Armed citizen stops attack on pregnant woman outside Florida grocery store
By Cam Edwards | 11:30 AM on October 26, 2022

*** begin quote ***

A bystander drew his gun on a man accused of beating and stomping on his pregnant girlfriend outside a Publix super market, ending the “brutal” attack, Florida deputies say. The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, in the parking lot of the Largo grocery store, according to an arrest affidavit. The woman told Pinellas County deputies that her boyfriend, Cole Danisment, 27, got angry and punched her in the face repeatedly. She fell to the ground, and Danisment is then accused of stomping on her head and upper body.

The woman told deputies that Danisment knew she was 14 weeks pregnant with his unborn child. A man who witnessed the attack said he feared for the woman’s life, prompting him to intervene. Danisment didn’t stop brutalizing the woman until the witness pulled a gun on him, according to the affidavit.

According to police, Danisment had a no-contact order issued just last week after another domestic violence arrest that prohibited him from being anywhere near the woman he allegedly assaulted. That court order didn’t stop him from allegedly carrying out the brutal assault of his girlfriend, obviously. It took a stranger who was lawfully carrying concealed to bring the attack to a close without it escalating any further.

*** end quote ***

Court orders don’t protect victims.  A gun gives them a fighting chance.

The court order should come with a loaner gun and quick training session from the local sheriff or deputy.

And, if the domestic violence suspect comes close enough to be shot, then that is a de facto “good shooting”.

GUNS: Responsible gun owner stop s robbery with no shots fired

Friday, October 28, 2022

https://palexander.substack.com/p/i-will-take-concealed-carry-anytime?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=579356&post_id=80411577&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

I will take ‘concealed carry’ anytime over the knife, see what this piece of garbage faced when he pulled the knife on the supermarket cashier; gun owner was responsible, others might have opened up
Dr. Paul Alexander

Every time I get engaged about concealed carry it seems to be after a disaster (i.e., young girl killed by a shot at a fleeing criminal).  I’m forced to defend the principle in a specific bad example.

Here’s a good example of the principle in action.  No shots fired; no one hurt; and robber stopped cold.

Concealed carry does NOT equal “Wild West” shootouts.  (Which by the way were very rare. “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein)

GUNS: “Gun rights are women’s rights, but they are also human rights.”

Thursday, September 29, 2022

Gun Rights Make for Good Manners and Safe Nations
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

No woman on the frontier protecting the family’s homestead was complete without her rifle, and no woman living in today’s increasingly lawless society is complete without the means and capacity to put down quickly any potential attacker, no matter the aggressor’s size.

Gun rights are women’s rights, but they are also human rights. No person — regardless of sex, size, color, nationality, or any other phenotypic reality — should ever be forced into a position where self-defense is not an option. Any person walking down the street should be in near total control over whether that walk will be his last. Police forces, no matter how vigilant or dedicated, do not supplant a civilian’s sacred duty to fight back when pressed.

*** end quote ***

When my sainted paternal grandmother was asked by a social worker if the rifle over her fireplace was loaded, her typically terse response was “weren’t be no good if it wasn’t.”

When the author wrote “No woman on the frontier protecting the family’s homestead was complete without her rifle”, I immediately thought of her as twelve year old new married woman with her thirteen year old husband leaving Germany dirt poor and eventually traveling the Oregon trail in a Conestoga wagon to meet and settle down with relatives in Portland Oregon.  I never got the chance to ask her his she had to use that rifle.  But I have no doubt that she would.

Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!

Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

It’s hard to imagine that the USA disarms women in the hope that it makes them “safe”.  It makes them “victims”.

Argh!

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

GUNS: How many women are now considering carrying some sort of self-defense? Not enough!

Sunday, September 18, 2022

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/im-a-woman-who-runs-alone-im-furious-about-eliza-fletchers-killing/ar-AA11Deud#image=AA11E301|2

I’m a woman who runs alone. I’m furious about Eliza Fletcher’s killing.
Opinion by Amanda Lee Myers, USA TODAY – Yesterday 4:34 PM

*** begin quote ***

Robinson said she’s now considering carrying some sort of self-defense on her runs. But she resents even having to think about it.

“I am not a violent person, I don’t own weapons, I don’t have a gun in the house,” she said. “So for me to even make a comment saying, ‘I feel like I need to carry something,’ it’s intimidating. Like, we shouldn’t have that feeling.”

Like Robinson, running has made me feel invincible at times. Strong, healthy, fearless. But one leer, one sexual comment, a threatening lunge, can take that away in a split second.

No one should have to feel like this. No one should be attacked on a run. No one should forget Eliza Fletcher and the run she couldn’t finish.

*** end quote ***

Sorry but it is a cruel hard dangerous world out there. In the wild, there are predators and prey.  Large and small.  And, for as much as the “civilized world” would like to ignore that simple fact of life, it’s inevitable.  

