Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
In short, the evidence supports a compelling narrative that Alexander fired a deadly bullet at her husband and step-children while in a state of malice induced by their just concluded verbal argument–a classic example of aggravated assault (three counts).
More than the mere sum of its parts. The Narrative can be too persuasive…it must be fought or we also fail.
It’s dangerous. It’s very dangerous. I believe, Mr. President, we are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War.

And your side frown on weapons….at least those in private hands. Maybe you may want to start FOLLOWING the Constitution and bring down the political rhetoric a notch or two hundred?
And no, the hippies will not flood the streets to defend you, nor the unions or the Obamaphone carriers. You guys start something, there will be a name for your movement:
Occupy Downrange.
A gallery of photos from the Westgate Shopping Center terrorist attack.
This picture just hit me hard:
I am somehow supposed to be detached and understand that the “freedom fighters/revolutionaries/etc” may have a legitimate gripe against society and the injustices it had visited among their people, blah, blah, blah.
After looking through the photos of the gallery, I just don’t feel very open-minded and understanding, you know?
May the Lord forgive me, but some people on this planet need to be obliterated with extreme violence.

Moms are up and foaming again:
Mr. Evans left his Kahr CM9 on top of the toilet paper dispenser which is a major bonehead thing to do. Bathroom breaks are one of those Carry problems that somehow we haven’t been able to come up with a good solution, but that is the life we have chosen and the responsibility is ours.
But why the sudden furious clamor coming out of the Moms? A quick Google search for left gun bathroom point out at several incidents this year and the Moms pretty much ignored them. So what happened in the Show-Me State that has brought the wrath of Moms For Cheap Lemonade upon them? Not sure but maybe (just maybe) has to do with Senate Bill 75 coming into effect and which “allows schools to annually teach the NRA Eddie Eagle Gunsafe® Program to help keep children safe by preventing gun-related accidents?”
Because everybody knows Eddie Eagle is just a marketing ploy by firearm manufactures and gives free guns to children so they can enact Columbine Massacres in their schools, right?
OK, really I don’t know why they are up in arms about that incident, but my guess is as good as any and it even makes sense…which may invalidate it altogether since we are not dealing with Vulcans here. More like Klingons with better make-up and hair products.
This was another Angela Corey case. The defendant’s husband (with a history of violence), under a restraining order got in her house where she got a gun and dispensed a warning shot.
But now Alexander has another chance. Judge James H. Daniel ordered a retrial, arguing that Alexander had been held to too high a standard to prove self-defense. “The defendant’s burden is only to raise a reasonable doubt concerning self-defense,” he wrote, which is incidentally how the jury ruled in the Zimmerman case. “The defendant does not have the burden to prove the victim guilty of the aggression defended against beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Make no mistake, Ms. Alexander has a tough case to face and she might not go free. And contrary to what the article says, this case is not Stand Your Ground either. Apparently any dubious shooting in Florida is now immediately branded Stand Your Ground by an eager and idiotic Press.
I think it is time we have some sort of modification to our self-defense laws in which brandishing in face of danger is not considered assault with deadly weapon. I would like to have more options than two: Either I don’t draw at all or I draw and put a bullet on another human being. I am all for being able to show a possible attacker that he is about tone second away from making what could possibly be the last mistake in his like and that he should change his intentions the soonest.

I always love the way progressives claim to be in favor of strong women but love to call them stupid
The article from ThinkProgress (Irony right there) states:
Two-thirds of women who own guns purchased them “primarily for protection against crime,” but studies have found that a gun in the home is associated with a higher risk for intimate partner violence and murder, particularly for women.
What comes after is the well-known stats on violence against women, except ThinkProgress fails to mention that the violence was applied against unarmed women by armed or stronger males. Notice that they never said ” X% of women who bought guns for self- protection were killed by that gun or were never able to use it to defend themselves.” They are not outright lying, but they are not being quite candid on their manipulation of the presented factoids and how they relate to the original statement. And they can’t say it outright because there is no study and the information available through news items show exactly the opposite: An armed woman ceases to be a victim and the aggressor tends to assume room temperature.
Remember, these are the same people who blame abused women for the passing of Stand Your Ground laws.
