A Wake-Up Call

Police say Danisment did not deny the attack, instead claiming that he “saw red” and blacked out. [More]

And he looks like such an otherwise rational individual…

Amazing how self-interest suddenly allows the mind to focus…

Not to be judgmental (!), and the good armed citizen had no way of knowing, but you gotta wonder if a woman who would mate with that is worth sticking your neck out for. It’s not like ol’ Cap Stabben hasn’t told the world what he thinks of them…

Right Neighborly of Them

Armed neighbors detain man after break-in at St. Charles home with kids, sheriff’s officials say [More]

Funny… their guns didn’t kill, either…

The grabbers would rather he’d succeeded. And murdered the mom and kids with a gun so they’d have something new to scream about.

Maybe they can still salvage something by smearing the neighbors as “vigilantes.”

To Keep from Getting Beaten to Death is No Excuse to SHOOT Someone

“Indisputable” video evidence shows Barry Washington “assaulted Ian Cranston without provocation, resulting in head injuries that required the police to take [him] to the hospital where a brain scan and other procedures had to be performed,” Cranston’s attorney reports. [More]

Disregard reality.

We’ve established that’s racist.

Who’s Responsible?

‘Publix denies any liability’ for grandmother, toddler’s murders in Florida grocery store [More]

Ordinarily, I’d agree unless deliberate indifference to known dangers could be demonstrated. We are generally responsible for our own defense. Still, statements against customers being armed don’t help discourage predators, although, in Florida, open carry outside of specifically defined limited circumstances still isn’t an option.

As for companies that disallow any kind of carry, I’d like to see more gun owners hand the manager this card and spread the word about his refusal to sign it:

Laying the Foundation

Why Former Slave States Became the Foundation of American Gun Culture [More]

Because white people are racist, of course!

Who couldn’t see that coming?

And did you know that “It’s only relatively recently that Americans have come to believe that guns keep a person safe and secure”? (Forget “security of a free State”– the old slave owners were obviously talking about a collective right!)

Pencil-necked academic and critic of “meritocracy [and] the Protestant Work Ethic” Nick Buttrick said it, I believe it, and that settles it!

Speaking of Shoddy Conclusions…

The Shoddy Conclusions of the Man Shaping the Gun-Rights Debate – John Lott is the most influential pro-gun researcher in the country. But his methods and findings have been repeatedly debunked. [More]

I see a lot of smears, a lot of ad hominem, and a lot of denials by those with vested monetary grant interests, but what I’m not seeing is actual data to refute him. Forgive me if I suspect a partnership with the Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace might play a factor in this obvious hit piece.

Incidentally, I had to open this in an “incognito” window because I’ve used up my “free” reads. Forgive me again if I don’t see anything offered by these smug effete elites worth paying for.

Plenty of truth to this cover, wouldn’t you say?

We’re the Only Ones Underreporting Enough

Massive errors in FBI’s Active Shooting Reports regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 4.4%, the correct number is at least 34.4%. In 2021, it is at least 49.1%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 50%. [More]

I’m sure that’s just an honest oversight and there’s nothing intentional, right?

Right…?

Not So Tough Customers

Two suspects were shot and killed in a jewelry store robbery Friday after the owner of the jewelry store opened fire, according to Orlando police. [More]

I never get tired of hearing about someone else giving the old Lance Thomas response! It sure beats going to Jared or Kays.

I wonder how soon until a sympathy-oozing reporterette interviews outraged family members complaining that the jeweler had no cause to have a gun and should have let the police they want to defund handle it.

I do wonder about the mall’s weapons policy and have not been able to find it.

Walking the Cat Back

‘Good thing I was packin!’ Utah man is stalked by a MOUNTAIN LION during hunting trip to Idaho before shooting at it twice to scare it off [More]

I’m not real big on warning shots. The clearly unafraid stalking predator was 20 feet away and a human in Tuellar drills can cover that distance in a second and a half. I think leaving it alive will come back to haunt someone else.

All I can figure is he didn’t have his elk-hunting rifle ready yet and wasn’t sure if the handgun had the requisite stopping power to take down a p!$$ed-off puma.

Mansplaining Your Options, Gals

As an alternative to carrying a gun, Hemenway suggests women who feel threatened choose a different route or run during the day, in groups. If a woman feels she needs protection, “bear spray is much safer to use and just as effective as a gun would be,” he says. [More]

Sometimes, all you need to do is present… and he doesn’t seem to factor in multiple assailants.

I wonder how he’d fare…

Who’d pay good money to watch?

Bringing a Gun to a Gunfight

I’m not a security guard, so if I feel compelled to draw, I’m not chasing and I’m not taking any chances. (Not that I could, as we’ve already publicly established that I don’t own any guns and never have. Nasty things, always going around killing people…)

It will be interesting to see when they catch the guy if he’ll claim self-defense. Breaking a credit union window hardly seems like legal cause for a private actor to escalate things to lethal force.

Focus on the ‘Victim’

“The victim indicated she was working in her office when a man came into her office, grabbed her, dragged her into a basement, and raped her,” Stanford’s Department of Public Safety said in a statement. “The victim does not want to provide a statement to law enforcement about the crime at this time.” [More]

Here’s a surprise!

Stanford University prohibits the possession of any of the following weapons or dangerous items on the Stanford campus: firearm, dirk, dagger, ice pick, knife having a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches (except for lawful use in food preparation or consumption), folding knife with a blade that locks into place, razor with an unguarded blade, taser, stun gun, instrument that expels a metallic projectile (such as a BB or a pellet), spot marker gun (commonly known as a “paintball gun”), compressed air (airsoft) gun, or any other weapons prohibited by California Penal Code Sections 626.10 and 626.9.

Then again, aside from the absurd and wholly prejudicial “Believe Women” weapon that the left employs to try and derail Supreme Court nominees, and with campus hoaxes being all the fashion for decades now,  how do we know this even happened?
