“…a treaty that extends the right to bear arms as a human right for every person on the planet.”

Of course every person on the planet already HAS a right to bear arms. It’s just that most governments deny that right. Newt should know better.

Also, how about we start here in the US? Some parts aren’t up to speed quite yet.

No thanks.

I only plan on defending me and mine.

You’re on your own, sheep.

I will not kill somebody over my property, but somebody willing to threaten me FOR my property is willing to kill me no matter what I do. I WILL kill over that. –Weerd Beard

I like his thinking, but I differ on one thing, and it’s a philosophical argument which winds up in the same place.

When someone steals my stuff, they’re stealing a piece of my life. The piece that I spent working so that I could earn the money to buy that thing and the piece I’ll have to spend to replace it.

So yeah, I’ll shoot someone over my property.

Because it’s MY life.

Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry.

“We believe … a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,” David said. “We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.”

David said a person arrested following an unlawful entry by police still can be released on bail and has plenty of opportunities to protest the illegal entry through the court system.

Spoken like a true lawyer. Tar and feathers time.

There are a some of great lessons here.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere, so pay attention. When that little voice tells you something is off, pay attention.

Don’t rely on someone saving you. You’re on your own out there. Someone MIGHT help or they might just decide not to get involved. Any plan that relies on other people doing the right thing isn’t a good plan.

Refuse to be the victim. Criminals expect certain behavior from their victims. Don’t comply, ever.

Fortunately Laura didn’t leave her most important weapon behind this morning and she’s not a police report.

Good job!

If you only have one leg how the hell are you supposed to run away? If you’re wheelchair bound how are you supposed to duke it out with someone ablebodied? Anti-gunners don’t care.

Read the whole thing.

Cops say legally justified.

If I couldn’t live in Texas, I guess Arizona would be almost as good.

Irish homeowners can now legally use guns to defend themselves if their homes are attacked under new legislation.

The new home defense bill has moved the balance of rights back to the house owner if his home is broken into “where it should always have been”, say top Irish police.

The police association of superintendents and inspectors, the AGSI, stated that “the current situation, which legally demands a house owner retreat from an intruder, was intolerable”.

I’m thinking they only did it because in the UK it’s illegal to defend yourself and they had to be different from the fecking British.

Whatever the reason, good for them.

If these had been real FBI agents what would have happened to the homeowner defending himself?

That’s a hell of a choice to have to make in the middle of the night. If they’re real cops, and you defend yourself you will go to jail if you live. If they’re not cops and you don’t defend yourself then you’ll probably be killed.

Of course if real cops didn’t do night raids then it wouldn’t be an issue, would it?
