Food for Thought

A restaurant diner legally in possession of a handgun watched the incident unfold, and intervened by drawing his weapon while giving Padron commands to stay on the ground and let go of the knife. [More]

All in Kathy Hochuls’ New York…

But wait a sec– we’ve been told gun owners are bloodthirsty white supremacists just waiting for someone to blast away and that those of us who haven’t killed anyone just aren’t murderers yet. So what’s this guy doing actually deterring violence?

Anybody know if Applebee’s has changed its policy? I haven’t had much incentive to go there and check for some time…

An Age-Old Question

At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]

Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?

UPDATE

And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

Abusing the Abuser?

Mother of fatally shot restaurant robber says customer who fired multiple rounds ‘abused’ her son: ‘Why didn’t you stop? … He was dead already … That hurts.’ [More]

Your Feel-Good Story of the Day

A carjacker was killed in the Loop on Thursday evening when the victim fought back, accelerated her car, and slammed into a beam that supports the L tracks, Chicago police said. [More]

I’d say Elijah didn’t tread well at all.

And not to pick on innocents who share that surname, but two of them now have gotten publicity for dying stupidly…

Constructive Mourning

On January 4, 2022, Parkland father Andrew Pollack’s 501c3 “Meadows Movement” will be donating eight backpacks, each containing an AR pistol, to Florida’s Bradford County Sheriff’s Office for use in Bradford County schools. [More]

As opposed to the types who process their grief by attacking everyone else’s rights…

I Would Write the Shortest Papers in the History of Science Journals

A Coyote Unexpectedly Killed a Human in 2009. Scientists Now Know Why [More]

Because it could?

And because the human was utterly unprepared to stop it?

Jeez, I didn’t even need a doctorate or a research grant to figure that one out.
