Texas Anti-Gunners File Many Bills
At least 16 gun control bills have already been filed for the upcoming Texas Legislative Session beginning in January, setting the stage for a contentious battle over the gun rights of private citizens.
One of the bills is HB 196, filed by Irving State Representative Terry Meza. Her bill would remove a homeowner’s legal right under the Castle Doctrine to use a firearm in the defense of their homestead against an intruder. Meza believes homeowners are too quick to pull the trigger during a home invasion, and HB 196 would essentially gut that provision from the Castle Doctrine.
“I’m not condoning stealing, it is against the law, “Meza says, “but it’s not an offense that is punishable by death.”
Meza claims she’s already become the target of intense scrutiny online.
“People are already attacking me on Facebook saying I’m against the 2nd Amendment,” she says.
Meza says a homeowner would still be able to defend their life, but using a gun would be illegal, thus placing the homeowner in legal jeopardy.
Critics point to what is often a slow response time from police, and argue that there’s very little time to determine whether a person who has broken into a home is there simply to steal, or to commit acts of violence.
Other gun control bills awaiting the next session include:
The vast majority of those gun control bills are not expected to pass muster when state lawmakers reconvene.
Van Buren homeowner shoots suspected burglar found hiding inside closet
VAN BUREN, Ark. —
A Van Buren homeowner told 40/29 News, he shot a man he found hiding inside his closet after the man became agitated.
“He opened the door to the closet and he actually saw this person looking at him in the closet,” Van Buren Police Sgt. Jonathan Wear said. “He confronted the man that was in his home. That man became combative and at that point he ended up having to fire shots at him.”
Wear said the suspected burglar was shot in the leg and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. When released, the man will most likely be facing burglary charges, “He actually had the homeowner’s wallet and pair of his shorts, so we think he was actually in the house trying to steal things from the homeowner.”
According to police, the shooting happened inside a home on Blueberry Hill Street in the city, around 10 a.m. on Thursday.
Coroner identifies man killed during burglary in Harrison Township
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ohio (WDTN) – The Montgomery County Coroner has identified the man who died as 22-year-old Nader Adam, of Harrison Township.
Montgomery County Sheriff Deputies were called to an apartment in the 3300 block of Susannah Ave. after receiving reports of a burglary in progress. When crews arrived, they found the suspect forced their way in through the back door of the apartment after breaking several windows.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office told 2 NEWS the resident shot the suspect who died at the scene. The incident is being investigated by the Special Investigations Unit of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

The Importance of Practicing Unconventional Shooting Positions.
While it is true that being able to draw quickly and hit the target quickly and accurately may solve a lot of problems regarding criminal attacks, it doesn’t solve all of them. Criminals are not entirely stupid and they are going to take every advantage that they can. Chances are good that the experienced crook is not going to give you time to take a solid shooting stance and address the target like they taught at that defensive school. Here are three unconventional defensive techniques that would be worth knowing and practicing.
Shooting with One Hand
There may be a lot of reasons that a person can’t get two hands on his defensive handgun. The support hand, or arm, might be injured at the very outbreak of hostilities. A person might be carrying something, or he might be holding onto something to keep from falling. The support hand and arm also might be busy warding off an attack from an accomplice. It is not enough to just say that, in these situations, one would run his gun with one hand. It has to be practiced. Shots that would be simple with a two-hand hold are not nearly so simple when only one hand is used.
Shooting from the Seated Position
When a person takes stock of how his waking hours are spent, he is often amazed at how much of that time is spent sitting. The fact is that a lot of our time is spent at a desk, in the car, or in that favorite easy chair at home. And, yet, very few take the time to practice from a sitting position. We may find that our body is holding our handgun against the chair. We may also find, in the car, that clearing the seat belt and our covering garment takes way too much time. Practicing from a sitting position helps the shooter identify problems and gives him time to come up with a better way to respond.
Drawing with Your Support Hand
Finally, we may practice shooting with our support hand, but how many of us practice drawing with the support hand? Just as in the first example, the strong hand may be engaged or taken out of play for a variety of reasons. Can you reach across the front of your body, or behind your body, to get a grip on the pistol? Do the retention devices on your holster allow you to access the handgun with the support hand? Hint: A gun carried in front of your body, somewhere between the two hip bones, might be much more accessible with either hand.
