Violence Never Solves Anything?

But some experts say there are simply too many lions in some places, many of which have lost their fear of humans, and treeing and freeing doesn’t go far enough. “They need hunting,” said John Chandler, the professional El Dorado County trapper who caught the lion that attacked Brooks’ nephews. “It solves everything.” [More]

Human victims made possible by citizen disarming Democrats and other humanity traitors like those at the Center for Biological Diversity who prioritize wild animals of all species above human lives.

What Do You Need an ‘Assault Weapon’ For?

Chilling surveillance footage showed one of the club’s security guards – who appeared to be wearing body armor – calmly raising his weapon as he steps in front of cowering clubgoers diving to the ground below. [More]

“Commonsense gun safety advocates” would rather he and the sheep he protected had been slaughtered.

Babe in Arms

Mother With Baby on Hip Gets in Shootout With Alleged Intruders [More]

Reasons why Moms Demand Action bleaters would rather she had been unarmed and killed:

  • A successful DGU contradicts everything they stand for.
  • They want people to believe a gun in the home endangers all women.
  • If the invaders had killed her with guns, the Moms have been able to point to another “victim of gun violence” — maybe two, if they were “lucky.”

Oh well, maybe someone can salvage something out of this and make a case for child endangerment…

A Good Shoot?

The man accused of murder in the shooting death of a gay man at a Tampa dog park last year was acquitted on Thursday. After deliberating for about 2½ hours, a six-person jury found that Gerald Declan Radford did not commit second-degree murder when he shot John Walter Lay at the West Dog Park last year. [More]

It turns out he’d rejected a plea deal.

The whole thing seems to have been so avoidable. Stupid prideful teenagers escalating with words and duking it out I can understand having been one myself once, but grown and supposedly mature men…? Applying the same standard of conduct I do to myself, you walk away when you can, especially when armed.

I’m glad I don’t have this on my conscience.

Putting the Wild in Wildfires

Animals fleeing the California fires are seeking refuge in residential areas, having been displaced from their natural habitats in the mountains and hills. [More]

Then thank goodness for Giffords “trailblazers”!

Those aren’t the only predators.

Seems as plausible an explanation as any…

Moment in the Spotlight

Should you intervene in a mass attack? Is defending a third person legally different from defending yourself? Do you have a duty to retreat in these situations? And what practical considerations should you weigh, like your physical safety and the chaos of multiple 911 calls? Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Richard Hayes discuss whether you should stop a mass attack, the legal and practical risks of defending others, and how to protect yourself responsibly in high-threat situations. [More]

Having time to think about it, my inner Rick Blaine wins. Responsible people make their own preparations and irresponsible ones disparage armed citizens.

Without having time to reflect, I suppose the unique situation itself would steer my decision and repercussions would be the last thing on my mind. I know from past experience where I felt the end was near my instincts have been to focus and act, not freeze, and do my shaking afterward.

This is CNN

CNN Tries and Fails – Again – to Make Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law Controversial [More]

So a 42-year-old with a violent criminal history threatens an armed 79-year-old with a chainsaw, who responds appropriately, and that’s reason to disparage”Stand Y0ur Ground”?

The only thing controversial is why anyone still watches CNN.

Tangentially-related UPDATE

Or that more people don’t sue…

Home Defense-Free Zone

Homeowners in Irving initially came up with the idea of shooting and killing the pigs, but then realized they should not be firing a gun at the animals in a suburban neighborhood. “My first thought was, like, well, I can go shoot them,” Mendez said. “But I’m like, yeah, I’m in a neighborhood. I can’t just go out there and start blasting.” [More]

No, not just “blasting,” but then again, what qualified hunter would characterize it that way? Would he say the same thing if it was a feral human threatening him, and settle for “slingshots and clapping two pieces of wood”?

As long as Cooper’s rules are adhered to, what’s the problem? Who died and made this guy the arbiter of appropriate responses to be selected for national amplification?
