Ex-Girlfriend shoots intruder dead; investigation ongoing

TULSA, OKLA. (KTUL) — Tulsa Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened early Tuesday morning near 124th Terrace and Kingston Avenue.

Officers were called to the scene around 2:45 a.m., where they found 27-year-old Sean Six suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.

He was transported to a local hospital but later died from his injuries.

According to homicide detectives, the investigation indicates Six forced his way into a home where his former girlfriend was staying with a friend.

Investigators say he initially attempted to enter through a window before kicking in the front door.

Police say the woman’s friend fired a shot after Six came inside the residence.

The individual who discharged the weapon was interviewed by detectives and later released as the investigation continues.

Iran Proves Value of our Second Amendment

It is estimated that Iranian police, military and paramilitary forces have murdered more than 36,000 unarmed citizens in the past few months. No one will know the actual number until after the current regime falls.

Some of the victims were simply protesting. Others were murdered because they were caught outside, so their killings were convenient for the government’s henchmen.

Not a single member of the Iranian police, military or paramilitary forces has been arrested much less charged for even one of the 36,000 killings—not a single one.

The current Iranian regime has said very little about the thousands of deaths, but everyone knows the reason. Thirty-six thousand Iranians were murdered simply to make a sick point: Obey the current government or you’ll be shot in the street like a dog.

Iran has no real constitution, much less anything even close to our Second Amendment, so the victims had no chance of fighting back. Personal firearms were seized by the government decades ago.

As a result, the Iranian people became unarmed sheep up against the government’s heavily armed wolves. They stood no chance despite their valor and the righteousness of their cause.

These reprehensible killings can be difficult for many Americans to understand, especially those who don’t fully understand the protections brought by our Second Amendment.

As it stands now in free states, the government cannot order you to turn in your guns and trust that nothing bad will ever happen. This would never happen in Florida, Texas, Mississippi or any other free state, right?

Unfortunately, an anti-gun cancer is spreading across the country, especially in states that were never thought susceptible.

Virginia Democrats just sent a massive collection of anti-gun bills to their governor, but the authors exempted themselves from any legal issues.

“The provisions of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly,” they wrote, ensuring that Democratic lawmakers don’t lose their Second Amendment rights.

Other bright-blue states are following suit. Look at their unconstitutional bills. Almost every single one bans the one weapon and its accessories that gives its owner a fighting chance to defend themselves and their family—the ArmaLite Rifle or AR.

The left’s leadership is solely responsible for all of these unconstitutional bills. They want us spending time and money fighting against legislation that was clearly unconstitutional when it was written, much less signed into law. It’s better that, they believe, than proposing our own pro-gun bills. They don’t care that millions of law-abiding gun owners will become criminals—in some states even felons—once the bills become law.

Our Second Amendment protections have been in place for more than 238 years, but anti-gun politicians simply do not care. It remains the only amendment treated with such blatant disrespect by elected officials who took an oath to support and defend the entire Constitution.

I cannot help but wonder what just one of the 36,000 Iranians would say about our current saga, if one of them were still alive. I am pretty confident they would support an individual’s right to keep and bear arms regardless of their political beliefs, because it provides the ability to defend oneself against tyranny in any form, especially from illegitimate politicians who would knowingly arrest or endanger their own constituents if that’s what their political party tells them to do.

Backup Plan: When The Quickest Reload Is A Second Gun

Back in the day, cops called it a “New York Reload,” a term dating back to the era when New York City stake-out detectives carried two snob-nose revolvers so they could, according to longtime pal and former cop-turned-private investigator Paul Huebl, “instantly switch guns in a gunfight to avoid slow reloads.

“In those days,” he recalled, “semi-autos were too unreliable.”

How’d you like to be the dumb crook who suddenly finds himself suffering from a case of .38-caliber double-vision?

Lots of people carry revolvers, and some carry two; their primary sidearm and a backup. The logic of this made sense the first time I heard about it. Rather than duck for cover and try to reload under stress, just draw the backup and stay in the fight.

Author Workman has found a good combination of wheelguns for those occasions when he “doubles down.”

Probably the guy who perfected the New York Reload was the late Jim Cirillo, a legendary NYPD detective who spent several years on the stakeout unit and, according to various published stories, was involved in seventeen gunfights. He carried a pair of Smith & Wesson .38 Special revolvers along with a 12-gauge Ithaca shotgun, and he is sometimes remembered as the “last of the real gunfighters in America.”

