MEDICINE LODGE, Kan. � A Kansas undersheriff who fatally shot a man with a beanbag round last year was charged Wednesday with involuntary manslaughter.

Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents on Wednesday arrested Barber County Undersheriff Virgil "Dusty" Brewer, 60. He was charged in the Oct. 6, 2017 death of Steven Myers, 42, of Sun City.

The lawsuit contends police video shows Myers was unarmed and not threatening officers or trying to escape before Brewer shot him.

Submitter's Note: A bean bag fired from a shotgun is not non-lethal at close range. It's good that police are not getting away with the things that they would have not very long ago. It's hard to lie and cover up when there is video showing what actually happened

The National Rifle Association is firing back at California and defending its decision to offer insurance policies to its members.

The NRA says it did nothing wrong by selling insurance that covers legal costs for injury or damage from legally using a gun.

On Tuesday, the State Department of Insurance issued a cease and desist order charging that the NRA sold the product without a state license.

The order demands they stop selling what they call a "self-defense insurance policy" called Carry Guard.

The prosecutor's office of Tatarstan decided to cancel the institution of criminal proceedings against businessman Yevgeny Dedanin, who killed two robbers entering his house. This is reported on the website of the supervisory authority.

The prosecutor's office conducted a check and did not agree with the findings of the investigators who established that Dedanin exceeded the limits of necessary self-defense. Since the robbers created �a real danger to the life of the defending person,� the entrepreneur�s actions were recognized as permissible. In particular, the men who broke into the businessman�s house threatened him and his wife with weapons and tried to knock the knife out of his hand.

It�s been more than a year since Jessika Peppers died and her mom, Carol, is still plagued with the question, �Why?�

It�s �definitely not how the story was supposed to end, that�s for sure,� said Peppers.

Jessika�s ex-boyfriend, David Love, admitted to killing her inside his home in August 2017. He told police he had shot her in self-defense and at the time did not see Jessika.

Police ruled the shooting was self-defense, so prosecutors did not charge him.

... interpreting the arcane language of �the right to keep and bear arms� to guarantee a right to keep a working handgun in your home for self-defense. This despite ample historical evidence that a primary concern of the drafters of the Second Amendment was to quell Southern States� concerns over federal control of the �well-regulated militia.�

Other less macho rights � the right to decide whether to have an abortion or to marry your same-sex partner � find little mention in the historical record. Scalia�s contempt for such modern notions as bodily integrity, self-determination, freedom of conscience, dignity, respect, or intimacy is echoed in the historical record against which he and his ilk would frame the Constitution.

The �Make My Day� law, properly �18-1-704.5. Use of deadly physical force against an intruder, has several substantive sections: one relaxes the proportionality requirement when dealing with a home intruder under certain circumstances. Two others provide for criminal and civil immunity under those same circumstances.

A southwestern Indiana jury has acquitted of murder a 21-year-old man whose attorney argued self-defense in the shooting death of a motel co-manager.

The Gibson Superior Court jury deliberated for more than four hours Wednesday after two days of testimony in the trial of 21-year-old Anthony Christian Hoskins of Oakland City. He was charged with murder in the Feb. 7 shooting death of Steve Hess of Oakland City's Diplomat Motel.

Hess died in the motel parking lot after Hoskins fired a handgun while Hess followed him outside during a dispute over whether Hoskins' sister had violated the motel's policy prohibiting drug use in her room.

Ms. Andrews and Dr. Evans are simply touting the Democrat Party mantra. Government is the convening authority over freedoms. Individuality and independence should be measured out at the discretion of bureaucracy in the new Democrat socialist view.

The mask is off the Democrats like never before. A self-reliant, self-made, and self-defended citizen is the �too far� the Democrats decry, too far out of the control of government. They prefer a controlled citizenry.