These exercises, and others, are not often taught in defensive schools simply because it is hard to do on a line with other students and avoiding someone covering another with a gun muzzle. It would certainly be a good idea to practice them at home during dry practice with an unloaded gun. And there may be no one single solution to these problems due to the fact that body shapes and agility can be quite different. It is important for the defensive shooter to find a technique that works for him and then to practice it until it becomes a habit.
Working to solve these and other problems can give the defensive shooter a whole new outlook on the type of gun that he carries, the type of holster that he uses, and where he wears that combination.
Biden Wants to Prevent Armed Teachers From Protecting Themselves and Their Students
Preventing teachers from carrying firearms is just one of Joe Biden’s gun control goals. See his other priorities for rolling back Second Amendment rights here.
The idea of arming teachers to prevent school shootings burst into the national conversation after Parkland, when President Trump raised the possibility in listening sessions with grieving parents. Shortly after the 2018 shooting at the Florida high school, he told attendees at the 2018 CPAC that as many as one out of every five teachers should be carrying a gun.
It provoked an uproar. But often lost in the bluster of that moment was the reality that teachers had already been carrying guns in U.S. schools for over 10 years. Trump had just become the policy’s highest-profile advocate yet. The first serious proposals to arm teachers cropped up after the Columbine shooting in 1999, and the first school district to announce such a policy was in Harrod, Texas, in 2008, after Virginia Tech.
The decision to let schools arm teachers is left to state governments. Since the 1990s, 19 states have passed laws and created programs to arm some teachers and other school staff, like principals or superintendents. In 24 states, school boards have the discretion to authorize anyone of their choosing to carry a gun on campus. A 2019 investigation by VICE News found that in the year after Parkland, the number of school districts arming their teachers more than doubled, from around 215 school districts to nearly 500, encompassing hundreds of thousands of students.
President-electJoe Biden has said he strongly opposes arming teachers, but because it’s up to state legislatures—which stayed resoundingly Republican this election, including in armed-teacher states like Florida, Texas, Ohio, Missouri, and Utah—it’s a policy that may be here to stay.

Armed Man Shot By Off-Duty NYPD Officer During Alleged Carjacking Attempt
An off-duty NYPD officer shot an armed and reportedly drunk man in the chest during an attempted carjacking in Brooklyn on Wednesday, police said.
The 28-year-old assailant approached the off-duty cop at around 2 a.m. in Canarsie, knocking on his window before firing a shot that “barely missed” the officer, according to Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison.
“Our member of the service then pulled out his firearm, shooting several times at our perpetrator, striking him in the chest,” Harrison told reporters……
The unidentified suspect was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. The officer was not shot, but taken to a different hospital to be evaluated for tinnitus.
Gun trade groups say more women are becoming licensed firearms owners
Some call it firearm feminism. According to gun trade groups, more women are buying guns than ever before.
One recent survey indicates self-protection is the main reason, but first-time female gun buyers are also citing fear of civil unrest, election uncertainty and the coronavirus as influencing their decision to buy firearms.
Business owner Angela Geotz says she wants to be legally armed if trouble comes her way.
“I just want to be able to protect myself if I have to, my family,” Geotz said.
Geotz is not alone. Jessica Howard is a first-time gun owner.
“There is a lot of crazy stuff going on and I’m a single mother,” Howard said.
Firearm sales to women are up 40% from 2019, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The trade group surveyed gun retailers. The survey finds personal protection is the primary reason and semi-automatic pistols are the most popular.
First-time gun owner Vickie Hayes bought a semi-automatic pistol after someone broke into her home.
“It kind of scared me a little bit, so I thought a good way to protect myself would be to get a handgun license. So, I did and I purchased a gun,” Hayes said.
The firearms industry noticed the surge beginning in March with the coronavirus outbreak.
Since then, concern over civil unrest is the biggest reason for the surge, that’s according to a poll conducted by national firearms group A Girl & A Gun:
Militias challenge gun laws in Virginia: “It’s about shooting tyrants in the face”
On a cold winter morning last February, a woman named Samantha assembled her AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in the parking area next to Timbrook Public Library in Campbell County, Virginia. Her husband, Chad, had his AR-15 in hand and commented, “I would trust going into a gun fight right next to my wife. I’ve seen her shoot.”
Samantha was one of a handful of women attending the call for volunteers to join a group calling itself the Campbell County Militia. Along with Chad and Samantha (who asked to have their last name withheld), over 200 people were at the event, most of them carrying arms.
