Northbound

"The danger is out there, with all the weapons being found coming northbound…. someone needs to know about this!” [More]

So our biggest problem ain't that southbound "flow"...?

Never Volunteer

I know they say that, but after the comment left on Sunday's GRE by anonymous bad boy "Karl" I just couldn't help myself.

No Charge

Makhele said as the man was acting within his rights to defend himself, he will not face any charges. [More]

Now hold the vuvuzela just a dang second here..

What happened to:

"No firearm may be used for self-defence unless licenced for that purpose (s16, s17, s18, and s19). If under personal attack whilst only in possession of a firearm licenced for a non-defensive purpose, the individual would, in fact, be committing an offence by using it to defend him/herself...

Just Give Them What They Want

[W]hatever you do, comply with what the robbers want because whatever you have is not worth being shot over. [More]

How do you know what they want, Second District Police Commander Keith Sulzer?

Fun times in Cleveland today!

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

Police say the dog was acting vicious. The video shows the dog acting frightened. [More]

And then it shows the police acting frightened. And then it shows the dog acting dead.

Just another day of following department protocol.

Perdue gun bills show danger of mistaking sport shooters for Second Amendment supporters

[T]his latest should serve as yet more evidence--it any is still needed--that just because a politician passes himself off as a sport shooter doesn't mean squat. [More]

This Day in History: June 22

Letter to Washington from Lee:
(dated June 22, 1778 Camp.) Dr. General, About eleven miles from Head Quarters and eight miles from this Camp is a most admirable position for the whole Army either in two or one line -- it's left is cover'd by the Stony Brook, its front Clear, excepting to the front of the right where is a strong wood and mill dam where it will be proper to throw a Brigade -- a strong Brigade or two shou'd occupy likewise a Wood on the right -- it's situation is high and commanding -- the ground dry and good -- it is well watered having besides Stoney Brook on the left -- a large Rivulet in the front-another in the rear -- it commands likewise both the roads to Princeton that by Pennytown and that inclining to Hopewell meeting house."
