A Great DGU Victory?

Man with machete attempts to break into home; homeowner confronts him with gun [More]

I see some doing the “Good Guy with a Gun!” cheer.

I hate to be the voice of second guessing, but the defender had to first retrieve and unlock his gun and then let the clearly dangerous intruder go?

Pray and Spray

How invasion of enormous wild beasts has left shocked residents in idyllic Wyoming mountain towns fearing for their lives: ‘I do a lot of praying’ [More]

So the pepper seasoning didn’t stop the guy from getting gnawed up first?

There’s gotta be something else human beings with dominion over the earth could do about that.

But what?

FAFO

“He did not deserve to die this way. It’s such a tragedy that my husband was murdered in cold blood,” she said, though it remained unclear if she had seen the video of the shooting. [More]

Looks to me like that’s exactly what he deserved.

That Took a Lot of Chutzpah

Survey for North American Jews: How are you defending yourself from antisemitic attacks? [More]

I took the damn thing to see what the results would look like if I answered like one of the 70% and all it did at the end was present ways to share it on social media with no evaluation. So work for him, then help him publicize himself, and get nothing but used.

Way to reinforce a stereotype, schmuck.

More Than Meets the Eye?

A homeowner in Oakland was arrested after shooting and killing a robbery suspect. The 77-year-old homeowner was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remained behind bars on Tuesday while the district attorney considered whether to file charges. [More]

If he listens to his lawyer and keeps his mouth shut, he ought to be able to claim self-defense, but using a stolen gun doesn’t help and they may at least get him on that– assuming he’s not a “prohibited person” and “eligibile” for more, and that this wasn’t a dispute between associates…

Should You Use NFA Weapons for Self Defense? A Practical Perspective [More]

Use whatever you can get to in time, and don’t let distractions impede swift action. There’ll be no trumped up charges to face later if you don’t survive.

Proving a Negative

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott J:

Nearly every time the “news” tells you about a car wreck fatality, they tell you “they were not wearing a seat belt”.

Why don’t they tell you every time a person is attacked and killed, “they were not carrying a gun”?

That presumes it’s “news.”

Speaking of Catastrophic Either Way

1 dead after attempting to carjack Amazon delivery vehicle… “It’s catastrophic either way,” said Graff. “I am more concerned as a sponsor of reasonable gun control.” [More]

What could be more “reasonable” than controls “sponsored” by someone who admits he was oblivious as things were going down and would have been helpless if he’d been aware?

And it took two “real reporters” to write that story and they left out the main point?

And what happened to the driver?

Even if a delivery driver has a concealed carry permit, Amazon has a stringent policy restricting delivery drivers from carrying guns.

A Fighting Chance

My husband was killed in a ‘gun free zone.’ Arm teachers for safety and to save lives [More]

I’d say “train teachers.” And get out of the way of them arming themselves.

I did note one loudmouthed self-identified Marxist punk saying it would “turn schools into war zones.” If I could remember where, I’d link to it.

No surprise he prefers them to remain killing fields…

Beria Trap*

Someone does not need a license to carry, according to the law, “in his place of abode or fixed place of business.” Yakaitis owned the home Powanda attempted to burglarize. The catch: He didn’t live there—it reportedly had no tenants at the time of the crime—opening a window for law enforcement to charge him essentially on a technicality. [More]

It’s awful hard to make the swine harassing him live in infamy if we’re not told his name.
