Three weeks until Tennesseans can carry without a permit

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – In three weeks, permit less carry goes into effect in Tennessee.

And is it impacting gun sales? The folks at Royal Range in Nashville say they’re not seeing much of an impact on sales due to the Permitless carry law. But, the gun range store says recently they’ve seen a new trend with women.

“So far not a giant impact,” Bob Allen, the Director of Training at Royal Range said. “We’re kind of steady, maybe just a little bit above right now. And really about the same with ammo,” Allen said.

Gun Owner Jarrett Williams said the Permitless carry law will make him buy more guns but not for obvious reasons.

“Yes it will but only because I know there are going to be more people who maybe shouldn’t have guns,” Williams said. ‘I’m going to possibly need something to defend myself against anybody who is less qualified to have a weapon on them,” he added.

Allen at Royal Range said some people are buying up; basically hoarding lots of ammo because they don’t know what the future holds.

“Ammo prices have gone up substantially, but they’ve dropped a bit,” Allen said. “Thousand rounds of 9mm ammo was about $240 before Covid and during Covid it got to $800 and people were still buying it it has since dropped here at our place to $500 for a thousand rounds. And its kind of hard to get nowadays,” he added.

Allen who oversees training at Royal Range says he has seen one major trend; more women buying guns.

‘We’ve seen a lot of; a substantial increase in ladies coming here to buy guns,” Allen said. “We are seeing that increase quite a bit, whether its women self-defense , first time gun owners,” he added.

Allen adds that even though the law takes effect in July, it doesn’t require in- person or online course anymore. Royal Range is putting a course in place to teach people the law when the permitless carry goes into effect.

“We’re all for a person defending themselves. They need to know the law, because if you don’t know the law, you will get in so much trouble. If I pull it out at the wrong time, that’s called aggravated assault which is felony,” Allen said.

He also adds another trend they’ve noticed recently is more people coming to the gun range looking for training.

Off-Duty Texas Deputy Shoots, Kills Man Wielding Knife At Knights Of Columbus Hall

NEEDVILLE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – An off-duty Houston-area deputy shot and killed a knife-wielding man during a private event at a fraternal lodge, sheriff’s officials said Monday, June 7.

Changing Times.. and the Victims of Gun Control

We assume that tomorrow will be much like today. That is how we plan our lives and our politics. If we stop to think about it, we remember that the world surprises us all the time. We ignore that bad things happen because they happen so infrequently. Needing a fire extinguisher seems so unlikely.. until we smell smoke. This week, history reminded us how governments have hurt us. Consider these events and ask if the police were there to protect honest citizens, or would these citizens have been better off if they could defend themselves?

-Almost a hundred years ago to the day, thousands of black citizens in Tulsa, Oklahoma had to depend on the police for protection while they were attacked and their homes, their shops, and their businesses were burned to the ground by white mobs. None of these honest black citizens saw the need for armed defense.. the day before they needed it so desperately.

-Violence happens around the world. It was 32 years ago when over ten thousand unarmed students and teachers were murdered by Chinese politicians and the Chinese military in Tiananmen Square. The bodies were deliberately pulverized by tanks, scooped up by bulldozers, and then dumped to hide the number of protesters who were murdered. China has strict gun control.. for civilians.

armed Korean shopkeepers during the Los Angeles riots

-It was only 29 years ago when Korean shop owners in Los Angeles tried to stop black mobs from looting and burning their homes and businesses. 25 years earlier, the shop owners had been barred under California law from carrying handguns in public. Fortunately, a few of them were armed with rifles. Today, those are the same rifles that California politicians want to ban.

-It was six years ago when several dozen students at a teacher’s college were murdered by local government officials and drug gangs in Mexico. Mexico has strict gun control laws. Honest citizens are disarmed.

-It was only a few months ago when thousands of protestors in Hong Kong were arrested and forced onto trains going to reeducation and slave labor camps. Chinese officials say the citizens of Hong Kong are disarmed for their own protection.

Our memory plays tricks on us. Bad things happen every day, but we assume those surprising events will simply happen to someone else and not to us.  For most of us, our peace is interrupted by only occasional violence. We forget our unusual perspective where peace is the rule.

Our bias makes it easy to believe the politician as he sits in his air-conditioned office and slowly explains that we have no need for armed defense. That same claim is less believable when the official shouts in front of a burning building during a riot.

