Thick as Thieves
University of Chicago student grabs gun from armed robber … “I think it’s just finding the people who did this attack, because they will do it again.” [More]
And when they are found I wonder how long it will take to spread through genpop that the cowardly moron was essentially beat up by a girl…

Bringing a Snake to a Gunfight
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!

Good Guy with a Gun
That’s One Solution…
Pass a bill guaranteeing qualified immunity and let’s talk. Can we also do it to these domestic enemies? And these…?
Or, how about this as an alternative?
As a side note, look at all the indignant leftists screaming about rights. Funny, how subjective they are when it comes to freedom of political expression.
Speaking of Insurrection and Seditious Conspiracy
Palestine activists block Brooklyn Bridge, Golden Gate and roads to Chicago O’Hare airport in coordinated attempt to bring America to its knees [More]
Follow the money. Then apply RICO prosecutions. How is someone physically preventing me from going where I choose not a coercive attempt at hostage taking that justifies responding with a continuum of force until they stop?
The way I see it, if I block a stranger in public, he has every right to knock me on my @$$ and keep going– and we know it’s often not that simple. Why should what applies to the individual not apply to the collective?
And what about civil remedies? If held up by a mob, sue participants by name if known, or as John Does…? And name financial backers in class action lawsuits.

Vigilante Commits Gun Violence
Hero Sandwich
Dramatic moment Good Samaritan tackles customer who ‘battered and spat at Indiana Subway worker over a sandwich’ – as hero is rewarded with free food for life [More]
And she didn’t even have to hand him a card.
Now watch the perp get a personal injury attorney, claim racism, and go after deep Subway pockets for rewarding vigilantism.

Ludicrous BART Campaign Increases Dangers to Passengers with Cards Against Attackers
Amidst this backdrop, we’re supposed to believe passing cards to third parties won’t do more than aggravate an already insane situation? [More]
Being terrorized on the train by a cleaver-wielding maniac released by the system? No problem, just hand a “You Got Me?” card to a total stranger! And remember to keep voting Democrat to “feel” safe!
Can’t Have THAT…
Not the Only One?
“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.

No One NEEDS an ‘Assault Weapon’!
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!

Toronto Police Advise Citizens Preemptively Surrender to Thieves to Avoid Being Hurt or Killed
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?
Coyote Attack Advice Silent on Personal Defense
“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.
Warning Shot
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.

A Private Gun Transfer
Four victims turn gun on suspect in Bourbon Street armed robbery [More]
In fairness, they probably hadn’t heard that they could have their own yet…
Then again, they were on Bourbon Street…
Lemme guess: They surrendered it to the “Only Ones.”

What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been
A violent altercation overnight at a south St. Louis QuikTrip ends with a security guard shooting and killing a suspect after police say the suspect shot the guard. [More]
It feels like there’s more to this story, and the question of a retention holder seems like one corporate risk management should want to look into. I’m sure homicide is looking over the security footage to see how it all went down.

He Went Down Fighting
Man killed trying to defend home during alleged invasion: North Carolina authorities [More]
It sounds like they all could have died, plus he took down one of the invaders who will give up the other two.
No one claims gun defenses totally succeed all the time. They do, however, allow for a choice and a chance, which the alternative does not.

Downhill Racer
“Mental health is already downhill,” said student Loran Jackson. “Why would you even try to put a gun in their hands when they’re mentally not thinking all right?” [More]
The only one in this story mentally not thinking all right appears to be you, Loran.
And the “goal would not be to take another human life,” Virginia, and if you decide to carry, take that language out of your vocabulary lest it come back to haunt you. The goal is to stop an attack, to live.

Real Man 2.0
Maybe try to hit the gym or take a boxing class to gain some confidence so that a gun isn’t the only thing making you feel like a man. [More]
Some people just won’t learn until it’s too late.
As long as it’s too late for them and no one else, I’m OK with that.
Vigilante Resorts to Gun Violence
75-year-old Vermont homeowner opens fire with muzzleloader after he says 3 armed men tried breaking in [More]
In other words, he used a “weapon of war.”
That bit about looking for his 40-year-old son makes me think there’s more to this to come.

Savage Claims Self-Defense and LE Cover-Up in Dismissed Shooting Case
This piece came out while I was away. [Read]
Len Savage was arrested after defending himself, and while the charges against him were dropped, he’s demanding an investigation into LE motives for why his attacker isn’t being prosecuted.
Two Can Play That Game
One of the activists speaking at the rally on Saturday was captured on video threatening to harass staffers at their homes and churches. [More]
Which one?
What does he eat for breakfast?

One witness told the station the disabled man was getting “chunks” ripped from him while neighbors also threw items at the dogs in an attempt to stop them. [More]

The Grabbers Wanted More Than Hope and Prayers
The mother prayed and her children recited scripture even as they heard Goss kicking in the doors inside their home. He eventually found them hiding in the closet that was designated as the family’s safe room. The mother shot him as he entered the closet still holding the knife. Goss then fled the scene. [More]
Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence would rather they had been butchered than armed.

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Starbucks fires heroic barista who subdued and protected a co-worker from robbers after getting pistol-whipped in the head. [More]
Ask me when’s the last time I’ve been to a Starbucks…
And what are the priorities of Americans who regularly shell out this kind of money for a cup, plus tip…?

Take the 12 Gauge Slug to the Face Challenge
“I’m afraid a homeowner may think someone is trying to burglarize their residence and some innocent kid can get shot or killed.” [More]
If he’s banging on a door at 1 a.m. he’s hardly “innocent.”
You could give somebody a heart attack doing that.
And we all know what the gun safety expert in chief advised.
So I Might Want to Rethink That Craigslist Hookup…?
The robbery victim who fired a shot was a legal gun owner in another state and had a license to carry the weapon from one state to another. He was released without any charges. [More]
What was his first clue?
Good rule of thumb: Highly trafficked public area or “No thanks.”
