Notes from the Resistance
This piece came out while I was away. [Read]
Len Savage was arrested after defending himself, and while the charges against him were dropped, he’s demanding an investigation into LE motives for why his attacker isn’t being prosecuted.
One of the activists speaking at the rally on Saturday was captured on video threatening to harass staffers at their homes and churches. [More]
Which one?
What does he eat for breakfast?

One witness told the station the disabled man was getting “chunks” ripped from him while neighbors also threw items at the dogs in an attempt to stop them. [More]
They’re in FLORIDA, fer cryin’ out loud…
What the hell is wrong with people?
The mother prayed and her children recited scripture even as they heard Goss kicking in the doors inside their home. He eventually found them hiding in the closet that was designated as the family’s safe room. The mother shot him as he entered the closet still holding the knife. Goss then fled the scene. [More]
Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence would rather they had been butchered than armed.

Starbucks fires heroic barista who subdued and protected a co-worker from robbers after getting pistol-whipped in the head. [More]
Ask me when’s the last time I’ve been to a Starbucks…
And what are the priorities of Americans who regularly shell out this kind of money for a cup, plus tip…?

“I’m afraid a homeowner may think someone is trying to burglarize their residence and some innocent kid can get shot or killed.” [More]
If he’s banging on a door at 1 a.m. he’s hardly “innocent.”
You could give somebody a heart attack doing that.
And we all know what the gun safety expert in chief advised.
The robbery victim who fired a shot was a legal gun owner in another state and had a license to carry the weapon from one state to another. He was released without any charges. [More]
What was his first clue?
Good rule of thumb: Highly trafficked public area or “No thanks.”

Armed cartel guys showed up on an Arizona ranchers land. He was 75 years old with a sick wife. They shot at him. He returned fire. Cartels cleaned up the scene. Removed the guns. Now the media narrative is he killed a “migrant.” Rancher is facing 23 years in prison. [More]
Seems we’ve been over this before…

Houston grand jury declines to charge man who shot and killed robber inside taqueria [More]
Why’d they cut off the video just when it got to the good part?

In This House We Believe in Keeping People Safe [More]
I wouldn’t put that sign up.
My audit background tells me information — in this case, intel — volunteered can be used against you.
I feel the same way about racking slides.

Witnesses told police a male suspect robbed the restaurant at gunpoint, firing shots at an employee. Police say the 21-year-old employee returned fire, striking the robber. [More]
For those who say violence is not the answer…
Sometimes it’s the only one.
Especially considering the problem that needs solving.

A 16-year-old was shot and critically injured during a home invasion, Mascotte police say. Police say the teen who was shot may have tried to break into at least two homes. [More]
That’ll help the grabbers with their “gun violence/children statistics, especially if he dies.

“He’s lucky I had bear spray otherwise I would have knocked him to the ground.” [More]
And you’re lucky he didn’t have a gun.

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.

Why “RUN HIDE FIGHT” is all wrong… [More]
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.

Dauphin County carjacking stopped by armed would-be victim [More]
Doesn’t he know you should leave an armed response to the pros?

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.

Does he think he’ll get a new one in the Bronx?