The police chief sounds so reasonable when he tells us to be a good witness and simply call the police. That same claim is incredible if the cop is in riot gear at a violent protest. As an unwilling participant in a number of recent natural disasters, I can attest that unexpected events can happen to anyone. In practice, the police show up later.. if at all.

We expect governments to talk to us. Sometimes it is easier for politicians and mobs to murder us. This year, we’ve had politicians in the US say we should burn down our cities and start over. Socialist elites have said their political opponents aren’t really people and need to be forcibly re-educated. While shocking and deplorable, this talk is mostly peaceful.. so far. Armed citizens keep the dialogue going because violence against armed citizens is so costly. Armed citizens deter both criminals and immoral politicians who would use violence to achieve their political ends.

I hope for peace: that’s why I am armed. Unfortunately, tens of  millions of honest and hard working citizens in the United States are disarmed by their government. I fear for them, and for the rest of us if they are attacked.

Tomorrow will be pretty much like today and the day before, but not always in the way we expect.

No charges for Papa John’s pizza driver that killed man during attempted robbery in Glynn County

GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. — The Glynn County Police Department held a news conference Monday morning to give an update after a man was shot after reportedly trying to rob a papa John’s pizza delivery driver with a knife.

The incident happened Saturday in the 3100 block of Cypress Mill Road around 11:24 p.m.

According to police, Jeremy Hicks, 34, was killed during the incident.

Glynn County police said they were dispatched to the area at about 11:24 p.m. after being called by the driver. Responding officers reportedly found a man dead with a gunshot wound.

Police say that the driver told officers he shot Hicks in self-defense after he attempted to rob him at knifepoint.

Initially, police say the driver was unable to locate the original location that the pizza was supposed to to be delivered. The driver then made contact with Hicks who instructed him to drive to the area of Cypress Mill Road where the incident then took place.

GCPD says Hicks has an extensive criminal history that includes multiple instances of robbery. Police say he recently served 15 years in prison and was recently released on probation.

Police say this time no criminal charges have been filed against the 25-year-old pizza delivery driver, who was not named during the news conference. He was uninjured during the incident.

Statement from SARPJ, the operator and owner of the Papa John’s Store #767:

We are extremely saddened to hear about this tragic situation involving one of our drivers. We are working in full cooperation with local authorities in their investigation.

Police say the investigation is ongoing as they investigate whether additional individuals were involved.

Ernest Bradham owns the multi-acre property along Cypress Mill Road where the man’s body was found by police.

Bradham says his son saw a pizza delivery car parked in front of a trailer he rents out, and that trailer is currently unoccupied.

“It’s kind of a shock for someone to be right here dead on my property that I didn’t know,” he told First Coast News over the weekend.

No charges to be filed against homeowner who shot, killed alleged intruder in French Quarter

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – A suspected home invader is dead after a shooting in the French Quarter, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

The shooting happened in the 500 block of Dauphine Street around 7 p.m. on June 3.

According to NOPD, the homeowner heard banging on the door of their house and armed themselves with a gun. The victim entered the house and lunged toward the homeowner, according to police. The homeowner then shot the alleged intruder, who died on scene.

Area residents say crimes like this seem to be happening more and more in their neighborhood, especially as the city starts to reopen and more people visit.

“I walked over to Rouses. The street was blocked off and a guy said a guy got shot,” said French Quarter resident Darrick Akey. “So unfortunately it didn’t really shock me that much. I hate that.”

A second French Quarter resident, Dereck “Woody” Terry, calls it unfortunate.

“I mean these things happen but again it’s Thursday night at 6 o’clock with a drizzle and you don’t expect something like that to go down,” said Terry. “We don’t know the real story. Hearing bits and pieces of what happened. But it’s unfortunate regardless.”

Police say no charges will be filed against the homeowner at this time.

Corrections to the FBI’s Reports on Active Shooting Incidents
(opens the PDF in a browser)
John R. Lott

The claim in the original FBI report that active shooting cases have increased over time was a result of data errors, both in terms of how the cases were collected and the missing of many attacks. Some of the cases that the original reports missed involved as many as four to nine people being murdered.

For the period from 2014 to 2019, the FBI had missed additional cases. Once those cases are included there were 25 cases out of 162 (15.4%) where people with permitted concealed handguns stopped the attacks. The FBI reports keep excluding cases where shootings attacks have been stopped by concealed handgun permit holders. To put it differently, while 36% of active shooting attacks have occurred in places where guns are allowed, almost half (42.3%) of those were stopped by people legally carry concealed handguns.

