Notes from the Resistance...
This village's only convenience store decided to do something nice for its police officers: give them a free fountain drink or coffee at closing time. But somewhere along the way, investigators say, it got out of control. Now, all three of the village's officers are accused of stealing snacks.
"It" got out of control?
Boy, patrolling sure works up an appetite, doesn't it? Glad to see they're still on the job.

An Orange County sheriff's lieutenant accused of selling civilian guns from an evidence room he supervised has been offered a plea deal under which he would plead guilty to a misdemeanor and resign.
Ten years after Congress ordered federal agencies to have outside auditors review their books, neither the Defense Department nor the newer Department of Homeland Security has met even basic accounting requirements, leaving them vulnerable to waste, fraud and abuse.Oooh...ooohhh...audit BATFU next...audit BATFU next...
"I do not think that abrogating Second Amendment rights is a good idea," the Republican said at the Versailles restaurant in Little Havana.
A former ABC News consultant fired last year because he couldn't authenticate academic credentials is at the center of a new dispute over apparently faked interviews with Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Gates and others.Good golly. And ABC News is generally so reliable.
As I reported earlier we will be premiering David T. Hardy's Documentary In Search of the Second Amendment in Twin Falls. Hardy has spent 4 years working on this documentary and it is a must see.
On October 3rd, there will be a presentation before the film by historian Clayton Cramer, who is the author of the book Armed America and also appears in the film.
I hope Ryan has notified the local press to come down and cover this. If the attendance is not overflow/SRO, I'd sure like to know why not.
Is the gun store you patronize a leader in protecting the rights of the communities they serve, or merely a merchant? If the latter, have you and your shooting friends taken the time to approach and educate them on the real need for gun shops to supply freedom information as well as freedom tools?
Nothing will change unless we take it upon ourselves to change things. I hope that's not news to anybody.
In future, whenever the men are formed for action, the Serjeants are to be placed in the ranks, on the flanks of subdivisions, that the benefit of their fire may not be lost. The Brigadiers and Officers commanding regiments are also to post some good officers in the rear, to keep the men in order; and if in time of action, any man, who is not wounded, whether he has arms or not, turns his back upon the enemy, and attempts to run away, or to retreat before orders are given for it, those officers are instantly to put him to death. The man does not deserve to live, who basely flies, breaks his solemn engagements, and betrays his country.
Surrounding states must strengthen their gun laws to match New Jersey's if violent crime in the Garden State is going to be reduced, a group of county prosecutors said Thursday.Yeah, either that or you guys can go to hell.
Good grief.Former Run-DMC star Darryl McDaniels has created an award show to challenge negative perceptions of hip-hop...
McDaniels said the inclusion of "gangster rapper" Snoop Dogg on the bill did not detract from the awards' message...."It's OK to make a record about a gun, but if you make a record about a gun, you gotta make a record about not using a gun," he said.
I will send the links and account deposit information for the defense fund as soon as I have everything ready... I am going on a local radio talk show tomorrow morning (7:00 AM) to discuss Wayne's case.
A military-style machine gun accidentally discharged at a gun club exhibition, killing an off-duty police officer who was working with the weapon, state police said Thursday.Tragic, but again we see the "gun...discharged...killing." Not a word about an inanimate object being negligently operated...
A Northside Independent School District police officer shot himself and then lied to San Antonio police about how he suffered the gunshot wounds, police officials said.And that's why "we believe in absolutely gun-free, zero-tolerance, totally safe schools. That means no guns in America's schools, period ... with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel."
Ontario Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday that he does not want to see the provinces' schools resort to installing metal detectors and having uniformed security officers patrol the halls in the wake of Tuesday's fatal stabbing at a Toronto high school...
Instead, he said, Ontario needs to distinguish itself from the United States by imposing an outright ban on hand guns.
There's been talk and action about dry districts where alcohol isn't allowed, but now there is a movement for gun-dry districts. Community activists are working to get legislative support that would put restrictions on guns and selling them in high-crime areas of metro Louisville.

You don't have to speak to anyone. This takes 20 seconds. That's it! I repeat, you do not need to speak to anyone,and Les K, who also reminds us:
And if you are out of state, remember, there are other states looking to impose similar state (and federal) legislation, so feel free to call in and post your opinions too.UPDATE: I note some have said it took several attempts to get through. That shows people are calling, so we should make sure most of the calls are from us. I had luck of the draw and got right through--mission accomplished in that 20 seconds RuffRidr was telling us about.
Three high-ranking Mexican police officers were arrested on allegations of buying weapons and ammunition at a gun show in Phoenix in violation of a law barring noncitizens from purchasing firearms, a U.S. official said Wednesday...
It appeared the officers were buying the handguns for their personal use...
They're scary. That's the crux of the gun debate spurred by the AR platform.That's what the antis are counting on.
The AR platform looks like a machine gun.
That's why Kent Peacock, president of Firearm Safety Training Inc., invited outdoor media to a tactical rifle open house at the Illinois State Rifle Association range Aug. 28. I was the only one who took the opportunity to be enlightened.And that is why the next incompetent and hysterical "authorized journalist" who opens his snotty, judgmental yap about "assault weapons"--without having taken the initiative to educate himself--ought to have his ignorant, lazy butt soundly group-kicked and ridiculed with a flood of derisive emails.
