We’re the Only Ones Cheesy Enough

“I would highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes into your home while you’re there to steal stuff, that you take your gun and you shoot him. You shoot him so that he looks like grated cheese,” Judd added. [More]

It sounds cute, and I’m seeing no shortage of this sentiment (NSFW), but I have to ask: What instructions has he given his deputies if that’s what they find when they show up?

I ask because with DGU trainers advising “Shoot to stop” and ambitious prosecutors ready to bring anything that looks like deliberate overkill in front of a grand jury to make an example, I’m thinking this is about as advisable as Joe Biden telling us to shoot off the balcony and through the door.

Only the “Only Ones” get to “empty the clip,” and that’s mostly so that one or two rounds might hit the intended target.

When Seconds Count

Ross says he held the suspect, 29-year-old Roy Ward, at gunpoint about half an hour until West Virginia State Police arrived and arrested him. [More]

What have we learned?

That said, with this happening outside the home, problematic legal issues arise.  Fortunately, normal American gun owners aren’t the bloodthirsty vigilantes the lying gun-grabbers smear us as.

1-Punch Homicide Highlights Why You Need a Gun Against ‘Unarmed’ Assailants

And even for men who pride themselves on their ability to handle themselves, fights aren’t like in the movies. You could get killed, crippled, maimed, or otherwise seriously injured. [More]

So is “Real Man” here bragging about his “toxic masculinity” and offering to duke it out with any and all attackers? Leave it to the side that gets triggered over pronouns to declare themselves the arbiters of what a real man is.

Hell of a thing to have to charge weaponless against. You wonder what the father would have done had the cat fought back.  When I lived there and went into the wilderness with my sons, I never had nothing.

Self-Reporting

Texas couple shocked to receive small armory of M16s… The couple reported the find to the authorities. [More]

It’s easy to ask “Why?” Me, I’d be wondering if this was a setup and what I could possibly do with them that wouldn’t invite one.

It’s like, imagine you found a suitcase with a million dollars worth of cocaine inside — Aside from the fact that I’d find selling it immoral, I not only don’t know anybody who has a connection into that world, I don’t want the people who do have one even knowing about me.

That’s the “problem” with us “law-abiding”  and peaceable types. We don’t know firsthand how the dark side works. And despite smears to the contrary, we are heavily conditioned against hurting others, which is why so many DGUs end without a shot fired.  It takes a lot to get us going, to the point where by the time we do react with appropriate force, it may already be game over.

Those who aren’t similarly self-restrained know and count on that. And that’s why training, repetition, and anticipation are so important.

Convenience Store Clerk’s Execution Shows Danger of ‘Giving Robbers What They Want’

They’re forbidden to have the means of defense. Instead, those who demand they stay this way offer useless advice guaranteed to leave them at the mercy of those who have none: “Give them what they want.” [More]

The question must be asked: “What if what they want is your life?”

Gun-Toting Grandson Unloads on Shooters When Grandma’s Birthday Party Erupts in Gunshots [More]

If my admitted presumption about the defender and his family is correct, that means the gun-grabbers would rather see innocent minorities killed than armed.

We know they would regardless, but that would kind of put an exclamation point on it.

‘A’ for Effort, ‘C’ for Execution

“Suspects forcibly entered a business with weapons & exchange of gunfire occurred as the store owner defended himself. The suspects fled in 2 vehicles n/b onto the 405,” the Huntington Beach Police Department tweeted. “The store owner was not injured, & a customer suffered minor lacerations from broken glass. HBPD Detectives are on scene as the investigation into this incident continues.” [More]

Sounds like he should take some lessons from Lance Thomas…

Let’s hope the customer isn’t a d**k.

A Happy Outcome

17-year-old shoots and kills two masked men breaking into his home [More]

Everyone who demands guns be kept locked up and separate from ammunition, and forbidden to anyone under 21, would rather the attackers had killed everyone inside, especially since that would have given them more fuel to pour on the “gun violence” fire to demand new bans.

Reports implying the home invasion was targeted don’t change the fact that even if it turns out in grand jury findings that the teenager had previous dealings with the perps, what he did in this instance was justified.

I Wonder How [Insert Grabber Name Here] Would Have Fared

He was able to pull out his firearm and shoot the suspect four times in the chest… Mendez is now speaking out about the importance of the Second Amendment and how law-abiding, armed Americans can help end shootings before they claim more lives.  [More]

I’d argue with limiting positive outcomes exclusively to the “law-abiding,” but otherwise, yeah.