In light of these errors, media, courts, law enforcement, and policymakers, are advised to rely on the updated, corrected data provided in this report.

Domino’s driver shoots at brazen teen robber in Pine Manor

Lee County deputies say 16-year old Hayden Celin tried robbing the Domino’s driver in a failed setup.

The driver tried delivering a pizza to a home in Pine Manor, but the family inside said they never placed an order.

When the driver returned to his car, he noticed his cell phone was missing.

As the driver went to leave, Celin allegedly punched him in the face, and shot a water gun loaded with pepper spray into the man’s face.

That’s when the driver pulled out a gun he carries for self-defense, and shot several rounds at the suspect as he drove off.

Deputies eventually caught up with Celin at the nearby Red Cedar apartment complex.

Celin faces charges for robbery with a weapon and burglary.

The victim was treated for his injuries.

‘uninvited’. What a quaint way to not say ‘burglar’.
And, again, we see that warning shots are a waste of ammo.

Bulloch Co. man shows up to house uninvited, shot in self-defense

BULLOCH CO., Ga. (WTGS) — A Bulloch County man was shot Tuesday after deputies said he showed up to a house uninvited, according to the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said it happened at a house on Mud Road in Brooklet around 5 p.m.

When deputies arrived at the house, they said they found David Martin with a gunshot wound to his lower left leg.

Martin received aid at the scene but was taken by Bulloch County EMS by air evac to a hospital in Savannah for treatment.

Deputies said after Martin walked onto the property, he started screaming at the homeowners. The homeowner told deputies he shot Martin in self-defense because he feared Martin may cause harm to him and his wife.

When Martin is released from the hospital, deputies said he will be charged for acts he committed against the homeowners.

Deputies said Martin attempted to enter the home but was unsuccessful. He was repeatedly asked by the residents to leave and then walked around their house and entered the family’s shed.

The man had told deputies Martin wasn’t making sense and was screaming about “demons and the devil”.

Deputies said the man had fired a warning shot into the ground in an attempt to stop Martin from assaulting him. The warning shot didn’t stop Martin, so the resident shot him in the leg in self-defense.

Both residents told deputies they didn’t know why Martin was on their property.

Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown said residents should call 911 when dealing with uninvited persons, however, if one feels physically threatened, using a firearm in self-defense is legal.

‘Finished As A City’: Atlanta At Risk Of Losing One Of Its Wealthiest Neighborhoods Over Crime Wave

Residents of Atlanta’s Buckhead district are looking at options for breaking away from Georgia’s capital and forming its own city.

A group of residents have gathered to form the Buckhead Exploratory Committee to petition Georgia to allow residents to vote on whether the district will stay a part of Atlanta or split off into its own municipality. The effort has raised over $600,000 so far, according to The Washington Post.

“The mayor and the city council have been making bad decisions, so at what point does anyone with a brain say, ‘Enough?’ ” Buckhead Exploratory Committee chairman Bill White said. “If crime is out of control and you are doing nothing about it, you are finished as a city.”

Buckhead’s angst with Atlanta’s leadership has been building as the city has been rocked by crime following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mass riots spurred on by George Floyd’s death last May. Police morale plummeted last year after an officer was charged in the death of Rayshard Brooks, a black man who resisted arrest and attempted to tase an officer.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms acknowledged that the city was experiencing an unusual dearth of police on the streets in June of last year. Bottoms said that police morale is “down ten-fold.” As The Daily Wire reported:

“I think ours is down ten-fold,” Bottoms told CNN anchor Chris Cuomo in regard to Atlanta PD’s department morale. “This has been a very tough few weeks in Atlanta and with the tragedy of Mr. Brooks, and then on top of that the excessive force charges that were brought against the officers involved with the college students, there’s a lot happening in our city, and the police officers are receiving the brunt of it quite frankly.”

She went on to claim that the Atlanta city government has “a great working relationship with police” and that the issues with morale were temporary.

“In fact, our officers were given a historic pay raise by our administration, and it was so our officers wouldn’t have to work three jobs and be fatigued so that they could afford to live in the city of Atlanta, so they wouldn’t be resentful about policing our streets so that we could have the best to choose from on our force,” Bottoms told Cuomo. “We expect that our officers will keep their commitment to our communities.”

