The Four Boxes Diner serves up hot, fresh Second Amendment news and analysis. You’ll get the inside scoop from constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith, a member of the United States Supreme Court Bar, a professor, a frequent Fox news guest, and a New York Times bestselling author. Mark’s books include The Official Handbook of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, First They Came for the Gun Owners, and Duped: How the Anti-gun Lobby Exploits the Parkland School Shooting, and How Gun Owners Can Fight Back. Mark’s scholarship has been used by lawyers before the U.S. and he work has been quoted by a federal judge (Roger Benitez) in declaring California’s so-called “assault weapon” ban to be unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.
To defend your liberty, you need to understand the “four boxes” of American liberty: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box. We give you the information you need, and we hope to serve as your source for Bill of Rights news and analysis.

I think that a lot more people are starting to realize that you are on your own when it comes to self defense.
Carry bear spray and a gun. Bear spray is for bears, the gun is for varmints.
👍
Ida B Wells!
The more the females of the world realize that they are their own first responders, the more cultures become self-defense oriented, especially with mothers inculcating this attitude into their daughters. Like Prof. Yamane says, "Guns are normal, and normal people use guns."
Thank you Mark. My "wise" point is still: Should've let the Afghan women arm up in Bagram before we left.
David Hemenway has been an unabashed shill for gun control and pro-gun control for a VERY long time. He is not as bad as Arthur Kellerman making up numbers in his study but pretty close. Regardless of Hemenway's position at Harvard he is biased. But funny thing is even if you use his numbers of 80,000 times a year. Thats the LOW END numbers. Do the math:
That is 220 times a DAY guns are used to stop a potential crime.
"ONLY" 8 TIMES as many Americans use guns defending themselves as are being murdered by them.
I wonder if Jamie's stocker made a successful attack on an unarmed woman later that day❓❓
Why someone jog at 0400?
You have a busy schedule?
You appreciate the peace and quiet that comes with less of societal activities?
You appreciate the cool fresh morning air?
You are not a out of shape lawyer?
Or all of the above?
Pull out your bear spray see if it scares them off. There going to pull out a gun.
My wife has a sports bra the holds her S&W air weight right between her boobs. She really likes it. Thanks for the story mark.
A lady with God given common sense, not Democratic so called common sense.
Went on a run with my boot one evening. Came across a rape in progress occurring in an alley we ran past. Stopped the assault and held the suspect at gunpoint with my snub-nose .38 back-up. Always ran with my pistola to ward off any two-legged animals.
Thank you Mark. This should prove to the Media that federal or state gun control only function is to disarm law abiding citizens.
"Experience is a series of non-fatal mistakes"
Disarming is a mistake free people only get to make once…
Hi mark farmer hear this is not new man or woman we been bran as bad scary people god bless stay safe
I would rather have any man or woman that's alone in that vulnerable situation have the protection they may have to need in that situation. Think about how tired you're already going to be if your running? And being alone? No matter who you are that already puts you at a disadvantage. Excellent topic to bring up Mark!
Fear of an object(gun) is no excuse to try to prevent others from having it. The best way to overcome fear is to confront it. Get some instruction/training with a gun and then make a choice for YOURSELF, not others.
That Phd that said bear spray is as effective as a firearm needs to have his degree nullified. He is too stupid to have a Phd. This is the way those Brits are though. That's why we won the Revolutionary War. The far left in this country (USA) come from the same gene pool.
Unfortunately Jamie could have been charged with brandishing. The laws need to be changed so that brandishing charges would only apply to people who grossly and dangerously brandish. Just flashing the sight of a gun should not be considered brandishing.
We had a young female jogger murdered on a gravel county road here in Iowa about a year ago. A farm worker did it. Relatives said she jogged that road many times with no problem. Then one day there was a problem. Don't be concerned with the hundreds of times nothing happens. Instead be concerned with the one time something will. The left just can't see that. If she had just a small 25 auto in her hand while jogging she would be alive today and that farm worker would be the one in a grave. I have a small 25 auto that can be concealed in the palm of my hand.
Bravo , excellent "food for thought", Mark!
Having been an experienced LEO and being a specialty bullet series inventor, I know that a capable properly loaded Handgun is the ultimate "Equalizer", in the hands of a trained person against both dangerous criminals and apex predatorial animals.
Mark, quoted "Factual Knowledge" that, OC Pepper and Bear Spray is Not the ultimate Personal Safety Defense Device!
The ultimate most effective Personal Defense Safety Device, is a properly loaded capable Firearm in trained hands.
The recent tragic preventable case of US Army Staff Sergeant( SSG), Seth M. Plant, (RIP), comes to mind.
