We're the Only Ones Fraternal Enough
So Much for 'If It Saves One Life'
Fearful that the Right-to-Carry was getting too much good publicity in the wake of an Illinois concealed carry permit holder’s heroic actions, the Sun-Times editorial board felt it necessary to lecture its readers, “One brave rescue of a Cicero cop doesn’t justify concealed guns.” [More]Who says we have to justify anything -- especially our rights -- to Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist domestic enemies and useful idiots?
And There Is That
“I support the right, not the practice.” [More]Pretty much. Speaking for myself.
Let the angry rebuttals commence.
Over there, please.

Blacksburg Police Department Detective Brian Wilson’s testimony centered on an observation he made while surveilling Zhao. While dressed in plain clothes, he watched Zhao and Zhao’s friend shoot an AR-15 at a gun range. He said he was certain that Zhao had a 30-round magazine. [More]Stupid "law."
