Draw your phone before your gun

Apr 13, 2024 J. Kb 8 comments

I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s.

The idea of pulling out my phone and recording every damn thing is anathema to me.

I hate seeing other people do it.

Unfortunately, I think we’re all going to have to adopt that mentality.

 

According to the news, the man who drew the gun is being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The problem is, we only have the video of the guy who got the gun pointed at him, and he was the guy who approached the other driver.

We don’t know if he was threatening before he started recording.

We don’t know if the other driver was justified in pulling his gun.

Expect your enemy to use their phone against you.

You need to, I need to, be prepared to use your (and my) phone against them.

If you need to draw and fire, you should have video justification for why you did.

Looks like a city council was tired if these stuipd activists running their mouths and not suffering any consequences.

I hope her prison sentence is long and miserable.

Never say die, Memaw edition

Christine Jenneiahn, an 85-year-old woman in Bingham County, Idaho, shot and killed a home invader in an act of self-defense.

The details provided by the Bingham County prosecutor show what sort of tough old bird Jenneiahn was.

 

She was struck in the head and handcuffed to a chair, and still managed to get a THREE FIFTY FUCKING SEVEN MAGNUM, get into a firefight, and blast the home invader with it.

She took a couple of 9mm herself, and refused to die over the next 10 hours until her disabled son could bring her a phone and she called 9-1-1.

Holy shit.

I’m sure she lived because death saw that and was too scared to come down and take her.

Never say die, don’t give up the fight.

Guy on the internet knows nothing but still has opinion

Found this gem:

 

I guess he should have looked up the requirements for training to be a law enforcement officer in Tennessee through the Tennessee police academy.

 

Oh look, 40 hours of firearms training and 50 rounds.

Yes, this is the minimum, but I can’t imagine a police academy doing much more than the minimum to get people to pass.

If 40 hours is enough to train a cop to carry a gun, it should be enough for a teacher.

Now, frequent readers of this blog know that support training way beyond the bare minimum, and most cops are shitty shooters.

So, of course, we support teachers training regularly. But this guy clearly is of the mindset of the magic fairy dust of government authority, so private training is irrelevant to him, all that matters is official government traing.

He knows nothing about what the standards are for the police, but he knows equivalent standards for teachers is insufficient.

Michigan safe storage law is potential unconstitutional and horrible

Michigan to offer free gun locks to help owners comply with new secure storage laws

Gun locks will soon be available free to the public at local health department offices in Michigan as part of a new program that is to be announced Friday by the Michigan State Police and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

The locks are to be given out at MDHHS county offices and many local health departments statewide to help Michiganders comply with a new secure gun storage law that went into effect in February.

The law now requires all unattended firearms to be unloaded and locked with a locking device or stored in a locked box or safe if a child could have access to it. Anyone who fails to properly lock a gun that a child later uses to injure themselves or another person can be charged with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $7,500.

If an unsecured gun is used by a child to kill another person or themselves, the owner can be charged with a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

Here is the text from the law:

I see a few problems here.

First, is the potential for abuse.

I can just imagine some ex-wife calling the cops to say her husband has an unsecured gun that their child has access to during visitation.

Second, how is it enforced.

Then there is the question of, what happens if the child defeats the lock?

Those cable locks can be defeated by a pair of wire cutters, not enough to stop a determined teenager.

If a teen breaks into your house and steals your gun, and it was locked but the teen cuts off the cable lock, does the adult still get in trouble?

Third, this is potentially unconstitutional under Heller.

This is from Scalia’s opinion.

Is a loaded gun, locked in a safe, or an unloaded gun with a lock considered inoperable?

It might be, and therefore might be unconstitutional.

You know that I totally believe in locking up your guns. But the state can’t mandate it, and there are too many problems with this law that could get innocent people into trouble.

You can’t take on the military

Apr 9, 2024 J. Kb 26 comments

I hope we never have a war between the American citizenry and the US Military.

I mean that sincerely.

The results would be horrific for both sides.

But there are some people, mostly on the Left, who think the US military would trounce the shit out of the citizenry because of their vastly superior technology and training.

That, I doubt.

The US Navy proved that today on their official Instagram page.

If the shit ever hit the fan, and the military was maneuvered against the American people, there is a not insignificant chance that personnel ordered to occupy our city streets will have their weapon optics mounted backwards and have no idea how to shoot their gun.
