I'd like to see him cite one recognized defensive gun use expert who teaches this, or else cite the training that makes him an expert to advise it. [More]

We're the Only Ones [clap-clap-clap-clap] Deep in the Parts of Texas Enough
Multiple highway patrol officers in Texas have been captured by dash cams doing 'unconstitutional' cavity searches on women's genitals during traffic stops. Lawyers and civil rights advocates say the 'mind-boggling' searches are all too common. [More]Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, what's the problem here?

In a "gun-free zone"...
So naturally, the gungrabbers are out in force demanding even more people in more places be mandated defenseless.

A Right Wing White Supremacist Gun Rights Advocate
And no doubt a Constitutionalist to boot. [More]
I guess they figure if they just put the accusation out there, it'll stick with some.

Younger generation key to perpetuating 'legal' recognition of gun rights
The whole idea for this column came about when I was approached by a liberty activist, upset because she wanted to attend a gun rights event and they not only had no provisions for younger people, they actually weren’t welcome. That resulted in no small amount of hard feelings, and not only excluded the youngsters, but took the wind out of the sails of someone who wanted to be a supporter. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes that "Teach Your Children" is more than a song, it's a survival imperative.
Despised by the Despicable
The head of the renamed National Coalition to Ban Handguns doesn't much like Oath Keepers and Mike Vanderboegh. [More]
At least he didn't add being white to his indictment of them.

About That FEMA Food Scare
I'm not getting why the name and contact info for the FEMA rep was redacted. There is no legitimate reason I can think of to do that, and it makes independently validating this next to impossible. [More]
It's not like we're talking about a whistleblower needing protection here. This was a public employee making a public inquiry. And it can hardly be that the supplier fears they'll be mad at him -- if this is genuine, they're no doubt already irked, their procurement guy being ID'd or not.
All may be as represented here, but until I see a way to check into this, I can't take it too seriously.

What's a Company to Do?
Here’s a note to Debney. You won’t win. Massachusetts is too far gone ... Gun owners won’t approve. [More]I notice the gun magazines are addressing this dilemma, with FMG's "Shooting Industry" (a sister publication to "GUNS") noting on page 50 of their May issue:
While it's easy for internet bloggers to tell Colt, O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Stag Arms and other manufacturers of modern sporting rifles to get out of the state, that is no easy task.No, it's not. Defending freedom never is, and like the overused Spiderman quote goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
Rather than being leaders though, what you're going to see is the gun industry being led. If enough gun owners make the decision they will not give aid and comfort to their enemies by adding to the coffers of anti-gun states -- that is, if they do it in sufficient numbers to affect the bottom line of companies operating behind the lines -- we'll see incentive for movement.
It boils down to how many believe this is a vital line to hold, and organize and spread the word to make it so, and how many choose to remain oblivious and apathetic.
We're the Only Ones Gratuitously Sporting Enough
The lawsuit (“Gun Trouble,” Mobtown Beat, June 6, 2012) claims that detective Erik Socha and Cpl. Anthony Kidwell led raids on the Bords’ home and auto-repair business that were based on a bad warrant “in order to intimidate” David Bord and cause him “economic injury.” The operations also were undertaken “for gratuitous sport rather than for proper law-enforcement purposes,” according to court documents, and Socha and Kidwell, when presented with all the proper firearms paperwork after the raids, said “save it for court,” that the paperwork was “wrong” or “bull***t,” and “words to the effect” that David Bord “would never get his property back.” [More]Just a few bad apples, no doubt. I love the way the one punk thug "spilled his guts" and feels like he's been thrown under the bus.
This story is several month old. I just learned about it from Of Arms and the Law, where Mr. Hardy makes a relevant observation.
This Day in History: August 5
The siege began in the early dawn of August 5, 1781, when the followers of the dreaded Tory, David Fanning attacked Colonel Philip Alston and his Whig soldiers. [More]
