Murder charges dropped in SE Portland stabbing after grand jury rules case of self-defense
A grand jury determined Friday that a 52-year-old man acted in self defense when he stabbed and killed another man earlier this month.
Stephen Bache, 52, was arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder July 8 after the stabbing in Southeast Portland. Prosecutors said they filed a motion Friday for Bache’s release based on the grand jury finding Continue reading “”
The Right Of Self-Defense Is Under Attack
We knew the Second Amendment was under severe attack, but now even the right of self-defense is under serious attack.
Politicians who support efforts to reduce “gun violence” are truly after every gun owner. Mob violence is running amuck; truly hardened criminals are running around masquerading as protestors, and those that should be standing guard for the law-abiding citizens are enabling criminals. And in many places the police have been neutered.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, two attorneys who live on Portland Place Drive, a private street in St. Louis, MO, were videotaped last month defending their home with two firearms. A mob broke through the private gate separating Portland Place Drive from the public street were shouting obscenities and trespassing upon the McCloskey’s property. Fearing for their lives the couple called the St Louis police department who never responded. According to the St. Louis Dispatch:
“To access Portland Place, the crowd entered through an iron pedestrian gate. The McCloskeys told police the protesters broke the gate to get in. St. Louis police said the couple had called police for help once they saw the large crowd enter Portland Place. The McCloskeys had been at home and heard a loud commotion coming from the street; they went to investigate and saw “a large group of subjects forcefully break an iron gate marked with ‘No Trespassing’ and ‘Private Street’ signs,” police said. “The group began yelling obscenities and threats of harm to both victims. When the victims observed multiple subjects who were armed, they then armed themselves and contacted police.”
A video showing the McCloskey’s defending themselves and their property has been shown and reviewed on YouTube, Facebook, and most national as well as Missouri television channels. They have been interviewed by local media as well as Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, and Shawn Hannity as well as pro-Second Amendment blogger and author Dana Loesch.
However, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner (she is what would in other states be called a District Attorney) has in a series of very public actions targeted the McCloskeys. On June 29 she said, “we will not tolerate the use of force against this exercising their First Amendment rights, and we will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable.” Then she sent the St. Louis police department, the same department that did not respond to 911 calls, to seize the McCloskeys’ firearms and finally on July 20, she charged each one with a felony count of unlawful use of a weapon. As most our readers are well aware a felony conviction is an automatic disbarment from owning firearms.
All these actions have nothing have nothing to do with rights of the McCloskeys. It is all political and has to do with Gardner making a statement in advance of the St. Louis primary election slated for August 4. But more importantly it is the opening barrage of a political attack against gun owners’ who use self-defense as the basic underpinning of the Second Amendment. Continue reading “”
Is Anarchy the ‘New Normal’ in the Pac. Northwest? Is It Coming to You?
If this continues in the Pacific Northwest, will it spread to other regions? That’s a question on several minds as the region has become something of a petri dish for the far left to experiment with things like local socialism, gun control extremism and tax-and-spend politics, according to critics.

The Back-Up Gun: 3 Reasons To Carry One
While perusing various online sources of gun-related news and information, I’ve noticed an old term cropping up that I haven’t seen in a long time: The New York Reload.
This term was brought into circulation by Massad Ayoob many years ago after learning that officers of the NYPD Stakeout Unit of the time, who were armed primarily with double-action revolvers, often moved to a second (or third) wheelgun when the ammunition was exhausted in their primary firearm.
Here are just a few of the arguments in favor of back-up guns for home defense and concealed carry:
1. The first gun goes click instead of bang.
Despite our best efforts to purchase firearms from reputable manufacturers, load them with quality ammunition, and keep them in proper working order, firearms can still fail to operate properly at the most inconvenient times.
2. A primary defensive gun is not accessible.
This is especially true in concealed-carry situations. By the time a defensive situation calls for a handgun to be drawn, the dominant shooting hand might be injured or occupied holding an attacker at bay. It’s also possible for a primary gun to be dropped, knocked away, or you may be in a wrestling match with an assailant to maintain control of your gun.
