Notes from the Resistance
“I’m afraid a homeowner may think someone is trying to burglarize their residence and some innocent kid can get shot or killed.” [More]
If he’s banging on a door at 1 a.m. he’s hardly “innocent.”
You could give somebody a heart attack doing that.
And we all know what the gun safety expert in chief advised.
The robbery victim who fired a shot was a legal gun owner in another state and had a license to carry the weapon from one state to another. He was released without any charges. [More]
What was his first clue?
Good rule of thumb: Highly trafficked public area or “No thanks.”

Data posted at the Gun Violence Archive website shows 2023 produced fewer homicides, suicides, and gun-related injuries than in 2022, which indicates expansion of permitless carry laws, allowing more people to carry firearms for personal protection, did not result in more bloodshed as anti-gunners predicted.

Someone ought to write a book with that title…
Armed cartel guys showed up on an Arizona ranchers land. He was 75 years old with a sick wife. They shot at him. He returned fire. Cartels cleaned up the scene. Removed the guns. Now the media narrative is he killed a “migrant.” Rancher is facing 23 years in prison. [More]
Seems we’ve been over this before…

I wouldn’t put that sign up.
My audit background tells me information — in this case, intel — volunteered can be used against you.
I feel the same way about racking slides.

Witnesses told police a male suspect robbed the restaurant at gunpoint, firing shots at an employee. Police say the 21-year-old employee returned fire, striking the robber. [More]
For those who say violence is not the answer…
Sometimes it’s the only one.
Especially considering the problem that needs solving.

A 16-year-old was shot and critically injured during a home invasion, Mascotte police say. Police say the teen who was shot may have tried to break into at least two homes. [More]
That’ll help the grabbers with their “gun violence/children statistics, especially if he dies.

The gunshots killed 14-year-old Devin Baker, who was at the bedroom window of Wallace’s 8-year-old daughter early morning on Dec. 14. “It’s bothering me that he was a kid,” she said. [More]
So is her daughter. Sounds like the apartment managers were rooting for the creeper to get the girl.
As an aside, my spider-sense is telling me there’s more to this story.

Why “RUN HIDE FIGHT” is all wrong… [More]
We used to feature Ed Monk’s stuff on our old GunTruths.com website.
“Over the course of their investigation, which included interviews with both Lindlers and witnesses, detectives determined the elder Lindler told his son to shoot the victim,” Lexington Sheriff Jay Koon said in a statement. “The shooting happened after the elder Lindler had taken a machete away from the victim, who was unarmed when he was shot and lived near the Lindlers on Seleta Circle.” [More]
So who talked to whom?
And if that’s the case, it’s no longer about property rights or self-defense and they deserve what they’re getting.

Prosecutors Agree He Shot a Man in Self-Defense. They’re Still Trying To Put Him in Prison. LaShawn Craig may spend years behind bars—because the gun he used to justifiably shoot someone was unlicensed. [More]
You know who agrees with that?
Every goddam gun owner and “gun rights leader” who says “Enforce existing gun laws.”

Alabama Robber Shouted, ‘Happy Holidays, I Don’t Want to Hurt Y’all,’ Then Blasted Bear Spray — so Store Owner Shot Her- After being wounded in the shoulder, the robber screamed, ‘I don’t want to die. Please stop’ [More]
Funny, how it works that way…
Funny, how freedom prohibitionists want to give sadistic cowards the advantage.
NRA has done something good, so it won’t hurt us to recognize that. Spreading this video far and wide can help promote RKBA and challenge prohibitionist lies. That includes throwing it in the faces of gun-grabbing Democrats in reply to their idiotic social media posts.
It needs to be followed up with a strong “Now Stop Voting for Democrats!” message, because that needs to change not just anecdotally, but dramatically.