Kurt Feigel, a gun rights activist and militia organizer, told the group, “We are here today to send a clear and collective message to any would-be-tyrants that would attempt to disarm us: We will not comply.”
The formation of the Campbell County Militia is part of a larger movement organized by gun rights activists pushing back against gun laws Virginia enacted in 2020. They claim the new regulations, which include a “red flag” law and universal background checks for gun purchases, infringe on their Second Amendment right to bear arms. Virginia lawmakers shelved more controversial proposals that would have banned semi-automatic guns and high capacity magazines. Still, gun rights activists are bracing for a possible future ban.
“We won’t comply. We won’t give up our guns,” said Feigel.
Virginia became a battleground for the gun policy debate after Democrats swept both houses of the state legislature in 2019 on a gun safety platform, consolidating Democratic control of the state government.
Gun policy has long been a divisive issue in the United States. Even as support grows for stricter gun laws, the country remains deeply divided along partisan lines. A 2019 Pew Research Center survey found 60% of Americans think gun laws should be more strict, up from 52% two years earlier. But the same survey also found 80% of Republicans think it’s more important to protect gun rights than to control gun ownership, while just 21% of Democrats agree.
In Virginia, gun rights supporters pushed back against the Democratic legislative majority. Over 90 counties and municipalities in the state passed Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions opposing the enforcement of certain gun laws. And there were calls to form local militias to give their movement some “teeth.”
“If we have the numbers, we can back up the statement — we will not be disarmed,” said Feigel. “[The Second Amendment] is not about hunting. It’s not about self-defense. It’s about shooting tyrants in the face.” Continue reading “”
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has reportedly drafted “anti-mob” legislation that would expand the state’s Stand Your Ground law to allow armed citizens defend themselves against violent rioters and looters.
Written after violent rioters caused billions of dollars of damage to America’s cities over the summer, the proposal would expand the list of under Florida’s self-defense law to justify the use of force against rioters who engage in looting or arson that “results in the interruption or impairment of a business operation.”
“The draft legislation put specifics behind DeSantis’ pledge in September to crack down on ‘violent and disorderly assemblies,’” the Tampa Bay Times reported. “Other key elements of DeSantis’ proposal would enhance criminal penalties for people involved in ‘violent or disorderly assemblies,’ make it a third-degree felony to block traffic during a protest, offer immunity to drivers who claim to have unintentionally killed or injured protesters who block traffic, and withhold state funds from local governments that cut law enforcement budgets.” Continue reading “”

Man shoots juvenile breaking into his NC home
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A Winston-Salem man shot a juvenile on Sunday during a burglary attempt in his home, and a second suspect fled the scene, according to a Winston-Salem Police Department news release.
Around 12:15 a.m., officers responded when they were told about a gun being fired in the 1500 block of Gaston Street.
When they arrived, they found a juvenile lying in the parking lot suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Medical Services personnel responded and took the juvenile to a local hospital for treatment. The juvenile’s condition is currently listed as critical but stable.
Brandon Keith Evans, 24, Winston-Salem, identified himself to officers on scene as the one who shot the juvenile.
Preliminary investigation reveals that Evans was away from his home when he got a call from his roommate, telling him that someone was trying to break into his home.
Evans went back to his home and confronted the juvenile, along with a second suspect, inside.
Weapons were displayed by the suspects, and Evans shot the juvenile who was found on scene, police say.
Warehouse owner shoots and kills possible trespasser
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A man is dead after a business owner claims he was trespassing at a southwest Houston warehouse.
Houston police officers found the man dead just after midnight at the warehouse on South Post Oak near Heatherbrook.
Investigators say the business owner confronted the man, and at some point opened fire.
It is unclear if the suspect was trespassing or possibly attempting to burglarize the location.
“At this point, we don’t know the motive. It’s too early in the investigation. We don’t know if it’s a robbery or a burglary at the location,” Detective Jason Escobar said. “There’s a lot of tools, a lot of vehicles. It’s a pretty packed warehouse, so it’s unclear what kind of business [it is], whether it’s a resale shop or a mechanic location. [It is] unknown at this point.”
Gun Control and Racism: The Laws and Taxes Meant to Limit Minority Gun Ownership in America
“There’s a direct correlation between gun control and black people control.” – Stacy Swimp, President of the Frederick Douglass Society
Every schoolchild knows that the Declaration of Independence declares that the basic equality of man is “self-evident.” The United States Constitution enumerates what the inalienable rights only alluded to by the Declaration. An inalienable right is one that exists regardless of whether or not it is recognized by the state. For example, you have a right to free speech regardless of whether or not the Constitution recognizes it. Thus any restrictions on free speech are curbs of this pre-existing right, not an actual elimination of that right. One of them is the right to keep and bear arms. Another is the right to a speedy and public trial.
