Notes from the Resistance
Licensed gun owner turns tables on would-be carjackers amid soaring Chicago violence [More]
Funny how one gun owner reacting to Travell and Anton the way they need to be dealt with makes more sense than insulated billionaires throwing money at the problem.
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

Ask if they’ll sign one of these:
I thought at first it might be an Ohio law thing about places that serve alcohol, but Giffords, of all groups, gives us an “out”:
Ohio also generally prohibits possession of firearms in establishments licensed to sell liquor in rooms or open air arenas where alcohol is being served on premises, although this restriction generally does not apply to people who are licensed to carry handguns or otherwise eligible for permitless carry, if they are not consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and if the establishment does not restrict firearm carrying.
I see some comments suggest carrying anyway and they’ll never know. I won’t for two reasons that have nothing to do with their property rights: First, anyone telling me up front they don’t trust me and would rather see me dead than armed won’t get a dime from me, and second, advertising up front that they’re a gun-free zone attracts dangerous scumbags I’d rather not expose myself and my family to.
A man was arrested early Wednesday in New York City after fatally shooting an armed robber in Queens, according to law enforcement. [More]
They would literally rather see you dead than armed.
America, Guns, and Freedom picks apart each argument of the medical professions’ attempts to link guns and public health. [More]
A powerful and persuasive author lauds the work of a powerful and persuasive author.
This is a belief in authoritarian supremacy and the magic of the badge of the “Only Ones,” like the Pontifical Swiss Guard and Gendarmerie Corps. [More]
Armed guards with state-of-the-art weaponry for them and martyrdom for the rest of us…
Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors.

If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.
Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”

Perhaps revisiting the hypocrisy of calling for citizen disarmament from behind the protection of the armed-to-the-teeth Swiss Guard is in order.
A Tribute to a Defender of Freedom and Scholar, Robert A. Waters [More]
Miguel A. Faria, MD, acknowledges the contributions a “fellow researcher” has made to the public’s understanding of how firearms in the hands of moral and rational people are used to defend against predators.
“The death of Banko Brown … was nothing short of a lynching,” one speaker said. “And anyone that stands beside that is standing beside lynching. [More]
The lynch mob, which did not review the evidence the prosecutor did, equates self-defense with lynching. Who thinks they’d be this ginned up if the victim were a straight white Republican instead of a black trans?

We could even encourage worried homeowners to buy bear spray for protection. I backpack, and it’s well known that bear spray is more effective against a charging grizzly than a handgun. Probably also more effective against a home invader. Think of it as harm reduction. [More]
That ought to go real well indoors.
As for outdoors, I’m thinking the Tueller drill shows a human can traverse 21 feet in a second-and-a-half and I’m guessing how long an 800 Lb. bear at 35mph would take and how close it actually has to get to be assured of a face-full, and wondering if that would be enough, and then remembering how some have been seen rolling around in pepper spray, and noting rangers carry guns, and then what he’d do against an armed home assailant, and… what the hell. It’s not like this chronic idiot is worth debating.

Good– Democrat-enabled crime is waking people up to the reality that they’re on their own. But unless he’s physically incapacitated, you gotta wonder what kind of man relies on his wife to defend him.