I never met Cirillo. Wish I had, because the stories he shared were educational as well as entertaining. He put a lot of them in a book titled “Guns, Bullets, and Gunfights,” published 30 years ago and it is still available on Amazon. A second book, “Jim Cirillo’s Tales of the Stakeout Squad,” authored by Paul Kirchner, is also loaded with Cirillo lore, and can also be found on Amazon.

Sadly, Cirillo died in a traffic accident in 2007. However, his habit of packing two revolvers was a stroke of genius which is still practiced by a surprising number of folks today, rather than a semi-auto with more firepower in a single magazine than a pair of wheelguns. The downside to the single gun strategy is that if something goes wrong, you might as well have a brick. With a second gun, you’re still in the game.

I’m guilty of occasionally carrying two at a time, and I’ve known police and sheriff’s deputies who have carried backup guns in ankle holsters or in deep-cover chest holsters inside their shirts. Others have carried 5-shot Smith & Wesson Chief’s Special snub guns in coat pockets, on the opposite side from their duty sidearm. It might be impossible to accurately estimate the number of lives saved by the presence of a backup gun, but if you’re a revolver afficionado, packing double is certainly worthy of consideration.

Better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it, eh?Thanks to the light weight of a small alloy-framed S&W revolver, Dave has found that carrying such a revolver in the pocket of a sport jacket or nylon vest is unobtrusive and immediately accessible. Speed loaders go in the opposite pocket.

In Self-Defense

What brought this to mind is that March 13 is the tenth anniversary of an incident involving a guy I slightly knew—and interviewed one week after the fact (the only working journalist he would speak with)—who fatally shot a hatchet-wielding assailant after the man entered a 7-Eleven in a suburb south of Seattle. The hatchet man took a swing at him, barely missing what could have been a fatal head wound, and then turned his attention toward the clerk. The good guy was simply drinking coffee and had never seen this nut before.

I watched the store security video at least a dozen times. It was a textbook example of justifiable self-defense, at least under Washington state’s use-of-force statute; what is generically called a “clean shoot” within the parameters of the “reasonable person doctrine.” The armed citizen shot the attacker three times at virtually point blank range with a J-frame Smith & Wesson chambered in .357 Magnum, an act determined by investigators and prosecutors to have been what any reasonable person would have done in a similar situation. The attacker died at the scene, ending an incident which unfolded over the course of only about 30 seconds. Violence frequently happens without warning, it is so fast one may not have time to really think, just act.

As it turned out, the five-shot revolver was one of two such handguns he was carrying at the time, one in each pocket of his jacket. He remained at the scene, was interviewed by sheriff’s detectives who reviewed the security video, and released. They even let him keep his second gun, since it had not been fired.

Six months later, the county prosecutor’s office announced no charges would be filed. The incident has faded into history, my pal eventually got his gun back, and so far as I know, he went on with his life.

The classic lightweight Colt Cobra is another good choice for either a primary carry piece or a backup gun,. It offers six shots worth of attitude adjustment, and such revolvers can often be found
used in gun shops or at gun shows for very reasonable prices.

Wheelgun Magic

What’s the best way to carry double? There is no one-size-fits-all formula. When I carry a backup revolver, it’s often in a pocket holster stuffed inside of my cover vest’s cargo pocket. My lightweight S&W snubbie can also be carried in a jacket pocket without the holster. It doesn’t print, and I can carry a couple of HKS speedloaders in the opposite pocket. Otherwise, it might be in a Mitch Rosen ankle rig.

Others will used the aforementioned ankle holster for their second gun, or an IWB rig on the opposite/weak side, or even front or rear, depending upon one’s cover garments. It is a very fast way to stay in the fight, should the circumstances require, and by the time your ten, eleven or a dozen rounds have been fired, you will have made a lasting impression.

Remora offers a handy pocket holster with a surface which keeps it in the pocket when the gun is drawn, via friction.

Years ago, I worked with a guy who carried a small S&W .38 Special in his pants pocket, as he typically wore neatly-pressed cargo pants. Nobody could tell he had that gun. He also had, close at hand, a Colt .45 Commander.

What handguns would I recommend? Here’s where it gets fun. There are so many great revolvers for this practice from S&W, Colt, Ruger, Taurus, Charter Arms and Kimber; new or used, you can find some very good deals on revolvers since they’re not as popular as semi-autos. The carry combinations are virtually endless. One might obtain a pair of S&W Model 10 snub guns, or a Colt Detective Special backed up by a Colt Cobra.

