Any Okies from Muskogee?

I'm trying to establish the code of conduct for the Arrowhead Mall in re concealed carry...

It's a cinch whatever was in place, including all laws, didn't stop a 20-year-old with priors and his teenage accomplices...oh wait--it looks like the alleged shooter is 16, and quite the nice young man...

So far, I've checked the mall website and emailed the contact--only to get a delivery failure notice.

Anyone with relevant info, please weigh in.

GRE Round Up for Apr. 13

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Ed Stone/Atlanta:
Rockdale County bans guns over terrorism fears

Liston Matthews/Knoxville:
TN candidates respond to gun rights quiz - Knox County Commission District 7 - R. Larry Smith

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: American Militias, Part IV.

Dave Workman/Seattle:
2A marchers will probably be demonized regardless of conduct

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Oklahoma mulls reviving state militia concept

Go. Read. And please share these links.

You're doing that, right?

And the Number One Rule IS...

...keep your mouth shut. At least as far as I'm concerned.

One Person's Bully

Our national scene is rife with them: among the hordes Limbaugh, Coulter and Beck, Sarah Palin, maybe, to be fair, even Rafe Emanuel (although I have to admit that one person's bully is another's forthright advocate). Dick Cheney is the über-bully. [More]

You, Peaco Todd--I think I've figured out why people are always pushing you down in mud puddles and giving you wedgies: You're an @$$h01e.

Who to Heed...

I could listen to Paul Scott...

...or Heather Mac Donald...

What to do...

Rap vs. responsibility...rap vs. responsibility...

Yeah, what the hell. Blame the man.

Of course I wouldn't be saying things like Paul Scott is a f****ing idiot if I wasn't a racist.

I'm NOT the "Only One"...

Sucks to be ordinary, doesn't it? [Read]

Fuddruckers to Gun Owners: Fuddruck You

WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike S sent me the following policy and I have confirmed it with Fuddrucker's/KooKooRoo Chicken Bistro management:

Regarding the open carry laws, Fuddruckers decision not to allow guns in the restaurants is not a statement about gun rights or laws. It is however, a statement about the primary importance of creating and maintaining a comfortable environment for all of Fuddruckers guests.

Open carry laws are changing in various states. Therefore, restaurants are more clearly communicating their policies to guests. Fuddruckers has had a no weapons policy for several years but it wasn't being enforced in all locations. By enforcing its no-weapons policy, Fuddruckers is enforcing its rights as a private business to create the sort of dining environment we believe best suits and appeals to all or the majority of our guests.

OK, fine. Fuddruck you, too.

Gun Ban Group Lies About...Me

So you're damn right, Josh. What kind of devoid-of-principles coward wouldn't fight stormtroopers trying to do that to free Americans? And what kind of subversive traitor to every precept of the Republic, not to mention common decency, would hold that against a man and view it as an opportunity for his public condemnation? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column lances a boil.

I'd appreciate your help spreading the link on this one. There's so much negative publicity to counter, and I want voices doing that to be heard.

This Day in History: April 13
