'A Classic Russian Influence Operation'

This sure is a lot of effort and noise to say nothing. [More]

And "sources familiar with the situation" is a broad enough cross-section to include  all kinds of political enemies.

In the absence of evidence, innuendo and repetition will do.

The citation is a 3rd degree misd punishable with a $579 fine Not being allowed to plea and pay! County requiring full adjudication, attorneys, thousands in fees and months to resolve (and loss of gun of course) [Via Dave Licht by email]

Griddle Me This

Needless to say, little has been made of the argument that none were killed in the Louisiana Waffle House incident because a law-abiding citizen was carrying and using a registered gun. Instead, gun control activists in the media decided to focus on an unarmed man’s heroics – rather than cover a story of how a “good guy with a gun” saved lives – which further strengthens the case for Second Amendment supporters. [More]

Not surprising. It didn't fit the narrative.

That said, what's with "registered gun" in Louisiana?

They kind of are, because they're the ones who set the speakers, and they could have him address the crowd via broadcast. True, it wouldn't be the same, but it's nonetheless a choice.

Plus, what about the "entertainment"?

I know: Secret Service. Texas law.