Personally, I have carried a Colt Diamondback and a J-frame Model 442 Smith, both in .38 Special, or a .357 Magnum Model 19 S&W with a 2 ½-inch barrel, backed up by a .38 Special at times. One might opt for a pair of J-frame five-shooters, as my acquaintance mentioned above.

Thanks to collaborations between S&W and Lipsey’s, there are new wheelguns in .44 Special and .38 Special available, and they do not have the internal locking mechanism. I suspect the majority of two-gun packers carry .357s or .38s, either with hammers or hammerless, and having one or two of these little shooters beats the heck out of having no gun at all!

There’s no trick to carrying two revolvers, outside of practice and the right choice of holsters and carry positions. You’ll burn up a lot of ammunition, with the ultimate goal of speed and accuracy. Of course you should practice shooting with both hands.

Packing a backup gun is a sign of preparedness, not paranoia, and carrying revolvers doesn’t limit anything. Instead—as in my case—it has broadened my perspective, and given me plenty of time to think about all the various carry options.

Carry with confidence and do it discreetly.

The synagogue’s own security force TCOB.
Verbum sapienti sat est (A word to the wise is sufficient)

Michigan Synagogue Attacker’s Vehicle Registered to a Dearborn Resident from Lebanon

FOX News’s Bill Melugin indicates the vehicle driven into Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, was registered to a Dearborn resident from Lebanon.

According to Melugin:

I’m told by three law enforcement sources that the vehicle used in the attack at a Michigan synagogue today is registered to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lives in Dearborn, MI. I have a name, but am waiting for confirmation that name matches the badly burned corpse that was driving the vehicle.

Breitbart News reported that the attacker drove into the Temple Israel building Thursday and was engaged by security and killed.

NBC News noted that a “security guard was injured” and “eight first responders were being treated” for unknown injuries as well.

There is a school at Temple Israel and no students or staff were injured.

FBI Warns California That Retaliation From Iran May Be on the Way.

Iran has already retaliated with drone strikes across parts of the Middle East. Apparently, the plan for California was already in place, even before the U.S. and Israel launched their initial strikes against Iran on February 28.

Neither the FBI nor the White House has issued a comment on the matter.

ABC claims to have read the alert sent out. It says in part:

We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran. We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.

The New York Post describes it as an “army of drones” that could be launched from a vessel off the West Coast of the United States. The post also suggests that California is home to about half a million Iranian dissidents, the largest number of any state in the U.S., but it’s not clear if that’s why it was targeted specifically.

On Wednesday, a reporter asked President Donald Trump if he was concerned about Iranian attacks on American soil. He said, “No, I am not.”

The Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security has said Iran and its proxies could pose a threat through targeted attacks on the US, but a large-scale attack was highly unlikely.

ABC also points out that the Mexican cartels’ use of drones at the U.S.-Mexico border has become an increasing concern for the federal government in recent months.

John Cohen, the former head of intelligence for the Department of Homeland Security, told ABC that he’s concerned about drone attacks from both the West Coast and the border. “We know Iran has an extensive presence in Mexico and South America, they have relationships, they have the drones and now they have the incentive to conduct attacks,” he said. “The FBI is smart for putting this warning out so that state and locals can be better able to prepare and respond to these types of threats. Information like this is critically important for law enforcement.”

This is a developing story. 

Homeowner shoots and kills intruder in Somerset County, state police say

A homeowner shot and killed an intruder in Somerset County on Monday morning, authorities said.

Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release on X that troopers were called to a home on Locust Street in Somerset Township around 2 a.m. on Monday for the reported shooting. At the home, investigators found one person dead near the back of the residence with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.

State police said the homeowner told investigators that he was awakened by loud banging on his kitchen window and a man demanding to be let in. The news release said the man broke a window and attempted to enter the home. The homeowner told authorities he warned the man that he was armed and then shot him when he continued attempting to enter the home.

The preliminary investigation found that the homeowner, who was detained and taken to the state police barracks in Somerset, was acting in self-defense. The investigation continues, state police said. The identity of the man shot and killed was not released as of Monday evening.

Boy, 11, shoots, kills mom’s boyfriend who attacked her inside home, police say

An 11-year-old boy shot and killed his mother’s boyfriend after the man attacked her inside a Philadelphia home late Thursday night, police said.

The shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. inside a home along the 1100 block of South Peach Street. Police said a 30-year-old man, identified as Jaimeer Jones-Walker of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, was arguing with his girlfriend inside the bedroom of her home.

