We’re the Only Ones Uncommandeered Enough

Sonia Sotomayor saved from danger: Supreme Court Justice’s bodyguard shoots gun-wielding suspect who tried to steal his car outside her DC home [More]

Not that she wants you to be able to do that:

“In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense.” — Sotomayor, with the dissent in McDonald

FAFO

‘I don’t understand why he was shot because there were two men and just him. Why not hold him at gunpoint? Or why not beat him up?’ [More]

Those are all concerns someone with more than a split second to make an unplanned decision where adrenalin is surging might consider afterward.

There’s a better choice that could have been made in the first place.

Uber Driving Customers Wild

Seattle Uber driver charged with rape and kidnapping after attack on female passenger… Investigators said family members assaulted Ali and took the woman out of the car. At some point during the confrontation, the victim’s father fired a gun twice, but the bullets did not strike anyone, according to the report. [More]

Damn policy violater…

So… tell us more about Ali…

More Than Meets the Eye?

A homeowner in Oakland was arrested after shooting and killing a robbery suspect. The 77-year-old homeowner was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remained behind bars on Tuesday while the district attorney considered whether to file charges. [More]

If he listens to his lawyer and keeps his mouth shut, he ought to be able to claim self-defense, but using a stolen gun doesn’t help and they may at least get him on that– assuming he’s not a “prohibited person” and “eligibile” for more, and that this wasn’t a dispute between associates…

Should You Use NFA Weapons for Self Defense? A Practical Perspective [More]

Use whatever you can get to in time, and don’t let distractions impede swift action. There’ll be no trumped up charges to face later if you don’t survive.

Chech and Balances

UPDATE: The Story of a Chechen Shot by a Special Ops Colonel Is Getting Weirder [More]

Sorry, I’m still not convinced it was a good shoot as opposed to “Only Ones” favoritism. Would I have had justification to use lethal force here, or would I be facing charges? Just not enough is known to pick up this banner and start waving it.

As for how the dead man’s family would know stuff that hasn’t been reported yet, I assume they have a lawyer and access to autopsy results and police communications not made public.

Chech Your Premises

The Colonel confronted Daraev, an altercation ensued, and Daraev was shot multiple times. [More]

Good thing it was outside Fort Br… uh…Liberty.

Now describe the what an “altercation” justifying lethal force looks like, because the accounts I’ve seen have been light on the details.

Proving a Negative

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott J:

Nearly every time the “news” tells you about a car wreck fatality, they tell you “they were not wearing a seat belt”.

Why don’t they tell you every time a person is attacked and killed, “they were not carrying a gun”?

That presumes it’s “news.”

Think of It as an Audition

“I’ve played law enforcement for 30 years. It’s just so different.” [More]

So assuming celebrities possess the wisdom, authority and virtues of the characters they play, and forming political opinions accordingly, is a mistake?

As for the dog-shooting incident, that clear violation of Instacart policy may open the door to another, more lucrative career.

Speaking of Catastrophic Either Way

1 dead after attempting to carjack Amazon delivery vehicle… “It’s catastrophic either way,” said Graff. “I am more concerned as a sponsor of reasonable gun control.” [More]

What could be more “reasonable” than controls “sponsored” by someone who admits he was oblivious as things were going down and would have been helpless if he’d been aware?

And it took two “real reporters” to write that story and they left out the main point?

And what happened to the driver?

Even if a delivery driver has a concealed carry permit, Amazon has a stringent policy restricting delivery drivers from carrying guns.

Catch-22

Under its new policy, the LA County Sheriff’s Department says people like Turner must apply through their local police chiefs and receive a letter denying them before asking for permission from the sheriff’s department. [More]

Who then comes up with excuses why he can’t do it.

After a death threat and on the advice of an investigating cop who told me they could not do anything unless it was acted on, I carried illegally in California from @ 1981 to 2007 (when I moved back to Ohio), because I literally could not get a permit to save my life (which I did on one occasion simply by presenting).

Start @ 3:27 for my recollection.

The criminals who deserve to be imprisoned and have their lives destroyed are the goddam bastards who forced me to risk my family, freedom, and career.

A Fighting Chance

My husband was killed in a ‘gun free zone.’ Arm teachers for safety and to save lives [More]

I’d say “train teachers.” And get out of the way of them arming themselves.

I did note one loudmouthed self-identified Marxist punk saying it would “turn schools into war zones.” If I could remember where, I’d link to it.

No surprise he prefers them to remain killing fields…

Beria Trap*

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]

It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.

Bringing a Snake to a Gunfight

This time, however, the store employee responded by drawing a firearm in self-defense, leading to a standoff that ended with Cook’s arrest as police arrived minutes later. [More]

On drugs? IQ 0f 60? Both?

As for the tolerant clerk, he’s further proof that moral people use the amount of deterrence necessary to stop aggression. Working nights because that’s what’s needed and having to deal with aggressive parasites, he showed admirable consistency of principles regardless.

No wonder lying communists call such people Concealed Carry Killers!

Stopping the Violence

No one was shot, although every one of those animals deserved ito be — and what it took was an armed citizen. Hey, can they bust him for having a gun?

Why do Democrats force good, productive people to live like this?

And why do good, productive people vote Democrat?
