Telma Boinville (above) lived on Oahu, Hawaii. To make ends meet, the 51-year-old substitute elementary school teacher cleaned houses. On the weekends and school holidays, Ms. Boinville sometimes had her eight-year-old daughter in tow . . .
She was working in an otherwise empty vacation house on Oahu’s famous North Shore when Kailey Dandurand, 20, and Stephen Brown, 23, entered.
At some point thereafter, one or the other or both of the invaders beat Ms. Boinville to death with a baseball bat, recovered at the scene. Responding police also found her daughter, alive, bound and gagged with duct tape.
The cops caught her murderers red-handed. Literally. foxnews.com:
Police sources told the station that Boinville’s credit card was found in Dandurand’s pocket when she and Brown were arrested Thursday night. They also had dried blood on their hands . . .
Police arrested Dandurand and Brown (above) at a Walmart.An angry mob watched and shouted obscenities as they were taken into custody.
On Friday, Dandurand and Brown laughed and smirked at news cameras when they were brought to the Honolulu Police Department headquarters to be booked.
Dandurand and Brown appeared in front of a judge Saturday. She was ordered held on $500,000 bail; he was ordered held on $1 million bail.
You might not think that a middle-aged woman cleaning a house in an island paradise would need to carry a gun to protect herself and her child. If so, you’d be wrong.
You might also think an American would be able to carry a gun legally if she so chose, given that the right to keep and bear arms is Constitutionally protected. If so, in this case, you’d be wrong. Hawaii hasn’t issued a concealed carry permit since the year 2000.
I’m not saying that Ms. Boinville would have saved her life if she’d been armed. I’m saying that she would have had a chance to eliminate the deadly threat against herself and her daughter if she’d been armed. To live to raise her daughter.
It should have been a defensive gun use.
Time for Floridians to start open carrying with little mini collapsible fishing poles on their belts I guess, #alwaysbefishingandcarrying… Just make sure that fishing license is up to date!
I’ve been stocking up for months.
That being said I am no attorney, but I don’t know why somoene doesn’t sue them using the Sherman Act for restraint of interstate commerce (restraint of trade).
All these people want do is get paid.
It’s just sickening. The lawyers are only there because they smell the possibility of money$. Greedy bastards!
No amount of money will bring those children back.
$25?
Where did that number come from, please?
PC 30312 (a)(2) includes “The ammunition vendor may charge the purchaser an administrative fee to process the transaction, in an amount to be set by the Department of Justice, in addition to any applicable fees that may be charged pursuant to the provisions of this title.”
Title 11, Division 5 of the California Code of Regulations does not yet have a fee specified. Proposed section 4263 (from Dec 1) suggests a fee not to exceed $5 for immediate delivery, or that plus a storage fee, in addition to the Department fee.
This not to say that any smaller amount makes sense, or that the law itself has any utility beyond harassing gun owners.
Before someone buys their first firearm and ammo they are looking at DROS $35, $50 for back round check for ammo buying permit, $5-25 ammo transfer fee + jacked up dealer price, guessing $25-35 for safety permit every 5 years to buy any firearm.
$135+/- just to start the process while paying 8%+ sales tax on both firearm and ammo.
We all thought 22LR was pricey a few years ago.
If funds are limited, like me, research your firearm wish and buy the ammo now .
It’s very entertaining when I hear how atheists say we should have no national borders, and any terrorist motivated by religion should be able to come here.
And the atheists say they use “reason”????
My takeaway from what’s been quoted here:
Scott Wampler needs to put down the damn crack pipe.
I want to join a new group of pilgrams and escape to the “New World !” Where we can live with freedom…(Is there such a place now?!)
The 12-screw quick detach mount screams mall ninja.
I don’t know, how ‘tactical’ c an it be for $360. I’d be afraid some of my bearded brethren at the ra nge might pick up on that. Wouldn’t want to be a poser. Do they make one with another zero?
Lots of value in asking a bunch of randos to pick a multiple choice opinion option regarding a subject none of them know anything about.
Why I myself just gave my opinion on a poll asking which medication I thought most effective in treating high cholesterol. Does it matter that I take no such meds, do not treat people who take such meds, have never researched such meds for any reason ever? Of course not! My opinion matters! Now let’s move on some legislation based on my opinion!
