It's good that you are still guessing at the city, like you are in denial this just couldn't happen in any other NE city. I don't know what the possibilities are. Stranger things have happened. But he's my brother and it's not my chance to take. I don't know why you are trying so hard to create...

I thought this was obvious, but I'm not revealing the name of the city because my brother has to live there, both with the bad guys and the cops. So you guess all you want, but you won't get any confirmation from me.

FYI, Grant has a new book out called, "Protect Yourself With Your Snub Nosed Revolver," available on Amazon and Apple iBooks.

Good thinking, but I have some thoughts about that. First, it's not like the cops don't know who these folks are. If they were selling on street corners, they could get surveillance photos of them. That alone doesn't get them actionable cases. Second, the cops would either need the consent of...

I posted this here, because I see it as being about situational awareness. I'm still scratching my head over something I learned yesterday that just amazed me in the sense I would have never thought of it. This paragraph is just the setup to the story: My brother owns a bar and restaurant in...

Well, that's a logical, Mr. Spock kind of analysis, with one problem: I didn't say that's what he said. I stated that's what I thought he was implying. It's one thing to read. It's another to read between the lines. If that is my take on his statement, it logically cannot be wrong, because it is...

It is one of my favorite gun books. There is a lot of good stuff in there even for auto shooters.

Not sure how your can argue that. I think "unlawfully enters, remains after unlawfully entering, or attempts to unlawfully enter private property that is owned or leased by an individual..." is the very definition of trespass. Also if you are correct about "the burden of proof on the state is to...

So my read of that is you are implying that because I don't carry a full size hi-cap I'm on the same level of unpreparedness as someone who does not EDC at all, does not know how to use a gun, has poor SA and does not have significant H2H training. I don't see how you can support that opinion.

Noted in bold: "2. A person shall not use deadly force upon another person under the circumstances specified in subsection 1 of this section unless: (1) He or she reasonably believes that such deadly force is necessary to protect himself, or herself or her unborn child, or another against...

I am glad he got acquitted, but I think he was in the wrong. MO is pretty supportive of self-defense. I think in a lot of other states, things would have gone differently. It does not seem was not in danger of "the use or imminent use of unlawful force," which is the MO standard. Although the MO...

Ok, so you carry for where you live and what your experience has been and I carry for where I live and what my experience has been. I have been shooting handguns for over 50 years, shot competitively and I have been carrying regularly for 10 years. I didn't get to age 64 without a scratch by not...

BergerFan222: You're perspective is your choice and I support that...for you. It is an attempt to coming closer to eliminating risk from situations involving lethal force by taking what is documented as being what has actually happened the overwhelming majority of cases and applying the...

I have worked in the safety industry and I see carrying as risk management. In the case of self-defense, risk prevention is not achievable. I could liken it to fire extinguishers. I have them (as well as fire detectors) throughout my house, but they are for putting out small fires, not a full...
