U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)-– Shortly after midnight, in the early morning of December 13, 2022, the owner of a 2022 Dodge Charger Hellcat was parking the vehicle in a driveway in Eastpoint, Illinois, a part of the Detroit metroplex. He was approached by more than one suspect in an apparent carjacking attempt.

 From Eastpoint Police and Fire Department:

On December 13, 2022, at approximately 12:30 am, Eastpointe Police Officers were dispatched to the area of the 23 thousand block of Hayes on an attempt carjacking and shots fired complaint. The suspects approached the victim while he was parking his vehicle (2022 Dodge Charger Hellcat) in the driveway. During the attempted robbery, the suspects and victim exchanged gunfire. The victim was a CPL holder. The suspects then fled in a stolen Chevy Impala.

Shortly after the exchange of gun fire, it was reported that a male, who was later identified as one of the suspects, had checked himself into a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg. As Eastpointe Detectives were in route to the hospital, the suspect had fled.

After an exhaustive investigation, Eastpointe Detectives and Eastpointe Special Investigation Unit teamed up with the Detroit Police Organized Crime Unit and tracked the stolen Impala to Clinton Township. Eastpointe Detectives worked with Clinton Township Police and located the stolen vehicle. The suspect later exited a residence and entered the vehicle. After a brief vehicle pursuit, the suspect was arrested without incident.

Search warrants were executed at the residence and the stolen vehicle. Evidence of the crime was recovered. We are still working on locating the second suspect. We want to personally thank our Detroit Police and Clinton Twp. Police neighbors for their assistance.

ARRESTED

Damon Lamar Currie, 27 years old

CHARGES

Assault with intent to murder

Felony firearm

Bond was set at $750,000 with GPS tether-Currie was arraigned at the 38th District Court in Eastpointe.

Some of the comments on the Eastpointe Police and Fire Department site were illuminating:

Thank you for catching yet another thug, here trying to ruin our neighborhood! These people need to learn that our police officers don’t take too kindly to crimes of any sort and you will get caught ! Smarten up and learn to be a good human being…the world needs more of that !

Yo smooths, you might not be the master criminal you think you are. Perhaps you could should find another racket like actually working for a living like the rest of us.

When armed victims wound suspects, the police have a much easier job of finding and arresting them.

Buffalo Provides Real-Time Example of Insane ‘Progressive’ War on Guns

Readily available for photo ops at stores during non-emergencies, when looters ran wild during the recent blizzard, Buffalo cops were needed elsewhere responding to more critical demands. Meanwhile, their anti-gun boss is focused on attacking legal gun sellers and manufacturers. (Mayor Byron W. Brown/Facebook)

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Deadly blizzard conditions in upstate New York gave cover to local looters over the weekend as they robbed businesses while police were stuck elsewhere,” the New York Post reports. Mayor Byron Brown says he’s “astounded.”

“I don’t know how these people can even live with themselves, how they can look at themselves in the mirror,” he complained to the media. “They are the ‘lowest of the low.”’

“They’re not looting foods and medicines, they’re just looting items that they want. So these aren’t even people in distress,” Brown complained. “These are people who are taking advantage of a national disaster and the suffering of many in our community to take what they want.”

Nothing says “social justice,” like victimizing the helpless while plundering retail merchandise. Does it occur to them that if they take something of value from someone who has earned it, they have effectively enslaved him for the amount of time that it took him? Probably not, but if it did, do you think they’d care?

And talk about updating the old adage that “When seconds count, the police are minutes away.”

When seconds count, the police are nowhere to be found and won’t be. That’s always the case, especially in times of widespread emergency, when civil authority is concentrated and triaging to where directed, and everybody else is left on their own. In this case, with people dying, there’s no question police were desperately needed elsewhere. But it’s in these times of disaster when people left to protect themselves are most justified in doing just that against predators.

You don’t know what a lawless mob brazen enough to loot with impunity, with the implied threat that anyone who tries to stop them will be dealt with physically, will do should they perceive that you are keeping them from what they want. That threat is terrifying and real. Yet imagine who would be on trial if one or more of the hapless victims did what was both necessary and just.

Sorry. The people who invite violent anarchy tell us, “You loot, we shoot” is racist.

People like Mayor Brown, who has enrolled Buffalo as a member of Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Guns… (I left out “Illegal,” because it’s redundant. If these local tyrants had their way, they all would be everywhere, in Everytown.)

