Ask if they’ll sign one of these:

I thought at first it might be an Ohio law thing about places that serve alcohol, but Giffords, of all groups, gives us an “out”:

Ohio also generally prohibits possession of firearms in establishments licensed to sell liquor in rooms or open air arenas where alcohol is being served on premises, although this restriction generally does not apply to people who are licensed to carry handguns or otherwise eligible for permitless carry, if they are not consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and if the establishment does not restrict firearm carrying.

I see some comments suggest carrying anyway and they’ll never know. I won’t for two reasons that have nothing to do with their property rights: First, anyone telling me up front they don’t trust me and would rather see me dead than armed won’t get a dime from me, and second, advertising up front that they’re a gun-free zone attracts dangerous scumbags I’d rather not expose myself and my family to.

The Satisfaction That Comes from Being ‘Law-Abiding’

Maryland dad beaten to death after protecting his kid in middle school fight [More]

He was “confronted by three teens and two adults” …?

Good thing “assault weapons” are considered unsuitable for self-defense in Maryland! Otherwise, the whole thing might have ended with nobody getting hurt, or at least the right ones…

Spicing Things Up

We could even encourage worried homeowners to buy bear spray for protection. I backpack, and it’s well known that bear spray is more effective against a charging grizzly than a handgun. Probably also more effective against a home invader. Think of it as harm reduction. [More]

That ought to go real well indoors.

As for outdoors, I’m thinking the Tueller drill shows a human can traverse 21 feet in a second-and-a-half and I’m guessing how long an 800 Lb. bear at 35mph would take and how close it actually has to get to be assured of a face-full, and wondering if that would be enough, and then remembering how some have been seen rolling around in pepper spray, and noting rangers carry guns, and then what he’d do against an armed home assailant, and… what the hell. It’s not like this chronic idiot is worth debating.

A ‘Progressive’ Backfiring

This is what is happening to our family—once vigorously anti-firearm and now reluctantly in possession of one. [More]

Good– Democrat-enabled crime is waking people up to the reality that they’re on their own. But unless he’s physically incapacitated, you gotta wonder what kind of man relies on his wife to defend him.

An Equal and Opposite Reaction

Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Saturday he filed a counter lawsuit against Gaige Grosskreutz for assault and emotional distress, stemming from their interaction when Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. [More]

He made the leftist punk his B!tch once. No reason he shouldn’t be able to do it again…

Well, This Would Have Been a Stupid Way to Die

Footage next shows the homeowner and suspect grappling before two more thugs arrive. They eventually pin the homeowner to the ground and start pounding on him. [More]

Sorry, “heroic” is not the first word that comes to mind. Then again, me ‘n “Real Man” never did see eye-to-eye on that.

Compare to the same number of predators when a victim is armed.

Good Guy with a Gun

According to Asst. Chief Ernest Garcia, four suspects in masks entered the store and started robbing customers at gunpoint. That’s when an armed customer pulled out their weapon and shot at the suspects, Garcia said. Three of the robbery suspects were shot. [More]

This makes it seem like he has a good presence of mind. Let’s hope that extends to what he told police before seeing an attorney. And let’s hope the attorney advises the intent was not to stop a robbery, it was because the gun owner was acting in self-defense.
