Notes from the Resistance
Uniontown police say an Uber driver shot his passenger Friday when an altercation broke out during the rideshare. [More]
It doesn’tmatter that “no charges have been filed against the shooter at this time,” meaning he may have been righteously defending his life.

Don’t these idiot kids have some Tide Pods to eat?
But yeah, you’ve gotta wait until they break in and enter. Which makes Joe Biden’s advice all the more crinminally negligent.

As the men walked past him, the witness said one of them tried to grab his firearm – a 9mm pistol that was in the witness’ pants pocket. [More]
So he wasn’t just glad to see them…?
What a clown show, all the way around.

A man from Bethlehem said he was caught in a tough situation that involved self defense and breaking the law…he fired a few warning shots before the bear finally took off into the woods. He said it wasn’t until the next day that he realized that he had unintentionally shot the bear. [More]
I’d feel better about this if he’d just admitted that yeah, he shot the damn bear. What the hell else was he supposed to do?

The hijacker was shot in the chest, Williams said. There were injuries among passengers, and one passenger who shot at the hijacker was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, according to Williams… Williams described that passenger as a “hero.” [More]
I think the question here is how will the police describe him?

KC homeowner shoots male suspected of breaking into 30 cars Wednesday…The shooter was released after questioning. It’s unclear at this point if he could face any charges. [More]
I’d say if they call him back in it ought to be for a public ceremony where they give him a medal, but the cynic in me wonders if — based on who was shot — all defenders and reactions of neighbors would be treated the same.

Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]
My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

Idaho Gun Owner Found Not Guilty in Self-Defense Case – An Idaho gun owner from Kuna was found not guilty by a jury of his peers recently in a case that some are questioning why the gun owner was charged in the first place. [More]
Meet the prosecutor. Evidently, she takes her oath as seriously as she takes a dog’s.
She was endorsed by a self-described “staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment.”
Think he might reconsider…? We could ask…

“If you had just told me that that night, I never would have arrested you.” [Watch]
So he says. But cops are allowed to lie. But say the lead investigator was a “good” one- you have no way of knowing that or if he’s a typical “Only One” trying to find something to hang you with. A couple days in jail is nothing compared to what you could get railroaded into. And don’t even try and pull “a few bad apples” around here.
The best advice is still “Don’t talk to the police.” But do tell your attorney EVERYTHING.
Sounds like this kid had a crappy one, because if the DGU really was that cut and dried, a competent lawyer would have gotten his client absolved without gambling with risks…

Evil is only defeated by fighting back. [More]
“Just give them what they want” is an admission that the person saying it is a coward who has no answers and you’re on your own.

CPRC Study: Concealed Carriers Stop More Active Shooter Cases Than Police [More]
You can review the data and the methodology for yourself.
Gun-grabbers would rather the citizens who stopped aggressors had been unarmed and that the attackers had succeeded so they could dance in the blood and demand more.

Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor & Richard Hayes discuss the major changes in self-defense law and how new legislation could shield gun owners from civil lawsuits after a justified use of force. If these laws pass, could it mean an end to financially devastating lawsuits for self-defenders? [More]
