The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – May 2024

The Good

Murder charge dismissed for Mobile man after hearing

The Bad

1 dead, 3 injured in gunfight during car break-in in Downtown Atlanta

This story sadly echoes the fate of Hollywood actor Johnny Wactor who was killed by felons trying to steal his catalytic converter.

The Ugly

Houston attorney shot and killed after fight with upset McDonald’s customer

Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote “Therefore no good deed is unrewarded, and so every good deed merits some good.” A countervailing viewpoint is often attributed to Clare Boothe Luce – “No good deed goes unpunished.”

Enjoy!

The GBU isn’t drawn from The Armed Citizen column of the official NRA Journals but the May edition of The Armed Citizen is attached. Rather than an obsessive interest in ‘the worst case scenario,’ it shows what the vast majority of Defensive Gun Uses really look like.

    In the New Woke World, everyone will be Required to be Armed, and in the event of a confrontation with Criminals, you will have to shoot Yourself! Several times if necessary.