Police said Jones-Walker didn’t live at the home and he double parked on the street before entering his girlfriend’s house. The woman told police that Jones-Walker attacked her during their argument.

“It was verbal and possibly turned into a physical altercation,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

The woman’s 11-year-old son then grabbed a handgun and fired one shot, shooting Jones-Walker in the face, according to investigators.

Police and medics were called to the scene and found Jones-Walker unresponsive inside the second-floor bedroom. He was pronounced dead by medics at 11:59 p.m.

Both the woman and her son remained at the scene and are cooperating with the investigation, police said. Officials said the gun that was fired is legally registered to the woman.

Shyreea Blocker, a resident in the neighborhood, told NBC10 she heard the commotion that led to the shooting. She also said she would often hear the couple fighting.

“Like arguing and fighting but that’s nothing new with them,” Blocker said. “It’s a shame. It shouldn’t be like that.”

Another resident, Gilbert Blocker, told NBC10 he was concerned about the impact the shooting will have on the boy.

“The things he’s going to suffer in his heart if he has any feelings, is going to last him not just now but for the rest of his life,” he said.

Sources told NBC10 the boy is currently staying with another family member.

Expert weighs in after child accused of killing mom’s boyfriend

A Philadelphia mother says that her 11-year-old son pulled out a gun to protect her. NBC10’s Siobhan McGirl spoke with an expert about how domestic violence affects children and what resources are available.

“It’s disturbing and sad. And I feel apprehension about what is going to happen with this child, what is going to happen with his mother,” Director of Philadelphia’s Office of Domestic Violence Strategies Azucena Ugarte told NBC10. “Experiencing violence in the home has long term effects, but we know that children are resilient.”

No arrests have been made in the shooting and no charges have been filed. Police continue to investigate.

Women in South Africa take up guns and martial arts for protection against gender violence

BRONKHORSTSPRUIT, South Africa (AP) — At the command of a female instructor, a line of girls and women, some wearing pink ear protectors, shoot five rounds at a target with 9 mm pistols as they undergo firearm training at a range in the agricultural town of Bronkhorstspruit just outside South Africa’s capital, Pretoria.

The group, some as young as 13 and others up to 65, are looking for ways to protect themselves in a country where gender-based violence is such a critical problem that it was declared a national disaster by the government in November.

“Check your grip, check your line of sight,” shouts Claire van der Westhuizen, the lead female instructor at Lone Operator shooting range, as women with well-manicured nails reload for another round.

The training course is specifically designed for women and offers practice in real-world scenarios like self-defense firing while lying on their stomachs and backs.

Femicide rates in South Africa are among the highest in the world, according to U.N. Women, the United Nations agency for gender equality. A South African study in 2022 found more than 35% of South African women aged 18 and older had experienced physical or sexual violence at some point. In most cases, the perpetrator was an intimate partner.

Joining ‘a family of support’

Sunette du Toit, a working 51-year-old grandmother, was pushed to take up firearm training after surviving a home invasion by five men who tied her up and ransacked her house, she told The Associated Press.

“I was not in a position to defend myself at that point,” du Toit said. “I had to do this (firearm training) for myself to gain my confidence back to be able to move in public, and even in my own house, without feeling vulnerable.”

She called the women’s firearm training group “a family of support.”

Firearms in South Africa are heavily regulated. Anyone who wants to own a gun for self-defense must be over 21 and pass proficiency tests and background checks.

Various self-defense trainings for women are popping up throughout the country.

Suspected burglar was shot by Provo resident

PROVO — A Colorado man who police say entered a random house uninvited was shot by one of the residents and later arrested on Thursday.

Lance Andre Hunter, 41, of Aurora, Colorado, was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of burglary, criminal mischief, two counts of theft, vehicle burglary and assault.

Utah County sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in the South Fork Neighborhood of Provo Canyon about 8 p.m. Thursday after Hunter allegedly entered the home uninvited. The home sits on a large piece of property that includes a hangar and a helicopter, according to the sheriff’s office. Hunter is believed to have burglarized the hangar before going to the house.

Once inside the home, Hunter was confronted by the homeowner’s adult son. Hunter began yelling at the people in the home, prompting two women to run into an upstairs bedroom and lock the door, a police booking affidavit states.

After Hunter pushed past the son, he went upstairs and “was attempting to kick in the door to the room they had locked themselves in.” That’s when the son reengaged Hunter, this time armed with a gun, according to the affidavit.

