Is That a Screwdriver in Your Pocket...?

A customer carrying a gun foiled a man who attempted to rob a fast-food restaurant with a screwdriver in his pocket, police said.

Well what do you know?

Another story of an armed citizen where violence is stopped and everybody lives.

The Hero of Seattle

Now, Klein said she is speaking out, in part because telling her story helps her to heal, and in part to help raise awareness about gun control and workplace safety.

Klein said her American Red Cross training helped her instinctively know what to do when she was confronted and shot by the gunman.

No it did not. Yes, you kept your head, but you were extremely lucky. The choice to shoot again or not was entirely your assailant's. Now you're hell-bent on making others victims of another madman's unilateral decision.

That doesn't make you a hero--that makes you an enabler, as is gushing propagandist Jackson Holtz, who actually has the gall to represent himself as a "reporter".

We're the Only Ones "Straw Purchasing" Enough

A New Orleans Police Department employee and a felon have been indicted for illegally obtaining an AK-47 assault rifle, federal prosecutors said Friday.

U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said Nisheka M. Webb, 21, went to a local gun show July 29 with Wayne C. Jones, 28, to buy a gun for him. Jones, a convicted felon, is prohibited from ever owning or possessing a firearm, Letten said.

The indictment charged both with conspiracy to acquire a firearm by providing a false statement to a federally-licensed firearm dealer.

This story makes no sense on a few levels.

First, why didn't Webb simply give her "friend" one of those guns NOPD "Only Ones" stole from citizens during the Katrina confiscations?

But more importantly, what's this "federally-licensed firearm dealer" business? Everyone knows gun shows provide loopholes for supplying felons and terrorists with firearms--no questions asked.

Right, GOP presidential hopeful John McCain?

People With Authority

A woman was detained by the FBI Friday afternoon for hauling a loaded handgun in her carry-on bag or purse...

People with authority to carry a gun sometimes forget it is in their carry-on bag at the airport...It is unclear whether the woman was authorized to carry a gun.

I wonder if she'll get the same treatment as others who have committed the same "offense"...

In any case, she clearly had the authority. It admits that right here.
