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.

Bringing a Snake to a Gunfight

This time, however, the store employee responded by drawing a firearm in self-defense, leading to a standoff that ended with Cook’s arrest as police arrived minutes later. [More]

On drugs? IQ 0f 60? Both?

As for the tolerant clerk, he’s further proof that moral people use the amount of deterrence necessary to stop aggression. Working nights because that’s what’s needed and having to deal with aggressive parasites, he showed admirable consistency of principles regardless.

No wonder lying communists call such people Concealed Carry Killers!

That’s One Solution…

Pass a bill guaranteeing qualified immunity and let’s talk. Can we also do it to these domestic enemies? And these…?

Or, how about this as an alternative?

As a side note, look at all the indignant leftists screaming about rights. Funny, how subjective they are when it comes to freedom of political expression.

Speaking of Insurrection and Seditious Conspiracy

Palestine activists block Brooklyn Bridge, Golden Gate and roads to Chicago O’Hare airport in coordinated attempt to bring America to its knees [More]

Follow the money. Then apply RICO prosecutions. How is someone physically preventing me from going where I choose not a coercive attempt at hostage taking that justifies responding with a continuum of force until they stop?

The way I see it, if I block a stranger in public, he has every right to knock me on my @$$ and keep going– and we know it’s often not that simple. Why should what applies to the individual not apply to the collective?

And what about civil remedies? If held up by a mob, sue participants by name if known, or as John Does…? And name financial backers in class action lawsuits.

Hero Sandwich

Dramatic moment Good Samaritan tackles customer who ‘battered and spat at Indiana Subway worker over a sandwich’ – as hero is rewarded with free food for life [More]

And she didn’t even have to hand him a card.

Now watch the perp get a personal injury attorney, claim racism, and go after deep Subway pockets for rewarding vigilantism.

Ludicrous BART Campaign Increases Dangers to Passengers with Cards Against Attackers

Amidst this backdrop, we’re supposed to believe passing cards to third parties won’t do more than aggravate an already insane situation? [More]

Being terrorized on the train by a cleaver-wielding maniac released by the system? No problem, just hand a “You Got Me?” card to a total stranger! And remember to keep voting Democrat to “feel” safe!

Not the Only One?

“I said [at the press conference] if you shoot accurately, and you kill the guy, you save taxpayers money. And I also said that if somebody gets killed during a home invasion, the odds of them re-offending are zero. And we like those odds, which we do,” he told Fox News Digital. [More]

Still, even if you live in Santa Rosa County, the sheriff’s public sentiments notwithstanding, remember one thing when his deputies respond.

Toronto Police Advise Citizens Preemptively Surrender to Thieves to Avoid Being Hurt or Killed

So, take the doorstop and let the criminals (freelance and official) rule the night because, as Constable Marco reminds us, “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.” [More]

Just give them what they want? What if what they want is you?

Coyote Attack Advice Silent on Personal Defense

“When seconds count, police are minutes away” takes over, and the only rational and effective “Action Plan” is “Stop the Threat.” [More]

If you’re going to listen to bureaucrats on keeping safe from animal attacks, you might as well just put on a crash helmet and roller skates, and strap an Acme Rocket to your back.

Warning Shot

A Clark County man was entitled to argue self-defense when he intentionally shot toward a person, and was not required to show he intended to kill or harm the man who threatened him, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today. [More]

While I don’t recommend warning shots, there’s no one-size-fits-all, it worked, and no one was hurt or killed. If history, text, and tradition are the new standards, there’s gotta be a place for “shot across the bow.”

Inducing someone you don’t know to “back off” seems a perfectly legitimate reason for self defense, especially considering what could have happened.

It’s interesting that the three judges against the self-defense claim were Republicans, with three Democrats and one Republican ruling in the citizen’s favor.
