The state police have revoked O’Connell’s permit based on a provision of the concealed carry law that says permit holders can’t be the subject of a “proceeding for an offense or action that could lead to disqualification to own or possess a firearm,” said Monique Bond, a spokeswoman for the agency.

As much as I hated Chicago’s gun laws, this does us no favors and as expected, the mainstream media is all over it.  It would be interesting to know why Mr. O’Connell felt the need to pull a gun in a dispute over rent money. There may be more to it. I hope there’s more to it. There really needs to be more to it. Otherwise, Mr. O’Connell is living proof that for every stupid rule/law, there was some idiot who made it necessary.

“People convicted of minor domestic violence offenses can be barred from possessing guns even in states where no proof of physical violence is required to support the domestic violence charge, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday

Well there’s a miscarriage of justice. NO PROOF REQUIRED! Just the mere accusation is sufficient to destroy your life. One step forward, two steps back SCOTUS.

“No one did anything wrong. It was just a confluence of events that provoked a tragedy,” 0Parker said. “My understanding is that the firefighter, off-duty, had been out. He did what he was supposed to do: He took a cab ride home, got dropped off in the wrong place and wasn’t aware of it. [He] tried to get into what he thought was his house and was tragically shot.”

I’m actually rather impressed that Houston’s mayor, or any liberal Democrat, is actually capable of taking this stance on such things. Of course, they nearly all make exceptions when it’s actually their own home. Anyone else needs to be a good victim.

All the political BS aside, it is indeed a tragedy.  There will be those who scream “murder!” because they believe she should have called 911 and waited until he was in her home and sobered up to do anything about it. After all, he didn’t mean to harm anyone one.  But, how many home invasions, robberies, rapes, and murders start under seemingly identical circumstances for the poor woman whose home he tried to enter? Is she supposed to assume all the risks and just see what happens once he’s in?

“The DA’s office indicated they didn’t think it was necessarily clear that a shot was fired, but you can actually see a flash and see the gun pull back after he pulls the trigger,” said defense attorney Anthony Rutkowski.

[sarcasm] Way to go New York! Keeping citizens in line by prosecuting them for self-defense. [/sarcasm] What’s really interesting is these folks have video of break-in that shows what looks like a gun shot from the suspect’s gun. But, prosecutors maintain that they didn’t find any bullets and they think the guy was shot while running away. I am glad I live in Texas.

The man pulled out a gun of his own and fired. The suspect was killed. No one else was injured.

If you have to use a gun defensively, we prefer you have a shooting rather than a gunfight. In other words, the fight is over before the bad guy realizes it began and he’s DRT (dead right there).
