CA: 84-Year-Old Neighbor Gets Gun, Stops Knife Attack by Victims Son

Homicide detectives determined the suspect, Jeremy Koger, was at the home of his father and step-mother, identified as Jerry Koger, 58, and Lorain Corral, 55. For reasons, still unknown, he attacked them with a knife.

According to a sheriff’s news release, “both victims ran outside and sought help from neighbors, and Jeremy left the location. While neighbors called 911 and assisted Jerry and Lorain, Jeremy returned and began attacking Lorain again with a knife.”

A neighbor ran into his home, armed himself with a gun, and yelled at Jeremy to stop, but he continued stabbing Lorain, officials said. At that time the neighbor, an 84-year-old man, shot Jeremy and stopped the attack. The neighbor was shaken up but not injured.

TN: Man Uses Pistol to Scare off Dogs, Dog Owner Threatens him with Shotgun

HCSO reports Pruner put up the pistol and planned to go talk to his neighbor, Phillip Williams, about the dogs killing his livestock.

Pruner said Williams, 60, pulled up in a red Ford F-150 at the same time he got to the road. Williams allegedly got out of the truck with a “short-barreled pump shotgun in his hand,” according to the report.

According to Pruner, Williams pointed the gun at both him and his wife and said “I’m tired of you” and claimed he would shoot them if Pruner had shot his dogs.

 HCSO reports the two argued for several minutes while Pruner tried to de-escalate the situation out of fear for their lives. Pruner said he told Williams “he did not want to feud with him like the Hatfield and McCoys” and he just wanted Williams to keep his dogs off their property.

Modern Sporting Rifles as Bear Stoppers? They Worked in Every Recorded Incident

Before I graduated from high school, I overheard the older brother of a close friend talking about shooting a bear. The bear had been discovered in a den, during the Wisconsin deer season. As I recall, in 1968, such a harvest would have been legal. 

 

The older brother was a Vietnam veteran. He approached the den with another vet. The brother suggested the other vet poke into the den to see if the bear were still there. 

 

The other veteran said no, he would not do it. The brother said, well, in Vietnam, you went into holes to get Charlie. 

 

Whereupon, the other veteran said: yes, but I had a different rifle then. (speaking of the M16). 

He considered the M16 a superior gun for close range bear defense than the common 30-30, whether Winchester 94 or Marlin 336.

At the time, I thought it strange someone would prefer a .223  rifle to a 30-30 or larger caliber rifle.

 

50 years and considerable time investigating actual defensive shootings of bears later, my opinion has become less certain.

Of the defensive bear shootings I have found, four of them were with rifles reasonably characterized as semi-automatic civilian versions of popular military rifles.

All four defensive shootings were successful. Modern sporting rifles most commonly are AR15 or AK47 style semi-automatic rifles. They are the most popular rifles in today's America. It is certain more bears will be shot with them in the future.  Here are the four incidents:

From 2008, a polar bear in Alaska, from AmmoLand: 

The .223 is more capable than many realize. One .223 round has more energy than most .44 magnum rounds.  From alaskareport.com

According to a story in the Fairbanks News-Miner, the polar bear charged straight at Cadzow who didn't have time to lift and sight his rifle.

"I shot from the hip, seven or eight times," he said. "If I had gotten it to my shoulder, it (bear) would have been on top of me. It happened so quick, by the time it was down, it was about 10 feet from my feet," according to the News-Miner.

The bear was in good condition. It was not starving.

In 2013, an Alaskan hiker encountered a 600 lb grizzly who charged him. Several 5.45x39 rounds from an AK74 (a later version of the AK47) were sufficient to stop the attack.

 From alaskapublic.org:   28 July, 2013 AK74 5.45x39 caliber. Two volleys, 13 shots total.

The incident took place between McHugh Creek and Rainbow along Turnagain Arm.

The man stayed at the scene and had a cellphone so he could report it.

He said he came upon the bear and made noise and the bear responded by charging him.

The weapon was an AK-74, a smaller caliber weapon than the AK-47.

 The third incident occurred in Blount County, Tennessee, in October of 2019. 

This correspondent was able to contact the game warden who investigated the incident. The warden said the defender used an AR15 style rifle. He believed it was chambered for the .223 cartridge. He said the defender fired several shots to put down the bear. The bear had shown no fear of humans, and was threatening the shooters dog.

 
Here is a Youtube video of the bear before it was shot.

The fourth incident happened in Galena, Nevada, a bit south of Reno, in June of 2020. From the AmmoLand story:

On June 19, at about 2:30 a.m., a homeowner in Galena, Nevada, just south of Reno, head noises as if someone were attempting to break into his house. He exited the house with an AR15 style rifle chambered in 6.8 SPC.