He’s the one leading a “first of its kind’ lawsuit against … manufacturers, distributors, and other local gun shops.”:

“‘Members of our community have suffered too much and for too long from gun violence. We must do everything we can to decrease gun violence. Enabling the possession of illegal guns destroys lives and deeply effects [sic] our neighborhoods, especially in Black and Brown communities,’ said Brown.”

It’s hardly a “first of its kind.” It’s why the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was passed. As with all things “progressive,” it’s a recycled bad idea intended to solidify a totalitarian violence monopoly and further swindle citizens out of their rights

Which population is it in Buffalo that overwhelmingly possesses those “illegal guns”? Who is it who most needs protection from them? And how does making it more difficult (and expensive!) to legally own and carry them do anything but guarantee more victims in those communities?

Don’t bother asking the “astounded” Brown. He not only doesn’t have any answers, but his entire power shtick also depends on keeping anyone ignorant enough to vote for him from even considering such questions.

And in the meantime, they’d better pray they don’t need to call anyone for help at the time when they most need it.

Mississippi takes Active Approach to Guard Against Mass Murder in Schools

Mississippi Gun iStock-884194552
Mississippi takes Active Approach to Guard Against Mass Murder in Schools IMG iStock-884194552

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)-– On October 1, 1997, school principal Joel Myrick (a U.S. Army Reserve Major) stopped a shooting at the Pearl Mississippi High School by holding the killer at gunpoint until police arrived. A student had assisted by blocking the killer’s car with their car. The killer attempted to drive around the other vehicle but became stuck. At that point, Joel Myrick pointed his .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol at the killer, and the killer surrendered.

At the time, it was illegal for Joel Myrick to bring his personal weapon onto the school property. He had to retrieve it from his car. No one attempted to prosecute Myrick for breaking the federal gun-free school zone act.

Thirteen years later, in 2011, Mississippi passed a bill creating a shall-issue enhanced carry permit, which allows the possessors to carry in several otherwise prohibited locations, such as schools and colleges, places that serve alcohol, polling places, meetings of the legislature, airline passenger terminals (excepting federally secured areas) and churches. This effectively allowed carrying in schools by people with the enhanced permit.

In 2016, Mississippi passed a state version of Constitutional Carry (permitless carry). The permitless carry law did not apply to schools. From Mississippitoday.com:

In 1990, the board created a policy which prohibited weapons in schools, except in the possession of law enforcement officials. The policy also allowed districts to create additional rules about weapons in their district. But in 2012, when state lawmakers passed an enhanced carry law that allowed enhanced permit holders to carry weapons on school campuses, the board never updated its policy.

The board voted in July to adopt a temporary rule change to address this issue, and after receiving and reviewing public comment, the board made its temporary change permanent on Thursday. The new policy reads “each local school district shall have a policy concerning weapons on school premises.”

In the July meeting, the Mississippi Department of Education’s (MDE) general counsel referenced an attorney general opinion from 2013, which clarifies that possessing a gun on school property is a felony according to Mississippi law unless one possesses an enhanced concealed carry permit.

No mass murder at a Mississippi school has taken place since 1997.  To further enhance Mississippi school safety, Republican Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi has recommended the creation of a school guardian program that would pay volunteers in schools to be armed and responsible for the defense of the students and staff. Volunteers would undergo training and be paid about $500 a month. From mcusercontent.com:

Enhance School Safety

There are few issues of higher importance than ensuring the safety of Mississippi children. When parents send their kids to school, they should be able to rest comfortably knowing that their kids will be safe and protected. Every child should be able to focus solely on learning, and Mississippi intends to provide the security necessary for that.

To better protect our kids, I propose creating the Mississippi School Safety Guardian Program. Guardians will be trained to provide armed intervention in the event of an active shooter threat. They will be employees of the school district and nominated by the district to be trained and certified by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS).

Guardians will receive a monthly stipend of $500 dollars, be issued a firearm, a holster, and ammunition by DPS. They will graduate from a training program hosted by DPS and must recertify with the Department annually. I propose allocating $5 million to cover the cost of an initial rollout for the program across 450 schools, with the goal of ultimately expanding the program to every public school across the state.

Additionally, Mississippi should allocate a dedicated source of funding to identify and provide an annual threat assessment for every school across the state. I propose $1 million toward this effort.

