It’s always the places where you can’t have a gun that you need one the most – NYC attempted kidnapping

I don’t give a fuck what the law says about justified shooting.

If you try and kidnap one of my children in front of me, I will shoot you with every round of ammo I have on me, go to my car to get more ammo, shoot you again until I’m out, drive home, get my gas can, come back, burn your body to ash, chug water until I’m about to burst,  then piss your ashes into the gutter.  Only then will I consider the threat effectively neutralized.

And in at least half the places I’ve lived, most cops would look at what I did and say “that seems pretty reasonable, you’re free to go.”

In NYC, you can’t defend yourself from pedophile kidnappers and if you tried, you’d probably go to jail for a hate crime against an oppressed person with an alternative sexual orientation.

Finding out about Good Samaritan Law in TN

Yesterday, I was messing around in the truck’s center console where I keep one of my trauma kits and I realized I did not know if Tennessee had a “Good Samaritan Law” in the books. After a quick Google search, I found Tennessee annotated code § 63-6-218:

63-6-218. “Good Samaritan Law.”

(a)  This section shall be known and cited as the “Good Samaritan Law.”

(b)  Any person, including those licensed to practice medicine and surgery and including any person licensed or certified to render service ancillary thereto, or any member of a volunteer first aid, rescue or emergency squad that provides emergency public first aid and rescue services, who in good faith:

(1)  Renders emergency care at the scene of an accident, medical emergency and/or disaster, while en route from such scene to a medical facility and while assisting medical personnel at the receiving medical facility, including use of an automated external defibrillator, to the victim or victims thereof without making any direct charge for the emergency care; or

(2)  Participates or assists in rendering emergency care, including use of an automated external defibrillator, to persons attending or participating in performances, exhibitions, banquets, sporting events, religious or other gatherings open to the general public, with or without an admission charge, whether or not such emergency care is made available as a service, planned in advance by the promoter of the event and/or any other person or association, shall not be liable to such victims or persons receiving emergency care for any civil damages as a result of any act or omission by such person in rendering the emergency care, or as a result of any act or failure to act to provide or arrange for further medical treatment or care for the injured person, except such damages as may result from the gross negligence of the person rendering such emergency care.

Always good to double check stuff like this. Although I believe most States have some sort of Good Samaritan Law, it is always better to make sure you are covered and legally safe.

Are you?

Most People do not have a concept of Violence.

Here is an example:

How many times have we been told we are some sort of blood thirsty animals because our solution to deadly violence upon us is dishing it back and we describe it? We shock some sensitive souls with our “crassness” which is simply realism of what needs to happen because otherwise it will happen to us.

I can’t criticize helmet guy because his intentions were honorable and good. Anybody willing to stand up to criminals deserves kudos, but we also need to make people understand that there more than likely be violent and painful consequences when they make their move and are not prepared for them. Hollywood has programmed people into thinking bad guys will just cowardly run away at the slightest verbal confrontation. Reality has taught us otherwise.

If we intervene, we must make sure we thoroughly “win” and that is not an easy thing to predict. And then comes the legal aftermath which we will subjected to. It makes you wonder if being a good person is worth it.  This is something I always confessed changes with me every day: Sometimes is “Not my circus, not my monkeys” and the next day will be “But of course I will intervene. It is the human thing to do!”

I guess I will never know till it happens.

Best illustration that we are down to electing Royalty

Rules do not apply to them.

On the left (in more ways that one) are Texas legislators who ran away from the state to break quorum and sabotage the passing of Voting Laws.

On the right, just regular folks traveling under Covid Theater rules.  And that is not enough:

The above are more Texas legislators pretending to be more “folksy” and running away in a bus still without wearing a mask against US DOT Covid mandates and the added bonus of a case of beer!

But the  best commentary award goes once again to the Babylon Bee:

It’s always the places you can’t have a gun where you need it the most – San Francisco car jackings

One in a mall garage:

Another on the street:

In unenlightened society, where we value the right to self defense, if someone attacks you and gets into your car with you, you can ventilat that piece of shit with a couple of hollowpoints.

In Progressive, tolerant, enlightened San Francisco, you just hope and pray you don’t die and that the cops will respond in less than 30 minutes.

Because I’m a knuckle-dragging redneck, I prefer to live where if someone tries to jack my car I can rupture his liver with a 38.  Those places, not coincidentally, have fewer car jackings.  The potential of catching a bullet from an angry and terrified driver has a way of discouraging potential car jackers.

But what do I know, I’m just a dumb redneck.
