Isn’t it weird how the city council doesn’t have to worry about self-defense, but you do? What happens when you want to disband the police, but have no plan at all to replace them? Well, in Minneapolis what’s happening is that the city council is spending thousands of dollars in private security for three council…
BOOM: The unthinkable has happened, and you have been forced to shoot an attacker.

Self-defense is a human right, and you don’t lose it if you are, or become, disabled. Ask any law-enforcement officer about the quality of criminals these days, and they’ll tell you: The vast majority of them aren’t exactly evil geniuses, a la Professor Moriarty, nor are they particularly brave. In general, two-legged predators are very…
