Ed and I talked about this theory with Joel Rosenberg on the NARN show the other day – and since Joel mentioned it on his blog yesterday, I figured I’d elaborate. I’ve been talking with some lawyer friends of mine about … Continue reading
Joel Rosenberg and I had an interesting time talking about the Treptow case on the show today. And I don’t mean “interesting” in the classical Hindu sense of the term, either. Expect much more coverage on this blog over the … Continue reading
Let’s go back in time ten years. Back then, as the plucky underdogs of “Concealed Carry Reform Now” worked away at the biggest grassroots political coup in Minnesota pre-Tea-Party history, the orcs of the anti-gun movement sawed gamely away at … Continue reading
…for the prosecutor in Florida to charge George Zimmerman with Second Degree Murder. Corey also had a message for those who have been rushing to judgment on the case. “You cannot know what it’s like to launch this type of … Continue reading
The Strib finally did it. The Strib’s editorial board, in serving in its unstated capacity as stenographers for the DFL and its agenda, have written some howlers over the years; countering them has provided a constant source of material for … Continue reading
With last week’s statement by Hennco Attorney Mike Freeman that the “good samaritan” who shot Darren Evanovich acted in justifiable self-defense, I have a question for the Twin Cities media. I’ll direct it first and foremost at my, well, good … Continue reading
UPDATE: Welcome Power Line readers! Feel free to check out the other parts of my coverage of the Evanovich shooting case. ———-. I’ve been a “Gunnie” for close to 30 years. Not a hunter, mind you – just a shooter. … Continue reading
This morning, we went over the claims from “Spotty” from Cucking Stool that Rep. Cornish’s “Stand Your Ground” bill (HF 1467, which we discussed at great length last week) would allow people to make spurious claims of self-defense and, literally, … Continue reading
Amid the scrum of personal and political news of this past week or so, I almost missed this one; the apparent self-defense shooting late Saturday night at a northeast Minneapolis bar involving a bouncer with a carry permit: Tirso Cruz Gomez, 24, … Continue reading
Today on the Northern Alliance Radio Network: Volume I “The First Team” – John, Brian and Chad – will kick things off from 11-1. No idea, as this is written, what they’re going to talk about, but I’m going to guess … Continue reading
Last June, Martin Treptow shot Landen Beard. Beard – an undercover Robbinsdale cop – was alleged (by Treptow and eyewitnesses) to have been in a road-raging snit. The rest of the story is very much in contention, although according to … Continue reading
An Anoka County grand jury has handed down indictments in the Coon Rapids “Road Rage” case from last summer: Two men involved in a road rage shooting incident at Foley Boulevard and 99th Avenue N.W., Coon Rapids, June 7 will … Continue reading
A Robbinsdale Police Department officer is the protagonist in the Treptow case, which (as we’ve been noting without resolution since last June, was started when the officer allegedly kicked off a road rage incident that ended with Martin Treptow apparnently … Continue reading
Joel Rosenberg with the latest on the Treptow case. Whatever can be said about the Anoka County Attorney’s office — and I think, in this case, that’s rather a lot, and none of it terribly flattering — they’re certainly not … Continue reading
It’s been over two months since that afternoon in June when – depending on who you believe – either: an irresponsible citizen who should never have been given a carry permit (under a law that should never have passed!) freaked … Continue reading
Joel Rosenberg on the latest in the Treptow case – the June 7 incident in Coon Rapids where a citizen with a carry permit shot a road-raging driver who (allegedly) pointed a gun at his wife, and later turned out … Continue reading
I’ve been writing about the Martin Treptow case for about a month now. The case – in which a citizen with a carry permit shot a police officer who was alleged to have been undercover at the time – has … Continue reading
i’ve been following the story of the Treptow case – where a legal permit-holder shot an undercover cop who was allegedly behaving very aggressively, and finally allegedly pulled a gun on the man’s wife – since the beginning. Joel Rosenberg’s … Continue reading
…what can be better explained by experience. When you’re a Second Amendment activist in a liberal city, you get used to the usual slurs; self-defense activists are anger-prone, compensating for something, or awash in testosterone. The writer of this bit, … Continue reading
Shoot a cop… …get released? Doesn’t happen, generally – unless the cop’s done something grossly wrong. Cops and district attorneys take “shooting at cops” pretty seriously. Rightly so. We don’t exactly know what happened in the shooting incident on Highway … Continue reading
