We're the Only Ones Pooped Enough

An off-duty Napa County sheriff’s deputy and his service weapon were reunited after a customer found the loaded firearm in the bathroom of a restaurant in Cotati last Friday.

He was no doubt wiped out from the strain of doing his duty?

Introduce a Woman to the Shooting Sports

In cross-examination yesterday he was asked about the cellophane wrapper that had been found around the barrel of a .22-calibre gun that also had a dildo attached to the end of the barrel.

Hey, maybe it's a way to get Rosie O'Donnell on our side...

Bloomberg Warned to Back Off VA Gun Shop Stings

Again, via Say Uncle:

The new legislation passed this year at my insistence and signed by Governor Kaine, makes clear that such non-law enforcement activities related to undercover illegal firearm purchases will be punishable as a felony in Virginia.

I'd say Mikey was just put in his place, except that won't be true until he's behind bars.

As hard as it is to believe, I think these people were actually astonished at the uproar. I think they were ignorant of the whole Christian Trejbal mess.

As they entered the officers' quarters, Allen is said to have yelled, "Come out of there, you damned old rat!" Although in his memoirs, Allen later wrote that he had said, "in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress." The commander of the fort appeared and quickly surrendered the fort.
