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.

He Just Wavered

Before deputies could arrive, the offender kicked in the homeowner’s door and entered the residence unlawfully, where he was met with gunfire from the homeowner. [More]

I’ll not intrude on his survivors with a link to the funeral home, but his obituary says he “never wavered with his relationship with God.”

The Grabbers Wanted More Than Hope and Prayers

The mother prayed and her children recited scripture even as they heard Goss kicking in the doors inside their home. He eventually found them hiding in the closet that was designated as the family’s safe room. The mother shot him as he entered the closet still holding the knife. Goss then fled the scene. [More]

Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence would rather they had been butchered than armed.

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

My wife and I play these scenarios over in our head all the time. We’ve practiced going out through the back seat to get our kids out of our car if we are carjacked. [More]

And if the people who don’t obey the citizen disarmament edicts you demand decide not to let you…?

What kind of non-man admits to the world he leaves the safety of his wife and children, to the mercies of predators?

And what about Fang Fang?

Take the 12 Gauge Slug to the Face Challenge

“I’m afraid a homeowner may think someone is trying to burglarize their residence and some innocent kid can get shot or killed.” [More]

If he’s banging on a door at 1 a.m. he’s hardly “innocent.”

You could give somebody a heart attack doing that.

And we all know what the gun safety expert in chief advised.

More Guns, Less Crime

Data posted at the Gun Violence Archive website shows 2023 produced fewer homicides, suicides, and gun-related injuries than in 2022, which indicates expansion of permitless carry laws, allowing more people to carry firearms for personal protection, did not result in more bloodshed as anti-gunners predicted. [More]

Someone ought to write a book with that title…
