Gentlemen’s Agreement

Former MMA Fighter Stops ‘Devil Mask’ Gunman From Shooting Up Tampa Bay Strip Club… The masked man was promptly arrested on battery and assault charges, as well as purchasing a firearm while under a risk protection order. [More]

Demands to close “TRO Loophole” in 3…2…1…

How come they call places that incentivize men to act like pigs and women to act like whores “gentlemen’s clubs”?

A Temporary Setback

Detroit armed robber shot in chest by concealed carry permit holder after threatening to kill friend: police – The alleged robber, Joshua Fordham, is a convicted felon not legally allowed to carry a gun [More]

It’s so cold in the D.

No worries. Gretchen Whitmer and the Democrats, abetted by “No right to work” union Fudds, are working nonstop to enact unchallengeable criminal supremacy.

Wolf in the Fold

“It is our view that the missing component to the gun violence prevention movement is the faith community,” said Bryan Miller, director of the advocacy group Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence. “The faith community can take charge and lead this effort.” [More]

Jeez, you’d think “real reporter” Zack Hoopes would do a little digging to see if Bryan’s agenda might be more than one of just “faith.” And let his readers know. If he was interested in doing more than a press release.

I’ll stick with Rev. Gilbert Tennent and a Founding era understanding, thank you:

He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend itself.

Or you could keep doing it Bryans’ way.

Valhalla, I am Coming

Santa Rosa student, 16, fatally stabbed in Montgomery High School classroom; 2nd student injured [More]

The two older attackers ganged up on him? And the school board has ensured everyone in the schools is a soft target?

Unless there’s more to this story, what did the kid do wrong?

And why do they still have that racist Viking logo, and what did Vikings do to people?

Text 911 and Die

Ohioans in danger may soon be able to text 911 [More]

I guess, but the same problems of police being minutes away when seconds count and having no duty to protect will still apply. Plus, by the time most victims enter a PIN, pull up the text app and try to type out an intelligible message with shaking thumbs, the danger may be passed — for the attacker, who may be happy for the free phone.

Besides, I never did much subscribe to the “Only Ones” being the only ones, and plan on having my hands full.

Maybe if co-sponsor State Rep. Kent Smith spent less time abetting the undermining of his constituents’ rights and more time protecting and advancing them, the need for such calls would fall dramatically.

More Than Robbers Thwarted

The store owner was subsequently shot in the back by one of the suspects but managed to return fire with two of his legally-owned firearms. The store owner was able to strike one of the suspects multiple times, while the other suspect reportedly fled during the first struggle during the incident… [More]

Every f*****g liar who calls citizen disarmament “commonsense gun safety” would rather the store owner had been unarmed and killed so they could have more blood to dance in. And speaking of f*****g liars, check out the accompanying video.

Of course they’re talking about taking your guns — and doing more than talking whenever they can get away with it.

Deliberate frauds and/or useful idiots: There is no other kind of gun-grabber.

Maryland Prosecutors Treat Veteran’s Self-Defense Claim as First Degree Murder

Despite extensive evidence proving his self-defense claims, Maryland continues to prosecute U.S. Army Veteran Alejandro Gonzalez and hold him without trial for more than 14 months. [More]

If they can do this to him they can do this to you.

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

Potentially lethal force may require defensive deadly force by Miguel A. Faria, MD [More]

Now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with this 2016 classic from a medical expert who is also a champion of freedom.

You have his book(s), right?

This is kind of a side note that goes way off track, but all this information about cerebral contusions and subdural hematomas brings up an observation I had just last night while treating myself to reruns of Maverick on Tubi. He got knocked out twice in one episode with a gun butt, a trope that came up time and again on TV shows of the period, and that I recall was a pretty consistent plot device on this show in particular. That the “heroes” weren’t routinely killed or at least permanently disabled or vegetative tells us a bit about taking what we get from Hollywood seriously. Especially when they’re doing undisclosed bidding.

It also suggests where Rob may have gotten his “shoot-to-wound” nonsense from, and that brings me back full circle.

I’ll listen to a real expert.

Food for Thought

A restaurant diner legally in possession of a handgun watched the incident unfold, and intervened by drawing his weapon while giving Padron commands to stay on the ground and let go of the knife. [More]

All in Kathy Hochuls’ New York…

But wait a sec– we’ve been told gun owners are bloodthirsty white supremacists just waiting for someone to blast away and that those of us who haven’t killed anyone just aren’t murderers yet. So what’s this guy doing actually deterring violence?

Anybody know if Applebee’s has changed its policy? I haven’t had much incentive to go there and check for some time…

An Age-Old Question

At first, he thought it was his uncle, but when he looked out the window, he saw a strange man coming towards his house. The teen who grew up hunting and taking safety training courses went right for his mother’s 9mm gun. [More]

Assuming the story happened as retold, what could the outcome have been had she followed the advice of all the “experts” — or obeyed “the law” where so mandated — and kept it locked up and separated from its ammunition?

UPDATE

And leave it to CNN to lead the charge.

Abusing the Abuser?

Mother of fatally shot restaurant robber says customer who fired multiple rounds ‘abused’ her son: ‘Why didn’t you stop? … He was dead already … That hurts.’ [More]

I’ve had my own questions about the shoot, but there’s one indisputable truth you just can’t get around: If you don’t want someone to shoot you in self-defense, don’t try to rob them at gunpoint, fake or otherwise.