Some in Atlanta are resisting the Buckhead push to separate from the city, saying that other parts of the city are dealing with the same crime problems as Buckhead.

“It makes me angry because the crime they are seeing in Buckhead is the same crime we on the Southside have been dealing with for years,” said Stephanie Flowers, chair of Atlanta Neighborhood Planning Unit V, according to the Post. “We on the Southside, because of our demographics. We can’t pay our way out … This is just a way to separate the haves from the have-nots.”

Gun-wielding dog owner kills armed robber, more updates on Miami’s bloody holiday weekend

Two men walking their French bulldog after a visit to Miami’s Midtown Miami shopping center were confronted in broad daylight by an out-of-town robber with a long rap sheet. All three men, it turns out, were armed.

When the tussle and gunfight stopped Monday evening, the armed robber had been shot 11 times. One of the robbery victims was shot in the shoulder. The third man survived shaken, but unscathed. The manager of the nearby PetSmart agreed to take the French bulldog overnight as police investigated the shooting outside the popular shopping center.

The new details, as provided by law enforcement sources, emerged Tuesday as police across Miami-Dade County grappled with a spate of high-profile shootings over the past week and the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Another shooting on Monday — partially captured on bystander video — happened outside the swank restaurant Prime 112 on South Beach. Two people were injured and police detectives said they were interviewing the famous rapper Da Baby as part of their probe.

And homicide detectives were hunting for the killers involved in two mass shootings over the holiday weekend. Early Sunday morning, two men were killed and a staggering 21 wounded when gunmen outside a Northwest Miami-Dade banquet hall where a local rap label was hosting a concert. On Friday night, seven people were shot, one fatally, outside a rented event space in Wynwood; so far, there is no indication that the two mass shootings are related.

The bloodshed continued Tuesday when a man was found shot to death on the 400 block of Northwest 165th Street. Details of the homicide were not immediately available.

Monday evening’s shooting at Midtown unfolded outside a parking garage on the 3100 block of North Miami Avenue. The two men walking their dog live in the area, and were returning home when they were confronted by Otis Brown, 38, of Leigh Acres, who tried to rob them.

According to a source, Brown and one of the men began grappling. The other man, who was legally armed with a Glock, hid briefly behind a post and heard his friend get shot in the shoulder. He emerged from behind the post and exchanged gunfire with Brown, who was hit 11 times.

The dog ran off, but was later rescued. The robbery victims both had their weapons legally, and are not expected to face charges. Investigators believe they acted in self-defense.

Man In Critical Condition After Woman He Tried To Attack Shot Him

A man is in the hospital in critical condition after a woman he tried to attack shot him, police say.

The incident took place at approximately 2:22 p.m. Miami-Dade Police Department responded to the 163 Street Mall near North Miami Beach after reports of a shooting.

When police arrived, they discovered an adult male with gunshot wounds. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported him to an area hospital in critical condition.

Police says the preliminary investigation revealed that an adult female was in her vehicle when the male approached her and began to bang on her window and attack her. As a result, she shot him.

Simple demographic calculations point out that this would not end the way they might want.
Maybe what works is “Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin‘”

‘Kill Everything White in Sight,’ Speaker Tells Crowd at Tulsa Massacre Rally

The New Black Panthers and 14 other gun clubs marched through Tulsa on Saturday to remember the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre, May 31-June 1, 1921, in what they called a  “Second Amendment March for Reparations.“

Hundreds of people from the pro-2nd amendment gun groups, heavily armed, marched through Tulsa chanting, “black power”, “black lives matter” and “who’s streets, our streets” as they made their way to the Greenwood section of Tulsa, the predominantly black neighborhood known as “Black Wall Street” in 1921.

“The struggle for Reparations must be escalated,” a news release from the event organizers read. “We must fight on every front to achieve redress and Reparations for the atrocities committed upon Tulsa Massacre descendants; and we must intensify the fight to achieve Reparations for all 40-million Blacks still grossly affected by racism, inequality, wealth disparity, police brutality and the like. Tulsa will mark a new beginning in the upgraded fight for Reparations for Black people.”

Kyle Hooten, formerly of the Trump administration tweeted,

“When normal gun rights groups march with rifles they don’t chant “our streets.” This isn’t comparable to a gun rights rally, this is a show of force from a racial supremacist organization that the media is totally ignoring.”