A large black bear challenged him and started coming toward him. He shot the bear once, then as the bear appeared to be suffering, shot it again. After an extended investigation, the Nevada Department of Wildlife, NDOW reported no charges would be filed, as the shooting appeared to be self-defense.

It is a small sample. One polar bear, one grizzly bear, two black bears.

The stories illustrate one of the major reasons the M16 was adopted by the US military: the ability to accurately and rapidly place multiple shots on target. A .223 cartridge has about the same energy as a .44 magnum.  The  5.45x39 is very close. The 6.8 SPC is a bit more energetic. Applied rapidly to an aggressive bear, they all can be very effective in stopping an attack. 

I would not recommend a .223 as the best choice to hunt bears. There is a large difference between hunting bears and defending against bears. 

Defense against bears is going to take place at close range. In that scenario, the modern sporting rifle seems to work well.

CO: Mass Killing Stopped by Armed Resident in Oak Creek

OAK CREEK, Colo. (CBS4) – A man accused of shooting three people at two different locations was shot and killed by a citizen. Investigators believe 46-year-old Steven Padilla shot a man in a neighborhood in Oak Creek Wednesday afternoon — then drove a few blocks away and started shooting at a mobile home park.

(snip)

Once inside, investigators say Padilla tried to shoot a man, but his handgun malfunctioned. The man tackled Padilla — but Padilla was able to fire off several more shots. The man was killed and a woman was wounded.

That’s when another man in the home got a gun and shot Padilla, killing him.

PA: Followup to Erie Gun Range Armed Samaritan Shooting, no Charges

Image  screenshot from video  cropped and scaled by Dean Weingarten

Additional details have been released by the Erie County District Attorney's office in the rare attack and defensive shooting at the State Game Lands Shooting Range 109. The incident happened on 22 December, 2020.

From yourerie.com:

On December 22nd, 2020, a group of four friends made way to the Pennsylvania Game Lands in Greene Township to test out a recently purchased Beretta nine millimeter handgun.

Five people were directly involved in the shooting. Two have been identified. The attacker was Robert A. Eppley, 26 years old, who had served as a Marine. His fiancee, said to be pregnant with his child, was present. He shot his long term friend, Michael Patterson, 28 years old. Patterson's girlfriend was also present.

The person who shot Epply, to stop the attack, was an unnamed 67-year-old man. 

The two couples had come to the gun range a little before 2 p.m. to shoot a Beretta 9mm pistol which Patterson had recently purchased. 

A little while after they arrived the 67-year-old man arrived and set up on the pistol firing point to their immediate left.  He was firing a Ruger .22 caliber pistol. There are only three pistol firing points at the range.

Shortly after 2 p.m., the four friends had been taking turns shooting the Beretta. Robert Epply  had reloaded the pistol and fired about five shots downrange.  He abruptly turned to his right and commenced firing at Patterson. One report states he fired at Patterson and "his girlfriend". 

This correspondent has been unable to determine if "his girlfriend" refers to Epply's fiance or to Patterson's girlfriend. From goerie.com:

Eppley then turned to his right and began firing the handgun at Patterson and his girlfriend, Daneri said. Patterson was shot five times and was taken to UPMC Hamot for treatment before being released from the hospital later that night. 

The 67-year-old Erie man then used his 22 mm Ruger pistol to shoot Eppley five times — twice on his rib cage and three times in the back — Daneri said.

If Eppley fired at one of the women, he missed. Patterson was hit five times. It appears the hits were not to vital organs, as he was released from the hospital later that night. 

Upon seeing Eppley shooting at Patterson, and possibly one of the women, the 67-year-old armed Samaritan opened fire with his Ruger .22 pistol. 

He hit Eppley five times, twice in the ribcage and three times in the back, presumably as Eppley turned during his attack on the others.

Both Patterson and Eppley were hit five times. Patterson with a 9mm, Eppley with a .22 rimfire.  Patterson was released from the hospital the same day. Eppley was quickly disabled and died at the scene. 

Both shootings were at close range, about 10 feet. 

After Eppley went down, the 67-year-old attempted to render first aid, and called 911. Eppley was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Where people are hit is more important than what they are hit with, at least for common pistol calibers.

The autopsy of Eppley revealed his blood alcohol level to be .21, more than double what is considered legally under the influence in most states. 

The Erie County DA found the shooting to be justified. He stated no  charges will be brought against the armed Samaritan, and no motive for the attack on Patterson was determined.

NICS, Gun Sales, 2021 sets Record in January

The National Instant background Check System (NICS) set a record for the most checks done in any month, ever, since the system started in 1998. There were a total NICS 4,317,804 checks done in January. The next highest month was in December of 2020, with 3,937,066 checks. 

As readers of this correspondent know, an increasing number of NICS checks are done for things other than gun sales, primarily for gun carry permits and permit rechecks. The formula used to approximate the number of actual gun sales uses numbers supplied by the FBI. 

