‘Heart of a champion’: father grieves son beaten to death by mob in Las Vegas

A grieving father in Nevada has paid tribute to his 17-year-old son’s “heart of a champion” and denounced the scourge of teenage violence after the boy was beaten to death by a mob outside his high school for defending a smaller child.

Jonathan Lewis said his son – also named Jonathan – died at the University medical center in Las Vegas last Tuesday, one week after the attack involving about 15 others near the city’s Rancho high school.

Witnesses say the teenager was pushed into a fence then repeatedly struck by the members of the mob when he stood up for a younger friend who had been thrown into a trash can.

Doing a forensic analysis of something like this is terrible. It’s particularly terrible because Lewis is a teenager and teenagers are unable to carry weapons to defend themselves.

I don’t want to say he should have watched another person get bullied and shoved into a trash can because I believe in protecting the innocent.

Lewis died of head trauma, beat to death by a large group.  Reality is that it’s impossible to defend yourself against a mob without a weapon.  It’s death by a hundred punches.

The safest course of action with a mob, and the only course of action when facing a mob unarmed, is to run.

Don’t let yourself get mobbed.  Even with a bunch of teenagers, it’s a death sentence.

Ripping down the local flag and replacing it with a new flag is what has been done by every conquering army in human history since people started carrying flags.

This is an act of conquest.

This guy is going to prison for a long time.

He was carrying a gun illegally and fired warning shots.

I can’t stress this enough, don’t fire warning shots.

It’s effectively an admission that you were not in enough danger to justify shooting someone.

Yes, I know it seems counter-intuitive for non-gun people to understand, but of you were not in enough danger to shoot someone, then you were not in enough danger to pull the trigger at all.

In addition, you don’t know what other unintention damage your bullet will do.

New York also doesn’t allow carry without a permit and is still not issuing permits, despite (on in spite of) Bruen.

The proposed concealed carry law in New York also makes the subway a gun free zone, because New York wants to create Purge zones where criminals have free rein.

Everything this guy did was illegal.

But…

Fuck New York on principle, because they allowed a violent homeless vagrant to run amok and terrorize innocent people.

New York only cares about tax payers when they can tax them or punish them more.

Screaming at Jews that you want to kill them might be something you can easily get away with in New York.

Florida, however, is the FAFO capital of America.

There is a half decent chance, even among the Jewish population, that sort of thing drastically increases your chances of catching a bullet.

And depending on the attitude of the local sheriff, when you find out, the decision will be that you deserved it.

I look forward to our of these pieces of shit taking their fuck around to level ten in the wrong jurisdiction and finding out appropriately.

Gun safety instructor sees dramatic drop in students after Florida law takes effect

Since permitless carry became law in Florida, Tampa Bay area firearms instructors say more gun owners are choosing not to go through the safety training previously required to own a gun in Florida.

“You do not understand how to use a firearm properly unless you’ve taken extensive firearms training,” said Ryan G. Thomas, owner of Tampa Carry, which offers the previously required concealed firearms training, and more advanced training courses as well.

Before the permitless carry law went into effect, Thomas said about 1,000 people would take the concealed carry class every month. Since the law went into effect July 1, Thomas said the number of people taking the course significantly dropped, with only about 200 people a month.

“It upsets me at how many people think that owning a firearm is a game,” Thomas said. “They think all they need to do is buy a gun, walk into a gun range, and they’re just going to figure this out on their own.”

“The CWP classes, I’ve heard from colleagues in multiple counties across the state, and from the NRA at the state level, are down significantly,” said Jeff Davis, owner of GUNSAFETY4U.

“When you go through the licensing process, number one, you have to be trained and then certified by an instructor as being safe per the Florida rules,” Davis said. “What it really provides you with is portability, it allows you to go beyond the borders of Florida.”

I will absolutely agree that firearms training is important and people should get as much of it as they can.

Also, I just spent eight hours going through the Massachusetts LTC permit class hsving previously going through the four hour Florida class, eight hour Arizona, Utah, North Carolina, and Nebraska classes, and the sixteen hour Illinois class, sixteen hours of NRA pistol instructor certification, and several days at the Sig Academy and Thunder Ranch.

That eight hour course taught me nothing I didn’t already know and have taught to others.

Another mandatory class was just a time suck for me.

I had a buddy move to FL.  He had to sut through the FL CCW class and he was a C-class USPSA shooter and an RSO.

I highly recommend training for new shooters.

I hate mandatory training for CCW permits because I don’t like the idea of having to pay someone for a piece of paper to exercise a right.

Also, this guy could sound a lot less like a dick who’s chaffed that a guaranteed source of income was taken from him.

If you’re a firearm instructor in Florida, try and sell your training services as some added value, instead of insulting people.