Hooten also tweeted a video of a man clearly calling for a violence against white people for “6,000 years of killing us.”

No google search was able to find the statistics mentioned by the race-baiter. Actually, as per the FBI, even though white people outnumber black people 5-1, black people out murder white people at a rate greater than 2-1.

The “Tulsa Race Massacre” started May 31, 1921 when a black man, 19-year-old Dick Rowland, was arrested on suspicion of raping a white elevator operator, Sarah Page, 17. A white mob showed up at the courthouse and demanded Rowland be turned over to the crowd and lynched. Black supporters showed up to defend Rowland. Both mobs had guns and a riot broke out when a black man shot a white man. The next day roughly 1,500 white people burned 35 square blocks of the predominantly black neighborhood known as “Greenwood.”

Though some people believe as many as 300 black people were killed, a 2001 study stated 36 were killed, 26 of whom were black and 10 of whom were white. Rowland was released and not charged. He left Tulsa and never returned.

Spiritual Suicide or Righteous Self Determination ~ Carry Guns

When the “mainstream media” refer to “mass shootings,” we never get to know what kind of gun(s) was used. They know, but they won’t tell us, unless of course, it’s an M4, Kalashnikov, et al, one of the ones they want confined to use by their political bedfellows, but banned from ownership by us “ordinary citizens.”

In any event, here is a paragraph or two you’ll never hear, nor read:

“Not one of the murdered/injured, bystanders, nor witnesses at this massacre were armed and thereby able to effectively stop this attack. Both company policy and state law prohibit the carrying of concealed weapons by these aforementioned persons. The sad, but predictable, the result of these manufactured ‘gun-free zones’ is, as always, pitiable carnage.

How did that ‘run, hide, fight (without weapons)’ advice work this time?

About as well as it always does?

And of course, where were our vaunted ‘security personnel?’ Hiding, like everyone else?”

Why are these words never, ever spoken at “mass shooting” scenes?

Meanwhile, boot-licking “woke” CEOs, who are just dying to climb in bed with every Democrat politician they can suck up to, and decry our Second Amendment as they dutifully mouth assorted other classic Communist propaganda.

Americans are buying up the entire retail supply of firearms and ammunition, and then some, but most are leaving those firearms at home, deeply fearful of violating a leftist “malum prohibitum,” issued by hand-wringing, woke CEOs (timidly peering-out from between their cadre of heavily-armed bodyguards), and also mandated by sleazy, hypocritical Democrat-heavy state legislatures, and city councils.

Neither wants American citizens doing anything to take care of themselves. They want only victims, lots of victims. They want all Americans to think of themselves only as pathetic victims.

Indeed, they want you to consider perpetual victimhood to be your sacred civic duty.

They love victims, but only as long as they stay victims.

When you don’t want to be a victim, indeed refuse to be a victim, they hate your guts.

Listen to them!

“Self-pity is spiritual suicide.” ~ Anthon St Maarten

Grand jury doesn’t indict homeowner who shot burglar

The Wallace Avenue homeowner who fatally shot a burglar will not be charged in the incident, a Franklin Circuit Court grand jury decided Tuesday.

According to dispatch records, the homeowner called police at 9:35 a.m. on May 11 to report that someone had broken into his residence in the 300 block of Wallace Avenue and was still inside. While talking to the dispatcher, the homeowner reported he fired one shot with a 9-mm pistol that hit the perpetrator, who was later identified as Stephen Smallwood, 35, of Georgetown.

Smallwood was shot in the torso and treated at the scene by Frankfort EMS. He was transported to Frankfort Regional Medical Center, where he was stabilized for transport to the University of Kentucky Medical Center. He died from his injuries at UK around 5 p.m. May 11, which was also his 35th birthday.

On Tuesday, a grand jury returned a no true bill decision after being presented information about the incident from investigators. A no true bill is a legal procedure when the grand jury doesn’t find sufficient evidence to charge the defendant with violating a law.

FPD Assistant Chief Lynn Aubrey told The State Journal that the investigation of the incident is now closed.

Armed school employee stops alleged attempted kidnapping in Ogden

OGDEN, Utah (ABC4) – A 41-year-old man is in custody after allegedly trying to kidnap an 11-year-old girl in Ogden.

