FYI, all but the threat almost always duck and hide. Only the shooter(s) and those confronting them are moving on the same axis. Everybody else is either frozen in fear or trying to get off the "X" (sideways or away from the shooter). We train to ignore the "low and lateral movement", and confront the "upright and linear movement". Them two nimrods...although I applaud them for the effort...would be busy pissing all over their $200 loafers under Table 27 when we came through the door to confront the actual threat.

Exactly my point. They're obviously not trained in anything and are just as likely to shoot at any movement.

I have to believe you can understand the sketchy nature of "qualifying" to practice a right.

Qualify to practice what? You taking your pistol to a range to practice is not the same as concealed carry.

Edit: do you mean exercise? Because there are multiple restrictions that can be enforced on other rights like speech and assembly.

Tucker Carlson Interviews St. Louis Man Who Defended His Home From BLM Mob, Here’s What He Said

81fb8a26-d782-4f77-a983-b681fe13e884.png


Tucker Carlson interviewed Mark McCloskey tonight on his top-rated program. In the segment, McCloskey was able to give his side of the story and share what he was feeling as an angry mob broke into his neighborhood and appeared just feet from his house. He’s now facing potential “assault” charges for “intimidating” the group that the local DA described as peaceful protesters.

Before McCloskey came on, though, Carlson laid out exactly who that DA is. You’ll be less than shocked to learn that she’s another product of George Soros’ recent campaign to install far-left, anti-law and order DAs across the country. The billionaire poured millions into local races and it has reaped wins across bluer urban centers. As Carlson notes, only 23% of the criminal cases sent to Kim Gardner by the St. Louis Police Department were ultimately charged and pursued. Just as we’ve seen from prosecutors in New York, Chicago, and elsewhere, this DA sees herself as a social justice warrior, and any attempts to critique her abandonment of her duty results in charges of racism.

When McCloskey appeared, he was asked what was going through his mind as the mob came marching toward his house.

So to summarize... you acknowledge that you’re around people regularly who carry, you haven’t been shot yet, but somehow you’re in fear of being shot?

Whelp not much I can do to help you here. I would suggest a couple of gallons of Ben and Jerry’s and some 80’s John Hughes brat pack films to help cope? 🤷‍♂️

Dont know why you have to get insulting about it. Would you get in a duck blind or be sitting next to them in a restaurant when something scared them based on what you've seen?

Let's be clear... I've got more than a little sympathy for the idea of having at least a modicum of training to be carrying in public. I'd also like to point out the difference between a "restriction" and an onus. Imagine if you had to pass a grammar test and pay for your FOS rights outside your home. Don't get too tied up in this but just be cognizant of the tricky balancing act required with the idea of government mandated hoop jumping and financial burden being associated with a right.

Additionally even though I believe there's something like a dozen Constitutional carry states I'm not aware of any demonstrable correlation with bad shoots involving otherwise lawful carry. (and let's be honest here, the antis would be on such evidence like stink on skunk farts)

Thanks. Didn't see Nash's post... Hate to harp on the subject, but I still contend that regardless of political ideology, the travesty here is their handling of the firearms. They are the reason why I oppose permitless carry.

Exactly. Nobody in a pink polo should be allowed anywhere near an assault rifle.

Don’t care. They still looked ridiculous and deserved to get laughed at.

The only one's laughing at them are those on the left!

Those on the right see everyday Americans exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to protect their self, their family and their home! They showed what the 2nd amendment is all about not someone like myself and others who have been around firearms most of their lives not a former grunt, not a farmer/rancher or outdoorsman but the everyday 9 to 5 American.

I wondered how this would go down in TN based on our laws.

The defense of property statute says you can threaten or use force (does not specify deadly/nonlethal) to stop or end a trespass. The defense of property statute does specify that you may only use deadly force in defense of property if deadly force is justified under the self defense statute.

The self defense statute applies the reasonable belief of serious bodily injury or death standard in order to threaten or use deadly force. So, if you're defending your life or someone else's life, you can only brandish a firearm if you would be justified in shooting.

As a sidebar for the resident legal scholars: The self defense statute defines "deadly force", but that definition is limited only to self defense, and does not apply to defense of property. There is a general definition of "force" for all of the criminal statutes, which does not exclude deadly force, There is no general definition of deadly force, that I can see.

When I look at all of this in totality, it appears that a person can aim at someone to get them off their lawn in TN without having to prove reasonable fear of death or serious injury. Now this goes against a lot of civilian self defense training, which basically follows some crude version of the Sikh custom that you don't unsheath a blade without drawing blood. But that is obviously something that advanced operators like LEOs and military will train around as they learn trigger discipline, threat assessment, situational awareness, etc.
