It Should Have Been A Defensive Gun Use: Burn Notice Edition

“The victim was walking near a gas station when she when she was forced into a car at gunpoint,” freep.com reports. “[Roderick] Neely is accused of driving a short period of time, then parking the car, beating the woman in the face, pulling off her clothes and using a blowtorch [not shown] to burn her feet. ‘The woman escaped by taking a tool and injuring the defendant’s face,’ said Maria Miller, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office.” Actually, she stabbed him in the eye with a screwdriver. I’m sure she would have preferred to have shot Mr. Neely in the chest a few times to avoid the car journey. “Authorities are investigating whether there is a connection between the attack and two incidents in July, when two other women were burned by a blowtorch, Deputy Police Chief David LeValley said. ‘The (method of operating) and description matches the previous incidents,’ although police are not ready to link the man to the summer cases without further investigation.” Not an original idea, of course. Nor is defending yourself through force of arms.

  1. At this point, I think if he was going to do something drastic, he already would have. There were plenty of chances. However, never underestimate the stupidity of a statist politician, and never let your guard down.

  2. Mark my words,

    Confiscation will be under the radar. Mark my words. He will try to do everything in stealth.

    I can tell you having lived in Washington for a long time, right now, as we speak, there are people on The Hill who are doing everything they can in their power to come up with various different means by which they can possibly enact more and more gun control.

    If you think we are in for the fight of our lives, you have truly underestimated what is going on right now, behind closed doors, in some Congressman’s or Senator’s office.

    We are truly at a crossroads in this country where it things can go either way. If you are not politically active, you absolutely need to be.