Detectives were told that “the son fired multiple shots at the suspect before the male fled, leaving behind a firearm he had taken from the residents. The suspect was then seen fleeing to a helicopter hangar near the residence,” the affidavit says.

Despite being shot once, police say Hunter stole a vehicle at the hangar that had the keys still inside and tried to leave the area, but was stopped by responding deputies.

“The suspect would not comply with deputies’ commands and had to be wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. The suspect was taken to Utah Valley (Hospital) and treated for his gunshot wound before he was transported and booked into Utah County Jail,” according to the affidavit.

A spokesman with the sheriff’s office says the investigation into Hunter’s activities was still ongoing Friday. Investigators believe another vehicle found in the area was used by Hunter to arrive at the home. Why Hunter chose that home and whether he is responsible for additional burglaries remained under investigation.

Change in Ohio law makes murder convictions tougher when self-defense claims used

DAYTON — A 2021 change to Ohio law is making it more difficult for prosecutors to secure murder convictions when a defendant claims self-defense.

As reported on News Center 7 at 6:00, the law shifted the burden of proof to the state, requiring prosecutors to prove a defendant did not act in self-defense rather than requiring the defense to prove they did.

The impact of the legal update was recently seen in two Montgomery County murder trials that ended in acquittals for William Pointer and Anthony Perkins.

These cases come as police and prosecutors continue to navigate a system where defendants are now presumed to have acted in self-defense once the claim is raised.

Under the current Ohio statute, a defendant can claim self-defense as long as they were not the initial aggressor.

While the core definition of self-defense remains, the 2021 update changed the legal requirements during a trial.

Previously, defense attorneys carried the burden of proving that their client acted in self-defense, but the law now presumes the defendant acted in self-defense unless the state can prove otherwise.

Des Moines homeowner shoots alleged intruder during late-night break-in

DES MOINES, Iowa —

A 46-year-old woman is facing a felony charge after police say she forced her way into a Union Park home late Saturday night and was shot by the homeowner.

Des Moines police officers were called just before 11 p.m. to a residence in the 1500 block of Guthrie Avenue after a 911 caller reported that an intruder was attacking the homeowner. While officers were en route, the caller told dispatchers that the intruder had been shot.

When officers arrived, they found Stannita Wilson inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers provided first aid until Des Moines Fire Department rescue personnel arrived and transported Wilson to MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center for treatment.

According to investigators, the homeowner reported hearing someone yelling in the backyard, followed by banging on the back door. When the homeowner unlocked the door, Wilson allegedly forced her way inside and began assaulting the resident.

Police said the homeowner, who was armed with a handgun, shot Wilson during the confrontation.

Wilson’s injuries were described as minor. After being treated and released from the hospital, she was charged with second-degree burglary, a Class C felony.

Police said Wilson was not known to the homeowner. As of Sunday, no charges had been filed against the homeowner.

The incident remains under investigation

“Could Be”? I don’t know what you’d call what happened in Austin anything else.

Be Armed and Ready – the Asymmetrical Battlefield Could Be Here at Home

Asymmetrical warfare means applying the strengths you have against an overwhelming enemy’s weaknesses. The goat sex pest mullahs have been utterly humiliated by America’s and Israel’s overwhelming military superiority in conventional forces, with our airplanes, drones, and other systems traversing their airspace at will after we established total air supremacy. Our ships sail the seas, unthreatened and unchallenged, while most of the Iranian Navy morphs into submarines. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the capacity to strike back, and that doesn’t mean that we don’t have potential weaknesses. Everybody has weaknesses. Ours is located in the United States itself, our homeland, where we’re at. It’s already happening on a small scale, with open immigration poster child Ngdiaga Diagne shooting up a bar in Texas for Allah. We’re vulnerable here, and you are potentially on the front line of this war.

Time to be ready. Time to be armed. Time to get some.

What’s our vulnerability? Civilians, normal Americans, who Iranian proxy terrorists could murder in heaps. Until Donald Trump came back, we had four years of wide-open borders where every Third World indigent with shoes and a dream was able to sashay into our country, unimpeded and often subsidized by President Eggplant and his Democrat administration.

We know the Iranians have agents in the United States – that’s open source, and everybody gets The FBI is on full alert, now that it protects American citizens again instead of oppressing them. This is not wolf-crying. The Iranian mullahs tried to murder Donald Trump and others and have caused lots of other mischief outside their borders. Now, the Iranian jihadis are not superstars, and they’re not super-geniuses. They are cunning and relatively competent at times in doing what they do, and what they do best is attack innocent civilians.

