Notes from the Resistance
Apparently the defender has a past that disqualifies him from being allowed to defend himself by those absolving themselves of custodial responsibilities. The state’s answer is clear and brief.
Be nice if there were some way citizens under similar forced disability knew what the rules were to get recognition of their rights back…

They didn’t get him on a gun charge?
This is a heck of a case. Watch this, because he does a good job explaining Gardner v Maryland, where a traveler forced to defend herself got hosed by Maryland violence monopolists..
I want to know why my A-rated Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost did not join in with the other state AGs, and why my two A-rated Republican Senators, John Husted and Bernie Moreno, didn’t join in with Ted Cruz and all those other senators. I think I’ll ask them.
Also, in the briefs I’ve seen so far, there’s one case that’s not cited, and not being a lawyer that seems more than curious to me as it has direct bearing because it was decided by the Supreme Court.
In the infamous Dred Scott decision, SCOTUS made one admission that showed what the court’s thinking was on this exact issue when it rationalized:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, AND TO KEEP AND CARRY ARMS WHEREVER THEY WENT. [Emphasis added]
Educate a poor non-mouthpiece layman here who holds the simple notion that “shall not be infringed” means what it says and is jaded enough to believe the gun-grabbers understand that, too. Why isn’t anyone bringing up a part of Scott v Sandford that would survive where the rest of the decision would fall?

The day after an ABC15 investigation, Prescott’s police chief sent a defensive email to city leaders attempting to discredit the news report that revealed how her department arrested a man based solely on statements from a local fire chief and his family. [Watch]

You can debate federal policy all you want. But when your city faces a crime crisis, the question becomes simple: Will you accept help or grandstand while people suffer? [More]
That doesn’t change the fact that when seconds count, police — or agents — are minutes away.
Will you accept infringements on your right to protect yourself?
And don’t forget, both cities are run by Democrats/MAIG members, with the ones in Memphis doing their “best” to undermine TN permitless carry and preemption.

We know that something similar to what was forced on him, where we suddenly find ourselves having to defend ourselves against a previously unknown threat, could happen when we least expect it. And we know that police and prosecutors will often be personally and politically incentivized to treat us like criminals, and to interpret events to support their interests rather than ours. [More]
It could happen to you.
While the man who was killed has not been identified, the homeowner is sending a message to the family now grieving their loved one. “I apologize. Taking a life was never my goal. I wasn’t trying to kill him. I was just trying to save myself,” he said. [More]
Way to give police and prosecutors plenty to chew on if they ever decide to look closer for disconnects and try for a criminal prosecution. Way to give the family plenty if they go for a civil settlement.
Does he think either are motivated by a goal of absolving him?
For a guy who just had successful DGU, he’s sure got poor survival skills.
A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws. [More]

Three years ago, RealClearInvestigations reported that the FBI was undercounting the number of armed civilians who had thwarted active shooters by a factor of three. Even though the FBI acknowledged the issue at the time, it never corrected the error involving the politically fraught issue. In the years since, the problem has only gotten worse. [More]

Although I’m not sure I’d clear my own house. I did it once, years ago, there was nothing there, but I felt foolhardy afterward considering it might have resulted in running into more than I could handle — and over what that can’t be replaced — just so I could “feel” …what?
It’s not just a matter of deferring to the “Only Ones”– they have the manpower and tactical capabilities to maximize flushing out and minimize return risks, the biggest danger being they might trash the place or go into a neighbor’s house…

A 42-year-old Texas man is facing a murder charge in the shooting of an 11-year-old boy after the victim and his friends banged on the suspect’s door late Saturday night in what police described as a “ding-dong-ditch” prank that has been trending on TikTok and other social media platforms, authorities said. [More]
On the one hand, you can’t shoot a fleeing suspect in the back.
On the other hand, kicking and banging a door at night is an intentional act meant to terrify and significantly different from ringing the bell, and what the hell was an 11-year-old doing out at 10:55 pm?
