Notes from the Resistance
An armed customer in Cedar Hill, Texas, shot and killed an alleged bank robber Monday morning in a Chase branch around 9:00 a.m. [More]
Until he’s cleared, shouldn’t it be “allegedly shot and killed”?
Why’s a gun owner doing business with a bank that terminated the account of the Wiki Weapon Project’s company, Defense Distributed “without warning or explanation”?

And not just against human animals…
You gotta wonder how many still vote Democrat.
Gun-grabbers would rather they’d all been killed than armed — preferably with a gun so that it could be exploited.

Prosecutors today cleared Payne, based on Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, saying the State would not be able to overcome her claim that she was in fear of great bodily harm. [More]
Jeez, listen to the family and you’d never know he wasn’t anything but a saintly victim “tragically taken from us as the result of a senseless act of violence.”
Don’t get in arguments over stupid stuff. Walk away if you can.
Ah, I think I see why CBS was supportive of the shoot this time:
… he allegedly hurled the N-word at her …

Gun prohibitionists, that is, Democrats, would rather see you and those you love and protect mauled to death and eaten than armed.
A knife-wielding woman stabbed two people in the heart of Times Square Monday afternoon before advancing on NYPD officers with two knives and being shot by police… [More]
See, the two mere citizen victims had their choices to do that taken away from them by “law.”
Overall, Americans own approximately 461 million firearms, consisting of approximately 208 million handguns, 154 million rifles, and 99 million shotguns. [More]
And DGUs are back in the millions.
Yeah, well how do they vote, if at all?
Homeless man suing for $10 million after breaking into business and being shot by owner [More]
To be fair, every time I see an intruder with bolt cutters, I figure he’s just trying to keep warm. And who wouldn’t believe the burglar’s version of what went down?
What the heck was the owner shooting? And, rather than finish the job he called for an ambulance to save the guy’s life? No good deed goes unpunished, especially with no shortage of ambulance-chasing shysters who know extortion and settling out of court lets them collect from the productive with minimal effort.

BASED Elderly Woman in Tucson Pulls Gun and Chases Shoplifter Out of Ross – Police Warn Bystanders Risk ASSAULT Charges for Stopping Crime [More]
“Elderly”? I bet I have at least 10 years on her, probably more, and I can still take on snarling feral sons Uday and Qusay while clenching a cigar between my teeth.
In any case, in this situation, where it doesn’t stay out as self-defense so any resulting DGU would be weighed against who first threatened whom, I’m with Rick Blaine.
Especially with a corporation that virtue signals its DEI “commitment.”

Alleged robber wearing ski mask shot and killed by delivery driver in Miami Gardens, police and witnesses say [More]
With actions like checking to see if neighbors had cameras that recorded the incident, it sounds like the defender’s detention was procedural. What’s unclear is how this will affect his livelihood, because it’s not like many people whose economic prospects make them choose to be delivery drivers have a lot of other options.
On the plus side, if he delivered for DoorDash, I can’t find any policy explicitly forbidding independent contractors from being lawfully armed. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, because it’d be just like the hysterical b_s at Moms Demand Action to start a harassment campaign.
A Laramie bartender faces felony charges after pulling a gun downtown. She says it was self-defense amid a volley of anti-queer slurs. [More]
Not for the words, but if in response to being pushed down, why?
The case is not helped by the ensuing confusion over it being a knife or a gun, and numerous self-admitted mental issues.

But not Levis. And Wrangler’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.
Google AI fails to see the humor:
60 years later, the UT Tower shooting stands as one of Texas’ darkest days [More]
Nothing about the “students with deer rifles … firing like crazy back at the Tower” that helped keep Whitman pinned down?

This is Ezequiel:
So, he’s a “socialist” (like Hitler and Mussolini!) warning against armed citizen intervention like we saw at the Twin Falls In-N-Out.
We know about Cooper’s rules, moron. Who do you think you hive insects stole them from?
I generally self-censor on language here, but I agree with the sentiment expressed above.

How can you blame Deputy Lafond for covering up when we see the example set by Sheriff Labat?

If they’re not outright lying, they’re committing lies of omission.
20 Wolves Charged Glenn Villeneuve in Arctic Alaska—His .30-06 Stopped the Pack [More]
For a guy who’s a recognized expert in that environment, I’m trying to understand why he went out the first time unarmed and the second time under-equipped.
