Some guy you might know gets quoted

In the aftermath of the Garner man getting cited for discharge of a firearm within town limits, I go interviewed by Jackie Faye, on camera. Unfortunately she hasn’t been able to upload the video to the website yet, but she did quote me in the print version.


I’ll post the video when it shows up. Assuming I don’t look or sound as stupid as I felt during the interview.

UPDATE: You can watch the video here

  1. Sean,

    I am curious as to why you wouldn't intervene if someone's property was being stolen?

    Wouldn't you want someone to stop a thief from stealing your car? From walking out with your firearms or mementoes or medicine or TV?
    Wouldn't you want someone to stand up for the law?

    The police are an extension for the people; not a replacement.

    If we don't take a stand and "say stealing is wrong" by doing something about it; wouldn't we be condoning that action?

  2. @BobS: Jackie asked me if I would intervene physically, with gun drawn, to stop someone from robbing my neighbors house. I said I probably wouldn't. I told her that I'd call 911, get pictures, license plate, maybe yell at them, but as for drawing a gun? Not unless they came after me. The consequences are too great.

    If I go across the street and physically confront the criminals, only two things can happen. Either they surrender immediately, or someone dies. And it isn't going to be me dying. Unfortunately, in our degraded society, they don't give out medals for shooting robbers. They try to convict you of murder.

    Now if they are harming my neighbor, even just by threatening him? I'm coming in hot and they are going to leave the scene feet first in a bag. I'd take that legal risk for a person, but not for a car or a TV.

Like what you read? Have extra money and want to donate it to a good cause? Look on the right sidebar for the Paypal button labled "Contribute to the 'Buy a Kriss Vector' fund" All proceeds go to funding my purchase of a Kriss Vector SBR and suppressor.

Anyone (except for MikeB302000) can post.

Don’t be more of an ass than me. Your words, though they are on my blog, are your own. I didn’t write them. If they are stupid, ill considered, or bigoted, it’s your problem.

Criminal threats will be reported to the appropriate authorities for the appropriate action.