3. Additional guns can be used to arm other responsible adults.
I can’t help but roll my eyes when watching some silly movie in which a man pulls out a handgun as he goes to investigate a noise in the night leaving his poor, helpless wife all alone with nothing but a good set of vocal chords to defend herself. Those Hollywood writers obviously haven’t met the women I know.
Exited their car and just walked in through the front door? Did they bust it in, or did they simply walk in because the homeowner didn’t lock the door or – at least – the screen door?
Good grief people, articulating some facts can make a difference.
Resident shoots suspect during home invasion in Pueblo
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) — The Pueblo Police Department is investigating a reported home invasion in which at least one of the three suspects was shot.
Around 12:15 a.m. Thursday, police were dispatched to the 700 block of Box Elder Street for a reported home invasion.
The two residents told officers that a white car pulled up and parked in front of the home. Three men exited the vehicle and entered the home through the front door. A physical altercation followed and one of the residents fired a handgun at the intruders. The three intruders quickly left and the residents said they believe that two of the three suspects were hit by the gunfire.
Shortly after, a 39-year-old man arrived to a hospital with two non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Police say they believe the man is one of the suspects during the home invasion.
One of the other suspects is described as a bald Hispanic male with a cleft lip, according to Pueblo Police. He was wearing a white basketball jersey with red trim, and he had chest tattoos. The third unknown intruder was described as an older Hispanic man, 6’5″ tall and about 230 pounds. He had grey hair and no facial hair. Police say one of these two intruders may have also been shot during the invasion.
Detectives are still investigating and no arrests have been made as of this article’s writing.
There’s that bringing a knife to a gunfight again
After robber pulls knife on a man on Magazine Street, victim pulls gun
A man facing armed robbers on Magazine Street pulled a gun and forced them to flee, New Orleans police say.
The men met around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday in the 3200 block of Magazine Street. Police say at least one of the suspects pulled a knife “during transaction of purchase.”
The victim then grabbed a gun and told them to leave, which they did.
The robbers were arrested, police say. The number of arrests and their identities of those arrested weren’t released.
It’s unclear the name of the business and what items were attempted to be stolen.
The Second Amendment: constitutional ‘orphan’
Is the Second Amendment limited to a handgun in the home? If the Supreme Court is too gun-shy to answer, the landmark Heller case will continue to be hollowed out by politicians and liberal judges.
NEW SURVEY: GUN OWNERSHIP IS FOR PROTECTION, MOST OPPOSED TO BANS
A new survey among likely voters in 18 key battleground states found the number one reason for firearm ownership is for protection and that most are opposed to arbitrary gun bans.
The survey results, released by the National Shooting Sports Foundation on Monday, found that more than half believe self-defense is the primary motivation for firearm ownership. Moreover, almost 60 percent said that a ban on semi-automatic rifles would have little effect on crime, with 51 percent opposing a ban on such firearms. Just under half said a restriction on magazine capacity would have no effect on crime. Continue reading “”

— Afghanistan Times (@AfghanistanTime) July 19, 2020
A teenage girl in the central Afghan province of Ghor killed a pair of Taliban militants with an AK-47 rifle after the Taliban members killed her parents.
The Afghan teenager, Qamar Gul, used the AK-47 rifle owned by her family to kill two Taliban fighters who attacked her home and killed her parents for supporting the Afghan government. Habiburahman Malekzada, local police chief, confirmed the incident in comments to Agence France-Presse and later reported by The New York Post.
“Qamar Gul, a young girl and her brother, have killed two Taliban fighters and pushed back several others in Tewri district of Ghor province, after the insurgents killed three members of their family,” the Afghanistan Times tweeted with a photo of Gul and the AK-47 rifle.
