuse to live in fear of anyone or anything. A bit of caution or a healthy respect for what could harm you is good. Fear profits you nothing.

    • “And most without training and experience in combat…”

      People will not be the first target. Anyone who wants to put a hurt on the country will be shooting at transformers in substations. Instant blackouts, and if coordinated, across the entire country. And with the current supply of replacements it will be years to replace them.

      Heat, cold, thirst, starvation will ‘take care of’ most of the population. No ‘combat’ involved.

      • Yea I better save my pennies to get a solar power station soon cuz when they cut the power here in the dezert we gonna cook to det. Any one got spare change? An extra $3-4k laying around?

      • They don’t even have to hit all the substations.

        115/230/512kv switch yards / transmission points would be a much smaller number of points to hit, and the ready availability of the replacement transformers for high voltage conversion points are even less.

        And no, I’m not ‘revealing’ any information that a state sponsored guerilla operation wouldn’t already be aware of.

  25. Chinese terrorists, lol, not, they are good people who escaped the CCP somehow (?) and are just coming to America to open a laundromat.

  26. A retired Army infantry Colonel, Kurt Schlichter, has explored this issue in depth. Read ‘The Attack!’ and prepare. All the pieces are already in place thanks to Biden’s open border.

  27. Carry reloads. Remember the terrorist drill:

    “Two to the chest. Face get the rest” shoot until the target is unable to move. They may have an explosive device to trigger

  28. Wray is just trying to get out front of the attack on the RNC convention this summer. He can say “I warned you.” That or a FBI orchestrated attack on some Democrat event then blame it on Republicans for not taking his warnings seriously.

    • Of course he is and the attackers will belong to his FBLie just like the two moslems at the “Draw Moo-Ham-Mud” contest in Texas. The real fun will be at the DNC Convention where attendees are set upon by their own, it’ll be ’68 on steroids with no Mayor Daley to rein in the nutso “activists” (terrorists), I can’t wait to see the mayhem.

  29. Yhis is not on Biden. It is on his entire political party, and on every single person who has voted for him.
