MI: Carjacker Dies after Being Shot: "Darrell Standberry said he's had a CCW for years and has never once fired his gun, but that all changed at a gas station on Detroit's west side Monday night. Having that gun may have saved Standberry's life. He pulled into a gas station, got out of his car and within a matter of seconds was reportedly being carjacked by a 19-year-old. "He jumped in the driver's seat and I asked him to get out of my vehicle," he told FOX 2's Alexis Wiley. That's when Standberry said the confrontation took a deadly turn. "He reached in his pants pocket or in between his (legs) like he was about to pull out a weapon," he explained. "I fired one time." The bullet hit the 19-year-old in the side. He took off in Standberry's SUV, then crashed about a block away. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The accused carjacker did have a gun on him. Police took Standberry into custody, but released him about an hour later."

Brit Riots Show Need For Right To Keep And Bear Arms: "Widespread rioting, arson and looting across London clearly demonstrates the need in any civilized society for the right to personal protection and the tools to make it possible, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. Rioting that reportedly began over the police shooting of a man over the weekend has now exploded into anarchy, leaving British citizens stunned and fearful. People have been forced to flee from their homes. CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb noted that in Great Britain, where firearms are so strictly regulated that relatively few people own them legally, and self-defense is treated like a criminal offense, citizens are literally at the mercy of the mob."
