Let’s Hear It for ‘Vigilante Gun Violence’!

Witnesses told police a male suspect robbed the restaurant at gunpoint, firing shots at an employee. Police say the 21-year-old employee returned fire, striking the robber. [More]

For those who say violence is not the answer…

Sometimes it’s the only one.

Especially considering the problem that needs solving.

A 16-year-old was shot and critically injured during a home invasion, Mascotte police say. Police say the teen who was shot may have tried to break into at least two homes. [More]

That’ll help the grabbers with their “gun violence/children statistics, especially if he dies.

Another ‘Child Gun Death’

The gunshots killed 14-year-old Devin Baker, who was at the bedroom window of Wallace’s 8-year-old daughter early morning on Dec. 14. “It’s bothering me that he was a kid,” she said. [More]

So is her daughter. Sounds like the apartment managers were rooting for the creeper to get the girl.

As an aside, my spider-sense is telling me there’s more to this story.

Not Very Neighborly

“Over the course of their investigation, which included interviews with both Lindlers and witnesses, detectives determined the elder Lindler told his son to shoot the victim,” Lexington Sheriff Jay Koon said in a statement. “The shooting happened after the elder Lindler had taken a machete away from the victim, who was unarmed when he was shot and lived near the Lindlers on Seleta Circle.” [More]

So who talked to whom?

And if that’s the case, it’s no longer about property rights or self-defense and they deserve what they’re getting.

The New Intolerable Acts

Prosecutors Agree He Shot a Man in Self-Defense. They’re Still Trying To Put Him in Prison. LaShawn Craig may spend years behind bars—because the gun he used to justifiably shoot someone was unlicensed. [More]

You know who agrees with that?

Every goddam gun owner and “gun rights leader” who says “Enforce existing gun laws.”

Alabama Robber Shouted, ‘Happy Holidays, I Don’t Want to Hurt Y’all,’ Then Blasted Bear Spray — so Store Owner Shot Her- After being wounded in the shoulder, the robber screamed, ‘I don’t want to die. Please stop’ [More]

Funny, how it works that way…

Funny, how freedom prohibitionists want to give sadistic cowards the advantage.

The Other Women

NRA has done something good, so it won’t hurt us to recognize that. Spreading this video far and wide can help promote RKBA and challenge prohibitionist lies. That includes throwing it in the faces of gun-grabbing Democrats in reply to their idiotic social media posts.

It needs to be followed up with a strong “Now Stop Voting for Democrats!” message, because that needs to change not just anecdotally, but dramatically.

We’re the Only Ones Disinterested Enough

As for Lozano… he says he called 911 but was surprised the police never showed up. “I dialed 911, called the operator, explained to the operator what had just happened… she said ‘OK,’ put me on hold, they transferred me to the non-emergency number, which I was there for almost 45 minutes.” He even called his local LAPD station and left a message. “They have a recording, I left the recording on the machine, explained who I was, what the situation was, and I haven’t heard a call back from anybody. [From video here]

Dial 911 and what…?

He’d have heard back if he’d done this, especially if he’d hit one.

And look who’s being primed to wear the crown.

Secret Service Response to Biden Granddaughter Car Break-In Violates MPDC Use of Force Instructions

What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]

Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”

Revenge from Beyond the Grave

Snyder’s mother, Alicia Rogers, previously told The Gazette that Snyder had been delivering for DoorDash when the shooting started. She said her son had a concealed carry license and that she believes he was ambushed and then pulled out his own weapon in self-defense. [More]

Being armed doesn’t mean you’ll win every encounter, but at least he was able to tag his assailant and put him on LE’s radar.

Won’t Come Back from Dead Man’s Curve

Before confronting somebody, Sheriff Salazar said people must consider there could be some serious consequences, especially if that suspect is armed. [More]

Not “legal” advice, but that should be the assumption going in, along with establishing cover and a clear sight picture, including what’s beyond the target, before announcing your presence.

Considering the personal risks, the financial ramifications of shooting someone, and that cars are insured, I’d be inclined to go with setting off the alarm and calling the “Only Ones” from behind locked doors. While a part of me would want to resolve things the old-fashioned way, the legal system is stacked against going outside and using up to lethal force to protect mere property.
