Moment in the Spotlight

Should you intervene in a mass attack? Is defending a third person legally different from defending yourself? Do you have a duty to retreat in these situations? And what practical considerations should you weigh, like your physical safety and the chaos of multiple 911 calls? Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Richard Hayes discuss whether you should stop a mass attack, the legal and practical risks of defending others, and how to protect yourself responsibly in high-threat situations.

Having time to think about it, my inner Rick Blaine wins. Responsible people make their own preparations and irresponsible ones disparage armed citizens.

Without having time to reflect, I suppose the unique situation itself would steer my decision and repercussions would be the last thing on my mind. I know from past experience where I felt the end was near my instincts have been to focus and act, not freeze, and do my shaking afterward.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

“Last night in Queens, a memorial for a teen lost to gun violence turned to horror when gunmen opened fire on the crowd, including several young people who are now hospitalized. This cannot be our normal…” [More]

No, it’s not OUR normal, Kathy. But it’s pretty unexpected (oops) for a significant segment of YOUR consituency.

As is blaming it on “gun violence”…

Classy joint sure to attract all the right people, no…?

Homiecoming King

An arrest has been made in connection with the deadly shooting at Tuskegee University in Alabama, which killed an 18-year-old and left at least 16 people injured early Sunday. Jaquez Myrick, 25, of Montgomery, was charged with being in possession of a machine gun, according to authorities, who said he was found leaving the scene of the shooting. [More]

Lemme guess: It’s not registered on the NFRTR…

If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…

Four people were killed and 17 others were injured when multiple shooters opened fire Saturday evening in a bustling entertainment district in Birmingham, Alabama, in what police now believe was a targeted “hit.” [More]

Notice how it’s all boiled down to “conversion devices,” like that’s the issue…?

‘On Their Radar’

Couch allegedly threw a rock at another man’s dog and when asked why he did so, he started cursing, went inside his home, and came back armed with an AR-15. He then allegedly told the man that he would kill him and the dog, per court documents. The warrant states that the man’s 9-year-old daughter was present for the entire exchange. [More]

That an a felony charge was dismissed.

I guess it’s easier just to say “AR-15” after a known nutjob goes off.

A Spree Grows in Brooklyn

“No one in Brooklyn, New York or America is safe until we get weapons of war off our streets. America cannot be the best version of herself until we crush the scourge of gun violence once and for all.” [More]

It might work better if we got criminal constituents of Democrats off the street.

Interesting description by the way. All the suspect has to do is change his clothes and he could be anybody.

The Neutral Zone

An active shooter threat in Tennessee was neutralized Monday, with police reporting that the person shot and killed themselves before they could execute a potential mass shooting event in a Chattanooga office park. [More]

“Was neutralized” or he changed his mind without any intervention by authorities?
