Notes from the Resistance
A food vendor with a Concealed-Carry License shot and killed a man who pulled a gun on him Friday night, Chicago police said. [More]
Snuffy, of course, would rather the vendor be killed than armed.
He’s lucky Garry McCarthy is no longer the supe…

Neighbors defend St. Louis firefighter charged for firing weapon [More]
Too bad he told on himself.
The neighbors know the “authorities” won’t protect them and this is ripe for being capitalized on.

Urban Defense EDC: The Drop Wallet [More]
Sorry, but my longstanding response to those who say “Just give them what they want” is to ask “What if what they want is me?”
They’re not threatening violence against the wallet, and anyone stupid, immoral and deranged enough to rob someone can’t be trusted to react rationally and be satisfied with what they surrender.

The final night of a five-week citizens academy produced by the DEA St. Louis Division included a simulated “shoot – don’t shoot” scenario. “It takes literally a quarter of a second to get shot,” said Laura Bethany Strong, a St. Louis area resident after completing the simulation. [More]
And Laura doesn’t have a problem with someone who would do that being the only one with a choice?

There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes. Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense. Civilians are 85% more likely to use a firearm for defense than to be murdered by one. [More]
[Insert name of gungrabber here] would rather you be murdered than armed. Preferably by someone with a gun, to bolster their numbers.
Given these criteria, is there any purpose in prosecuting Penny? [More]
Yes, giving the bloodthirsty mob what it demands.
But there’s a better question.
The answer: Race-baiting Democrats.

No worries. National Grid’s “US Leadership” is proud (“Camp Beyond Binary”? Really?)

Florida’s “stand your ground” provisions won’t give them a pass from prosecution if there’s a question of legality, or if a Democrat DA decides there’s ginned up anger they can exploit. [More]
But when it’s all said and done, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by six” applies.
Off-duty Atlanta police officer shot, killed while breaking into Douglas County home, deputies say [More]
So, he had mental health/narcotics issues and no one noticed, and they still unleashed him on the public?
On the plus side, they can now distance themselves by calling him a “former officer.”

“He knocked on the door, yelled, and announced himself, ‘Hey, I’m looking for somebody to help me remove this stuff. I’m willing to pay!’” Treadway said. [More]
And shooting him “five to six times” was covered by castle doctrine?
Bull$h!+.
There’s more to this story not being told here, and it’s being used to disparage home defense.
Starting with court records can’t say exactly how many times the autopsied corpse was shot…?

THREE MENTAL KEYS TO WINNING A CONFRONTATION [More]
I saw “Ken Good” and remembered the name:
His curriculum vitae reads like a character’s from a Tom Clancy novel. Putting it bluntly, he can shoot, fight, free-fall parachute in, scuba dive out, blow things up, and otherwise deploy in jungle, mountain, marine, and urban environments. Yet, with candor typical of true professionals, he admits up front that “our staff does not know it all, nor have we ‘arrived’. We are in a constant state of learning and consider ourselves perpetual students.”
Caleb Gannon gets a unique new hiccup treatment. [More]
And is called a martyr.
Is “Muslim Justice League” anything like the original?

In a shocking real-world case, we see that facing multiple attackers can be one of the most challenging and dangerous situations, requiring quick thinking, situational awareness, and practical self-defense skills. [Watch]
Make sure your attorney has the facts about fists.

Remember: if you can’t avoid or otherwise get away, pepper gel is always your first choice! [More]
Maybe it’s your first choice.
Mine gives me the advantage of being able to avoid carrying out defensive violence altogether.

That’s because they want gun ruled “dirty, deadly, and banned.”
