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.

* Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.

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?

Hatchet Job

On the afternoon of Saturday, July 8, 34-year-old Charles Byers had attempted to break into homes in Wycliff Court after being released from the hospital during a mental health crisis. [More]

That’s where the blame lies.

Not the Only One?

“I said [at the press conference] if you shoot accurately, and you kill the guy, you save taxpayers money. And I also said that if somebody gets killed during a home invasion, the odds of them re-offending are zero. And we like those odds, which we do,” he told Fox News Digital. [More]

Still, even if you live in Santa Rosa County, the sheriff’s public sentiments notwithstanding, remember one thing when his deputies respond.

Deacons for Def… uh… Democrats

A new controversial armed citizen patrol has launched in Hartford. Organizers say the people will be legally carrying as they walk around parts of the city where violence has taken a toll… They were part of Minister Cornell Lewis’ Self-Defense Brigade. [More]

So… how do they vote?

That white broad must be a real piece of work.

Toronto Police Advise Citizens Preemptively Surrender to Thieves to Avoid Being Hurt or Killed

So, take the doorstop and let the criminals (freelance and official) rule the night because, as Constable Marco reminds us, “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.” [More]

Just give them what they want? What if what they want is you?

Coyote Attack Advice Silent on Personal Defense

“When seconds count, police are minutes away” takes over, and the only rational and effective “Action Plan” is “Stop the Threat.” [More]

If you’re going to listen to bureaucrats on keeping safe from animal attacks, you might as well just put on a crash helmet and roller skates, and strap an Acme Rocket to your back.

Warning Shot

A Clark County man was entitled to argue self-defense when he intentionally shot toward a person, and was not required to show he intended to kill or harm the man who threatened him, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today. [More]

While I don’t recommend warning shots, there’s no one-size-fits-all, it worked, and no one was hurt or killed. If history, text, and tradition are the new standards, there’s gotta be a place for “shot across the bow.”

Inducing someone you don’t know to “back off” seems a perfectly legitimate reason for self defense, especially considering what could have happened.

It’s interesting that the three judges against the self-defense claim were Republicans, with three Democrats and one Republican ruling in the citizen’s favor.

What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been

A violent altercation overnight at a south St. Louis QuikTrip ends with a security guard shooting and killing a suspect after police say the suspect shot the guard. [More]

It feels like there’s more to this story, and the question of a retention holder seems like one corporate risk management should want to look into. I’m sure homicide is looking over the security footage to see how it all went down.

Downhill Racer

“Mental health is already downhill,” said student Loran Jackson. “Why would you even try to put a gun in their hands when they’re mentally not thinking all right?” [More]

The only one in this story mentally not thinking all right appears to be you, Loran.

And the “goal would not be to take another human life,” Virginia, and if you decide to carry, take that language out of your vocabulary lest it come back to haunt you. The goal is to stop an attack, to live.

At Least He Admits It

Get rid of the guns. In Kansas, Missouri, everywhere. Amend the Constitution and protect our kids. [More]

But no one’s talking about… uh…

Just here for the ratio

Still, I wonder what Clay Wirestone would be able to do to protect his husband and son if needed. I’d never forgive myself if my loved ones were in danger and all I could do was watch.
