Of special pertinence to those interested in the civil contempt of Congress case against Attorney General Eric Holder, to be ruled on by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, are the arguments revolving around the invocation of executive privilege. But those wishing to understand how current debate has been shaped will want to not just focus on Fast and Furious, but to see the historical and legal oversight and separation of powers precedents. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes this is hardly the first time the guards have needed guarding.

Government think tank reports on congressional investigations of DOJ
PULL!
State Police are investigating the incident. [More]We have no idea. The shot we heard sounded like it came from the direction of the SHARKs. And if they really were using a "rifle," you'd better get 'em the hell out of here.
Speaking of drones, I don't see these freaks on Charity Navigator, but did find them on Guidestar. It merits a closer look if I can find the time.

Cash Cab
The ban on guns for taxi drivers is coming from the cab companies. The policy means drivers are forced to find other ways to protect themselves. [More]Carry anyway and don't tell them--it's none of their damn business. The worst they can do is fire you, and they'll never know unless you need to protect yourself, at which point, a crap job will be the least of your worries.
And take some classes and get a better job. The hell with those selfish pricks who would let you die.
I wonder if the pistol-whipped driver the video talks about is going to get a lawyer...? It's not like the cab companies can claim ignorance.
If you're ever in Yuma and need a cab, call and ask if they allow their drivers to carry. If they say "No," tell them you won't do business with them and rent a car. I just checked--you can get an economy model for a whole day for $26 plus gas.
A Shocking Discovery
Signs don't work! [Read]
Two observations:
The negligently-discharging morons are...uh...morons.
And I agree with the cop who said "Know your weapon, know what you are carrying and be familiar with it. There is no reason to unholster your weapon out in public unless you feel your life is in danger."

And Now a Word from People Who Would Be Speaking German if it Weren't for Us
Fight against arms trafficking: Where do we stand? [More]Not behind the Maginot Line, I hope...
And not that it's the German's you need to worry about these days...
Don't bother asking next time.
The Problem with "Gun Criminals"
Federal law barred the shooter, Radcliffe Haughton, from buying or possessing a firearm after his wife obtained a domestic violence restraining order against him. [More]What?
You mean to tell me these people break the law?
Why, there oughtta be a law!
You're a Gun Nut!
I guess that's the best argument a female Ted Kennedy lionizer can come up with. [Read]
Update: Kurt provides a more thorough deconstruction.

Where There's a Will There's a Way
And best of all, it's in California... [Read]
Or maybe worst of all...I can't believe the control freaks will just let this stand. I'm not sure letting the media get a front row seat was such a good idea.
I'm still not clear on how they get around federal law, unless the gun owners themselves are "renting" and operating the machinery?

Why Not Limit Easy Access to Stupid Republicans, Instead?
"That explosion, yeah, if this doesn't scare ya, you're not breathing," said Merritt. [More]Popped right out, did it, Jimmy?
What is it with Indiana Republicans?
This Day in History: November 20
Sumter placed Colonel Henry Hampton and his South Carolina riflemen in the farm outbuildings. Some units he stationed behind stout fences and others he screened in the surrounding woods. Tarleton came up late in the fall afternoon and chose to make a frontal attack against a numerically superior force, not waiting for his infantry and artillery to catch up. At first he was successful. The Patriot militia fired at too great a distance, and before they could reload Major John Money, commanding the 63d Regiment, hit them with the bayonet. Nevertheless, in doing so, the 63d advanced too close to the farm buildings and came under fire from Hampton's men inside, as usual aiming "at the epaulets and stripes." Money and two of his lieutenants were killed, and according to an officer of Fraser's Highlanders, a third of the privates as well. Meanwhile, other partisans worked their way around their right flank and attacked Tarleton's dragoons who were in their saddles but only watching the action. [More]
