Canada: Shot prompts thieves to make their exit: "A jewellery store robbery in downtown Vancouver went wrong for the thieves yesterday when a store employee pulled out a gun and fired at least one shot. The three men ran outside and sped away in a silver car. They left behind some smashed cases at the store on Robson Street but it's not clear if any jewellery was taken. No one was hurt."


CA: Two shot in struggle for gun: "Deputies responding to the 10:30 a.m. shooting call found a male with a gunshot wound lying in the front yard, just a few feet from the weapon that deputies believe was used against him. The man, shooting victim Ben Daisy, was airlifted at 10:55 a.m. to Desert Regional Medical Center for treatment. Suspect Justin King also was transported to the Palm Springs hospital. According to Porter, King went to Daisy’s house with a 9 mm handgun and the intent of robbing him. Porter said King let himself into Daisy’s house, where a struggle ensued. The gun fired once, injuring King in the right leg and Daisy in the upper abdomen/lower chest area. At this point a third person, known only as Josh, joined the struggle. The gun was dropped inside the house, picked up and then dropped outside the house. King ran south from the house, chased by Josh with a shovel. Josh caught up with King on Lupine Road just south of Siesta, where he struck the young man in the upper body and head with the shovel, subduing the man until deputies arrived on the scene. King had not been arrested by Tuesday afternoon because he was still being treated at Desert Regional, the sergeant said. Porter does expect deputies to arrest the man, who could be facing charges of residential robbery and attempted murder."


The university of the totally disarmed: “Many universities ban firearms, but some research I’ve been doing reveals that some universities ban firearms and stun guns and chemical defensive sprays, either in dorm rooms or in the university as a whole. This basically leaves students entirely without any defensive weapons, and also has the effect of disarming dorm residents when they go off campus property, since they have no place to store the defensive weapons when they’re back on campus.”


Breaking down 60 Minutes’ anti-gun bias: “ABC’s 20/20 did a hit piece on the Second Amendment and armed citizens on Friday night. The show responded to the growing sentiment that ‘if I only had a gun,’ maybe an armed citizen could make a difference in a spree shooting such as the incidents at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University. In reality, it ought to be called ‘if I had ONLY a gun.’ Picking people without concealed carry permits to represent the armed citizen and rigging the scenario to ensure that they don’t defeat your narrative is propaganda, not journalism.”
