So he brought a set of brass knuckles to a gunfight

From Splendid Isolation:

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be wanting a cigarette after reading this lovely little story — even if like me you don’t smoke.

An intruder who used brass knuckles to beat against a front door and break a window just before midnight Friday in Missouri was shot multiple times by the homeowner and killed.

KFVS 12 reported that the homeowner, Austin Glastetter, was in the house with his wife at the time of the incident.

Glastetter told the suspect, 31-year-old John Fisher, that he was armed, but Fisher allegedly responded by saying, “You’ll have to kill me.”

Wait, wait, hold it in for just a minute…

Glastetter then shot Fisher multiple times.

And:

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office issued a release noting that deputies arrived on the scene to find Fisher deceased.

Smoke ’em if you got ’em…

A Victory! COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good News for a change! Hard Nosed Folks Both Good & Bad Leadership of the highest kind Paint me surprised by this Real men Stand & Deliver

The man must of had solid brass balls!

On this day, 80 years ago on April 2nd 1945, Folke Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg met Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler at the Hohenlychen sanatorium in Lychen, Germany; Himmler was unsuccessful in convincing Bernadotte to help seek a peace between Germany and the Western Allies.

In 1943, Bernadotte was appointed head of Sweden’s Red Cross.

He wasted no time using his contacts and his humanitarian platform to try to help some of those most in need: prisoners of war (POWs) held by Germany.

By the beginning of 1945, Bernadotte had managed to secure the exchange and safe passage to Sweden of thousands of Allied POWs. But rather than withdrawing after a mission successfully accomplished, Bernadotte dramatically upped the ante. Contacting Heinrich Himmler, he proposed that the Swedish Red Cross be allowed to bring concentration camp inmates to Sweden, too.

It was a brazen suggestion, but it worked. Himmler gave Bernadotte permission to retrieve some 8,000 inmates, primarily Danes and Norwegians, from German concentration camps.

To ensure that Allied bombers didn’t target the evacuees, Bernadotte secured permission for the inmates to travel in 36 buses (donated by Volvo), which had been painted white with a red cross on their roofs. Because incarceration had left the inmates in perilous health, the buses also carried medical equipment. Some 250 Swedish Red Cross helpers accompanied Bernadotte and the concentration camp evacuees in what soon became known as Bernadotte Convoys.

With these evacuations underway, Bernadotte presented Himmler with another humanitarian rescue scheme: he wanted permission to free non-Scandinavians; Jews and others, from concentration camps and bring them to Sweden. On April 21st, Himmler agreed. Bernadotte Convoys managed to bring some 12,000 other concentration camp inmates to Sweden, including 7,000 women from Ravensbrück, around half of whom were Jewish.

When the war ended, Bernadotte had rescued at least 15,500 concentration camp inmates

Off-Duty Texas Cop Shoots Intruder BY Kimber Pearce

Blue police lights on car after off-duty cop shot a trespasser

A Houston homeowner called her father and a neighbor for help Monday night when an intruder refused to leave.

Around 11:15 p.m.,  the stranger appeared at the door. According to Click2Houston, the homeowner did not expect him and he refused to leave.

Montgomery County deputies issued a report on the incident.

Call the Off-Duty Cop For Help

“Feeling threatened, the homeowner contacted her father and a neighbor for help,” the deputies said.

The homeowner’s father is a retired officer from the Houston Police Department. The next-door neighbor, a homicide officer of 9 years with the HPD, was off-duty when she called.

When the father and neighbor arrived, the intruder was still there. The police have not determined what happened when the two officers arrived. They confronted the intruder.

Shots Fired

The conflict grew, and both the father and neighbor shot at the intruder. He received multiple bullet wounds.

The homeowner attempted to help him before the deputies arrived. Sheriff Dolittle said they escorted the suspect to nearby Memorial Hermann Hospital.

After treatment, officials said the intruder is expected to survive.

Investigation Into the Off-Duty Cop and Father

The Sheriff’s Office, HPD, and DA’s Office are investigating the shooting now. They placed off-duty officer on standard administrative leave while the investigation is underway.

