Where Have Our Cojones Gone?

[QT3.14]

Last week in Boston, a seven-year-old boy named Mark got into a fight with a bully. The bully put his hands around the boy's throat and began to squeeze. That's when Mark fought back; he kicked his aggressor right in the family jewels. In a normal society, we'd celebrate Mark. Throw him a ticker tape parade or something. Bullies need a sharp kick to the testicles. That's how you convince them that bullying is wrong.

But in Boston, Mark was charged with sexual assault.

FRiends, as a lifelong resident of Massachusetts you have no idea how much I worry about ever having to use my night-stand sidearm in the way God intended.

Should I pop some intruder inside my house, there is absolutely no question that I would face the full legal workup. I could be covered with defensive wounds, or even fighting for my life in the intensive care unit, and still they’d prosecute me every crime they could dream up. Assault with a deadly weapon would only be the start.

Self-defense? Castle Doctrine? Never heard of either in Massachusetts. And I’m one of the lucky few to hold a License to Carry, which allows me to own and even purchase (if it’s on the Secretary of State’s “approved” list) handguns.

You have no idea.
