Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Good Guy With a Gun Turns an Active Shooter Into a Decidedly Inactive OneAnother good guy with a gun stepped in to save lives on Friday, this time in Las Vegas. An active shooter entered Turnberry Towers, firing off shots toward the front desk. That's when he was confronted with something he likely wasn't expecting: An armed employee. The employee, who has not been identified, drew on the would-be mass murderer, causing him to flee by shooting out the inner glass. Before reaching the outer door to escape into the street and possibly shoot other people, though, the active shooter is taken down hard.Caution: Video shows this active shooter getting plugged.

Or the police are weighing charges against the citizen. They will say that when the shooter turned his back and attempted to leave, he was no longer a threat, and at that point, the citizen became a criminal.
So we expect random normal people to know the exact details of the law in its minutiae, and to follow them while out of the blue almost being murdered by a random thug. Its insane. And if you ever get sat on a jury in such a case think in that mind set - imagine someone walks into that very jury room to kill you, personally. What is a reasonable response?

Nature is healing - a well-known Portland Antifaette is still facing felony assault and felony riot charges from a couple of years ago, basically for macing an unarmed woman in a sundress before being cold-cocked two seconds later by a Proud Boy. All this was caught on video (taken by another Antifaette, amusingly).
Worse, she did this in a suburban county, so Portland's Soros DA can't drop the charges, and she faces trial in September. Turns out life is tough for someone facing prosecution for two violent felonies: n an already impossible housing market, landlords are now turning away potential residents for having PENDING criminal chargers?? i hate it here so much. She's also reduced to begging for money to cover her legal expenses, and not doing very well at that. Weird - in 2020, people like this had all their living and legal expenses covered by mysterious organizations, but that is no longer true.

They will say that when the shooter turned his back and attempted to leave, he was no longer a threat, and at that point, the citizen became a criminal.
This is bullshit. All of this happened within seconds. Further, if someone simply turns his back and moves, this is not proof that he is "no threat." He may just be seeking cover before he turns and fires again. He did not drop his gun. He remained a threat to the life of the citizen, and anyone else for blocks around. I hate this stupid prosecutor's idea so much, that a man with his back to you is not a threat. Further, prosecutors love to stretch the idea of a perp's "back" by defining the "back" as the 180 degrees from the middle of your side all the way over to the same point on the other side. So if a perp is shot in the rear half of their side while running sideways and shooting, they were shot in the "back." If you watch videos of active gunfights on youtube, especially ones with young gang looking guys shooting, they'll often hop around with their side exposed to the other shooter, arm stretched out toward the other shooter. They almost never take an actual shooter's stance, square to the target. Posted by: bonhomme at June 28, 2023 02:30 PM (eyxn4) 67
One curious thing. It is impossible to say for certain, because of camera angle, but it *appears* that the shot through the first door (if it was a shot) dissipated all of the energy in the slug, as there appeared to be no impact on the secondary doors.

Sec. 9.33. DEFENSE OF THIRD PERSON. A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect a third person if:
(1) under the circumstances as the actor reasonably believes them to be, the actor would be justified under Section 9.31 or 9.32 in using force or deadly force to protect himself against the unlawful force or unlawful deadly force he reasonably believes to be threatening the third person he seeks to protect; and (2) the actor reasonably believes that his intervention is immediately necessary to protect the third person. Of course the bad guy tried to leave after he got shot. 🙄 Secondly there are circumstances where you can shoot someone in the back as they are leaving the scene in Texas.

> Check out the one were 2 cops go to the wrong house, knock on the door in the middle of the night. Occupant comes to the door with a pistol and a flashlight. The cops shout "GUN!" and they light him up in no time, despite being at the wrong address. Occupant dies.
That one was awful, but the homeowner was an idiot. If you get a knock in the middle of the night and you don't know who's there, don't freaking walk out the front door with a gun. Whether it's a bad guy, a good guy, or someone in between, it's bad tactics. There's a reason police call doorways vertical coffins. It's a choke point. If a bad guy is outside and they intend you great harm, they know exactly where you're going to be and you don't know shit. They have the drop on you. They can back up into the shadows and light you up before you can even identify the threat. Much better to not answer and post up somewhere inside with a gun and wait. If they break in, stop the threat. Posted by: bonhomme at June 28, 2023 02:49 PM (eyxn4) 194

Self Defense law varies a bit from state to state but the overall theory is what would a reasonable man do---thus, your response to a criminal event must be both reasonable and proportional to the incident. It must also end when the 'attack' does because if the person is no longer 'attacking' then you have no independent grounds to pursue if they are no longer a threat.
To judge your actions to determine whether you did a reasonable response to the situation, the jury does that and ideally they use the totality of circumstances including the human lag in response time to determine the correct result. Expect to have to testify in court if you are ever charged in self defense as what you know, how you thought, etc. are all considerations for the jury to determine whether you acted reasonably.

