Early this morning I checked the news. Apparently, the world is coming to an end. IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!
My wife and I decided to see it for ourselves. So, we went for a walk at Sunset Cliffs. Everything seemed normal to us. Still, it was in the news and on the internet, so it MUST be true!
Determined to see the disaster first hand, we drove to Mission Valley and had a great breakfast at The Waffle Spot. Everything was normal. People were friendly. The food was good. Bummer!
We gave up and went home. 😉
In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
Apparently, the shooter randomly shot nine people before a police officer gave him a much-needed lead injection. According to the news story, the suspect, who survived being shot by police (at least so far) has “a prior conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
Three questions:
1. This joker has a violent criminal history. Why was he in possession of a firearm?
2. Why isn't Tucson Mayor Regina Romero (D) concerned about the answer to Question 1?
3. When will anti-gun politicians stop using tragedies like this to push for more gun control, which she did?
Actually, that last question answers itself.
At Lucille’s Bar & Grill, an armed citizen stopped a man who was allegedly threatening people with a knife. The attacker was shot and killed; no other injuries reported.
What I find most interest is the presence of an off-duty police officer who apparently did nothing. Thank God for the armed citizen.
"Skippy, you're not afraid of the outsider. You're afraid to hope. Giving in to fear is easy. You just accept there's nothing you can do, doom is inevitable, and there's no point in making any effort. If you dare to hope, then you risk your hopes getting crushed."
