BIG BAR, Calif. — A woman who was attacked by a mountain lion in Northern California says her dog jumped to her defense and was badly wounded in protecting her.

“I don’t think I will ever be able to live up to how amazing and loyal she is to me,” Erin Wilson told the Sacramento Bee on Tuesday.

Wilson, 24, lives in rural Trinity County, about four hours northwest of Sacramento. On Monday, she drove to the Trinity River near unincorporated Big Bar to take an afternoon stroll with Eva, her 2 1/2-year-old Belgian Malinois.

Lesson one: If you look like cat food, you will be dinner. Unfortunately, we never know what predators of the four-legged species feel like having for supper. BE READY! BE ARMED! Yes, it California and she probably can’t get a gun, but use other weapons. Even a frigging walking stick is better than good wishes.

Lesson two: Belgian Malinois are awesome. We had two back in Venezuela. One was 100% police stock and the other was 50% Belgian Malinois and 50% Killdozer because he was HUGE for the breed. Mean assholes both of them when it came to strangers and invaders, but total puppies when it came to loved ones. Belgian Killdozer weighed more than the missus or my mom, but it became a huge teddy bear when he was around them. I was more of a chewtoy/plaything at fun times.   They are smart and very obedient and understand their place in the pack.

Stay frosty whenever you go into the wilds, carry something and having a good fierce companion is not a bad idea either.

These are the same people that will celebrate in the streets as you head to the ghettos and eventual extermination.

The family of 53-year-old Andre Mackneil, who was gunned down in a Buffalo, New York, supermarket after purchasing his 3-year-old son’s birthday cake, may go after a major gun manufacturer.

Mackneil’s daughters, Leandra Elliott and Deja Brown, have many questions regarding the suspect.

“We’re so confused. It’s like how did he get this weapon?” Brown told CBS News.

The sisters said they also blame the gun manufacturer. They have retained Buffalo attorneys John Elmore and Kristen Elmore-Garcia, who are investigating potential claims against Remington which, until 2020, produced the Bushmaster rifle allegedly used in the massacre.

“I reached out to the lawyer in Connecticut, Josh Koskoff, who had the only successful lawsuit against a gun manufacturer of an AR-15. He said that he would be willing to help,” Elmore told CBS News.

Elmore said they could go after Remington, if its Bushmaster was used, because “it is designed for the military, it is designed for war.”

We knew it was bound to happen. Somebody smells another big pay off and some people believe nothing says “I wanna memorialize my Daddy’s memory” better than a lawsuit raking millions up so they can get some “well deserved” rich people shit.

Hat Tip MarkC

Reader Jon K sent me this last week, but my brain went stupid and I absolutely forgot to share with everybody. My apologies.

I will also confess that I have not but cursory checked them out and look legit, so I cannot vouch if they are good all the time or they behave like the online retailer of old we all came to hate for not being reliable. Caveat Emptor.

I am going to quote Jon straight from his email since he made more sense than me could at this early hour.

Heres a PROVEN gun easily concealable with a range bag and med kit for a good price. Anyone can take this setup and some ammo and TRAIN. Training to avoid, deescalate and deter a fight is better than anything else.  
This is at Big Daddy Unlimited.
99 cent first month then cancel, not a fan of BDU but a good deal is a good deal.
$321 for a good piece of kit. 
$520 for an optics ready higher cap version and a black backpack for those lacking eyesight. 
SW may mark everything to 500 msrp but bundles like these are top notch for a starter kit. 
Please forward to anyone you know needing an affordable gun or kit RTFN. 

And I don’t think the warranty would cover it.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) argued that handguns “are not for hunting. They’re not for protection. I think handguns are, frankly, for killing people. We need to do something about making sure that bad guys don’t get their hands on handguns.”

What was she being interviewed about? The Buffalo Mass Killing in where the asshole Payton S. Gendron used an AR 15.

How she got to handguns is beyond me unless she simply cannot differentiate between an AR and a pistol which would not surprise me.
