We're the Only Ones Trained Enough

Jay McDonald, president of the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, said it is ridiculous to compare a trained police officer to a regular citizen who happens have a concealed carry permit. 

"We are required to meet a much higher level of training and re-training for how to properly handle our weapons and we are trained to know in which situations to shoot and not to shoot," McDonald said. "If they want to require the same level of training for CCW holders as I have to meet as a law enforcement officer, then we will drop our opposition."[More]
Can anybody think of one good reason why we should be required to feed this parasite?

The Safety Dance

We can dance if we want to...[Watch]

And don't you forget it.

Unbelievable how many authoritah-worshipers think they got what they asked for.  On a different continent, in a different time, we'd have called them "good Germans."

I Love You, You Love Me...

Brave teacher. [Read]

Criminal that people are forced by their government to be helpless, unable to protect the most vulnerable entrusted to their care...

I wonder if any of the guns being used outside by those who not only laugh at--but count on--such restrictions were "walked"? Or sold to them by the same "officials" who restrict the "law-abiding"?

Well, you know me.  I'd seen a magazine review that only mentioned "official" use. So I sent the following reply:
Is it available to the civilian market?

And heard immediately back from them:
These are now commercially available, let me know if I can assist you with one!
Well, yeah,with the paying part would be nice...

Some day.  The last time Sweetie came home with a lottery ticket, I told her all she's gotta do is get six lousy numbers and she can't even do that right (Owww...).  So I'm counting on this ticket I bought at the NRA Annual Meeting to show her how someone who really knows what he's doing gets things done:

Memorial Day

Yesterday I stood watching a very young woman and her two very young sons crying and asking “Where is daddy” or “why, why, why” and knowing that in all likelihood these armed state enforcers are home with their families sickened and frightened me. [More]

Should shaving your beard be cause for federal terrorism scrutiny?

So it should come as no surprise to see real indicators of overt malevolent intent conflated with innocent actions, such as shaving a beard, or paying in cash, or traveling an “illogical” distance to a gun-related event. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner column has a close shave with a known "hatriot" extremist and "homegrown terrorist."

Somebody ought to report him. I know when I tried to I never got a response.  Warn others against this radical by sharing the link?