As we can see, when they come up against soldiers, they die a lot. Well, there are lots of innocent civilians here in the United States, and it is not unreasonable to assume that the Iranian Republican Guard Corps has infiltrated sleeper cells into the United States. Once activated, they have the potential to go on a murder spree unparalleled in American history, one that would make Saturday night in Chicago look like a picnic with the Muppets.

I wrote about this in my bestselling novel, published not long after October 7, because October 7 is the asymmetrical terrorist mass assault template, called The Attack. The Iranian thugs helped plan and approve the Hamas massacre of innocent Israelis (as well as some Americans), which is more of the reason that they’re getting nothing but what they deserve right now.

The idea behind an asymmetrical strike is simple. You send in minimally trained but maximally indoctrinated killers through the open border, and they wait. They wait in small groups, taking no action until activated. It’s not hard for them to get weapons into the United States, and part of the beauty is that you don’t need complex weapons.

The AK-47 family of assault rifles was designed so that Siberian peasants would have an effective weapon system they could operate, even if they came from a village still baffled by devices such as the wheel. You can buy ammunition in the United States, and magazines, and recently, it was not that hard to ship fully automatic weapons across the border. Until Trump closed it, there was no shortage of cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl. The cartels would eagerly assist, for a price paid out of the pallets of cash that Barack Obama and Ben Rhodes dropped on them.

The advantages of this are obvious. Under Biden, nobody was looking for them. We didn’t do any interior enforcement. Now we famously are, and we can only hope that getting Iranian-adjacent illegal aliens out of the country is one of ICE’s top priorities. Of course, neurotic wine women and femboy libs will have a conniption over us deporting these potential terrorists, but we need to do it, no matter how hard they blow their whistles.

Just remember that the killers don’t have to be Iranian. They can be from Chechnya, Egypt, Afghanistan, Turkistan, or some other random -stan. The Iranians aren’t picky about who they work with. Iranians are Shia and Hamas are Sunni, but that didn’t stop them from getting together to murder Christians and Jews. Anybody from the Middle East who’s over here illegally, and some who are here legally, absolutely have the potential of acting for Iran if activated.

We’ve already had jihad murders here, like the Pulse nightclub and San Bernardino shootings. We hear less about them lately because Muslim murderers have had the limelight stolen by trans deviants who’ve gone on killing sprees over their pronoun gripes, but that doesn’t mean they are gone, as totally as real Americans as you and me, Ndiaga Diagnes demonstrated.

The beauty of this scenario for our enemy is that it is a quintessential asymmetrical attack. It takes the weaknesses of the Iranians, like the inability to coordinate forces, lack of logistical and administrative support, the absence of command and control, and paucity of concurrent communications, and turns those into strengths. When those don’t exist, the cells are hard to locate. If you have small groups of fanatics, whose sole purpose is to go to a given location at a given time, and kill everybody they see until they themselves are killed, you don’t need any kind of support.

They are akin to drones – meat drones that their overlords can fire and forget. And since American forces tend to look at the enemy support systems to find weaknesses, which is one of our advantages because we do it so well, you end up neutralizing the American advantage. Americans want to beat the enemy long before there’s an actual gunfight. In this way, against an Iranian enemy, an asymmetrical attack would ensure lots of gunfights, giving Iranian proxies the ability to cause significant casualties where they wouldn’t have the ability to do that otherwise.

In The Attack, thousands of these little cells are activated and strike, murdering scores of Americans before the government is able to form a coordinated response. But, as in reality, in the book, we see what I suspect we would see if the Iranians attempt something like this in real life. What we would see is normal Americans fighting back.

You see, if the homeland becomes a battlefield, we all become soldiers. We have a great counterintelligence team, and the FBI is back to protecting the American people instead of the Democrat elite. Still, they, along with our great law enforcement first responders, can’t be everywhere all the time. We citizens, can. All of us could be face-to-face with the enemy, whether another Ndiaga Diagne at a bar or a bunch of like-minded psychos in a church, a school, a shopping mall, or at a militantly cis-gender hockey game; their goal would be to bring the war to us, and our obligation would be to fight it and win it. But how do normal citizens do that?

You buy guns and ammunition. You train with them. You carry them legally. You get into the mental mindset that bad things can happen, and you need to be ready. Except in the blue states, where they put up hurdles to stop you from defending yourself, your family, your community, and your Constitution. Gavin Hairstyle and his ilk would rather you die than upset the aforementioned neurotic wine women and femboy libs who fear guns and manhood.