School Resource officers cost about $100,000 a year. $500 a month per guardian would cost about $6,000 a year. About 16-17 school guardians can be trained and available for each School Resource Officer.

The enhanced permit in Mississippi costs about $115 dollars and can be renewed every five years for $72. There are reduced fees for retired and active duty military or spouse and law enforcement officers. Applications must be made in person, but people who have carry permits from other states may apply.

Republicans hold more than two thirds of the Senate and about 63% of the house seats in the Mississippi state legislature. It appears a bill supported by Governor Reeves has a reasonable chance of passage.

Machine Gun Charges Against Small Town Police Chief Point to Larger Issues

Know your place in the food chain. There are “Only Ones,” there are “ATF Only Ones,” and there are “little people.” (ATF/Facebook)

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “A federal grand jury in Des Moines returned an indictment … charging Adair Chief of Police Bradley Wendt with unlawfully obtaining and possessing machine guns,” the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Idaho announced in a mid-December press release. “According to unsealed court documents, Wendt … exploited his position …  to acquire 10 machine guns purportedly for the official duties and responsibilities of the Adair Police Department, but later resold several of those machine guns at a significant profit.”

He also, per the release, “acquired 13 machine guns for his Denison-based gun store, BW Outfitters, through false statements to the ATF that the machine guns were being demonstrated for future potential purchase by the Adair Police Department … sought to demonstrate or purchase approximately 90 machine guns for the Adair Police Department, which serves a town of less than 800 people [and, with an accomplice] hosted public machine gun shoots, where they charged patrons money…”

Nice work if you can get it. The problem is, without a badge, you can’t, and therein lies the crux of police as “Only Ones.”

That’s a term I started using (and trying to get others to adopt) after a DEA agent explained to a classroom full of school children that he was “the only one professional enough” to carry a Glock and then shot himself in the foot trying to re-holster it. As I explain to readers on my The War in Guns blog:

“[T]he purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.”

Over the years, and without particularly trying, that body of evidence just keeps growing, and growing, and growing.  As the character Brant from the dystopian science fiction film Blade Runner noted:

“You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”

They sure do make it tough to “Back the Blue” sometimes, don’t they? For those gun owners who wave that flag and insist it’s just “a few bad apples,” what percent would not obey orders to confiscate your guns?  Show your work.

The Adair indictment also illustrates another danger, particularly in jurisdictions where police officials are either enthusiastically on board (or even driving) the citizen disarmament bandwagon.

“What Would Happen if ‘Battle of Athens’ Round Two Ever Becomes Necessary?” I asked back in 2014. That article looked at the militarization of police departments with surplus equipment from the feds. It focused on recent acquisitions by the McMinn County Sheriff’s Department and speculated on how the World War Two veterans trying to ensure election integrity against a corrupt sheriff and deputies would have fared had they been greeted by full autos, grenade launchers, and MRAPs.

Let’s keep working for freedom to reduce the need to ever have to find out. Let’s not forget that things may come down to resistance or surrender.

While the charges against Chief Wendt are just that, while he is entitled to a presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and while the Justice Department and ATF have given gun owners very little reason of late to trust any charges they bring as anything other than tyrannical overreach and/or in-your-face political rape, it’s not out of line to speculate that exploitation of the badge was going on.

There is one thing that is provable, and this one that I’m quoting from The Captain’s Journal is beyond the shadow of a doubt:

“There is a solution to all of this, of course.  Undo the infringement of the NFA, GCA and Hughes Amendment.  Then no one will be able to enrich themselves this way by selling machine guns.”

Justice Sotomayor Gives New York One Week to Respond to GOA’s Petition

GOA Files New Case Against New York's CCIA, iStock-697763642
Justice Sotomayor Gives New York One Week To Respond To GOA’s Petition, iStock-697763642

WASHINGTON, D.C. -(Ammoland.com)- Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor has given New York State until next Tuesday to respond to Gun Owners of America’s (GOA) emergency petition to SCOTUS to vacate the stay on a District Court’s preliminary injunction against the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA).

GOA and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), GOA’s non-profit, teamed up with several plaintiffs to sue New York State to block the State’s CCIA in the Antonyuk v. Hochul lawsuit.

