Sadly, more and more that is getting to be a shitty wishful thinking.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A woman was kidnapped, brutally beaten and raped by a man at a Nashville apartment on Friday, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Carl Rouse Jr., 49, is charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and rape, among other charges.

On April 12, Hermitage patrol officers responded to 644 Glastonbury Road to a reported assault at Glastonbury Woods Apartments. The victim was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where police interviewed her. The victim told police she and friends were hanging out at an apartment when Rouse entered and began yelling at them.

She said he took her phone and wallet and began punching her in her head repeatedly, saying she was not leaving, and he was not going to let her go, according to an arrest report. Rouse then dragged the woman to a bedroom, threw her on a bed and raped her, according to police. The woman’s husband later walked into the apartment and got her help.

At VUMC, the woman went through medical scans which revealed she had a fractured neck and face, along with a severe cut on her head. She had additional bruising on the face, arms and head, police said.

I found Carl Rouse’s criminal history and it dates back to the 90s. This fucker should have been in prison, but they kept letting him go. From drug dealing to Felon in possession of a firearm and even a prior case similar to this one last year, this guy has over 50 felonies charge in his record, but mostly were either dismissed or he was given parole which he went to violate.

He remains jailed Monday morning on more than $200,000 bond.

He’ll be walking free soon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – This week the Tennessee House could pass a bill that would let teachers carry a concealed gun. The bill would allow staff members in private and public schools to carry if they do the required 40-hour training and get approved by authorities.

Monday, Melissa Alexander came to the Cordell Hull Building with her son, a Covenant School student, for a press conference about the bill.

“My son is sitting right here because he was protected by his teacher that day,” she pointed out.

 

Covenant School moms try to stall House bill to arm teachers (wsmv.com)

No lady, your son is sitting right here because people with guns and the willpower to use them showed up and put the asshole Audrey Hale down.

They read a statement from a Covenant School teacher to try and stop the bill before it passes the House.

“I simply cannot imagine how I could have pulled out a gun with 10 children underfoot and in my arms,” Alexander read from the statement.

The words are from a preschool teacher who watched 13 students in a small closet the day of the shooting.

 

If you cannot figure that one out, you have no business being a teacher. I bet she has a car and drives it every day, something a bit more complex than drawing a gun and pulling the trigger at somebody threatening the kids she claims to want safe. Yet, she sends an anonymous message seeking pity and support for not doing what was right.

I understand why more parents want to homeschool and they are 100% right.

In a previous post, Put it in a holster and don’t touch it, I recounted the story of a Massachusetts cop who blamed his SIG P320 for going off without pulling the trigger.

I thought, at the time, he fat fingered the trigger when taking his gun out to take a shit.

I was wrong.

What he did was so much worse.

Cambridge school resource officer accidentally fired gun while taking it off restroom hook, officials say

A school resource officer at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School had hung his gun on a hook in the staff restroom and accidentally fired it while removing it last Tuesday, officials said.

At around 1:45 p.m. on April 2, Cambridge Police Officer Frank Greenidge took his department-issued gun out of his holster and hung it on a staff restroom stall hook by its trigger guard, according to a statement from Cambridge police and Cambridge Public Schools. When he took it off the hook, the gun fired, the statement said.

What.

The.

Actual.

Fuck!?

His SIG P320 went off when he put a bathroom stall coat hook through the trigger guard.

This moron needs to be kicked off the police force forever.

What is diffCarry.

In Florida:

It’s a felony to block a road with a protest in Florida.

It’s legal to run over protesters who threaten you in self-defense.

Constitutional carry is legal.

Protesters know not to fuck around.

Over the weekend, Iran fired over 300 rockets and suicide drones at Israel.

The Jew-hating alt-Right celebrated and stood with Iran.

Lucas Gage is a USMC veteran.

Iran was behind the Hezbollah bombing of the USMC barracks in Beruit.

Iran supplied EFPs and other anti-armor weapons to insurgents in Iraq to kill soldiers in convoys.

Iran took American Marines hostage for 444 days when they captured our embassy in Tehran.

Those are the people these idiots support because every day is Year Zero for Jew-haters.

Antisemitism rots your brain.

On Saturday, a crazy man with a knife killed six people, and wounded many more, with a knife in the Bondi Junction mall in Australia.

You would be hard pressed to find a bigger advocate for concealed carry than myself.

I also live in the real world where concealed carry is not an option everywhere all the time.

It could be a prohibited place in a concealed carry friendly state like a school, or a visit to a non-concealed carry friendly place.

I was just in Florida at Universal Studios on vacation with my kids. I can’t bring a gun to a theme park.

You need to mentally prepare yourself for what to do if you don’t have a gun.

What items can you use as improvised weapons.

In Australia this guy used a belt barrier post.

My go-to item to look for is a fire extinguisher. It serves as both a ranged weapon and in impact weapon. True, fire extinguisher solution or CO2 isn’t an irritant like OC or CS, but a blast of very cold to the face is disorienting and better than strong language.

You need to be prepared to defend yourself with what you have at hand, not what you wish you had.

Adapt, improvise, overcome, survive.

On a previous post I mentioned that I was going to spend Sunday building an AR-9 pistol.

Spike’s Tactical has a good reputation and I managed to acquire this for a decent price. I was lacking some part which I got at a gun show on Saturday and on Sunday I finished the lower without having to search for flying springs or much cussing.

The I tried to mate the KVP upper and it simply would not work. It refused to seat.

I inspected the inside and I saw that there was contact between the upper and that wire-thingie holder (Yeah technical name)

I did a silly experiment: I mated a PSA lower from a pistol I have and there was a perfect match. I even managed to shoot one round through it.

I hate complications on stuff that is supposed to be simple. I am not going to go the Way of the Dremel and suddenly I dread to go chasing another lower from another brand to see if they fit, especially after doing some reading in different forums and realizing AR9s is not an area known for its standarization.

I will be looking into some of the conversion/adapters for stardat lowers out there and a couple look promising.

In the meantime, if anybody is interested in a 9mm stripped lower, email me.
