self-defense - The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Expectant Enough

Florida Sheriff Offers Advice to Would-Be Home Invaders in Florida: “You Should Expect That You’re Going to be Shot” [More]

Just not ALL home invaders…

The Children Weren’t Nestled All Snug in Their Beds

Houston man being robbed by children on Christmas shoots them, injuring 3 [More]

At lease we know who was naughty. Or would, if keeping the identities of young predators from the victim pool weren’t policy…

On the bright side, it’s a Christmas present for the prohibitionists, who get to add these child shootings to their “gun violence” stats…

Unsure as Shootin’

California Isn’t Sure If You Can Defend Yourself from Wild Animals [More]

We know.

So do they.

Unless there were witnesses, why report it to the standing army?

At Great Inconvenience

Convenience Store Employee Disarms Alleged Armed Robber [More]

Was the reason he couldn’t shoot him his decision or his employer’s?

[Via bondmen]

We’re the Only Ones Conceding Enough

Police Chief: Homeowner Who Shot Intruder ‘Had Every Right to Protect His Family’ [More]

Now, what if he’d shot him with an unregistered machinegun?

We are talking rights, aren’t we?

What Do You Need an ‘Assault Weapon’ For?

Detectives learned that multiple armed people reportedly forced entry into the home. An occupant of the home was armed and began firing his weapon, hitting one of the armed suspects. [More]

If war comes to your door, what kind of weapon do you want?

Girl Power!

Homeowner’s Daughter Shoots Alleged Intruder Dead [More]

Based on their own propaganda, the grabbers would rather have seen her brutally slain than have a gun in the house. Preferably shot to death so they could add to their one-sided “statistics”…

I’m reminded of a line I used years ago that shows the difference between them and we whom they brand as paternalistic throwbacks:

What a rabbit you seem compared to the free and confident armed women whom secure and trusting men cherish and admire.

Good ones are out there. To find and then hold onto one, first be true to yourself.

No Fool Like an Old Fool

Grandfather Of Teen Killed During Burglary Says AR-15 Made Fight ‘Unfair’ [More]

Multiple masked intruders with brass knuckles and a knife… and if the resident didn’t have a gun…?

[Via WiscoDave]

Speaking of Laws Repugnant to the Constitution…

A Bronx bodega worker who allegedly shot an armed robber with a gun he “found” in the store’s bathroom is facing criminal charges — but advocates are calling him a hero. [More]

What kind of real fascists would bring up and pursue charges?

If I were on that jury I’d find him extra not-guilty just for creativity.

My Kind of Town

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…

Go-No-Go

What are the limits of self-defense, and when is the use of force considered unjustified under the law? [Watch]

In a dynamic situation you’re not going to have a lot of time to decide. Do what you can to give yourself choices instead of no choice.

Something in Common

Why some Ohio school districts are arming teachers and staff with firearms [More]

And you know what none of those schools have had…?

Woman Alive Only Because She Didn’t Listen to the Gungrabbers

Armed Intruder Shot by Homeowner During Break-In Attempt in DeSoto, Texas [More]

[Insert name of prohibitionist/group here] would rather she’d been killed than armed.

Now tell us more about Octavio.

A Teaching Moment

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.

[Via bondmen]

Drop Dead

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.

What Have We Learned?

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?

By the Numbers

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.