The CCIA was passed in response to New York Pistol Rifle Association v. Bruen. The landmark SCOTUS decision knocked down New York State’s “proper cause” clause in the Empire State’s concealed carry law. It also eliminated the two-step test in Second Amendment cases. Courts can now only use the original text and history to decide gun cases. Bruen also limited where states could ban guns. Only specific locations could be considered “sensitive.” These areas include schools and government buildings. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas stated that a state could not designate a place as “sensitive” because it is where people gather.

New York State quickly passed a new law in response to Bruen. “Proper cause” was replaced with “good moral character.” Anyone wanting a concealed carry permit must submit three years of social media posts for the State to review. Most of the State became a gun-free zone, including Time Square, because it is where people gather. The State also created the new term of “restrictive” locations. The new category applies to any business that does NOT post a sign saying that firearms are welcome. This category would have the same force of law as an area deemed “sensitive.”

The plaintiffs asked the court to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) until the court could rule on the coalition’s request for an injunction. A Western New York Federal District Court judge found that the plaintiffs would likely succeed on the case’s merits and suffer irreparable harm by the law. New York appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to stay the TRO, which the Second Circuit did relent to the State’s request. Before GOA and New York State faced off in Circuit Court, the District judge issued a preliminary injunction against the CCIA, finding most of the law unconstitutional.

Once again, the State returned to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and asked it to stay the preliminary injunction against the CCIA. The Second Circuit, known for being anti-gun, sided with the state and issued the stay. GOA filed an emergency petition to the Supreme Court asking it to lift the stay. The gun rights organization claimed that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals didn’t give a reasoned analysis in their decision and issued a “knee-jerk” ruling.

Justice Sotomayor, who oversees the Second Circuit, granted GOA’s petition and gave New York exactly one week to respond. Even though Sotomayor is no friend of gun rights, she will not likely disregard the Bruen decision. Justice Sotomayor can do several things. First, she could vacate the stay herself, which seems unlikely. The smart money is on her referring the case to the full bench to rule, which would most likely side with the plaintiffs. The decision will have rippling effects across the country. States like New Jersey have similar laws and are being sued in multiple lawsuits by organizations such as the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Once New York State files its response, there isn’t a timeline for the next step.

Armed Defender Ends Attack on the Road

Armed Defender Ends Attack on the Road, iStock-1354934183
Armed Defender Ends Attack on the Road, iStock-1354934183

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Crime happens anywhere and anytime. It was just before midnight Saturday when a man in his pickup truck was returning home with his two-year-old. He was almost home when he saw a woman walking on the side of the road. It was quite dark and cold on this rural road. The driver in his pickup truck stopped and offered the 49-year-old woman a ride. This is an uneventful good samaritan story so far.

The woman on the side of the road lived nearby. The individual in the pickup truck decided to drop his child off at home with his wife before he delivered the pedestrian to her home. The pickup truck had just pulled back onto the road in Elkrun Township, Ohio when it was struck from behind by a jeep. The jeep pushed the truck off the road. The driver in the truck looked in his rearview mirror and saw that the driver in the jeep had a handgun out the window with the gun pointed at the people in the truck. The vehicles stopped off the road in a wooded portion of this rural area.

The truck driver grabbed his firearm and got out of his truck. So did the driver of the jeep. Deputies reported that the jeep driver fired first before the armed defender shot his attacker several times in the torso. The attacker stopped shooting and fell on the side of the road. The defender stopped shooting and backed away. He called 911 and asked for help. The news reports don’t mention when the defender put his gun away, nor do they mention where he put it.

Sheriff’s deputies and emergency medical services arrived at the scene. The attacker was declared dead. The 49-year-old woman on the side of the road had been a passenger in the jeep. The 69-year-old driver of the jeep attacked her. She got out of the jeep and escaped by walking toward her home along the side of the road. The Sheriff said this incident started as a domestic assault and the driver of the pickup truck acted in self-defense. Sheriff Brian McLaughlin said, “I don’t foresee any charges being filed.”

The defender was shaken but not injured. He said he was glad that his child wasn’t hurt and that he was praying for everyone involved.

This story is one of many that goes underreported by the mainstream media because it shows a positive image of a law-abiding gun owner using that tool to defend their life and family. It is our responsibility at AmmoLand to report these stories to you the reader. While we will continue to report these stories, groups like the Crime Prevention Research Center, led by Dr. John Lott, are fastidious in studying the use of firearms for self-defense. Stay up to date with all news on self-defense by following CPRC and Ammoland.