It's better than that - the Ukrainian constitution says that you don't have elections if martial law is in effect. Keep martial law in effect indefinitely - no elections ever.
Apologists of Ukraine are saying that Great Britain had no elections during World War Two. That was bit different - a government of national unity was formed at the beginning of the war, and Labour Party members (the opposition party) held senior cabinet positions in the unity government. Churchill didn't ban the second biggest political party at the beginning of the war like Zelensky did. Also, the national unity government lasted only so long as the parties in the unity government agreed to do so. After V-E Day, Churchill wanted to keep the unity government in place until Japan was beaten. The Labour Party said: "Nope - we're done, time for new elections", which the Labour Party won. Churchill didn't have the unilateral power to keep the unity government going. Posted by: The Population of Moscow! at June 28, 2023 02:59 PM (2tUFv) 253

I agree, but there is a lot of discussion about whether to carry certain pistols with one in the chamber. Certain carriers of said certain pistols have a number of, shall we say, unscheduled discharges. Posted by: gourmand du jour ---------- For the most part, it is a failure to keep one's fingers out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot. That is a training issue. Glocks, for example, don't fire themselves but they do harshly treat folks that insist on keeping their booger hooks inside the trigger guard on drawing the firearm. It is the operator and not the equipment at fault. Almost all modern handguns today are drop safe and manufacturers generally issue immediate recalls if they receive even one or two incidents. Occasionally, there have been some relatively problematic holsters or something gets caught in the trigger guard on draw such as a jacket string but almost always it is the fault of the operator of the firearm for NDs. The Four Laws of operating firearms if followed though can reduce the risk that the ND causes problems. Posted by: whig at June 28, 2023 03:02 PM (szVoq) 270

H&K USP. De-cock lever. One in chamber.
First trigger pull is equal to a revolver. I really don't understand this philosophy. In a gunfight, your first shot is nearly always your best shot. Why make that shot more difficult? Get a good holster and practice the four laws. In every human endeavor, when you want to get really REALLY good at something, the universal coaching advice is to do that thing right, and be consistent. A heavy trigger pull on the first shot only is INTENTIONALLY making your gun an inconsistent device.

It's better than that - the Ukrainian constitution says that you don't have elections if martial law is in effect. Keep martial law in effect indefinitely - no elections ever.

In every human endeavor, when you want to get really REALLY good at something, the universal coaching advice is to do that thing right, and be consistent. A heavy trigger pull on the first shot only is INTENTIONALLY making your gun an inconsistent device.

That is how it worked in 1864. Hell, some states weren't allowed to vote in the 1868 elections, because they still had military governments.
And if the war goes on for ten years, as some people speculate it will, is it still cool not to have elections? Posted by: The Population of Moscow! at June 28, 2023 03:12 PM (2tUFv) There is the argument that an occupied area, or one under martial law should not vote because of the possibility of subject citizens to be manipulated or pressured into voting a certain way. It is hard to guarantee an open and free vote when there is a real possibility of summary arrest or restriction of civil rights. Posted by: Kindltot at June 28, 2023 03:15 PM (xhaym) 351

By the way, the only reason Rittenhouse was found not guilty is that there was multi camera video of the shootings - where the jury could actually see who the perps were. Otherwise that malignant narcissist mega Turd who prosecuted him would have been successful, and sent him away for multiple life sentences.

Or the police are weighing charges against the citizen. They will say that when the shooter turned his back and attempted to leave, he was no longer a threat, and at that point, the citizen became a criminal.
This is bullshit. All of this happened within seconds. Further, if someone simply turns his back and moves, this is not proof that he is "no threat." He may just be seeking cover before he turns and fires again. He did not drop his gun. He remained a threat to the life of the citizen, and anyone else for blocks around. ++++ They're waiting for orders because the local functionaries don't know the rules. The old rules were to just throw the book at the guy defending himself, but things have gone a bit weird lately so they're probably waiting for a callback from HQ.

If you point a gun at a person * Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction * Always be sure of your target and what's beyond it And you put your finger on the trigger * Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot And you don't intend to shoot, you've violated 3/4 of gun safety laws.

I dunno. That's tinfoil-hatty, but is in the realm of possibility. Spin the wheel. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 28, 2023 03:27 PM (t0OGg) 408
Zelensky's current popularity is about 90%.
I hear Putin's popularity is also about 90%. You get funny polling results in countries where the secret police frequently arrest people for being dissidents, which is true of both Russia and Ukraine. But fine - test Zelensky's popularity in unoccupied Ukraine by having an actual election. He's not going to allow that, of course.

I'd be willing to bet Zelensky is pretty popular, at least FTTB. He didn't bail out on his country. He hasn't acted like a pussy. In wartime, that's a benefit to politician, even if (if, lol) he's a crook.
But that goes to show - even if politicians will win in a fair election, they still hate fair elections. They want to walk through the door and shut it behind them. All of them want this. Some can swing it, and some can't. Zelensky is one who can. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 28, 2023 03:28 PM (oINRc) Posted by: Anna Puma at June 28, 2023 03:28 PM (G9rAY) 415
I see. You bitch because Z isn't going to hold elections, because he is afraid of not being reelected. Then, you bitch because the best polling shows he's hugely popular.
Like I said, you'll bitch no matter what. Posted by: Archimedes at June 28, 2023 03:26 PM (eOEVl) How is that bitching. You and he should have no problem with an election since he should get 90% of the vote. Posted by: polynikes at June 28, 2023 03:28 PM (MNhXM) 416
364: Soros DA is an understatement. With my area code I get spam texts for political candidates. The DA in Austin is a Communist, straight up.
The funny thing is that the Austin PD detective said, repeatedly, no charges. But the DA went ahead with the charges anyway. That detective quit Austin PD (got hired elsewhere) and actually testified on behalf of the Army sergeant - for the DEFENSE - in the trial. A good case for the cops hating you until they show you otherwise. This former detective clearly only cared about one thing - the truth.

I'm bitching? Show me one comment where I'm bitching about anything. Your boy Z is a fucking dictator with a blood thirsty secret police force that backs him up.

I carry one in the chamber in my 9mm Double Action Only SCCY CPX-2. I know there are a lot of people in the gun world who don't like those guns, but I'm not one of them. 10+1 rounds of 9mm. I like heavy triggers, they don't seem to affect my accuracy. Learned to shoot on Military weapons, all of which have heavy triggers. Keep the action lubricated, and the pistol is very reliable.