This admonition that you must be a warrior too is not some hooah big talk. That’s reality. As everybody knows, except liars and fools, armed citizens have long been able to intervene to stop crimes with their lawfully carried weapons. What we’re talking about here is something even more sinister than some gender goblin with a grudge over his unwanted penis shooting up a preschool; it’s terrorists shooting up everything as part of a plan to commit mass murder as terrorist retaliation against the United States for taking out their pals in Tehran.

You’ve got to be ready. If you can legally carry a weapon on you, you should, and a long weapon in the truck provides you with critical combat options if this goes down. But you should also practice with your guns. And don’t forget the other component of this – medical training and gear to stop the bleeding should you find yourself in the middle of a terrorist attack.

You didn’t ask to be a hero, but you are an American citizen, and that makes you hero-capable. It is your duty as an American citizen to do your best to protect your fellow citizens. If you can fight, you’ve got to be ready within the guardrails of your abilities and the law.

Our great troops are fighting this battle overseas as we speak. There is a non-zero chance we will have to fight this battle in America. Some people will dismiss this warning as silly. Some people will dismiss this as paranoid. They will run when it happens. You need to decide in advance that you won’t.

If it doesn’t come to fruition, that’s more than fine with us. We don’t want a fight, but, dammit, if those b******s start a fight in our home, we need to be ready to finish it.

Man reportedly killed in self defense in Springfield ID’d; neighbors shocked it happened

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) — Police are investigating after an early morning shooting in Springfield Friday.

Officers were sent to a home in the 1700 block of Maiden Lane at 12:56 a.m. on a report of a shooting.

Upon arrival, they located a man, later identified as Anthony Walker Jr., 28, who had been shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead by Springfield Fire Rescue Division medics.

Authorities say the shooting was in self-defense, and that there are no threats to the public.

Neighbors in the area who say incidents like these are rare for this neighborhood.

They said that this area is typically quiet and that fireworks were the loudest disturbances they were used to.

One person said the fireworks they thought they’d heard early in the morning turned out to be gunshots.

“We heard about five pops and thought someone’s shooting fireworks again,” said a neighbor, who says she has lived nearby for years. “They started roping off the area so we knew something was up.

“It’s just like a quiet small town.”

The neighbor says they were stunned learning someone had been killed.

“We were pretty shocked that kind of excitement unfortunately coming around here,” she says. “It’s not normal. Not at all.”

Other neighbors shared the sentiment: This is not the area where things like this happen.

‘minor threats’. Phlogistonic propaganda

Missouri Supreme Court opens door to using deadly force in self-defense, even over minor threats

Missouri’s “stand your ground” law allows a person to use physical force “to the extent he or she reasonably believes such force to be necessary to defend himself or herself.”

[no it doesn’t. SYG means you are not required to flee from where you’re at. An idiot and biased take from whoever wrote this at NPR]

An earlier appellate decision said deadly force, like using a firearm or a knife, can be used to protect yourself against death, injury or assault, if the force is reasonable. Prosecutors fear the ruling will affect victims of violent crimes and could make meaningless the state’s Castle Doctrine, a version of “stand your ground” laws.

[where the NPR news writer came up with that idiot take, I haven’t a clue either, as the ‘Castle Doctrine’ also isn’t implicated in the case. This is a pure Use of Force in Self Defense case]

An appellate court ruling that critics say will broaden when people can use deadly force as a self-defense will now remain in effect after the Missouri Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

With the Tuesday refusal of Danielle Lechocki’s case, a November ruling by the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, will stand. The decision was decried by a state prosecutors group as greatly expanding the state’s self-defense law so far that people could justify using deadly force even over a minor threat.

The case involved Lechocki’s use of a knife when she felt “extremely threatened” by another woman during an altercation outside a veterans’ homeless shelter in 2022. A Warren County judge denied Lechocki’s request to use self-defense to justify her actions, agreeing with the prosecutor who argued that deadly force cannot be used to repel a simple assault and battery.

The jury ultimately found Lechocki guilty of attempted unlawful use of a weapon but acquitted her of fourth-degree assault. Lechocki was sentenced to two days in jail and a fine of $1,000.

With the high court’s ruling, Lechocki’s conviction was overturned and the case may return to the county, said Christian Lehmberg, Lechocki’s public defender on the appeal. The judge unfairly prevented the jury from hearing her defense, Lehmberg said.

