Why Do I Carry? Because Thugs Like These Will Shoot You For Making Eye Contact
Bearing Arms ^ | August 29, 2016 | Bob Owens

A cousin of NBA basketball star Dwyane Wade was shot and killed by a pair of serial offenders in Chicago on Friday because the two thugs didn’t like it when a taxi driver dared to make eye contact with them.

A pair of brothers released from jail on parole have been charged with fatally shooting Nykea Aldridge, cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade, in Chicago.

Darwin Sorells, 26, and 22-year-old brother Derren, who are both documented gang members, were charged with first-degree murder Sunday over the death of Aldridge, 32, a mother-of-four.

Both are repeat gun offenders, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson confirmed, and both were out on parole at the time of the killing.

Speaking about Darwin, Johnson said he is a six-time weapon offender who was jailed in 2013 for six years for another gun crime but released on parole in February.

Hundreds of dead Chicagoans, and the only one that matters to hillary is the slain cousin of a famous millionaire athlete. Campaign contribution much?

Just wondering here - so, how many times do you have to be convicted of gun offenses in Chicago in order to get into serious trouble. Sounds like a catch and release program.

Bubba caught a mess of undersize fish and kept them.
The game warden walks up, looks at the fish on the stringer and says, “What do you think you’re doing?
Bubba thinks fast and says, “These are my pet fish from a little pond in my back yard. I like to let them stretch their fins, then I whistle them in.”

The warden shakes his head.

“Let me c.f.show you,” and Bubba lets them off the stringer one-by-one.”

After a couple minutes went by, “OK, that’s long enough.” says the lawman. “Whistle them fish in.”

“What fish?” says Bubba.

Eye contact is right! I was driving in heavy traffic when I looked at a black teen in the car next to me. He must not have liked the way I looked at him because he went kind of nuts. He was waving his arms around and yelling something. I gave him a big happy smile and was able to get away from him. He must have been high on something.

"Remember the seven magic words: “I was in fear for my life”"

That is part of our home defense protocol. We secure ourselves behind a locked door; the wife calls 9/11 and says, "We are having a home invasion. We are in fear for our lives"; she stays on the phone while laying on the floor and I point the 12guage at the door.

Question: Good or bad idea to yell out to the intruders that the police are on the way? Yes, it let's them know where you are, but if just burglars, they may leave. Also, I know better than to go hunting around the house in the dark when awakened by intruders. They have the advantage of dealing with the dark - I just woke up or have been watching TV with lights on.

One need not be under the influence of mind altering drugs to be a complete jackass. I doubt he was "high" on anything.

"My suggestion is get out of CA ASAP. Move to a free state. Then purchase what you want and practice with it ... often."

Like many, we can't just leave due to job and family obligations. Although, since my Wife's Father probably won't make it to year end, I'm going to ask her to resign and live on our savings.

Talking to a realtor in the Phoenix area, but the heat would probably kill me. Maybe Flagstaff, AZ or Reno, NV which is my preference.

"(...and don't forget to "lose" that phony 3-round restrictor in the magazine)"

Already done. Pulled that stupid plastic plug some time back. Going to have the local gunsmith during my "famfire" replace the mag.

I get it, shoot to kill. Surely, you're aware of the damage big game load can do? BTW, I know how to shoot from the hip, under the arm, and in the shoulder. I live in the suburbs where houses are just a feet from each other. That and criminal/civil suits is why I have game load in the first 2 rounds.

Yes, I'll be moving out of this Socialist state soonest. See my above post.

"Check out the Troy AR15 pump action rifle."

Just checked them out. Didn't know they existed. It's a good compromise until we get out of Commifornia. I like all the rails (light/laser)and folding stock. The work around the "odious" 10 round mag is to have plenty loaded and handy.

Again, a rifle is only if the BLM's move on our suburbs. I won't wait for them to be inside and neither will my neighbors. Doubt the zombies would be unarmed and think molotov cocktails. They light the fuse, we light them up. Legalities be damned at that point. However, we've agreed that we're not going to kill anyone for throwing rocks.

"Don’t say ANYTHING (except legally required information about identification) until you have a lawyer present."

I've been told by 2 LEO's and 2 range experts to call 9/11 and say "experiencing a home invasion...we are in fear for our lives". Those words even work in Commifornia. And to stay on the line...

I think our home invasion protocol is sound. We've even practiced on both storys of the house and in different rooms, including crawling along the living/family room floor to a lockable room and whispering to 9/11 as the Wife hides her best and I point the 870 at the door.

I was also told that if hearing the intruders just outside the door it usually helps to let them know the police are on the way and have a shotgun pointing at them. Of course that depends on how determined the intruders are and can piss them off and fire at the door. Of course, we would be prone and off axis to where he/they most likely shoot. What do you think?
