A Thumb in the Eye

I got this graphic from Phillip Evans.

My first thought on seeing it was to fixate on the word "licensed," but soon grokked it's intended for open carry advocates restricted to concealed carry by the states they live in. It's actually a prety ironic way to make the point that not seeing something doesn't mean it's not there (longtime readers will recall Ravenous Bugblatter Best of Traal comparisons on this).

It's free for personal use to repro for t-shirts, hats and the like.

Be the first on your block to make a hoplophobe sputter in angry impotence, dress you down in indignant rage, or better yet, report you to store management because they say you make them feel afraid (just never enough somehow to keep them from being in your face). I thought of the potential for being swatted by the particularly virulent strain of anti, but that's where using the word "licensed" will act to your benefit when the 911 operator asks what the shirt says.

By golly, I will.

Hey, they don't say you can't report a store in a different state.

Ah -- their form requires selecting a borough.

Dang. I didn't just have a toy gun for 'em, I had an OVERSIZED one.

Sounds like it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Asking the Right People

If the Iowa Senate approves HF517 with no amendments the bill goes straight to the Governor's desk. If the Senate makes any changes or amendments the bill goes back to the House who will have to vote on whether to accept or reject the changes. Obviously we'd like to get this signed into law as quickly as possible, so we're asking you to email the Senate Republicans and urge them to pass HF517 as it's written and without any amendments. [More]

Good tactic.

I'd like to see more gun groups follow suit by recognizing that most of the time, asking supporters to plead with Democrats -- at least the ones in safe districts --  is a demoralizing waste of their time.

Not the Only One

For some reason I thought I'd already posted this a few weeks ago, but I can't find it now and it won't hurt to link again if I did. [Watch]

That's like saying Jerry Large's moronic logical fallacies should spur action on speech.

Besides, this is all blather to move the ball toward the goal. He's already told us what he's really after.

It took more than four years, however, for the sheriff to finally be brought to justice, and it was no thanks to Mike DeWine, no matter how many times he claims otherwise.
