We're the Only Ones Deathly Hallows Enough
Connecticut Cop Shot During Porn Bust Outside Harry Potter Showing [More]
More detail here:
Two police officers who arrived at the scene of an arrest in the parking lot of the AMC Loews Theatre Saturday morning were wounded after fellow Plainville officers shot at their police car, a state police investigation found.
The suspect, Erik Gothberg, 45, of Southington, had left the theater and was approaching his car when police tried to arrest him, the police report states. Gothberg reached for his waistband, and Sgt. Timothy Mullaney and Cpl. Jon Eno opened fire, the report states.
Yeah, they couldn't possibly have taken him in less public-endangering circumstances or had any indication he was violent--and lo and behold, he didn't have a weapon. Yeah, he "went for his waistband." Maybe he was scratching. Or maybe trigger-happy Frick and Frack--a corporal and a sergeant, so it's not like we're dealing with rookies here--are shoot-first idiots who will do anything to make sure it's they who go home at the end of their shift--even if their "brother" officers don't.

Archives are here. They're posting by the week and replacing the show at each day's link the evening of the broadcast date--or supposed to be--I'm still banging heads with them over that.
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.
Lineup subject to change without notice.

A Mugged Liberal
The incident ended when Boswell's 22-year-old grandson grabbed a gun from another room and pointed it at the intruder -- sending him running into the woods...[More]I don't have the time or inclination to delve deeper, but will simply note that a quick check shows GOA gives him a D- and NRA gave him an A in 2003, evidently after he'd voted against decreasing waiting periods a few years earlier.

As is typical for what passes as thought at WaPo on the gun issue, there is no mention of Gunwalker, no mention of Mexican military and police corruption, no mention of real military weapons...nahhh, this is all noncontroversial, all reasonable all common sense—as long as we look to the gungrabbers to define those terms.

Sometimes, it does take a village…
Well, in addition to a “short-range FM radio transmitter,” we learn “villagers raised their own volunteer scout force [and] armed it with homemade shotguns”... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary introduces my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column and includes a brief, but telling related video from Wired.com that could not be presented there.
