That is simply not borne out. Just ask drunken feral pig Anthony Abbate (see sidebar video player), taking advantage of Chi-Town citizen disarmament edicts to beat the hell out of a woman less than half his size.

This Day in History: August 15
The Penobscot Expedition, a little-known event in Revolutionary War history, took place from July 25 to August 15, 1779. That year the British were attracted to the Penobscot peninsula (Castine) for several reasons: as a possible Loyalist haven, as a source of timber for the King's Navy, and as a strategic naval base and coastal trading post.

Depending on police for personal safety is a no-win game
That’s more than delaying call response—that’s preventing calls in the first place—and doing it to preempt rights and for self-serving reasons. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary wonders what kind of game authorities are playing where they not only won't allow you to protect yourself, they won't even allow you to call them for help. All in the name of "public safety."

Burgess v. Wallingford
I had Richard Burgess on the program today. Bottom line: He was arrested for open carry, which is legal. He's essentially funding his lawsuit by himself and nobody should have to do that, as what he's doing will benefit all "Constitution State" gun owners.

Now THAT'S Funny Right There
As a boy, I always thought G.I.Joes were suspect for that reason--we didn't have the term "action figure" back then, and the kid in the neighborhood who had one was, like 11, a year younger than me, and he watched Jonny Quest, which, face it, was for children, so he was suspect too. That I generally managed to find an excuse to be in the room when my little brother was watching it was entirely coincidental.
As for the neighbor kid's G.I. Joe? A stake, a blindfold and a Daisy was about the only thing we could figure to do with it that was any fun.

This Day in History: August 8
At four o'clock on the afternoon of August 8, 1779, Major Henry Lee, with four hundred infantry and a troop of dismounted dragoons started from New Bridge (now River Edge, New Jersey), on a march of 14 miles (23 km) through the woods to make an attack upon the British fort at Paulus Hook. He detached patrols of horse to watch the communication with the North River and stationed parties of infantry at different roads leading to Paulus Hook. At Union Hill he filed into the woods where by the guide's timidity, or treachery, the march was prolonged to three hours before gaining the right road. The same night, Colonel Van Boskirk left Paulus Hook with a force of one hundred and thirty men to make a raid upon the neighborhood. Fortunately the two parties did not meet. [More]

NRA call for Holder to be fired a waste of political capital
In fairness, you should read the case LaPierre makes. I did, and frankly, it does not bring me any closer to his position. In fact, reading skillfully crafted marketing claims like “When NRA first began our campaign to fire Eric Holder we were one of just a few voices in the wilderness” makes my jaw drop at the sheer, amazing chutzpah of it. I guess, yeah, this campaign is their baby, but somehow, LaPierre in camel hair rags eating locusts and honey, was not the first thought in my mind back when there really were voices in the wilderness, who knew they were on to something huge and dangerous, and who were doing everything in their power to...[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes that the wilderness is a big place--maybe we just missed him?

Of Special Interest
William Newell, former ATF Special Agent in charge of the Phoenix Field Division has been queried about his close relationship with Kevin O’Reilly, Director of North American Affairs of the National Security Council, and why, as stated in an e-mail to him with the caveat “You didn’t get this from me”, he wanted his friend O’Reilly to keep his name secret as a source of disclosure about an ATF investigation that allowed guns to “walk” to Mexican cartel criminals.

What to Do if You're Attacked by a Punching Bag
I dunno...[Watch]
Seems to me at this point your defenses have already been breached and it becomes a matter of strength, skill, luck and will. It's been my experience that many fights do end up on the ground, and an attacker's not going to just lay there like a...uh...heavy bag, and what happens next could depend as much on what he does as what you do.
I've never been a fan of one-size-fits-all defense techniques--when the dynamics get fluid, plans often go out the window and what counts is ability to adapt with what you bring to the fight. And like I said, will.
One thing I do want to make clear though: I'm not saying dismiss the video--you may find yourself in a situation where you remember it and it works like a charm for you. It's always good to have options, and this is one.

I see from comments that the source of this link is not universally acclaimed.
I am not in a position to argue about that, just to note that the information appears relevant--so rather than just dismiss it outright due to the messenger, we need to determine how much of it is true.

Another One
That's it. Note to City of Canton: If your feral pig stops me, I'm just going to assume my life is in danger and act accordingly, using all necessary force to repel him.
Enough of your police state bullshit.
And while you're at it, get rid of your resident Nazi-lover.

Spread the word on this, OK? Nobody else is doing a daily exclusive gun rights broadcast in a major market during morning drive time, and if this works, it could not only create an opportunity to spread to other markets, but also open doors for efforts by others. We complain our voice is not heard in the media--here we've got a foot in the door at an NBC affiliate station to promote a full-blown no compromise message. Just a few short months ago I certainly would never have predicted I'd see that happen--or that I'd be a part of it.

Appropriations Committee calls for independent Gunwalker investigation
"[T]he House Appropriations Committee included report language in the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill (H.R. 2596; H. Rept. 112-169) that recommends the appointment of 'an outside, independent investigator,' who would be charged with conducting 'a thorough investigation of the allegations against ATF with respect to Operation Fast and Furious and policies guiding this and similar operations.'” [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at where things probably need to go next.
Well, Here's the Youngster Right Here...
There's bunches of Gunwalker hearing videos in the Oversight and Reform channel sidebar--and I notice views are only measured in the hundreds.

Speaking of TSA...
Received via email:
The reply:
I think this would be more effective if they put "GUN" on the side in big red letters.
And I'm told:
UPDATE: From a different source:
TSA is trying to kill the armed pilots program. Pilots are very sensitive to how much stuff they want to lug around on trips. Instead of allowing them to keep the USP compact concealed in a bag of their choice, they will be requiring they be carried in a large metal box, 10 pounds without the gun. Some are already not re qualifying in anticipation of the new rules."Any way to source this?" asks I.
The reply:
My dad just called me apoplectic (the gun is the way for them to bypass the slave-training/security but now the inconvenience of the box.....). got done with his requal and they gave him "the box". I'll try to get him to email me a picture. They're very secretive about the whole program for unknown reasons so I doubt there will be a press release.The picture:
It's the silver one on the left.
And I'm told:
For more back story, when the program first started, TSA was going to make them use the smaller box on the right. Due to outcry, they let them carry concealed in a bag of their choice. Now the big silver kevlar "back pack" will be required.
UPDATE: From a different source:
Don't list me as a source (SSI), but it is not silver, and it is not a backpack. I don't have one yet (and will avoid it for as long as possible), but it is black, nylon or perhaps kevlar soft-side case designed to accommodate a lock. Guess they got tired of discharges from the previous idiotic system, so they replaced it with a new idiotic system.No idea why a discrepancy, but it appears the basic facts are borne out. Maybe they have different models for different pilots...?

Looks Like They're Finally Fixing Archives
Listening to yesterday's show as I type...
Oh, and in the very last segment, I give some hints and clues about the Newell emails to O'Reilly--I just couldn't talk about them in any more details--just know this--Mike really was a champ in making this come out in today's hearing. And there was no small amount of concern over the weekend with him knowing the details...
