And then she’ll turn around and vote for Democrats who won’t let her use her gun.

Notes from the Resistance
1 dead after attempting to carjack Amazon delivery vehicle… “It’s catastrophic either way,” said Graff. “I am more concerned as a sponsor of reasonable gun control.” [More]
What could be more “reasonable” than controls “sponsored” by someone who admits he was oblivious as things were going down and would have been helpless if he’d been aware?
And it took two “real reporters” to write that story and they left out the main point?
And what happened to the driver?
Even if a delivery driver has a concealed carry permit, Amazon has a stringent policy restricting delivery drivers from carrying guns.
Under its new policy, the LA County Sheriff’s Department says people like Turner must apply through their local police chiefs and receive a letter denying them before asking for permission from the sheriff’s department. [More]
Who then comes up with excuses why he can’t do it.
After a death threat and on the advice of an investigating cop who told me they could not do anything unless it was acted on, I carried illegally in California from @ 1981 to 2007 (when I moved back to Ohio), because I literally could not get a permit to save my life (which I did on one occasion simply by presenting).
Start @ 3:27 for my recollection.
The criminals who deserve to be imprisoned and have their lives destroyed are the goddam bastards who forced me to risk my family, freedom, and career.

My husband was killed in a ‘gun free zone.’ Arm teachers for safety and to save lives [More]
I’d say “train teachers.” And get out of the way of them arming themselves.
I did note one loudmouthed self-identified Marxist punk saying it would “turn schools into war zones.” If I could remember where, I’d link to it.
No surprise he prefers them to remain killing fields…

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]
It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.

Indiana Prosecutor Laments That Self-Defense Laws Exist, Protect Defensive Gun Users [More]
A quote from L. Neil Smith comes to mind.

This time, however, the store employee responded by drawing a firearm in self-defense, leading to a standoff that ended with Cook’s arrest as police arrived minutes later. [More]
On drugs? IQ 0f 60? Both?
As for the tolerant clerk, he’s further proof that moral people use the amount of deterrence necessary to stop aggression. Working nights because that’s what’s needed and having to deal with aggressive parasites, he showed admirable consistency of principles regardless.
No wonder lying communists call such people Concealed Carry Killers!

“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.

Notable things going on in this video from Arlington Texas:
-robbers have weapon lights
-robbers have standard capacity drum mags
-robbers flee when faced with superior firepower [More]
Hey, if you need more than three shots against armed robbers you have no business defending yourself!

Chiefs’ Harrison Butker calls Super Bowl parade shooting ‘degenerative violence,’ calls on men to step up [More]
Explaining how would be nice.
And why we should…

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.

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?

“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.
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.
