Gunfight in the wealthy suburbs.

Here's a story of a hero, a hero who died successfully protecting his home and family, and making for a safer neighborhood in Northern California. These crooks picked the wrong house!

The story was sent to me by an anti-gun friend of mine, a very close friend. If he thinks he's making his point, he's mistaken. He's made ours.

I agree that the man was a hero, but he paid an awful price.
Wonderful California, where in an upscale neighborhod "most people don't take solicitations from the door.."
 
The shooter in this case was ex-LEO. There is no warranty we will win. He faced overwhelming odds and did well for what he faced. It isn't like in the movies.

This happened a few weeks back...
Mr. Kim tried to defend his home with a .38, if I recall.
I wish he'd had a shotgun handy.

I wonder what the results would have been if Mr. Kim hadn't resisted (I'm NOT avocating that!!!). I wonder how likely the result would have been the entire Kim family slain by the perps.
 
As I wrote my anti-gun friend, why did the crooks show up and ring the damn doorbell at 6PM! Lights on, clearly people at home. These guys wanted a confrontation, otherwise they would have waited for the house to be empty, or they would have found another house to rob.

No, no question in my mind, these were sadistic puppies who needed to be put down.

Dr. Fang, not really an ex-LEO but a plastic surgeon who was a member of the sheriff's posse, guys who dress up and ride horses in parades (I grew up in that area), was fulfilling the true meaning of family values!

Joseph,
Maybe the perps are/were so brazen they just didn'ty give a damn. They were apparenly under the belief that there would be no resistance whatsoever. Why wouldn't they think that way? Hell, they're smack in the middle of the enlightened people, wealthy, upscale, educated. Why would they suspect any conflict. The Prez claims that most people want to walk around totally defenseless.

Yes, you're right, your anti-2nd friend(??) has decided to see this his way. So be it.
I suppose he will be happy when/if his own get raped and murdered by one of these vermin. I think he would just blame it on Gun Violence, even if they used a dull butter-knife as the weapon. What an idiot (sorry).

Dr. Fang was right to defend his own home from invasion. Apparently the security system was also forked up too???
No panic button to hit, so a computer terminal would alarm in Pennsylvania, to alert someone who happens to be on lunch break. And when they get back, they notify the local PD, who by the way, aren't there to protect the innocent victims.

I'll take my chances with the shotgun, and or sidearm, thank you.

Perhaps you friend should take a trip to another world. How about Indonesia? I think he might be surprised at the level of hostility going down there. Maybe enough to make him want to arm himself for personal protection. Then again, maybe not. He might want to go hug them, and reassure them he is their friend, and intends them no harm...


Best Regards,
Don

The most foolish mistake we could make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms; history shows that all conquerers who have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own fall.

Time to clear up a few misconceptions.

The "Contra Costa Sheriff's Posse" that Kim Fang belonged to was a later incarnation under that name. The early horseback/parade group (earlier than that, a horseback search and rescue team) had been disbanded in the late 60s or early 70s when one guy broke his neck during a parade.

"Posse2" which Fang was in with is purely a social/political club with no law enforcement functions or official connections. People join purely to gain access to local politics, primarily the Sheriff. There are over 300 members, and they hold the majority of the CCW permits in this county.

Fang "paid a high price" for his self defense rights long before that shootout. $700 in campaign contributions to the current Sheriff (Rupf) to ensure his CCW renewals, several $thousand to Sheriff Rainey who issued to him back in '89 I think, or close.

I've been able to track $21,000 in campaign contributions from the tiny pool of permitholders (236 current) to Sheriff Rupf. That doesn't include corporate donations that could be linked to the CCW of a company president or VP. And this county has a population over 900,000.

If it's not clear yet: unless you're a government employee or a personal friend or political supporter of the Sheriff, you ain't getting a permit around here. I've fought one lawsuit on the subject already, another is brewing - see my site below for details.

I don't begrudge Kim Fang his right to self defense...but as a resident of the same county living in a lower-income mostly-black town (Richmond) that has been redlined by the Sheriff from all CCW access, I'm fighting for the SAME RIGHT FANG HAD.
