The man, a licensed CCW holder, pulled out his firearm, and was tackled by one of the individuals suspected of the assault. As he was tackled the gun went off, the release said. [More]
Damn rule breakers…

Hochul touts “red flag” gun seizures as polls show crime top concern for New Yorkers [More]
It’s instructive how she minimizes concerns over pandering to a key Democrat constituent bloc by turning a blind eye to effectively addressing real crime, opting instead to go after citizens who have not been tried for or convicted of anything.

A Gun Sense Candidate

It’s with a heavy heart that my family is impacted by gun violence.
Victims all! Sounds like just the person to dictate my family’s gun rules! And yours…

If the firefighter been armed things could have turned out much differently, especially if the deterrent effect resolved things without a shot being fired.
Alternatively, if he’d emerged victorious, who thinks he’d just be allowed to walk?

I never get tired of hearing about someone else giving the old Lance Thomas response! It sure beats going to Jared or Kays.
I wonder how soon until a sympathy-oozing reporterette interviews outraged family members complaining that the jeweler had no cause to have a gun and should have let the police they want to defund handle it.
I do wonder about the mall’s weapons policy and have not been able to find it.

We’re the Only Ones Stung Enough
Woman accused of using bees to attack sheriff’s deputies during Longmeadow eviction [Watch]
She was charged with “…four counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon…”? So that makes them assault bees?
People have been known to go into anaphylactic shock and die from bee stings, so between that and bystanders getting stung, and her saying it was “good” if people were allergic, she deserves to go down hard.
My money says she’s a Bernie supporter.

He can’t be trusted with an ax… he can’t be trusted with a can of spray paint… he can’t be trusted with somebody else’s bicycle… it’s almost like there’s a lesson to be learned here that society can’t quite (or doesn’t want to) put its finger on…
A Red Letter Day
Pennsylvania man indicted for threatening Biden, Bennie Thompson in letter that included unknown white powder – The threatening letter prompted a shelter-in-place order for staff inside the Rayburn House Office Building [More]
Gee, those Trump supporters, and by default red state Republicans and especially gun owners, sure are violent insurrectionists that must be stopped at all costs, aren’t they?
It’s curious, how you have to go all the way down to the next-to-the-last paragraph to find:
Investigators alleged the threatening letter was sent by Vargo from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
And you have to go elsewhere to find:
In mid-July, Vargo was the target of a manhunt after he escaped from the facility where he was being held on charges in connection to a previous burglary. Authorities said he had walked away from the minimal offenders unit. He was re-arrested days later with his girlfriend, Amanda Saxer, in South Carolina.
No matter, the goal of finding guilt to be shared by association has been accomplished. Way to go, Faux News!
Funny thing about the letter being sent from the slammer though– it was written and sent from a government-controlled facility where they knew the guy was a troublemaker and a risk. When I think back to how they strip-searched Wayne Fincher’s mail, it makes me wonder how Vargo’s breezed on through– unless someone found it advantageous to allow it.
Then again, Wayne was a truly dangerous man. He believed in freedom.