Hunter Biden Ally Should Worry About ‘Gun Crimes’ of His Own

As for a “counter narrative,” what refutes the observable fact that in order to purchase a gun legally, Hunter Biden would have had to answer “No” on the ATF Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record Question. iStock-919659526

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Some Hunter Biden allies making plans to go after his accusers,” The Washington Post reports. “Hunter Biden’s friend and lawyer Kevin Morris … described defamation lawsuits the team could pursue against the presidential son’s critics, including Fox News, Eric Trump, and Rudy Giuliani.”

Morris held a meeting at his California home to assess legal strategies and highlight opposition research. At one point, Hunter Biden himself called in. And the attendance of another supporter tells us much about the company he keeps:

“They feel that there is a whole counternarrative missing because of the whole Hunter-hater narrative out there,” said liberal activist David Brock, who attended the meeting. “What we really got into was more the meat of it, the meat of what a response would look like.” Brock was planning for a new group, Facts First USA, focused on fighting the looming House GOP investigations.

Dismissing reports on Biden as a “Hunter-hater narrative” is a deliberate tactic used by a media pro who knows how to manipulate narratives. As for a “counter-narrative,” what refutes the observable fact that in order to purchase a gun legally, Hunter Biden would have had to answer “No” on the ATF Form 4473.

Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

There’s no “Hunter-hater” motivation in wanting to see equal treatment under the law for all citizens or in pointing out the hypocrisy in the son of an anti-gun president getting both preferential treatment and administrative cover for what the government considers a serious “gun crime” felony. You would think all honest Americans would want that regardless of political affinities. You’d think so-called “commonsense gun safety” advocates would not want to see people who would otherwise be “prohibited persons” gaming the background check system. And you’d think that everyone interested in honest government would be demandingly curious about how the Secret Service is getting away with what appears to be false statements on an affidavit about its role in the case – with absolutely no media or political scrutiny or investigation.

That Brock is a major player on Team Hunter is particularly revealing. The founder of Media Matters, he first gained prominence as a “rightwing investigative reporter in the 1990s” before “he switched sides, aligning himself with the Democratic Party and in particular with Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

That he is now devoted to suppressing a Republican Congressional investigation and chilling criticism with the threat of lawsuits is hardly surprising to those of us who have observed his M.O. over the years.

Brock’s Media Matters reportedly coordinated spin with Eric Holder’s Department of Justice on stories about ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious “gun-walking” plot that resulted in the deaths of two federal agents and an untold number of Mexican nationals. Curiously, the same DOJ operative on point with Media Matters dismissed a bar complaint against Holder I had made with colleague Mike Vanderboegh as “specious” and “frivolous.”

They didn’t want that talked about, either.

It’s also unsurprising since we’re talking about an apparatchik for the party of phony inclusion and tolerance that Brock’s Media Matters CEO/henchman displayed his inner bigoted hatred. Can you imagine if a “conservative” had said that? Who thinks he’d be promoted instead of destroyed?

It also seems in “character” to recall employee assessments of Brock’s “volatile and erratic behavior and struggle with mental illness” and his abusive treatment of employees:

“Meanwhile, Brock became rigid and harsh with his employees — ‘viciously mean,’ in the words of someone who witnessed it. ‘He spent a lot of time ripping up researchers. It was abusive. I never understood why more people didn’t quit.’ One staffer recalls Brock saying he would like to fire a researcher for being physically repugnant. ‘David definitely does not like ugly people.’”

But what makes highlighting Brock’s involvement with Biden in this case especially relevant for an AmmoLand report is how both have reportedly flouted gun laws and evidently gotten away with it. From the above-linked report to The Daily Caller:

“Paranoid” Media Matters founder David Brock had bodyguards and an “executive assistant [who] carried a handgun to public events,” including in Washington, D.C. At the time of the report, that was illegal, meaning he could not have been “lawfully carrying.” Evidently, “progressive” elites believe “gun laws” they demand for the rest of us do not apply to them.

If Mr. Brock wishes to offer a “counternarrative” to anything reported here, unlike those who use their connections and influence to suppress information that does not serve their interests, I’ll do what I can to help him call attention to it. If he, Media Matters, or Kevin Morris want to take things further and try to put the chill on things with bullying legal threats, well, maybe that’s one way to get more attention for Hunter Biden and his problematic 4473.