Ogden Police were called to a local elementary school Tuesday after an employee was able to stop the attempted kidnapping. Ira Cox-Berry allegedly approached and grabbed the young girl on the playground, pulling her away as if he intended to leave with her.

A nearby school employee confronted Cox-Berry and demanded he leave. When the man momentarily unhanded the student, the employee was able to usher the children into an adjacent classroom. Police say Cox-Berry then approached the building and began punching the window in an apparant attempt to force his way inside. That’s when the employee produced a firearm and held Cox-Berry off while calling 911.

Officers quickly arrived and took Cox-Berry into custody after a brief struggle. According to Ogden Police, the school employee is a Concealed Firearm Permit holder and was lawfully in possession of his gun when the incident occurred.

Investigators says they have not identified a link between Cox-Berry and the young girl.

Crook shot in face with his own gun by wounded victim in Bronx subway robbery gone wrong

A robber shot an unsuspecting victim inside a Bronx subway station but the stick up backfired when the victim fought back, grabbing his assailant’s weapon and shooting him in the face, law enforcement sources said.

The 21-year-old would-be robber pulled his gun on a 40-year-old man in the mezzanine of the B/D station at E. 182nd St. and the Grand Concourse in Fordham Heights, said authorities.

Jeremy Lynch, a neighborhood resident, was inside the station near the token booth when the struggle occurred on the other side of the turnstiles.

“I heard arguing. I took cover,” he said.

As the men fought, the 21-year-old suspect was shot in the face, while the 40-year-old man was shot in the torso, said sources. Lynch said he heard about three shots……….

Both men were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital. The 40-year-old man’s injuries were not deemed life-threatening, said law enforcement sources.

 

Dumb, Disarmed and Diseased
Dumb, Disarmed and Diseased

Have you noticed how the elite is bent on creating the perfect serf? From ensuring we are unarmed to pushing pot – yeah, America needs more of a drug that makes people lazier and less interesting – to hyping the pandemic, everything the ruling caste has been doing lately seems focused on turning us into drones. And far too many people are just letting it happen.

And now the US government will be pimping BLM to foreigners. Great. How could that go wrong? Our nonpartisan government is now fully partisan – weren’t norms important just a few months ago?

Building The Perfect Serf

With a hat-tip to Aaron, whose tweet alerted me to the painfully dumb meme of the commie gov of Pennsylvania, the campaign to change Americans from proud, industrious citizens into submissive, dependent subjects is going full-throttle. The governor, recently rebuked by the citizens who voted away his dictatorial flu powers in a welcome bit of push-back, decried the fact people can buy guns from each other without his permission but can’t have dope without a medical ID card – I guess requiring ID for getting high is as onerous as it is for voting. So, in his optimal universe, people can’t get arms to protect themselves unless he thinks it’s okay and grants them a dispensation to do so, but it should be open season at the dope dispensary. And, of course, they have to be masked while doing it, at least until they wrap their lips around the bong.

Being able to defend yourself: Bad.

Being stoned on a couch watching Scooby-Doo: Good.

Being masked all the time: Better.

Guns allow people to break the monopoly on force held by the government, creating a limit to what the government can do. No wonder liberals hate that. This right gives people the impression that the consent of the governed matters. Bunch of wicked “insurrectionists” they are, daring to think they should possess some sort of ultimate veto power over their betters!

The 40-year-old suspect was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Police said the shooter, 32, was arrested and booked into jail for investigation of first-degree assault. On Tuesday, a spokesman for the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office said charges would not be filed.

“All indications are that the person whose car was prowled acted in self-defense after being advanced on by the other party, who was holding an object to use as a weapon,” the sheriff’s department said.

Carvin Williams, who’s good friends with the man who was shot, said the victim, known as “V,” is battling mental health issues compounded by a drug problem.

“He thought V was breaking into his car, he’s justified to take action, but I don’t know about something like that. I don’t know if it was that serious,” said Williams.

V lives at the Bay Terrace Apartments in the neighborhood.

“He’s been in a very depressed mood for a long time and he’s been trying to get through it. So, we’ve been trying to get him through it too, because we know him,” said Williams.

Witnesses said V had a stick, and didn’t stay down after he was shot.

“That just shows his mental capacity. Anybody with good common sense knows, ‘Hey I just got shot. This stick is no good,’” said neighbor Theo Stewart.

The man shot was initially in critical condition, but as of Monday was listed as stable.
