Notes from the Resistance
Neighbors defend St. Louis firefighter charged for firing weapon [More]
Too bad he told on himself.
The neighbors know the “authorities” won’t protect them and this is ripe for being capitalized on.

The Second Amendment references a militia, “the security of a free State,” and two specific rights–the right to possess arms and the right to carry them–and all of this is bound together by a general, overarching right to self-defense. To put it simply, the Second Amendment is multi-faceted. [More]
True enough.
And ignoring core purpose, which so many do, is a grave mistake.

The final night of a five-week citizens academy produced by the DEA St. Louis Division included a simulated “shoot – don’t shoot” scenario. “It takes literally a quarter of a second to get shot,” said Laura Bethany Strong, a St. Louis area resident after completing the simulation. [More]
And Laura doesn’t have a problem with someone who would do that being the only one with a choice?

There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes. Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense. Civilians are 85% more likely to use a firearm for defense than to be murdered by one. [More]
[Insert name of gungrabber here] would rather you be murdered than armed. Preferably by someone with a gun, to bolster their numbers.

Florida’s “stand your ground” provisions won’t give them a pass from prosecution if there’s a question of legality, or if a Democrat DA decides there’s ginned up anger they can exploit. [More]
But when it’s all said and done, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by six” applies.
Off-duty Atlanta police officer shot, killed while breaking into Douglas County home, deputies say [More]
So, he had mental health/narcotics issues and no one noticed, and they still unleashed him on the public?
On the plus side, they can now distance themselves by calling him a “former officer.”

“He knocked on the door, yelled, and announced himself, ‘Hey, I’m looking for somebody to help me remove this stuff. I’m willing to pay!’” Treadway said. [More]
And shooting him “five to six times” was covered by castle doctrine?
Bull$h!+.
There’s more to this story not being told here, and it’s being used to disparage home defense.
Starting with court records can’t say exactly how many times the autopsied corpse was shot…?

THREE MENTAL KEYS TO WINNING A CONFRONTATION [More]
I saw “Ken Good” and remembered the name:
His curriculum vitae reads like a character’s from a Tom Clancy novel. Putting it bluntly, he can shoot, fight, free-fall parachute in, scuba dive out, blow things up, and otherwise deploy in jungle, mountain, marine, and urban environments. Yet, with candor typical of true professionals, he admits up front that “our staff does not know it all, nor have we ‘arrived’. We are in a constant state of learning and consider ourselves perpetual students.”
Caleb Gannon gets a unique new hiccup treatment. [More]
And is called a martyr.

Damn right you should have. The unpredictable raging moron had already proven his willingness to be a lethal threat and could have fired at any second.
If you leave all the choices to the attacker, he’s the one who gets to make them.
