A Happy Outcome

17-year-old shoots and kills two masked men breaking into his home [More]

Everyone who demands guns be kept locked up and separate from ammunition, and forbidden to anyone under 21, would rather the attackers had killed everyone inside, especially since that would have given them more fuel to pour on the “gun violence” fire to demand new bans.

Reports implying the home invasion was targeted don’t change the fact that even if it turns out in grand jury findings that the teenager had previous dealings with the perps, what he did in this instance was justified.

I Wonder How [Insert Grabber Name Here] Would Have Fared

He was able to pull out his firearm and shoot the suspect four times in the chest… Mendez is now speaking out about the importance of the Second Amendment and how law-abiding, armed Americans can help end shootings before they claim more lives.  [More]

I’d argue with limiting positive outcomes exclusively to the “law-abiding,” but otherwise, yeah.

Memphis Belle

Tucker Carlson: “Our Entire Country Will Be Memphis if We Don’t Put a Stop to This Insanity Right Now” [More]

I’m debating with myself on whether I want to write more on this or not. There are some points frequently made here that I don’t see anyone else hitting very hard on, if at all. In any case, there’s already stuff in the pipeline that comes first.

Much to Their Astonishment

Shocking moment Chicago woman is attacked and robbed at gunpoint by group of men on sidewalk in broad daylight: Terrified residents of upscale neighborhood say they never expected this to happen on ‘quiet block’ [More]

No need for smoke detectors and fire extinguishers– we haven’t had one of those around here since forever… 

I bet Sharon Tate probably thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too.

You can improve the odds. You can’t eliminate them.

And why does the Vulcan crew of the Intrepid come to mind?

No Thanks to the Gungrabbers

An alleged would-be carjacker in Chicago is now in critical condition after being shot by his own victim on the west side of the city. [More]

If it wasn’t the norm, the question of how many times this mutt has been caught and released wouldn’t be my first one. My second question is what’s his survival and continued care going to cost taxpayers?

My next question is who but a tyrant or a useful idiot would rather the victim had been killed rather than armed?

I note my local “news ” channel wants helpless surrender to be the default instead of preparedness, training, and will.

Give them what they want, we are urged, which brings me to my last question.

What if what they want is you?

It’s your life being threatened, not your property.

Slay-at-Home Mom?

Mother of 2 fatally shoots alleged intruder, claims self-defense [More]

They say that like there’s some doubt…

That the cops let her go is a good indicator– if there was a problem with her story, separate interrogations of — and story comparisons between — the 12 and 14-year-olds will reveal inconsistencies soon enough.

A ‘Feel Good Story’ to Make You Smile

After the Brazilian government permitted the killing of motor cycle riders who rob & kill citizens – in order to put an end to this menace, this is what the citizens there are doing!!! When Law Enforcement do not do their job, citizens will… [Watch]

And no, I don’t know how true that is, but who doesn’t love a happy ending?

It’ll be a sad one if they put Lula back in power.