Malekzada said a group of Taliban attackers initially came after Gul’s father but killed both her parents outside her home after her mother resisted the Taliban attack. It was then that Gul took action to fight off the Taliban group. Continue reading “”
Customer armed with gun stops machete-wielding man who entered Metairie store
A man who entered a Metairie Louisiana convenience store armed with a machete and threatened an employee fled after he was confronted by a customer who was armed with a gun, according to authorities.
The blade-wielding suspect was later identified as Robert Merritt, 37, of Metairie. He was taken into custody after returning to the store while deputies were still investigating, a Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office arrest report said.
The incident began just before 5:30 a.m. at a store in the 2100 block of Cleary Avenue on Friday. An employee told investigators the man later identified as Merritt approached him while he was outside the store, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.
Merritt threatened to kill the employee, then walked inside and began taking beers, according to Rivarde. He’s accused of again threatening to kill the employee, who had walked inside the store.
That’s when an unidentified male customer who was also inside the store at the time pulled out his concealed gun and pointed it at Merritt, Rivarde said.
While Merritt was distracted, the employee grabbed the machete and called 911 for help. Merritt allegedly told the employee he’d leave if given back his machete, according to Rivarde. The employee handed back the blade, and Merritt fled the store, dropping his wallet.
No other information was available Monday about the other customer and whether he had a valid concealed-carry permit for the firearm.
Deputies responded to the scene and were still speaking with the victim when Merritt returned to the business, Rivarde said. The deputies tried to detain Merritt, but he resisted being handcuffed, the arrest report said.
One of the deputies used a TASER stun gun, and Merritt was taken into custody. He was arrested and booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna with aggravated assault and resisting arrest.
Bond was set at $1,000, but Merritt was released the same day because of crowding at the jail.
They’re very general in their description of ‘lower extremities’ aren’t they?
Naked man shot by woman after walking uninvited into her Port Arthur apartment
PORT ARTHUR, Texas — A man is expected to survive his injuries after Port Arthur Police say he was shot when he entered a woman’s apartment without permission and completely nude Monday afternoon.
A 911 call came in around 1 p.m. on Monday about a shooting at Avery Trace Apartments on Highway 365.
Officers found the man with a gunshot wound in his ‘lower extremities.’ Investigators say the man knocked on the woman’s door and entered without permission. That’s when police say she shot him.
From a Port Arthur Police Department news release:
On 07-20-20 at approximately 1:05pm, PAPD received a 9-1-1 call in reference to a shooting at 4101 HWY 365, Avery Trace Apartments.
Officers arrived and found a male subject at the scene who sustained a gunshot wound to his lower extremities. Investigation revealed that this male subject had a approached an apartment while completely nude and knocked on the door. A female occupant opened the apartment door and the male subject walked in without permission.
The occupant of the apartment discharged her weapon, striking the male subject.
The male subject’s injuries were non-life threatening and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No arrests were made and the case is being turned over to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office for review.
Personally, Dad & I run Federal 147 gr Hydra-Shok +p+ that we laid in large stock of when it was still available. Sadly, Federal doesn’t make it anymore. So, I’d go with something close to 125gr jhp +p for social work.
What’s the Best 38 Special Ammo for Self-Defense?
When the question of self-defense with a .38 Special comes up, the first thing we must acknowledge is that any gun is better than no gun. This is partly because no one wants to get shot with any gun, and partly because any gun can serve as a deterrent to violent action, even if it’s never fired. But of course, the question most folks want answered is if a .38 Special is enough gun to stop a violent attack should they actually have to use it.
Biloxi resident fatally shoots intruder
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) – One person is dead following an alleged early morning intrusion in Biloxi, police say.
According to the Biloxi Police Department, they received a 911 call at 1:10 a.m. from a Biloxi resident who shot an intruder at their home located on Old Bay Road. When police arrived, they found the alleged trespasser in the backyard of the house with a gunshot wound.
The investigation is initial thus far. But at the moment, investigators say the deceased did break into the Biloxi residence and the homeowner shot the intruder during a confrontation. Family members of the homeowner immediately called 911 after the incident, authorities say.
No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing.
The analysis video by ASP is pretty good.
