Fewer Gun Dealers is Good

Wal-Mart's policy regarding guns varies, but it has stopped selling them at about 1,000 stores, and that's good news for folks who believe guns are too readily available...

While this was a marketing decision by the world's largest retailer, there is comfort in the knowledge that guns are a little tougher to come by, that cruising off the highway into just any Wal-Mart does not assure that a gun purchase is just moments away...

That's OK, because there are 1,000 fewer outlets nationwide where guns are sold.
Liberal establishment editorialists. Is there anything they don't know?

We're the Only Ones--Or ARE We...?

Police issued an all-points bulletin yesterday after someone broke into a police officer's car in 'Ewa and stole the officer's service handgun, badge and other items.
STOP! POLICE!

We're the Only Ones On Guard Enough...

A RISDON Prison guard appeared in court last night after allegedly being caught taking a gun and drugs to work.

The 28-year-old Brighton man was apprehended on his way to the prison early yesterday morning by police acting on a tip-off.

A .25-calibre semi-automatic pistol and ammunition were allegedly found wrapped in a cloth under his car's passenger seat.

Also allegedly located was a quantity of cannabis wrapped in a balloon and a sachet containing a morphine-based prescription drug, namely MS Contrin.
The "tip-off" may be the tip-off as to what went down here...

Pistol-Packing Mayor

Melton, a former head of the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, has often been seen carrying weapons, presumably for the same political effects. Since Melton was elected on a crime-fighting platform, looking and talking tough is part of the package...

Wearing police garb, and brandishing shotguns during stops and even showing up on a citizen's front porch to confront someone he said threatened him puts him in danger and is a recipe for volatility.
I can't figure out from this if Melton is a victim of all-too-typical media hysteria, or if he's a bully abusing his authority. Guess we'll just have to keep our eyes and ears open and see if anything more transpires down in Jackson...
