Alleged Intruder Hospitalized After Being Shot by Homeowner [More]
And the DA, a Democrat who boasts of her support by Demanding Moms, will decide if she wants to file charges.

An Age-Old Question
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Connecticut’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns. [More]
Good– it makes a key undeniable point:
Over 200 colonial and Founding-era militia statutes throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries not only permitted, but affirmatively mandated that persons aged eighteen to twenty acquire and keep arms.

Wasp spray for self-defence. [More]
And not to be outdone, we have oven cleaner!
My philosophy is somewhat different.
Yeah, I know, but what if I’m in a “gun-free zone”?
If it’s not a place crawling with security that wouldn’t let spray in anyway, why would I be?

Who Could Have Seen THAT Coming?
Accordingly, we hold that LCMs do not fit the constitutional definition of “arms” before even reaching whether they are “commonly used for self-defense.”However, LCMs also fall outside either protection of the right to bear arms because the provisions protect only those arms that are commonly used for selfdefense, and we have been presented with no credible and persuasive evidence or argument that LCMs are commonly used for such a purpose.

Gee, who would ever think those arguments could be a trap?

The Bear Necessities
The Bear Necessities
A man from Bethlehem said he was caught in a tough situation that involved self defense and breaking the law…he fired a few warning shots before the bear finally took off into the woods. He said it wasn’t until the next day that he realized that he had unintentionally shot the bear. [More]
I’d feel better about this if he’d just admitted that yeah, he shot the damn bear. What the hell else was he supposed to do?
‘Any’
“You, your occupants or guests, or the guests of any occupants, may not engage in the following activities … discharging a firearm in the apartment community… Any violation of this paragraph shall be a material breach of this Lease and will entitle us to exercise all rights and remedies under the lease and law.” [More]

Hold Onto Your Hat
A Washington State University (WSU) student says he was assaulted outside a popular campus bar in February by an instructor and another university employee for wearing a hat supporting President Donald Trump. [More]
Misdemeanor assualt charges are hardly adequate. Since fists can and do kill, their victim would have been justified “buying them each a round.”
Let’s hope this follows cowardly lying communists Patrick Mahoney and Gerald Hoff around for a good long time, and that they both run into men who want to see what they’re capable of one-on-one.

They’re Not the ‘Only Ones’
Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]
My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

Here We Have Idaho…?
Idaho Gun Owner Found Not Guilty in Self-Defense Case – An Idaho gun owner from Kuna was found not guilty by a jury of his peers recently in a case that some are questioning why the gun owner was charged in the first place. [More]
Meet the prosecutor. Evidently, she takes her oath as seriously as she takes a dog’s.
She was endorsed by a self-described “staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment.”
Think he might reconsider…? We could ask…

Survival Malpractice
What do you do if you’re an innocent person, you’re not doing anything wrong and somebody OC sprays you…? [Watch]
For starters, develop the situational awareness of a clam colony…
No way would I let that sketchy guy be that close to me, let alone turn my back on him and then go into phone drone mode…
And two can keep their attack hand hidden.

CPRC Study: Concealed Carriers Stop More Active Shooter Cases Than Police [More]
You can review the data and the methodology for yourself.
Gun-grabbers would rather the citizens who stopped aggressors had been unarmed and that the attackers had succeeded so they could dance in the blood and demand more.

Once a Task is Just Begun, Never Leave it ’til it’s Done
Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor & Richard Hayes discuss the major changes in self-defense law and how new legislation could shield gun owners from civil lawsuits after a justified use of force. If these laws pass, could it mean an end to financially devastating lawsuits for self-defenders? [More]
“If…”
