Atlanta lifts airport unsecured area gun ban

While this report focuses on unsecured public areas in airport terminals, such bans also mean “law-abiding” travelers to and from the airport could be left defenseless in sparsely-populated parking areas, as well as for the duration of their trips to and from the airport to pick up or drop off passengers. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes a travel safety enhancement, which naturally, the government doesn't like since it doesn't depend on them.

This Day in History: December 16

The newly-acquired Patriot privateer Sally, led by Capt. Benjamin Stone, had a short engagement with a large British transport ship. After having several men killed and wounded and no wind to maneuver his ship the captain had his men row the ship to a safe distance from the enemy before returning to Charleston. Capt. Francis Johnson and five other sailors were killed by enemy musket fire. Twelve men were wounded. [More]

Tolerance and Diversity

I know some academic leftist "feminist" tolerance and diversity "activists" who would be treated in precisely this manner if the whip-wielders had their way. Actually worse--all this poor creature did was wear slacks. Can you imagine what these savages would do to a woman who committed more serious expected gender behavior-related "transgressions"?

But it's us throwbacks who are the enemy.

Maybe we could get a few of those guys to immigrate here, maybe drive the cabs Americans won't drive, and basically help us secure the blessings of Liberty, seeing as how all cultures are equal and we should celebrate our diversity or else we'll get called the "R" word by the very people they'd cheerfully stone to death.

I should hope it was unrelated. In spite of the occasional concession, the frickin' FOP has been a leading voice for citizen disarmament since the old HCI days, and makes it clear their priorities are ones of your rights be damned when they conflict with their self-interest.

We're the Only Ones Rectum? Damn Near Killed 'im Enough

"When I was face down ... my legs were held and I felt a sharp jabbing pain into my rectum," Johnson testified.  [More]

And remember--if you lift a finger.

You just lift your legs.

Funny thing about health Nazi "Furious Mike": He wants to ban smoking, trans fat, salt, guns...

Funny how power junkies stay addicted to something that's so demonstrably bad for everybody else's health...

We're the Only Ones Recovering Merchandise Enough

Adrian SWAT team members, Dundee police and an agent from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives surrounded the house and used flash bombs to enter. [More]

Huh. That's funny. They didn't bring out the big guns for this shoplifter, or this one, and they knew they were armed and trained to be dangerous.

I wonder why...

Keeping and bearing arms applies to knives as well as guns

This Day in History: December 7

Sir: As the Convention Troops will have passed above you by the time this reaches you, the object of your Station at the Clove will have been effected. You will therefore be pleased to move down to Paramus with the Carolina Brigade and quarter your Men in as compact a manner as the situation of the Buildings will permit. You shall, upon my arrival at Middle Brook receive more particular instructions. I would recommend it to you, as soon as you have taken post, to make yourself acquainted with the Roads leading to the North River and have pickets established upon them at proper distances from you. You are in no danger from any other quarter. Should the Enemy move up the River in any considerable force, you are immediately to fall back to your former position at Sufferan's and send your Baggage to Pompton. Colo. Morgan furnished Mr. Erskine at Ringwood Iron Works with a guard of a serjeant and be pleased to send the like number to releive them. They are to remain there during the Winter, as Mr. Erskine will be compleating some valuable surveys for the public. [More]

Also on this day in 1941, my father turned 21. What a birthday present he received. He spent the next several years in the Pacific with the Marines, including on Guam.
