Notes from the Resistance
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.

We used to feature Ed Monk’s stuff on our old GunTruths.com website.
“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.

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.
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.

The teenanger has been charged with murder and I’m not sure why. He was being attacked by a mob and he defended himself the only way he could, with a knife. Sure, that was illegal to have in school but it protected him from serious injury or maybe even death. After seeing the video, I agree with his mom. [More]
If that’s all the relevant information, then yeah.
What is it about Democrat-contolled environments that guarantees this kind of savagery?

It’s over guys. Turn in your guns. The self-defense expert has spoken. [More]
He’s responding to a pro-citizen disarmament self-defense instructor. Y0u know, a real man.
As someone who has had his feet in both camps (I was talking about myself here), we could always see if Gospodin Systema is up for a little challenge…
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]
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.

Wealthy LA father who pulled gun on masked intruders as they tried to break into his luxury home while his baby was inside reveals he has been STRIPPED of his firearm permit ‘because he yelled at cops when they arrived’ [More]
Does he think he’ll get a new one in the Bronx?

The Lance Thomas solution…
What kind of total @$$hole would demand good people be disarmed and advise “Give them what they want“?
What if what they want is you?

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.

“This is not normal. This isn’t worth it. I’d rather just go back to living in an apartment building in the Bronx. This would never happen there,” he said. [More]

I figure regulars here already do this and more.
As for “states and municipalities which have heavy restrictions on what you can and can’t carry, there are still many options open,” my option has always been to assess the chances of getting caught before conceding anything.
Two men attempting to rob a pizza shop in Philadelphia’s Frankford section Saturday night ended up exchanging gunfire with a store employee — and one of the would-be robbers was killed, according to police. [More]
Smug “just give them what they want” cowards never have an answer to “What if they want more than your dough?”