It is Checks for handguns + Checks for longguns + Checks for other guns + (Checks for multiple sales of guns x 2.5) = number of guns sold.

Using that formula the, numbers of guns sold was  about 2.018 million in January of 2021. The number sold in December of 2020, last month, was about 1.90 million. The highest number of guns sold in any month, as recorded by NICS, was in December of 2015, when about 2.22 million were sold.  

Most January sales have dropped off after the Christmas/end of year rush. This year sales increased. Here are some previous January gun sales levels, as estimated by NICS numbers: 

January 2017 -  1,049,441

January 2018 -    989,275

January 2019 -   1,002,952

January 2020 -   1,132,183

January 2021 has roughly twice the average number of sales for January in the last four years. 

Most popular models of firearms, and many not so popular models, are difficult to find in retail stores, or online. 

Obtaining ammunition requires diligent searching, and the willingness/ability to pay much higher than normal prices for nearly all calibers. 

This is the first time, ever, this correspondent has seen a shortage of 12 gauge bird shot loads. The last known shortage of those loads in the United States was during World War II.

The reasons for the enormous increase in demand for firearms and ammunition, which inevitably lead to shortages of supply, are clear to this correspondent.

First is the heavily contested election of former Vice President Joe Biden as President.  President Biden has promised more infringements on Second Amendment rights than any previous president.  When people believe they may no longer be able to obtain what they want, in the future, they purchase it now, while they can.

Add 9 or 10 million new gun owners (about 8.4 million in 2020, and another .8 million in January of 2021) who now need ammunition, and are uncertain of a future supply, due to possible regulatory crackdowns.  Ammunition is said to be back ordered for two years in the future.

It has been reported between 1/3 and 1/2 of American citizens believe there is a 50/50 chance of civil war in the next decade. It is a frightening possibility.  The United States, of all the countries in the world, is one of the very few who have not experienced significant war on their territory in the last 150 years.

People who believe a civil war is imminently possible would reasonably be expected to take actions to prepare for the possibility.

Actions such as: purchase storable food, rural property, get their passports in order, save money, talk to their neighbors about assisting each other, and, yes, purchase guns and ammunition (or be glad to have done so already).

As disenchantment with the Biden administration is likely to escalate, the demand for guns and ammunition is unlikely to be satiated. 

Expect two years, minimum, of high ammunition prices and difficulty in obtaining the exact ammunition you want.

Correction on Fireworks and Flashbangs at 6 Jan Capitol Protest inDC

Injury of Trump Supporter at Protest at the Capitol in DC, 6 January, 2021 about two hours after the impact. 

After receiving new information from additional sources, this correction is in order. The booms heard on the west side of the Capitol, a bit before 2 p.m. were not commercial grade fireworks as I wrote earlier. They were flashbang grenades launched by the Capitol Police.  From the previous article:

I could not detect any real leadership or strategy. Masses kept coming. People were frustrated. There was a little pulling on barricades at the choke point, the scaffolding where there appeared to be an entryway to the Capitol. I caught a whiff of pepper spray from the intersection of the crowd and Capitol Police, near the scaffolding, and moved upwind to the North of the crowd.  What appeared to be several commercial-grade fireworks were thrown at the police.

This correspondent did not see any devices, other than water bottles, thrown at the Capitol Police. The water bottles did not appear to be frozen (clear, not frosted). They were thrown after the first booms were heard. This shows how previous conceptions can color our perceptions.

The new sources offered first person accounts of what they observed from a position very close to the scaffolding on the west side of the Capitol. 

The sources started at the Washington monument. They had a similar experience to mine. They could not make out what President Trump was saying, but they could occasionally catch a snatch of clear speech from people who were somehow streaming the President's speech to small boomboxes or portable speakers. Before the President ended his speach, they started walking toward the Capitol.

They followed the group ahead of them across the Capitol grounds to within 20 yards of the balcony which faces west toward the Mall.  When they arrived, there were only a couple of hundred protestors near the scaffolding. That places them there before I heard the booms, in the correct place and time to observe what happened.

More and more people were showing up and pushing from behind. 

They witnessed the few Capitol Police which were originally there. They witnessed the reinforcement of the Capitol police which I also witnessed.

The sources saw the police reinforcements bring weapons which could launch pepper spray, rubber bullets, and it turned out, flashbangs, were brought forward by the Capitol Police reinforcements.

The sources only saw one person with a rubber bullet launcher, which was used to fire toward the group near the bottom of the scaffolding.

The sources also saw a weapon which turned out to be used to launch flashbang grenades. 

One of them  was hit by a flashbang which knocked him down and created the injury shown, through a pair of heavy denim jeans.

The man who was hit saw a projectile coming toward them. He pushed a protestor out of the way. That projectile passed over their head, but a second flashbang, which he did not see coming, hit him in the thigh, exploded on contact, and knocked him over.

