The Wrong Question

You can debate federal policy all you want. But when your city faces a crime crisis, the question becomes simple: Will you accept help or grandstand while people suffer? [More]

That doesn’t change the fact that when seconds count, police — or agents — are minutes away.

Will you accept infringements on your right to protect yourself?

And don’t forget, both cities are run by Democrats/MAIG members, with the ones in Memphis doing their “best” to undermine TN permitless carry and preemption.

‘Stand Your Ground’ Recalls Nightmare Ordeal After Lawful Self-Defense

We know that something similar to what was forced on him, where we suddenly find ourselves having to defend ourselves against a previously unknown threat, could happen when we least expect it. And we know that police and prosecutors will often be personally and politically incentivized to treat us like criminals, and to interpret events to support their interests rather than ours. [More]

It could happen to you.

Gură Mare

While the man who was killed has not been identified, the homeowner is sending a message to the family now grieving their loved one. “I apologize. Taking a life was never my goal. I wasn’t trying to kill him. I was just trying to save myself,” he said. [More]

Way to give police and prosecutors plenty to chew on if they ever decide to look closer for disconnects and try for a criminal prosecution. Way to give the family plenty if they go for a civil settlement.

Does he think either are motivated by a goal of absolving him?

For a guy who just had successful DGU, he’s sure got poor survival skills.

Mission Possible?

A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws. [More]

Good morning, Ms. Dhillon. Your mission, should you choose to accept it…

Under Certain Conditions

Holiday crime fears grow as ‘jugging’ thieves target shoppers carrying cash and gifts: ‘Only a matter of time’ – Criminals follow victims from ATMs and banks to steal cash and purchases during busy shopping season [More]

Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

Two-Point Conversion

But that didn’t stop anti-gun D.C. police from slapping the cuffs on Avissar. Why? Because he had a completely legal trigger in his suitcase — and made the mistake of calling it a “conversion device” when questioned. [More]

  1. How is any gun owner deep enough into the weeds to own an FRT oblivious to the first rule of Gun Club?
  2. And when talking to Texas Gun Rights, why no mention of Silver Eagle? Did they tell him something they won’t tell me?

The Bear Truth

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission announced Friday night that a death near a campground in Newton County was the result of an animal mauling. A 60-year-old Missouri man was found dead yards from his campsite at Sam’s Throne after a possible bear attack in Ozark National Forest near the town of Mount Judea. [More]

Thing is, you can have a gun there, you just can’t be a d!ck with it.

Tell me the old boy wasn’t a “prohibited person.”

And I love the notice at the top of the USDA page:

And a Little Child Shall Lead Them?

The Lansing School District announced that the child will face “disciplinary action” for his bravery. Why? Because the district’s beloved “zero tolerance” policy doesn’t distinguish between a kid wielding a gun and a kid taking it away to save lives. [More]

It’s statement says reports are selective and there are other unreported circumstances privacy policy will not let them disclose, so out of deference to due process and judging facts I’ll suspend my bias against Democrat public school teachers and administrators, and withhold a verdict until more is known. Which is more than many of them would do for me.

To Each According to His Needs?

COURTROOM AUDIO LIVE: AR & Mag Ban Arguments Reveal How Nefarious These Blue States Actually Are… [Watch]

You don’t need full auto because the government has it? We’re limited to “self-defense”? And only indoors? Anybody see the word “useful” in the Second Amendment…?

Are “average” <3-round limits next?

Everybody’s picking up that it’s “common usage” arguments they’re arguing to impose limits, right?

It Worked. They Scared Him.

A 42-year-old Texas man is facing a murder charge in the shooting of an 11-year-old boy after the victim and his friends banged on the suspect’s door late Saturday night in what police described as a “ding-dong-ditch” prank that has been trending on TikTok and other social media platforms, authorities said. [More]

On the one hand, you can’t shoot a fleeing suspect in the back.

On the other hand, kicking and banging a door at night is an intentional act meant to terrify and significantly different from ringing the bell, and what the hell was an 11-year-old doing out at 10:55 pm?

Give ’em What They Want

And if what they want is you…?

At first I thought I’d posted on this already, but when I checked saw that was just a parroted talking point.

Judged by 12

Deadly triple shooting at apartment complex stemmed from robbery, Sacramento sheriff says… The sheriff’s office said all four men involved in the shooting had prior felony convictions and were prohibited from possessing guns. [More]

Being on probation with an ankle monitor was a nice touch.

And yeah, he absolutely had a right to defend himself. If they all had been in custodial care where they belong, guns would not have been part of the equation.

Why is it I get the feeling the goal isn’t really to reduce “gun violence”?
