Like a Good Neighbor

Good for the chief deputy for applauding instead of admonishing them. It always bugs me when they do that. [More]

Allow me: I'm not sure I'd have done things this way, though, unless I saw my neighbors were actually in danger, what with legal considerations being what they are these days.

I just talked with Mike--he says it happened near him but he needs to find out if this involved anyone he knows.

Signs of the Times

Nolan said she is not opposed to posting it, she’s just worried that not enough people are aware of what it means and could misinterpret the new signage. [More]

This is what passes for an educator these days. Can you imagine how utterly useless this ungulate would be if there were a wolf in the fold?

Brinks receives four new FFLs after dropping revocation appeal

The outcome is positive for both Brink's and ATF. That said, it should be noted that FFLs without such resources and access to competent representation should not assume they’re immune to similar adverse actions that could put them out of business or worse. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes happy ending are possible, but they’re generally pretty expensive.

Excellent Points

So the new CT laws have a LCM registration rate of 1.5% based on the MINIMUM number estimate. Of course if there are more than the original estimate, the success rate is lower. This means that the new laws have a RESOUNDING FAILURE RATE OF 98.5% or possibly (as in ‘possibly millions more’) far higher. [More]

Didn't some idiot go on a "no amnesty/enforce now" tirade the other day...?

A What Gun Nut?

Good article on the whole, but I wonder why the writer assumes it should be a "stigma." [More]

A Question of Legitimacy

"Dear Mr. Hatchet Man"...[More]

Vanderboegh explores the motivations of a mind that seeks control, even (especially) if it means the crushing kind. 

I just saw this critique of Mike's post on Facebook:

This sort of thing, while perhaps entertaining, isnt really going to help us be seen as a legitimate voice....just sayin

Let's think about that.  Seen as legitimate by whom?  Anyone who matters, or are you thinking you're going to majority rule your way out of this in Connecticut?

We've tried things your way -- how has that worked out, aside from the lines in front of the DESPP building?  Sorry, but based on your opinion, I'm presuming you're not one of these guys.

And yes, we all know about the court challenge.  And how. We've all seen the ruling and the prognosis. All SCOTUS has to do is nothing.

If you have a better plan than exposing these monsters for what they are and ginning up defiance and determined resistance, flesh it out for us, or are you saying there is never legitimacy in defiant disobedience? If you have something to add besides dismissing the proactive efforts of others, you ought to offer it when you post comments like that, to help guide and steer us into more effective action.

Give us something you believe will be effective that we haven't already tried to exhaustion. Give us something that will inspire...

Just sayin'.

A Piece of the Action

It's not an infringement, it's an impingement.  Jeez. [More]

Or as Kirk said to Krako: "Who's interferin'?  We're...takin' over."

Of course, this means we won't get any of those fancy heaters the Feds got.