However, particularly with the Second Amendment, there’s long been a struggle between the ideals of America and the reality on the ground with regard to race. What’s more, minorities in the United States are disproportionately the victims of violent crime. Both of these things together make it crucial to understand self defense and the Second Amendment from the perspective of race in America.
Part of the problem is that, unlike European nations which grew organically, America is an invention of a handful of Englishmen. They founded the nation on a set of ideas and there has always been a tension between those ideas and the reality. This is, in some sense, unavoidable: reality will always have trouble living up to an ideal. A failure to live up to that ideal in the past according to terms established today doesn’t make the entire project – or any specific part of it – worthless or suspect.
Before we get into the meat of the matter, we should note that the American ideal has expanded the Second Amendment (and the rest of the Constitution for that matter) to de jure include all Americans. One can be skeptical of the notion of “progress” while seeing the moves to repeal race-based restrictions on firearms ownership as big steps in the right direction.
Finally, it is worth noting – and we will do so at length later – that none of the racially-motivated laws on the books in America are uniquely American. Racism, in the sense employed by the average person not the expanded version used by left-wing ideologues, was not a uniquely American institution, but the norm throughout human history.

Burglar arrested after confrontation with armed homeowner
WEST VALLEY CITY — A suspected burglar was arrested by police after a neighbor who came outside to investigation the commotion confronted him with a shotgun.
The investigation began about 11:40 p.m. Thursday when police were called to the area of 3200 South and 3600 West. Officers arrived to find Laulej Erakrik, 39, lying in the street with blood coming from his face and a knife on the ground next to him, according to a police affidavit.
Another man who lives in the area told police that he had heard yelling outside and windows breaking, and “due to previous burglaries in the area, he walked outside with his shotgun” to find out what was happening.
The man said he found Erakrik, who charged at him with a knife, the affidavit states.
“(The man) stated he believed (Erakrik) was going to stab him. (He) explained, in order to protect himself, he struck (Erakrik) with his shotgun a couple times,” according to the affidavit.
The man told police that his shotgun was not loaded, which is why he hit Erakrik with the barrel of the gun.
As police continued to investigate, they said they determined that Erakrik had broken into a nearby apartment by shattering a window.
“I was advised that (Erakrik) was yelling and screaming for the victims to open up the door. Both victims advised me once (he) entered through the window, they both fled from the residence to get to a safe location. The victim advised me that he felt his life was in danger,” according to the affidavit.
Another neighbor recorded what was happening on his cellphone.
“In the video you hear what sounds like glass shattering. The individual then makes a statement asking if people want to die,” the affidavit states. “I strongly believe had the victims not taken quick action, (Erakrik) would have caused serious injury or death to the victims.”
Erakrik, of West Valley City, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on Friday for investigation of aggravated assault and burglary.
The 17-year-old suspected burglar was found nearby after being struck.
The homeowner reported a burglary at his home for the second time in two weeks.
“We’re obviously talking with the homeowner to figure out why he might be getting targeted so much, and then there’s a lot to the story that we still don’t know,” said Tony Botti with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators say a Ring camera installed by the front door was working early Wednesday morning and captured video of the attempted burglary. The camera also alerted the homeowner, who deputies say, grabbed a handgun and ran outside. By that time detectives were told, the suspect had jumped a fence and was running.
At some point, the homeowner confronted the attempted burglar, and several shots were fired.
“The homeowner gave us some pretty good details- but we want to know a little bit more as to what caused him to fire at the suspect,” said Botti.
When deputies arrived, they tracked the teen down about half a block away. He was shot several times but is expected to recover.
Right now, there’s no evidence leading investigators to believe the suspect had a weapon.
Deputies say during the prior break-in last Thursday, a person actually made it inside the house before being confronted and running away.
Investigators are now trying to figure out if the suspect is the same in both instances.
“We’re looking into that. We do have video evidence from this morning. We’re trying to see if we can get a better description of the person who broke in last week,” said Botti.
Several adults who live in the home will also be questioned as part of the investigation.
The 17-year-old suspect who was shot was taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was later booked into juvenile hall on one felony count of attempted burglary.
