Protecting our futures and our families against evil men is a fundamental human right. If you are anything like me, the alternative--to live at the mercy of evil people--is simply unacceptable. I will not.

"There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men."- Edmund Burke

There were 5.8 million murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, and sexual assaults in the US There are another 17.1 million burglaries and thefts. That's a significant crime for every 13.5 people. In one year alone.

RTC reduces crime: Studying crime trends in every county in the U.S., economist John Lott and David Mustard concluded, “allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes. . . . [W]hen state concealed handgun laws went into effect in a county, murders fell by 8.5 percent, and rapes and aggravated assaults fell by 5 and 7 percent.”8

RTC success: Florida has issued the most carry permits–nearly 2 million—but revoked only 168 (0.008 percent) due to gun crimes by permit-holders.Source NRA ILA

Guns are used for self-protection between

2.1-2.5 million times annually.

Arkansas Code Annotated 5-73-120. Carrying a Weapon. (a) A person commits the offense of carrying a weapon if he or she

possesses a handgun, knife, or club on or about his or her person, in a vehicle occupied by him or her, or otherwise readily available for use with a purpose to attempt to unlawfully employ the handgun, knife, or club as a weapon against a person.

(b) As used in this section: (3) "Journey" means travel beyond the county in which a person

lives; (c) It is permissible to carry a handgun under this section if at the

time of the act of carrying a weapon: (4) The person is carrying a weapon when upon a journey, unless

the journey is through a commercial airport when presenting at the security checkpoint in the airport or is in the person's checked baggage and is not a lawfully declared weapon;

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel Opinion Opinion No. 2013-047 July 8, 2013

“I do not interpret Act 746 as authorizing so-called “open carry.” To the contrary, the journey exception applies only to “travel beyond the county in which a person lives” -- a narrow range of activity inconsistent with the concept of “open carry.” Whether one is “traveling” beyond his or her county, so as to be on a “journey” for purposes of Act 746, will be a question of fact determined initially at the time of police intervention. Generally, however, it is my opinion that Act 746 does not in itself permit a person to possess a handgun outside of his or her vehicle or other mode of transportation while on a journey outside his or her county of residence.”

“Thou Shall Not Kill” The rest of the story;

Homicide is the taking of another human life. Such taking, however, may be legal, such as in lawful self defense. Only if the taking of life was illegal does it qualify as murder

King David was honored for killing tens of thousands in combat, but considered a murderer when he murdered an innocent man, Uriah.

21

Are you capable of using deadly force?

Am I prepared to take the life of another human being to save my own life or the life of a family member?

Does my religion permit taking a life in self defense?

Am I prepared to tolerate the judgment of others if I must defend myself with lethal force?

22

Tool of LAST RESORT

The best way to win a confrontation is to avoid a confrontation.

Exhaust all possibilities for a non-deadly resolution to the encounter.

Imminent Danger: The threat of bodily harm must be immediate.

Be a good witness, do not provide a written or recorded statement. Point out relevant evidence then shut up.

Memory Loss, Adrenaline, Confusion

Your family should have a list of people to call

31

Harold Fish was hiking in Coconino County when a man with a violent history and his two dogs attacked him. Mr. Fish fired a warning shot at the dogs to keep them from attacking him. Grant Kuenzli then attacked Mr. Fish while yelling death threats. Mr. Fish was forced to fire at Kuenzli, killing him at point blank range. What Mr. Fish did not know, and could not know, was the violent history of Grant Kuenzli. A history, among many other facts of the case, that the judge and prosecutor would not allow in court for the jury to consider.

Full Metal Jacket The bullet does not expand as hunting bullets are

designed to. They stand a better chance of reaching through to an enemy that is behind moderate cover, such as behind a vehicle, for example.

41

Hollow Pont (HP), is a bullet that has a pit, or hollowed out shape, in its tip, generally intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target in order to decrease penetration and disrupt more tissue as it travels through the target.

CHL Holders are entitled to the following privileges:

You can be charged with crimes

You, the defendant, must show the act was a justified shooting

57

Second Degree Murder 5-10-103 …extreme indifference to the value of human life

Manslaughter 5-10-104…recklessly caused the death of another person

Battery 5-13-201……causes serious physical injury with a deadly

weapon

Aggravated Assault 5-13-204…committing a crime displaying, using or

threatening use of a weapon

58

Assault happens when you make someone fear immediate physical harm. The type of threat determines whether it is simple assault--you put someone in fear of your bare hands--or aggravated assault--you put someone in fear of your weapon.