Seems I’m not the only one who thinks the Deputy waited far too long before taking care of business. It’s a wonder she wasn’t injured since the deadhead actually got close enough to have stuck her with that screwdriver.
New police shooting in Michigan teaches leftists some hard lessons
The Police Tribune released a body cam video (warning: explicit violence) of a Michigan deputy emptying her magazine (after clearing a malfunction) into Sean Ernest Ruis shortly after the unarmed suspect stabbed a senior citizen and then came after the deputy with a knife and a screwdriver. The deputy fortunately did not heed Joe Biden’s advice to shoot the unarmed man in his leg, as depicted here: “Instead of standing there and teaching a cop, when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing.” This is why she did not, as Black Lives Matter puts it, “oink her last” and why her family will not be getting a folded flag.
There are several good lessons from this incident that should go viral well before the November election.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose policies may have killed thousands of helpless nursing home patients, said, “No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer and too many innocent people have died already.” The bodycam video shows that the deputy emptied her entire magazine, which apparently held 15 or more rounds (that’s five more than Cuomo said she needed), before the unarmed assailant was no longer capable of sticking his knife or something, in this case a screwdriver, into her. This proves Cuomo dishonest or incompetent with regard to the realities of armed self-defense, and probably both.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said, “We protect geese more than we protect — no joke: you can only have three shotgun shells when you go shooting for geese.” The bad guy was still on his feet and advancing after taking four or five rounds not to his leg, as recommended by Shotgun Joe, but to his center of mass.
I’m not a law enforcement professional, but I think the deputy let the aggressor get too close, and apparently within ten feet before firing. Twenty-one feet is Tueller Drill range, which means the assailant can reach you in 1.5 seconds, and you need to not only fire, but also stop him during the little time you have.
My own experience, which was fortunately with a training simulator and not a real assailant, was that the bad guy cut my throat before I could aim and fire. The deputy went more than the extra mile to avoid shooting the suspect and fired only when she clearly had no choice.
In any event, I am sorry that the suspect made the choices he did, and I am glad that those choices did not result in a dead or wounded law enforcement professional along with the wounded senior citizen. We need to Back the Blue in November, and that means a straight Republican vote for House, Senate, and president.
73-year-old Howard County man shoots robbery suspects
HOWARD COUNTY, Texas (KOSA) – Two suspects were hospitalized after they were shot by an elderly man in Howard County.
According to the Howard County Sheriff’s Office, their deputies received a call at 8:42 p.m. of two people being shot.
When the deputies arrived at the scene they spoke with a 73-year-old man who had shot two suspects identified as Rocky Zarraga and Julian Rodriguez Jr.
The man told deputies that he heard a noise coming from the back of his property. When he went to check it out he found two men, identified as Zarraga and Rodriguez, removing parts from a vehicle he owned.
The man confronted the suspects at gunpoint and told them to show their hands. The suspects then reportedly rushed the man who shot them both.
Zarraga was treated at a hospital and has now been charged with aggravated robbery. Rodriguez was airlifted to a Lubbock hospital where he is listed in critical condition
MAN SHOOTS, WOUNDS HOME INTRUDER; SUSPECTS SAY THEY WANTED MONEY FOR HEROIN
MACON COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — Deputies say a Macon County man shot and wounded a home intruder Saturday night, July 11.
The man told investigators a woman knocked on his door and when he answered a man tried to force his way inside.
The homeowner shot the male intruder in the arm and the suspects escaped in a car.
Three suspects, identified as Natasha Kerberg, Carmalita Pike and Kenneth Lawrence were later arrested. They admitted to law enforcement they were trying to rob the man for money to buy heroin. This information led to the drug trafficking arrest of Dean Myers.
Security guard fatally shoots man after being stabbed in Mar Vista altercation

Missouri’s Republican Governor Backs the McCloskeys’ Right to Defend Themselves.
St. Louis, MO has been the scene of violent protests over the past few weeks. In the most notorious case of violence related to the unrest, rioters murdered retired police captain David Dorn and ransacked his pawnshop. Dorn was black. His killers shot him multiple times.
