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.

Mission Possible?

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]

Good morning, Ms. Dhillon. Your mission, should you choose to accept it…

Holiday crime fears grow as ‘jugging’ thieves target shoppers carrying cash and gifts: ‘Only a matter of time’ – Criminals follow victims from ATMs and banks to steal cash and purchases during busy shopping season [More]

We’re the Only Ones Falling Down on the Job Enough

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]

I thought Kash and Bongino were supposed to be the answers to our prayers…?

Maybe ask ’em “WTF?”

Gut Check

Trust your gut [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…

An Ounce of Prevention

True. Although, rather than every kill beginning at Kays or going to Jared, I prefer the Lance Thomas solution.

Thing is, at 88, the best he could have hoped for would be to take a few of these animals with him.

Think any of these young worthies had priors?

And who needs an “assault weapon”?

It Worked. They Scared Him.

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?

Deadly triple shooting at apartment complex stemmed from robbery, Sacramento sheriff says… The sheriff’s office said all four men involved in the shooting had prior felony convictions and were prohibited from possessing guns. [More]

Being on probation with an ankle monitor was a nice touch.

And yeah, he absolutely had a right to defend himself. If they all had been in custodial care where they belong, guns would not have been part of the equation.

Why is it I get the feeling the goal isn’t really to reduce “gun violence”?

Dr. John Lott and Rep. Thomas Massie acknowledge a reality that blood-dancing Democrats don’t want Americans to be exposed to.
