Golden State Radio Gig

Tonight at 3:00 pm Pacific/6:00 pm Eastern, here. Naturally, we'll be talking "Gunwalker."

And if you click on the "Andy Caldwell Show" banner, you can listen from wherever you are.

I've been on this program lots of times, but this will be my first conversation with guest host Mike Gorbell, who I understand is retired CIA and now a financial adviser.

Should be fun.  Join us if you can.

Ames home gun sale ban reflects intolerance, not safety

That’s not good enough for some neighbors, who insist “This is not a Second Amendment issue” but nonetheless want to infringe on Seaton’s rights and affairs, citing a wholly speculative potential decline in property values to make their case. That’s an interesting position for them to publicly take when talking about housing, discrimination and civil rights.  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks why disgruntled, nosy neighbors just don’t mind their own business.

Good Lord

Watch.

This is quite terrifying.

I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message.

We're the Only Ones Homeward Bound Enough

“We’re told every day, our safety is first,” he said. “We’re here to come home every night.” [More]

And if that means you don't, ehh...

It's not like we're violating department protocols or anything.

That stupid cop ought to be thanking his lucky stars the illusory restraints are still in place.

Anybody else on Blogger experience this?

What's Wrong with Waiting Periods?

“I know everything about you," said the caller in a high-pitched voice. "I've been watching you. Your every step. I'm coming for you Emily.” Also, “I'm a crazy mother f--er. This is not a game. This is not for some f--ing scary f--ing movie. This is real business.” Finally the caller ended with, “Don't you think of going to the police.” [More]

I'm jealous. How come this never happens to me?

Gun Policy

Make sure that you focus on keeping your employees safe rather than pushing a personal agenda. [More]

Well then, we need to take into account that signs never seem to stop those with murder on their minds, and also recognize the documented admission that:

In 2004, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences released its evaluation from a review of 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some original empirical research. It failed to identify any gun control that had reduced violent crime, suicide, or gun accidents. The same conclusion was reached in 2003 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s review of then extant studies.

I suppose to be legally "safe" (as if there is such a thing), a business could adopt a policy for employees and visitors similar to the one Starbucks offered its customers when caught between open carry advocates and gungrabbers--that they would abide by applicable state laws.

I prefer something a little more direct and less tepid:

If you threaten to or commit acts of physical aggression on these premises, the rest of us will employ an armed response to stop you.

Spirit and Intent

Close the "gun buyback" loophole! [Read]

That would be terrific--to have a "buyback" with the intent to "get guns off the street" and then be forced to sell them back to the public.

Hey, I thought "progressives" believed in "redistribution"...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

But they still arrested the homeowner and his wife and held them for 40 hours. And they're still playing catch and release with scum.