The district attorney’s office will have to decide on that charge.
How would LR-130 change local government’s authority to regulate permitted concealed weapons?
The Montana Code Annotated (MCA) Section 7-1-111 provides that local governments have the power to regulate the carrying of permitted concealed weapons. LR-130 would remove local governments’ power to regulate the carrying of permitted concealed weapons. The ballot measure would continue to allow local governments to regulate unpermitted concealed weapons and unconcealed weapons in public occupied buildings
Montana Votes For Self-Defense by Approving LR-130
Today, November 5th, LR-130 passed to ensure that your free exercise of the right to self-defense is protected equally across the whole state. For too long, local anti-gun bureaucrats have refused to recognize your freedom by instituting concealed carry restrictions beyond state law. Time and again, they usurp your rights in their quest to diminish your freedoms. LR-130 was put to the voters to end these constant obstructions.
The opposition, with backing from out-of-state interests, launched a campaign of misinformation. Montanans saw through their rhetoric and rightfully sided in favor of the Second Amendment when they went to the polls.
Congratulations to all the Montanan voters who want consistency in their gun laws whether they are in Billings, Kalispell, Missoula, or anywhere else.
Alabama voters approve gun proposal for Franklin County
Alabama voters have approved a constitutional amendment that provides specific protection to anyone who kills someone in self-defense in a church in Franklin County. The attorney general’s office has said Alabama’s “stand your ground” law already applies inside churches. But backers supported Amendment 5, saying more specific provisions for churches in the northwest part of the state.
Suspected burglar shot by resident in south Columbus
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Police are investigating a shooting that left an alleged burglar injured.

Why people are buying guns at a record pace in Pennsylvania in the run-up to Election Day
Charlotte Heller, a 71-year-old grandmother from Lower Macungie Township, was never a fan of guns.
Then came 2020.
This September, Heller and her 73-year-old husband Ira joined scores of other Pennsylvanians in becoming first-time gun owners during a year expected to break gun purchase records across the country.
“Let me tell you, I’ve never liked guns. I was always kind of afraid of guns,” Charlotte Heller said. “I felt like we didn’t need them.”
But 2020, of course, is a year like no other ― fueling gun sales with a combination of factors, experts say. Start with the coronavirus pandemic and shortage of basic supplies, then add a wave of protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota and the resulting property damage and violence, and cap it with one of most divisive presidential elections in modern history, and you’ve got a perfect storm for one of the most basic human emotions.

Off-duty police officer shoots armed robbery suspect at Dearborn Heights 7-Eleven
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (FOX 2) – An off-duty Detroit police officer shot and wounded an armed robber inside a 7-Eleven on Cherry Hill Friday.
Just before 4 p.m., a male suspect entered the store near Inkster for an armed robbery in Dearborn Heights. The off-duty police officer had words with him, before an exchange of shots, Michigan State Police say.
The officer was not injured, but the suspect was wounded. He was transported to a nearby hospital and is in critical condition.
Police say clerk’s husband stopped robbery with gunshots
Update: Dequan Lamar Rushing was arrested Wednesday and jailed in the Washington County Detention Center under $151,000 bond awaiting a Sessions Court appearance set for Thursday.
A Georgia man was arrested Tuesday on robbery, assault and kidnapping charges after being shot by a store clerk’s husband during a hold-up, according to Johnson City police.
The shooting, which police described as self-defense, happened at Scotchman, 1101 E. Unaka Ave., around 10:15 p.m.
Before the Scotchman incident, police responded to Tri City Wholesale Tobacco, 2518 S. Roan St., on a report of an attempted armed robbery. In that incident, police said a man demanded money from the clerk, but he left with nothing. Police said that at some point in the robbery the man fired a pistol inside the store. No one was injured in that incident.
Police had a description of the would-be robber and were looking for him.
Around 10:15, officers were dispatched to a report of a robbery at the Scotchman.
In that incident, the clerk complied with the man’s demands while being threatened with a firearm and controlled by the man, police said.
The clerk’s husband, who has a valid handgun carry permit, intervened and shot the man two times in self-defense after the man pointed the weapon at him. Witnesses gave the police a description of the man, which matched the alleged robber from the first attempt.
A police K9 located Rushing nearby with two gunshot wounds. He refused officers’ commands to surrender, so the K9 was sent in to apprehend him.
Rushing was taken into custody and transported to an area medical facility, where he remained in serious but stable condition on Wednesday.