Because of the ridiculous, dangerous and contradictory, US Army anti 2A Force Protection Policy, SSG Seth M. Plant, was prohibited from possessing live ammunition and a capable Handgun while he was in a training area environment in the wilderness of Alaska.
In that training area, a Brown Bear attacked SSG Plant and another Soldier.
Due to the absurd dangerous and 2A contradictory US Military Law SSG Plant was only allowed to be armed with Bear Spray.
SSG Plant, used the Bear Spray to no avail, as the Bear killed SSG Plant and the Brown Bear wounded the other Soldier.
Similarly last year a Fishing Guide, Mr. Charles Carl Mock, ( RIP) was attacked killed by a Grizzley Bear, Mr. Mock also used Bear Spray, against the attacking Grizzley Bear, to no avail.
Ironically Mr. Mock's friend stated in one initial published interview, that on that fatal day Mr. Mock left his Handgun home that he regularly carried!
Factual studies have shown, that a capable Handgun is 97% effective against Bear attacks.
In California, Female Bicyclists have been attacked by Mountain Lions.
Some of those female Bicycle riders were severely injured or killed.
All of which shows that the ultimate most effective tool to preserve and defend one's valuable life, is a capable Handgun in the possession of a trained person.
IMHO, the same elitists who claim that women shouldn't carry guns because they are "too dangerous" are of the same mindset of their ilk who 50 years ago advised women, "If rape is inevitible, lie back and enjoy it."
The last time I looked or even heard about the only Bears I know of in New York City are in the zoo they don't run around on the streets so you don't need bear spray that Professor should lose his tenure and his job for being stupid I have encountered people that when you use pepper spray or bear spray on them they simply do not even react to it they charge right in and hurt you it doesn't even faze them bear spray and pepper spray is useless against humans as a general rule that professor should lose his license to teach because he's teaching the wrong things just as any teacher who teaches CRT should lose their job it just should not be done in our schools
"Life is Hard, it's Harder if you're Stupid".
shouldnt it be stated that it deterred this particular runner from harm, but not necessarily the next person, who could of been shortly thereafter?
Morons think guns aren’t effective. Those idiots know nothing of history.
I may be male, but I can personally testify that you don't necessarily need to shoot someone (or even draw on them) for an effective DGU. I was being followed to my car by a group of would-be robber punks after leaving the mall. Fortunately, I overheard one of them saying to the others, "we'll slam him when he tries to open his car door and get it" – presumably referring to the Apple Store bag I was carrying – just a new set of earphones and a charging cable, but still… So I was on full "red alert", and when I got close to the car, I made certain to "accidentally" catch my flannel on my thumb while going into my pocket to pull out my keys. As intended, this exposed my gun for anybody to see. Next thing I heard was running feet fading into the distance, and when I looked around, sure enough, the whole lot of them – I think it was six, total, but couldn't swear to that – were heading for "anywhere but here" as fast as they could pick 'em up and put 'em down.
Your 87% statistic only assumes a gun that is carried that prevents violence. It doesn’t take into account the intangible effect that increased gun ownership has on the criminal element in reducing crime because of the criminal’s belief that a citizen might be armed.
Remember safety in numbers as well. There are many running and cycling clubs around. Try to find someone with a similar schedule, especially on the forest preserve trails.
Any body young are old walking, running , hiking ,boating,of any form biking, exercise groups our single person.
They make a elastic ban that wraps around waist are hips that will carry a compact 9 mm very comfortable best o can say is all gun stores have them( fat boys even wears them
My wife would watch those stupid crime shows. Every time after the woman would become a victim I had my daughter repeat after me, “Large Caliber Handgun!”
Not Right Wing, educated, meaning she votes for politicians who release rapists early. She loves them.
The Federal Aviation Regulations were written because of the pilots of WWII who died making mistakes they wished they had notified to others. We aviators like to say that most of the Federal Aviation Regulations were written from the blood of our dead comrades which are now etched in stone.
Soon as my daughter turns 18 I'm going to take her to the gun range and when she gets 21 I'm going to buy her a firearm and get her a concealed carry permit she will not be a victim know how no way
Nailed it! Informative, well organized and adroitly presented.
I really enjoyed this presentation.
My sister keeps a gun in he car but doesn't always carry it. It's a big old .357 magnum short barrel. She doesn't like to have it in her purse because "it's too big and heavy". Well DUH!
I told her to get a small 32 or 38 pocket pistol for her purse. Not a lot of stopping power but plenty of persuasion power.
As a criminal, the last thing you want to do is show up at an emergency room sporting a gunshot wound. Why? Requires an intimate visit with a detective!