Everyone has the RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE!  No matter what politicians and bureaucrats say, legislate, or enforce, EVERYONE must be prepared to defend themselves from the crazies, the lunatics, and the feral humans.  Not to forget the animal kingdom’s less threats — bear, cats, and dogs. 

At the very least, every recreational runner should have a shark knife, pepper spray, and a suitable handgun.  Think of it as added “training weights”!

Then, the situation awareness to identify threats and, as necessary, eliminate them.

Remember “God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown

Police have confirmed an 11-year-old was involved in the brutal beating and robbery of a 70-year-old woman in San Francisco earlier this month.

Horrific video footage shows a 70-year-old Asian woman being attacked by a group of juveniles in broad daylight.

It has now been revealed how together with the 11-year-old, a group of teenagers aged 13, 14 and 18-years-old also participated in the attack.

*** end quote ***

“God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown

If this woman was armed and trained, then she should have been able to resist the muggers.

Despite most of their ages, she should have ended the attack by giving them “their shots” that they so richly deserve.

They may be young, but they are “feral animals” that should be put down.

Sad to say, but they deserve no mercy.

GUNS: A shotgun may well have saved this man’s life

‘He shot my arm off!’ Robber armed with AR-15 flees California liquor store after 80-year-old owner blasts him with SHOTGUN

  • An 80-year-old business owner Craig Cope defended his store with a shotgun
  • Cope had a heart attack because of the shock, but saw off his attackers 
  • The would-be robbers approached Norco Market & Liquor in Norco, California, planning to rob the store while wearing a facial covering

This is the incredible moment a robber armed with an AR-15 fled screaming from a California liquor store after the 80-year-old owner blasted him with his shotgun.

Craig Cope opened fire after the 23-year-old armed intruder entered his shop in Norco in the early hours of Sunday.

Four suspects armed with guns were waiting outside, planning to rob the store while wearing facial coverings, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

But security camera footage shows Cope reaching for his shotgun and firing at the first robber as he burst in.

The man screamed out after being hit in the shoulder and ran from the store.

‘He shot my arm off! He shot my arm off!’ the man can be heard shouting as he runs back to a black BMW SUV.

*** end quote ***

Well, I can’t say I have any sympathy for the robbers.  The guy was lucky he wasn’t killed.

GUNS: Let’s sprinkle some “sheep dogs” (i.e., armed citizens) and make the “game” “interesting”

Man sucker-punches woman, 89, in face on Manhattan street
1010 Wins Newsroom – Yesterday 8:46 AM

*** begin quote ***

An 89-year-old woman was sucker-punched in the face by a man as she walked on an Upper Manhattan street this week, police said. The NYPD released images Friday of the suspect in Monday’s assault in Washington Heights. Police said the victim was walking with her family on W. 161st Street, near Broadway, around 4:30 p.m. when the man came up and slugged her in the face. The victim suffered an injury to her right eye and cheek. She refused medical attention, according to police. The assailant was last seen fleeing eastbound on W. 161st Street. Police believe he’s between 20…

*** end quote ***

I’d really like to see old folks be able to return fire.  

I don’t know what her family consisted of but I bet there was another woman in it.  I’d like to see her “even the sides”.

As a little L libertarian, I want peace.  But everyone should have the right and ability to defend themselves.

GUNS: Interesting facts about Israeli AR15 carry — Seems reasonable

Monday, June 27, 2022

thttps://www.quora.com/I-carry-a-concealed-weapon-Suppose-Im-at-a-store-or-a-restaurant-inside-or-out-and-see-someone-coming-with-an-AR-How-do-I-know-when-or-if-to-shoot-Should-I-wait-till-he-starts-pointing-it-or-what

 

Israeli Girl

*** begin quote ***

In Israel soldiers are required to keep their issue weapons on them at all time, so there you’ll see young ~20 y/o women walking around with slung full auto rifles, sometimes in civilian clothes. They’re not doing this to make some kind of political point, and they’re usually friendly, so please don’t shoot them!

-Israeli carry rules prohibit magazine in gun when not in use, so her magazine is held in place with a special carrier that fits in the magazine well, keeps the mag accessible for quick use and also keeps dirt/junk out of the otherwise empty magwell.

*** end quote ***

Seems like an idea we should borrow.

GUNS: The Left likes “school shootings” to advance their gun control agenda

The Most Terrifying Reality about School Shootings
By Charles Turot

*** begin quote ***

Here is the terrifying truth: the radical left wants mass murders in schools. They are useful for gaining power. I can no longer blame friends who imagine that the killers are some sort of Manchurian candidates, released to further a narrative and serve the purposes of the left. I don’t believe that, but the idea follows logically from the same conclusion I’ve drawn about school shootings: the left likes them. The left is powerful. There will be more. We could prevent them. We won’t.

*** end quote ***

One has to believe based on the evidence — like California STOPPING reporting violent threats — that the author is onto something.

Of course, we have to harden the “soft targets”, end “gun free zones” aka target rich environments, and allow people to defend themselves.

Argh!

So simple,