Battery is the unwanted and deliberate touching of another person. As with assault, it can be either simple--you slapped someone--or aggravated--you shot someone but did not kill them.

59

What is deadly force? The force in which a person uses causing, or that a person

knows or should know would create a substantial risk of causing, death or serious bodily harm.

The use of Deadly Force is justified only under conditions of extreme necessity as a last resort, when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed.

When can deadly force be used? In the immediate or unavoidable threat of death or great bodily

injury to an innocent person. Three conditions must be met to use deadly force Intent: Words or actions from an attacker that would lead a

reasonable person to fear for your their safety. Ability: The attacker’s weapon, size, strength or number as

well of your lack of these things. Opportunity: The attacker must have access to kill or cause

great bodily harm

61

64

You must always be the victim not the aggressor

You must be able to prove you acted in self defense the burden of proof falls on you.

You have to show that your defensive actions were lawful. Fail to do so and you'll see your freedom will vanish like smoke in the air.

Self defense, as a legal defense, is only needed if you are charged with a crime.

Innocence. Do not start, forcibly sustain or escalate a fight.

Self Defense is a defense used only when you have been charged with a crime.

Play the role of the innocent and live the role of an innocent.

Branca, Andrew F. (2013-12-01). The Law of Self Defense

Imminence If an attack is imminent it is about to occur so quickly that it can't be avoided in any other way than with force.

Intent, Ability and Opportunity

Force used too soon or too late is not lawfully justified. Using force against another after the threat has passed is retaliation, not self defense.

Branca, Andrew F. (2013-12-01). The Law of Self Defense

69

Proportionality the force you use in self defense cannot be greater than the force you are threatened with.

Traditionally, deadly force can be used only against a deadly attack. Recently, though, states have carved exceptions to this rule. They include such scenarios as kidnapping, aggravated assault, an attack in your own home, and more.

Avoidance Do not go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things.

You probably shouldn't shoot an attacker if you can get away and call the police instead.

Duty to retreat only if can be safely accomplished.

Branca, Andrew F. (2013-12-01). The Law of Self Defense

71

Objective Reasonableness uses something called "the reasonable and prudent person." A figment of the legal imagination, the reasonable and prudent person has the rather annoying tendency to do everything the way it's supposed to be done.

Your actions will be judged in comparison to Reasonable Ralph. If he would do no differently, were he in your shoes, your actions would be deemed "reasonable.“ At that moment in time.

Branca, Andrew F. (2013-12-01). The Law of Self Defense

5-2-607. Use of deadly physical force in defense of a person.

(a) A person is justified in using deadly physical force upon another person if the person reasonably believes that the other person is:

(1) Committing or about to commit a felony involving force or violence;

(2) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force; or

(3) Imminently endangering the person's life or imminently about to victimize the person as described in 9-15-103 from the continuation of a pattern of domestic abuse.

(b) A person may not use deadly physical force in self-defense if the person knows that he or she can avoid the necessity of using deadly physical force with complete safety:

(1) (A) By retreating**.

(B) However, a person is not required to retreat if the person is:

(i) In the person's dwelling or on the curtilage surrounding the person's dwelling and was not the original aggressor; or

(ii) A law enforcement officer or a person assisting at the direction of a law enforcement officer; or

(2) By surrendering possession of property to a person claiming a lawful right to possession of the property.

(c) As used in this section:

(1) "Curtilage" means the land adjoining a dwelling that is convenient for residential purposes and habitually used for residential purposes, but not necessarily enclosed, and includes an outbuilding that is directly and intimately connected with the dwelling and in close proximity to the dwelling;

5-2-620. Use of force to defend persons and property within home.

(a) The right of an individual to defend himself or herself and the life of a person or property in the individual's home against harm, injury, or loss by a person unlawfully entering or attempting to enter or intrude into the home is reaffirmed as a fundamental right to be preserved and promoted as a public policy in this state.

(b) There is a legal presumption that any force or means used to accomplish a purpose described in subsection (a) of this section was exercised in a lawful and necessary manner, unless the presumption is overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

Attempts to conceal the crime can be considered as evidence of consciousness of guilt. A jury may properly consider an attempt to cover up one's connection to a crime as proof of a purposeful mental state. Evans v. State, 2004 Ark. App. LEXIS 951 (AR Ct. App. 2004)

Lying to police, not call the police in the first place, attempt to get witnesses to change their stories, hide or mess with evidence, or even not say something to police prior to arrest when an innocent person would.
