Pittsburgh Murder Conviction Shows Why Being Afraid Doesn't Make It Self-Defense :: 01/28/2018
When you talk about self-defense shooting, the phrase “I was in fear of my life” gets thrown around a lot. Some will even try and argue that you can use that argument to justify almost any shooting, that as long as you can say you were scared then a jury will let you off the hook.
NY Times Peddles More School Shooting Deception :: 01/27/2018
We’re not even a full month into the new year and already The New York Times is peddling deceptive information to spur action on gun control. On Tuesday, following the unfortunate situation in Benton, Kentucky, in which innocent students were ruthlessly attacked (and two killed) by a fellow pupil, the Times ran with this narrative-infused headline: “School Shooting in Kentucky Was Nation’s 11th of Year. It Was Jan. 23.” Only in the sixth paragraph did it almost unnoticeably get around to printing this disclaimer: “Some of the shootings at schools this year were suicides that injured no one else; some did not result in any injuries at all.” How nice of the Times to let that cat out of the bag — you know, after the agenda-driven drivel was already featured in the headline.

Comedian Embraces Concealed Carry Following Robbery :: 01/26/2018
Being the victim of a violent crime is terrifying. There’s really no other way to describe it. Some people, after the fact, shut down. They’re horrified at the thought of even leaving their home–assuming that’s not where the crime took place–or being alone. It changes how they function and it can create some profound mental health issues.
CPRC: Just 42.9% of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools have an armed guard who "routinely" carries a gun :: 01/26/2018
During the 2015-16 school year, there were 83,600 public elementary and secondary schools. Of those, 35,900 have a sworn law enforcement officer who “routinely” carries a gun. That is only 42.9% of the schools. And not even all this 42.9% had an officer available at their school all the time nor did those officers carry all the time when they were there. In addition, the problem with only one officer is that if you have an officer in uniform, the attackers know that if they kill the officer first, no one else will be there to stop the attack. Those officers have a job that is both extremely boring and extremely difficult. Few will actually ever face one of these attacks, but at the same time if an attack occurs, having an officer in uniform is like having the officer with a neon sign above him saying “shoot me first.”

States Are Still Banning Electric Weapons For Self-Defense :: 01/25/2018

It’s no wonder that these small, effective, and non-lethal means of self-defense have proved so popular. But despite their popularity and effectiveness, five states and a handful of localities continue to ban all electric weapons.

Tens of thousands of New Yorkers have been arrested for possessing knives that are openly sold in city stores :: 01/24/2018
Knives are bringing together the unlikeliest of allies in New York as the constitutionality of a nearly 70-year-old statute is being challenged in federal court. Over the past decade, "tens of thousands" of people have been arrested for possessing illegal "gravity knives" — blades that can be flicked open with the skilled snap of a wrist, In Justice Today reports. Arizona-based knife advocacy group Knife Rights, which is representing three plaintiffs in the case, claims that the law is unconstitutional because there is no firm test to define what is or is not a gravity knife.
