When Organized and Unorganized Militias Collide
The Carroll National Guard unit will train on urban military operations by holding a four-day exercise at Arcadia.Why?
The purpose of the April 2-5 drill will be to gather intelligence, then search for and apprehend a suspected weapons dealer, according to Sgt. Mike Kots, readiness NCO for Alpha Company. [More]
What are they training for in terms of real life?
Since when is firearms law enforcement the province of our military? And they even are calling in a Blackhawk?
What the hell is going on here?

Applying Themselves in the Sunshine State
We're the Only Ones Red Zone Enough
The deputy says Smoke attacked him, and he shot in self-defense.
Hutts said Smoke was barking, but never attacked the deputy. An eyewitness backs Hutts' account. [More]
I have to say this assessment is looking pretty right on:
People should know that McGuire is armed and dangerous and a threat. He is violent.In other words, he's an "Only One"?

Still Think Cops are the 'Only Ones' Who Can be Trusted with Guns?
Candidly, the popularity of the "Only Ones" feature surprised me--I get tips every day, and have to make sure the purpose of my WarOnGuns site doesn't get overshadowed. Still, since one of the prime arguments of the gunhaters is that police can be trusted with guns but you and I cannot be, such stories are useful, if only anecdotally, at providing a demonstrable counterpoint to that claim.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column gently indoctrinates a more general readership to something we here are more than familiar with...
Here are two more cases in point...[More]

The principal design of this is to inform you, that we have strong reason to believe that the Enemy are on the point of making some push. what their object is, whether to beat up our Quarters and to extend their own, to make a large forage and collection of provender, of which they are in great want, or to turn their views towards the Delaware, is a matter of uncertainty; but it seems probable, that one of these things they have in contemplation.

S'all, Folks
For today, anyway.
Still dealing with some post-op physical realities.
I'll be OK--it's just for now, it is what it is.
Do me a favor and go promote the hell out of today's Examiner column.

When Animals Attack
If that were my loved one being mauled, having her face ripped off, being rended limb-from-limb, would I want to have the most effective means at my disposal to immediately save her?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column presents a thought experiment of sorts. Read the column while you listen to a real time animal attack unfold...
Or would I rather be useless, and stand shrieking and blubbering helplessly into a telephone while some government worker on the other end of the line tells me to calm down? [More]
Also in today's column: Messages from Oregon Firearms Federation, South Dakota Gun Owners, Gun Owners of America and Liberty Belles. And a link to read current issues of Guns Magazine online.

This Day in History: February 19
On this day in 1777, the Continental Congress votes to promote Thomas Mifflin; Arthur St. Clair; William Alexander, Lord Stirling; Adam Stephen; and Benjamin Lincoln to the rank of major general. Although the promotions were intended in part to balance the number of generals from each state, Brigadier General Benedict Arnold felt slighted that five junior officers received promotions ahead of him and, in response, threatened to resign from the Patriot army.

Import Ammo Ban?
It looks like those who said the Obama Administration would strike while the iron is hot may have been correct, and the Administration may be doing it in a way that does not require them to even get a vote in Congress. In this morning's edition of the Shooting Wire, Jim Shepherd writes that Canadian officials have it on "good authority" our State Department may be on the verge of cutting off all imports of certain calibers of ammunition. [More]I'd heard stirrings on this, but held back because of this "rumor control" piece from NRA-ILA:
Additional rumors have recently been circulating about stopping gun and/or ammunition imports. And once again, NRA and representatives of firearm importers know of no real measures proposing this, yet.Who knows what's going on?

(Later):
Oh, it wasn't calibrated properly?
No matter, they acted in good faith.
And remember--with the "Only Ones," we're all suspects.
