Maryland Prosecutors Treat Veteran’s Self-Defense Claim as First Degree Murder
Despite extensive evidence proving his self-defense claims, Maryland continues to prosecute U.S. Army Veteran Alejandro Gonzalez and hold him without trial for more than 14 months. [More]
If they can do this to him they can do this to you.
Not Going Gentle
An 80-year-old Chicago man was hospitalized Monday following a home invasion Monday morning in which he shot an intruder. [More]
Guess where he’d have wound up if he hadn’t?
What’s with all the emphasis on his government permission slip?

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident
Potentially lethal force may require defensive deadly force by Miguel A. Faria, MD [More]
Now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with this 2016 classic from a medical expert who is also a champion of freedom.
This is kind of a side note that goes way off track, but all this information about cerebral contusions and subdural hematomas brings up an observation I had just last night while treating myself to reruns of Maverick on Tubi. He got knocked out twice in one episode with a gun butt, a trope that came up time and again on TV shows of the period, and that I recall was a pretty consistent plot device on this show in particular. That the “heroes” weren’t routinely killed or at least permanently disabled or vegetative tells us a bit about taking what we get from Hollywood seriously. Especially when they’re doing undisclosed bidding.
It also suggests where Rob may have gotten his “shoot-to-wound” nonsense from, and that brings me back full circle.
I’ll listen to a real expert.

A ‘Progressive’ DGU
Chicago Police wanted murder charges to be filed after a felon illegally carrying a gun shot a man repeatedly, killing him. Not only did Juan Ferba, 26, fire at least 14 rounds, striking Kristopher Willett a number of times — including three times in the head — but Ferba also hit a woman on a CTA bus with an errant round. However, Cook County’s Soros-funded State’s Attorney Kim Foxx looked at the case and pronounced it…self-defense. [More]
And he’s out.
If only they would mandate more “commonsense gun safety laws” for you and me…

Food for Thought
A restaurant diner legally in possession of a handgun watched the incident unfold, and intervened by drawing his weapon while giving Padron commands to stay on the ground and let go of the knife. [More]
All in Kathy Hochuls’ New York…
But wait a sec– we’ve been told gun owners are bloodthirsty white supremacists just waiting for someone to blast away and that those of us who haven’t killed anyone just aren’t murderers yet. So what’s this guy doing actually deterring violence?
Anybody know if Applebee’s has changed its policy? I haven’t had much incentive to go there and check for some time…

An Age-Old Question
At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]
Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?
UPDATE
And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

Who Doesn’t Love a Happy Ending?
Abusing the Abuser?
Mother of fatally shot restaurant robber says customer who fired multiple rounds ‘abused’ her son: ‘Why didn’t you stop? … He was dead already … That hurts.’ [More]
I’ve had my own questions about the shoot, but there’s one indisputable truth you just can’t get around: If you don’t want someone to shoot you in self-defense, don’t try to rob them at gunpoint, fake or otherwise.

Toy Story
The identity of a customer who fatally shot a masked robber inside a Houston taqueria and returned the stolen money to terrified diners remained a mystery Sunday as police released a surveillance image of him and requested he come forward for questioning… The gun the robber used to menace diners turned out to be a toy gun, police said. [More]
That’s one less genius to plague society.
The kill shot makes the Good Samaritan buying into “All we want to do is talk and no charges have been filed” problematic.

Burying the Lede
Jackson said a customer approached the robber with a concealed weapon, and the rest of the diners took the opportunity to run outside. No shots were fired, she said. [More]
So an armed citizen ensured that violence was averted? Why did we need to read down to the next-to-the-last paragraph to learn that?
