Notes from the Resistance
An unidentified man died at the scene after allegedly trying to rob an off-duty officer’s property in Weatherford, Texas, and being shot dead by that officer. [More]
Sounds like a happy ending.
I didn’t give this an “Only Ones” title because I’m presuming in Texas an ordinary armed citizen could do the same.
The again, I’m assuming the level of investigation into what happened would be the same.

NYC councilmember urges residents to take up arms after robbers tied up Queens family in shocking home invasion: ‘Constitutional right’ [More]
Shows ya what I know. I didn’t think NYC had “Republican” council members.
Anyway, what are these “gun permits” she says she’s going to help her constituents obtain, and what do they have to do with the Second Amendment?
They all know there’s a difference between purchase and carry permits, don’t they?

Let’s hope it’s not one of those chains/franchises that will fire the clerk.

Residents are asking for more police patrols after their condominium building was sprayed with gunfire during a deadly shooting in downtown Seattle on Wednesday night. [More]
“Sprayed”? That’s some “Authorized Journalism” right there!
And the residents, saved by an armed citizen (albeit a retired “Only One”) haven’t learned a thing and will continue to vote in gun-grabbers.

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.
