Castle Doctrine States

 

Castle doctrine refers to self-defense laws that allow individuals to use force, including deadly force, to protect themselves within their own homes or other legally occupied spaces without the obligation to retreat.

California Billy Club Ban Struck Down

Somewhere in my garage is my old PR24 side handle police baton that I carried while on security armed patrol back in the day. I have a California permit for it which is still valid.

However, a crazy California law made it illegal for people to carry or even possess a "billy club" or police baton for self-defense if they don't have a security or police permit.

Until now.

From Yahoo! News:

A court in California has stricken down a state ban on billy clubs on Second Amendment grounds.

The lawsuit was brought by plaintiff Russell Fouts against California Attorney General Rob Bonta over the state law making it a crime to carry or even possess a billy club.

"This case is about a California law that makes it a crime to simply possess or carry a billy. This case is not about whether California can prohibit or restrict the use or possession of a billy for unlawful purposes," the verdict reads.

It continues, "Historically, the short wooden stick that police officers once carried on their beat was known as a billy or billy club. The term remains vague today and may encompass a metal baton, a little league bat, a wooden table leg, or a broken golf club shaft, all of which are weapons that could be used for self-defense but are less lethal than a firearm."

NM Democrats Pass Anti-Gun Bill

A gun forced to have a "safety device" or locked up in a safe is useless if someone should break into one's home and fast action is needed for self-defense. 

The New Mexico legislature passed a bill that forces just that. This is the first anti-Second Amendment bill to pass the New Mexico legislature during this session. Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham indicated she will sign the bill.

It violates one's Second Amendment rights to self-defense. Hopefully, this will be subjected to lawsuits and overthrown.

From Piñon Post:

On Wednesday, the New Mexico House of Representatives concurred with changes to an anti-gun bill that were made in the state Senate, sending H.B. 9 by Rep. Pamelya Herndon (D-Bernalillo) to Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s desk.

The bill would force citizens to lock up their firearms in “a gun safe or a device that prevents a firearm from being discharged or from being used to expel a projectile by the action of an explosion or a device other than a gun safe that locks a firearm and is designed to prevent children and unauthorized users from firing a firearm, which device may be installed on a firearm, be incorporated into the design of the firearm or prevent access to the firearm.”

If the gun owner does not lock up any and all firearms and their gun is somehow used in an offense by a minor causing “great bodily harm” or death, the parent of that child could be made a felon if the victim of the crime is killed or permanently disabled.

The bill included an amendment from the state Senate that created an exception for minors who have the “authorization of the minor’s parent or guardian for lawful hunting, lawful recreational use or any other lawful purpose.” The “lawful purpose” language would likely keep some people out of jail for not following the vague and confusing law.

This bill, if signed by the governor, does not affect me as no minors live in my home and none have visited since I moved to New Mexico. I always have a gun at the ready if needed.

Still, it is a stupid bill. This places people in jeopardy. When seconds count, police are minutes away..

The Truth of the Rittenhouse Case

 

Democrats Want to Abolish the Police and Confiscate Our Guns

The Looney Left Report

As each day passes this year, the Democrats give us more and more reasons why they should never be given the reigns of power.

The Democrat Party is so radicalized that not even John F. Kennedy or Harry Truman would recognize it.

Now, the radical leftists who are in control of the party want to confiscate guns, thereby removing our rights of self-defense and abolish and defund police departments.

Sounds crazy, right? That's what they want to do and Breitbart has it all documented.

They begin with:

A radical, utterly sincere, and determined movement is on to abolish police departments. 

A radical, utterly sincere, and determined movement is on to confiscate our guns, to confiscate our right to defend ourselves. 

This is no accident. 

But first the facts… 

Links to mainstream Democrats calling for the police to be defunded, which will obviously result in the police being abolished, can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and most especially here.

Links to mainstream Democrats like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others calling for — not just gun control — but straight up confiscation, can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. 

Secondly, to those of you who think this idea of abolishing the police and the Second Amendment is insane and can therefore never happen, you need to remove your head from the sand. Here are some more facts… 

• We went from zero to gay marriage in less than ten years.

• We went from zero to drag queen story hour in about ten seconds.

• The left is blacklisting us for referring to biological men as “he.”

• The corporate media are now describing the burning and looting of cities as “political speech.”

• This same media are describing peaceful protests by Tea Partiers and those ravaged by anti-science lockdowns as “dangerous” and “violent.”

• Lego is blacklisting its own toys.

• The NFL just committed suicide.

• Drew Brees is now on his third 1984-ish public confession, a full-blown grovel tour, for the sin of expressing respect for the American flag.

• Legions of white people are kneeling to ask forgiveness for something they had no part of.

• Healthcare “experts” are telling us the coronavirus is lethal if you want to go to work, school, or your grandmother’s funeral, but not so lethal if you are out en masse to support “approved” causes.

The Democrat Party has been completely radicalized, emboldened, and is currently eating itself alive in the kind of cultish moral panic we have not seen since McCarthyism or the McMartin preschool scandal.

Everyone should read this and pass it on.

Mark This Off My Bucket List

Another item is about to be marked off of my "bucket list",

Amber and I signed up today for some self-defense classes (karate). It has been something I've wanted to do for myself (to get exercise and prolong my life) and for Amber (for self-defense and fitness).

I had my first orientation/evaluation class today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was admittedly winded following the warm-up calisthenics, but that faded when we got into some defensive techniques. My instructor, a rather attractive brunette, said I did good, especially with my defense block moves (said I was fast). I told her I did take defense classes when I worked armed patrol.

As we are in an initial two-week course, we were given our schedules and t-shirts (pictured above). Once we sign up (and pay) for the full 12-month course, we will be getting our uniforms and equipment.

Our first class is this coming Tuesday night. I am looking forward to it!
