People You Know Can Be a Threat

The gun-hating part of the Left loves to go on about the fact that if you own a gun, you are more likely to shoot someone you know than a complete stranger. There is a very good reason for that. Complete strangers are rarely a threat, while the set of all people you know can be. Man dead after domestic shooting in a Floyd County apartment

This story is about a mother and her two adult sons. So not just someone known to them, but family.

Around 5:40 a.m. the Floyd County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) received reports about a domestic altercation at an apartment on Mel Smith Road, just outside of New Albany. According to the FCSO, shots were fired moments before deputies arrived on scene.

Upon arrival, deputies immediately performed first aid to an adult male who had been shot.

Cops provided first aid to the guy who got shot, and had him transported to a local hospital, but he died from his injuries.

Preliminary reports indicate the shooting may have happened out of self-defense.

While this is a case involving family, the set of people you know, can be quite large. The guy at your favorite coffee shop. A disgruntled ex-employee. Ex-boyfriend or girlfriend turned stalker. etc. These are all people you know, and everyone of them can be a threat to life or safety.

The claim of the gun-hating part of the Left about people you know, is not to illuminate the subject of self-defense, but to make people afraid of it. And while this will certainly be viewed as a tragedy by the family involved, if it is in fact self-defense, it was also necessary. Do you defend yourself, or a family memeber from another family member, or let the agressor kill someone?

New Albany, Indiana, and Floyd County, are just across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.

Self-defense is a human right.