At least one maker of flashbang projectiles produces rounds, the MP-4-FB-4 or the MP-40-FB-4,  which fires multiple flashbang projectiles with one shot.  Warnings on the munition indicates they are not to be aimed directly at individuals. From nonlethaltechnologies.com:

WARNING

Do not fire directly at personnel or serious injury or death may occur

The flashbangs were reportedly fired from the balcony area where the Capitol Police were, before water bottles were thrown. This is consistent of my hearing the loud booms before the water bottles were thrown at the Mall side. Only a few water bottles were thrown, as I recall, perhaps four or five.

The right and middle left officers of the group of four appear to have projectile weapons. The single officer to the right of the group appears to have a camera.  Image courtesy Dean Weingarten

The sources confirmed the rubber bullets and flash bangs were fired at protestors who were only standing and chanting.

One chant remembered by the sources was: 

Whose house is this? Our house!

The sources' best estimate of the time of the flash bangs was a little before 2 p.m. local, which would have been about 45 minutes to an hour after reaching the Capitol. They do not recall looking at their watch.

After the injury was treated by EMT personal at the scene, the sources moved to the east side of the Capitol.  When there, they heard the chatter and saw a person through a window in the Capitol who carried a protest sign.

Their best estimate is they saw a person in the window of the east side of the Capitol at 3:00 p.m. local. This is consistent with what this correspondent witnessed.

One of the sources said they felt they represented at least a hundred people who had the same attitude, but could not make it to the event. 

A different source said he had a difficult time understanding why the people who were supposed to represent them, refused to listen. He characterized the media portrayal of the protestors as this:

"Now" he said, "Now we are worse than noise. Now we are pariahs."

After the sources saw how the events were portrayed, they said their already dim view of main stream media had turned to complete disillusionment. 

I have not read or heard of explosions anywhere else at the Capitol. 

It appears no commercial grade fireworks were thrown at the police on 6 January, 2021, at the Capitol in the District of Columbia. The booms which were heard on the west side of the Capitol were from flashbang grenades fired by the Capitol Police.

Right to Arms Amendment will be on Iowa Ballot in 2022

Barring further misadventure, the Iowa Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA) constitutional amendment will be presented to Iowa voters in the general election scheduled for 8 November, 2022.

The amendment passed the Iowa Senate 29-18. It passed the House 58 to 41. The votes were on strict party lines.

From the demoinesregister.com:

The Senate approved the resolution Thursday afternoon in a 29-18 vote along party lines after about two hours of debate. Hours later, the House voted 58-41, also along party lines, to pass the same measure. Both chambers are controlled by Republicans. Every Republican present voted in favor of the amendment, while every Democrat was opposed.

There were a few members which were not present for various reasons. 

Republicans control both houses of the Iowa legislature. There are 32 Republicans and 18 Democrats in the Iowa State Senate. There are 59 Republicans and 41 Democrats in the Iowa House of Representatives. There was one Republican in the House who was not present, and three Republican senators who were not present. Their absence did not make a difference in the outcome of the vote.

Here is the amendment. From iowa.gov:

Right to keep and bear arms. 

Sec. 1A. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.

Both Democrats and Republicans were willing to pass a constitutional amendment. The Republicans insisted the amendment actually protect the RKBA, by including the provision for strict scrutiny. 

Other states, such as Hawaii, have the same language as the US Constitution, but the amendment in Hawaii has not prevented severe infringements on the RKBA in Hawaii. 

Hawaii requires registration of firearms, special permission to purchase firearms, and refuses to allow open carry of firearms or to issue concealed carry permits to virtually all members of the public.

The Democrats were perfectly willing to pass an RKBA amendment, as long as it had no serious effect.

The Iowa procedure to pass a constitutional amendment is long and difficult. The amendment has to pass the legislature. Then and election must occur. Then the legislature has to pass the amendment again. The amendment will then be placed on the ballot for the next election.

In 2018, the legislature passed the amendment, but the Secretary of State failed to properly publish the amendment, as required by law. This negated the 2018 vote, requiring the process to start over. The Secretary of State apologized for the error. 

Iowa is one of only six states which do not have an RKBA amendment in their state constitutions. The other five states are: California, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York.

Several other states have passed RKBA provisions since 1997. 

Wisconsin Constitution’s Section 25, which protects the right to keep and bear arms, passed in 1998 with 74% of the vote.

Kansas passed an amendmeant in 2010 with 88% of the vote.

Louisiana passed an amendment in 2012 with 74% of the vote

Missouri passed an amendment in 2014 with 61% of the vote.

Alabama passed an amendment in 2014 with 72.5% of the vote.

No RKBA amendment, which has been presented to the people on a referendum, has been defeated in an election.