As “defund the police” gained traction in St. Louis and other cities, and cities all over the country lost hard-won ground to violent crime, Americans purchased firearms in record numbers. They are preparing to have to defend themselves.
It was in this context, and the rising violence and abdication of public safety in St. Louis and many other cities around the country, that a St. Louis couple, Mike and Patricia McCloskey, suddenly found themselves facing a large number of protesters on their property last month. The moment was captured on video that went viral.
The McCloskeys were having dinner when the protesters showed up. The McCloskeys were not the protesters’ target — the city’s mayor was — but the protesters were on private property and had damaged a gate on their way in.
Protests have turned violent in an instant, and there is evidence some of the protesters in this instance may have been armed.
The couple retrieved their rifle and handgun and made sure the protesters were aware that they were armed. There was a brief, intense confrontation that thankfully did not turn deadly.
When they kick in the gate, when the first thing they do is destroy private property and they storm in angry and shouting and threatening. This isn’t a protest. It’s a revolution. It’s just an attempt to inflict terror.
Protesters have once returned to their property, chanting “If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace.”
The city’s circuit attorney, Kimberly Gardner, has had police confiscate the couple’s rifle, leaving them apparently undefended should anyone want to harm them. The McCloskeys believe Gardner will have them indicted as well.
But the state’s Republican governor has weighed in on the McCloskey’s side.
Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parson said during a Tuesday press briefing that Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who were captured on video brandishing firearms as Black Lives Matter protesters marched past their home in June, had “every right” to attempt to protect their private property.
snip
Governor Parsons defended the McCloskey’s actions Tuesday. “That couple had every right to protect their property,” Parson said. “They have the ability to do that as private citizens like everyone else.”
Missouri respects the Castle Doctrine, which provides legal defense should a citizen use a firearm to defend their property.
Passing motorist fatally shot gunman who’d fired at 2 men, killing 1 in Brownsburg
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (WISH) — A gunman launched an unprovoked attack Tuesday afternoon against two men who were working in the Brownsburg Cemetery, and the aggression ended with two of the three men dead, the town police department said late Wednesday night.
A fourth man, a passing motorist, shot and killed the gunman, who was identified as Joshua Hayes, 22, of Indianapolis, according to a news release issued late Wednesday night by Capt. Jennifer Pyatt-Barrett, the investigations division commander of the Brownsburg Police Department.
The other man who died, one of the two working in the cemetery, was identified as Seth Robertson, 36, of Indianapolis.
Officers with the Brownsburg police were called around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday to the area of 56th and North Grant streets after receiving a phone call of multiple shots fired and a man down in the middle of the road, Cpl. Chris Nelson with Brownsburg police said at the scene.
Police arrived to find Hayes and Robertson in the street, one man south of the intersection and the other man west of it. Both were pronounced dead at the scene of apparent gunshot wounds, Nelson said at the scene.
Pyatt-Barrett said in the news release that Hayes drove to the cemetery, approached Robertson and another man who police referred to a “Victim 2.” Hayes then opened fire.
“This led to a foot chase where Robertson and Victim 2 separated to seek safety and cover from Hayes’ gun fire (sic),” the news release said. “Hayes continued his pursuit of Robertson, while firing upon him, until he caught up with him in the intersection of 56th St. and N. Grant St, where he ultimately shot and killed Robertson.”
The release said Hayes then began chasing Victim 2 through a residential neighborhood and back onto 56th Street, where a physical altercation ensued and shots continued to be fired.
Next, Hayes encountered a motorist — referred to in the news release as Victim 3 — who was stopped at a traffic light in the eastbound lane of 56th Street. A gunshot from Hayes struck Victim 3, who witnessed Hayes attempting to shoot Victim 2.
“Victim 3 was armed with a firearm that they are legally licensed to carry and intervened on the behalf of Victim 2 and numerous other civilians in the immediate area that were rendering aid to Victim 1 and/or stopped in traffic,” the news release said. “Victim 3 fired his firearm at Hayes as Hayes was pointing his firearm at Victim 2’s head. Hayes died on the scene.”