Charges are pending against the “prowler,” Dolittletold Click2Houston. Dolittle thanked his deputies in a social media statement.

“I am grateful for the diligent efforts of our Deputies, who work tirelessly day in and day out,” Dolittle said.

Authorities have not reported whether the homeowner, her father, or the off-duty officer were injured.

A United Community Is Better

A study conducted by the Pew Research Center discovered that 60% of American citizens are concerned by the crime levels in our country. Other studies, on the other hand, claim that our crime rates are dropping.

Whether crime rates rise or fall, the problem remains.

Lawsuit Challenges Federal Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales by Ammoland Editors & Staff

FORT WORTH, Texas – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) have filed an important new lawsuit challenging federal laws prohibiting licensed firearm dealers from selling handguns to out-of-state buyers.

Elite Precision Customs v. ATF Case Background

The new lawsuit titled “Elite Precision Customs LLC, et al. v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, et al.” challenges the federal ban on interstate handgun sales. Filed by plaintiffs Elite Precision Customs LLC, Tim Herron, Freddie Blish, and the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., the lawsuit takes aim at regulations that prevent individuals from purchasing handguns from federally licensed dealers located outside their state of residence. Here’s a breakdown of the key issues and elements involved in this legal challenge:

Parties Involved:

  • Plaintiffs: Elite Precision Customs LLC, Tim Herron, Freddie Blish, and Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc.
  • Defendants: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Acting Attorney General James R. McHenry III, and Acting Director of the ATF, Marvin G. Richardson.

Legal Background:

Under current federal law, individuals cannot purchase handguns across state lines directly from dealers unless the firearms are shipped to a dealer in the purchaser’s home state. This law, under 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(3) and § 922(b)(3), is argued to impose undue hardship on buyers and sellers by adding unnecessary costs and delays.

Court’s Previous Rulings:

This issue was previously addressed in the case Mance v. Holder, where the District Court ruled the ban unconstitutional, a decision later reversed by the Fifth Circuit Court. The plaintiffs are leveraging the recent Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which rejected the use of means-end scrutiny for evaluating Second Amendment claims, as a new basis to challenge the interstate handgun sale ban.

Argument:

The plaintiffs argue that the ban violates the Second Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens from purchasing handguns across state lines for lawful purposes. They contend that with modern background checks and digital records, the concerns that originally justified these restrictions are outdated.

Relief Sought:

The lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief against the enforcement of the federal ban, arguing it infringes on Second Amendment rights.

This case represents a significant legal challenge to federal firearms regulations, highlighting the ongoing debate over gun rights and state versus federal powers in regulating firearm sales and ownership.


The case, Elite Precision Customs v. ATF, can be accessed at firearmspolicy.org/eliteprecision. This lawsuit is part of FPC and FPCAF’s high-impact strategic litigation program, FPC Law, which aims to eliminate unconstitutional laws and create a world of maximal liberty. FPC is joined in the litigation by two individual FPC members as well as Elite Precision Customs, a federally licensed firearm retailer in Texas. FPCAF is the counsel of record in this matter.

“This lawsuit challenges the federal ban on interstate transfers of handguns from federally licensed dealers to individuals who are otherwise eligible to purchase and possess a handgun for lawful purposes but cannot purchase directly from a dealer because they do not live in the same state as the dealer,” the complaint says. Because of that, the “ban violates the Second Amendment.” The plaintiffs are seeking a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction, and other relief.

“FPC and our courageous co-plaintiffs are proud to take on the federal government and fight forward to bring this evil ban scheme to its end,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “This important case is part of our broader strategic litigation efforts to eliminate laws that deny the right of peaceable people to exercise their right to acquire, possess, and carry arms while outside their state of residence. Through this case and others, we look forward to eliminating these immoral regulatory schemes once and for all.”

“The government’s ban preventing firearm dealers from selling handguns to people that reside in other states is unconstitutional. The ban has no historical support and cannot be justified under Supreme Court precedent. We look forward to demonstrating that in court,” said FPCAF President Cody J. Wisniewski, counsel for the plaintiffs.
