Now That's Sticking To Your Guns...

Today, it's all about the bang-bangs. (No, I didn't say gang-bangs, you perverts. Get your mind out of the gutter.) We're going to talk about firearms.

Let's start with the story of a man who used his 9mm in self-defense during a home invasion.

--One of two men who allegedly invaded a residence in Boyd County Wednesday night has died of wounds inflicted by a man who lived at the house. The dead man is identified as 50-year-old Robert Chapman of Greenup.

The Boyd County sheriff's department reports 23-year-old Jason Daniels was tied up by two men who had impersonated police officers and pounded on the door. When Daniels didn't open the door, the two smashed the door open. Sheriff Terry Keelin says they tied up Daniels in the bathroom and began ransacking the house, but Daniels was able to free himself and obtain his 9-millimeter pistol.--

Good for him.Anyone who tries to gain entry to your house by impersonating a police officer, busts down the door, then ties you up, probably isn't there for grilled cheese, tomato soup, and cartoons.

I didn't understand this part, though.

--Justice was charged with burglary and impersonating a police officer. A grand jury will be asked to decide if Daniels will be charged, but Keelin says none have been filed so far.--

What in the fuck would they charge Mr. Daniels with? Refusing to be a panty-waist victim? Chlorinating the gene pool? Failure to cancel both the dirtbags rather than just one?

The dead guy's family is apparently making some noise about Daniels being a "bad" man. Supposedly he was a drug dealer. You know what? I don't really give a shit if he was peddling more dope than anyone else in Kentucky. If you invade a man's home, you'd best expect to be kilt.

On to a couple of good ol' boys in Tennessee who quelled an armed road rager.

--Police in Memphis say a gunman firing a pistol beside a busy city street was subdued by two passers-by who were also armed. No one was hurt during the incident that apparently began with a minor traffic accident, but one passing car was believed hit by a bullet.

Brothers William Webber and Paul Webber told police they stopped their car and pulled their own pistols when they saw a man firing a handgun yesterday. The brothers said they ordered the man to drop his weapon and then held him at gunpoint until police arrived a few minutes later. Police say the Webbers did not fire their pistols.--

Well done, gentlemen.

Every time I read about people who are "concerned" about concealed carry, I think of stories like this. Had the Webber brothers not been armed, who nows what sort of unfortunate outcome could have resulted.

And I don't fucking want to hear the whole "If guns weren't legal..." line of bullshit. I seriously dobt that the criminals worry too much about that when they are obtaining THEIR guns.

(By the by, my big-titted secretary looks totally hot when she's shooting a gun. Just thought I'd share that.)

And today's last gunrelated story is fucking HUGE. I mean, bigger than my massive moose-meat huge. Some federal judge struck down Washington DC's handgun ban.

--A federal appeals court overturned the District of Columbia's long-standing handgun ban Friday, rejecting the city's argument that the Second Amendment right to bear arms applied only to militias.

In a 2-1 decision, the judges held that the activities protected by the Second Amendment "are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contingent" on enrollment in a militia.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the city cannot prevent people from keeping handguns in their homes. The ruling also struck down a requirement that owners of registered firearms keep them unloaded and disassembled. The court did not address provisions that prohibit people from carrying unregistered guns outside the home.

The decision marks the first time a federal appeals court has struck down a portion of a gun law on Second Amendment grounds.--

Ya know what this means? The Supreme Court is going to hear a REAL Second Amendment case. No, I don't think they'll take a pass. John Roberts has balls. He's not afraid of the tough cases.

Thus, perhaps the question of what the Second Amendment REALLY means will become a matter of settled case law. And that's a good thing.

Now if they would only undo that idiotic Kelo decision, we'd be all set.