Victims 2 and 3 were treated for injuries at the scene and cooperated with police.
The police department does not expect to file any criminal charges, but anyone with information on the case was encouraged to contact Brownsburg police. Pyatt-Barrett’s phone is 317-852-1109, Ext. 2121.
Nelson said Tuesday that, to his knowledge, the homicides were the first in Brownsburg this year.
Bend man stabbed at Seattle-area party shoots, kills attacker
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Two men died at an apartment building in suburban Seattle after a male relative of the host stabbed her and two other people and one of the stabbing victims shot him, police said Sunday.
The 41-year-old stabbing suspect from Burien and a 21-year-old man from Renton, whom he allegedly stabbed, died, after some kind of disturbance between the 41-year-old and the party’s 22-year-old host, police chief Steve Mylett said.
The woman hosting the party at the Elements Apartments, a three-building high-rise complex downtown, was taken to the hospital but released on Saturday while a 24-year-old from Bend, who shot the suspect after being stabbed, was in stable condition Sunday at Harborview Medical Center, police said.
Police were investigating what led up to a disturbance and what the relationship was between the party’s host and the stabbing suspect….
Woman shoots, kills man trying to break into home on Indy’s east side
INDIANAPOLIS — A man was shot and killed late Saturday night on the east side of Indianapolis.
911 operators received a call in reference to a person shot just after 11:40 p.m. in the 3600 block of Linwood Avenue. Investigators say a man was attempting to break into a residence before being shot and killed by a woman who lived inside.
Police were also called to the same home earlier in the day, where a woman was stabbed and taken to the hospital. The woman who shot the man stayed at the scene and is fully cooperating with police.
Investigators are calling this an isolated incident and say the man who was shot and killed knew both women. On Monday, the coroner identified the man as 32-year-old David Ingram.
GUN CONTROL NARRATIVE SHIFTS AS MORE AMERICANS SEE IMPORTANCE OF 2A
The narrative on guns in the U.S. has taken a dramatic shift in 2020 amid a global pandemic and civil unrest that led thousands into the streets in protest.
While the future remains unclear, leaving many Americans wondering what the remaining months of 2020, an election year, have in store, there is one thing that seems rather certain — the argument in favor of gun control just got a little murkier. With the National Shooting Sports Foundation reporting 40 percent of gun purchases coming from new gun owners, this year has seen previously anti-gun supporters jumping the party line to grab a gun of their own.
Second Amendment Foundation founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb told Guns.com that COVID-19, coupled with rioting, led many Americans to reevaluate their stance on the Second Amendment.
Armed victim kills man who was trying to rob him near downtown St. Louis
ST. LOUIS — A man was shot and killed after exchanging gunfire with a person he was trying to rob Sunday night.
The shooting happened at about 9:49 p.m. on the 800 block of Cole Street, near the border of Downtown and the Columbus Square neighborhood.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said a suspect armed with a pistol tried to hold-up a victim who also had a gun. The two exchanged fire and the suspect was shot and killed.
Reston man shoots and kills intruder in apartment complex
Fairfax County police are investigating a fatal shooting Friday night in Reston involving a tenant of an apartment building firing on a suspected intruder.
Officers were called to the 12000 block of Starboard Drive at 11:36 p.m. for a report of a man causing a disturbance in a breezeway area.
A tenant of the building opened his apartment door and encountered the man, later identified as Daniel Matheson, 29, of Reston, standing in his doorway, police said in a news release.
The tenant reported that Matheson began to raise a firearm in his direction. The tenant, who was also armed, fired one round striking Matheson in his upper body, police said.
First responding officers rendered aid to Matheson who was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Preliminarily, detectives do not believe the men knew each other. Police say the investigation is ongoing and detectives are continuing to conduct interviews and process evidence. Investigative findings will be presented to the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney to determine whether charges will be placed.