Evidence-Free Hackery: Another Highly Respected ‘Expert’ On the Alleged Conflict of Guns and Public Safety

Crucial Concealment Covert IWB holster open carry Dan Z. for SNW

Oh look…a Robert Spitzer op-ed. Let’s take a look and see what kind of brilliant insights this very respected expert has for us. He is, after all, an academic that antigun courts take super-seriously. The article’s headline itself — What Happens When the Second Amendment Collides With Public Safety? — is based on a false premise. The reality is, the Second Amendment right to carry need not ever collide with “public safety.”

Especially in the context of the Pretti shooting, Spitzer seems to implicitly accept the argument made by some administration officials (and Trump himself) that the mere act of carrying at a protest means you are asking to be shot by police.

This fraught political moment has thus found the Trump administration in the uncomfortable position of taking criticism from both liberals who blame heavy-handed federal agent tactics and conservatives who bristle at the administration’s seeming abandonment of public gun carry rights.

On the one hand, civilian gun carry is indeed a right under the Second Amendment according to the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in the Bruen case where the high court said that individuals have a “right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.” The court proposed no exception for doing so in a public gathering.

Spitzer says carry is indeed a right “according to the Supreme Court.” Interesting. I thought it was because the plain text of the Second Amendment says we have a right to bear arms, which all relevant historical sources confirm is a reference to public carry.

If you ever wondered why an “expert” like Spitzer (and the other usual suspects) always takes the side of the government in gun rights litigation, you can start with the fact that they clearly don’t believe the Second Amendment protects an individual right at all.

On the other hand, the consequences of such action are clear. Public gun carrying, especially in the context of a public demonstration or similar gathering is, no matter the intentions of the carrier, a terrible idea.

I should have included the very next paragraph. He basically concedes carry is a right (because SCOTUS said so), but then says it’s a terrible idea to exercise that right.

What to do about Mexican Drug Cartels: Letters of Marque

By Lee Williams

SAF Investigative Journalism Project

Special to Liberty Park Press

The United States Congress still retains full authority to issue Letters of Marque, although none have been issued for more than a hundred years.

A Letter of Marque was actually a simple concept. They allowed private citizens in private warships to attack enemy vessels during wartime. These privateers could then take ownership of whatever plunder they seized—gold, weapons or the captured ships—after an admiralty court ruled in their favor and took a percentage of the profits.

Letters of Marque were used for hundreds of years across the globe, because they allowed a country to enlarge the size of their navy very quickly and cheaply.

The authority to issue Letters of Marque can still be found in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution: “The Congress shall have Power … to declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water.”

Congressman Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, and Senator Mike Lee, a Republican of Utah, who both have extremely solid Second-Amendment credentials, have drafted bills that would revitalize the Letters of Marque, in order to target Mexican drug cartels.

Congressman Burchett described the bill in a phone call Monday morning:

“It allows the president to contract out to privateers and go after the cartels,” he said. “These would be top-tier operators, SEALs, Special Forces, Marine Raiders and commando types. Some are still working as private operators. It allows private citizens to act against the cartels. In President Trump’s first term, when he got [Former Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem] Soleimani, the Democrats just berated our military leaders because they didn’t ask for their permission. If the Democrats still want us to ask for their permission, we got some real problems. This is constitutionally provided and has been done before. We went after the Barbary pirates. It’s constitutionally provided and within the law. In this day and age, we need it. The constitution grants congress the power to grant these letters.”

Senator Lee’s bill is titled “S. 3567: Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act of 2025.”

It is described as: “A bill to authorize the President of the United States to issue letters of marque and reprisal with respect to acts of aggression against the United States by a member of a cartel, or a member of a cartel-linked organization, or any conspirator associated with a cartel, and for other purposes.”

It was introduced before the latest outbreak of cartel violence, which has targeted American tourists in Mexico.

It specifies that cartels “present an unusual and extraordinary threat to national security and foreign policy of the United States.”

Senator Lee’s bill would allow “privately armed and equipped persons” to use “all means reasonably necessary” to operate outside our borders and seize any individual and their property who the President has determined to be a member of a drug cartel, or a member of a cartel-linked organization, “who is responsible for an act of aggression against the United States.”

Congressman Burchett was asked if he has discussed his bill with President Trump.

“I have not yet, but I put it out there,” he said. “It is constitutionally sound. We live in dangerous times, and we’ve got American people who need it.”
