The Bear Necessities

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?

‘Any’

“You, your occupants or guests, or the guests of any occupants, may not engage in the following activities … discharging a firearm in the apartment community… Any violation of this paragraph shall be a material breach of this Lease and will entitle us to exercise all rights and remedies under the lease and law.” [More]

Eddie said it best…

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

And in the Not All Landlords are Bad, category, remember this young fool?

He’s being evicted.

And That Takes Care of That

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.

They’re Not the ‘Only Ones’

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.

Here We Have Idaho…?

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…

We’re the Only Ones in Retrospect Enough

“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…

An Inconvenient Truth

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.
