Who's the Embarrassment?

Look, we all get it. He is exercising his right to carry a firearm. But his exhibitionist approach is rude and inconsiderate of his fellow citizens who have no idea who he is or what he is up to. [More]

I don't think you DO get it.

If you can't see something it can't hurt you?  Isn't that equivalent to a child pulling his covers over his head to keep the boogeyman from getting him?

What you're really saying is, you judge everything by your provincial outlook.  When I went to the Georgia Carry Annual Meeting, hundreds were open carrying--in a real nice hotel in the metropolitan Atlanta area--and nobody freaked out because the practice has been socially normed there--as it has been in many places.

That won't ever happen in "gun friendly" Evansville if the very people pretending to support the right to keep and BEAR arms publicly scorn regional pioneers of the practice as "fools."

And surprise, surprise, surprise, the dashcam video doesn't support "initial reports" about whose car did the hitting.

The court denied the motion, meaning they proceed tomorrow with the revocation hearing.

I wonder how many people committed to defying him this cowardly, evil subversive is willing to have others take hostage or kill in order to do his bidding?  [Read]

And if he thinks we're just going to stand around and let them...?

I'm sure the pragmatic neocons would disagree with me. Good grief, was he distinguishing himself on the toilet when they took that picture?

An Unbelievable Scenario

This being on NBC...

A New York State of Mind

Perhaps the most hysterical, but not unexpected, handwringing came from The Boston Globe’s warning that “The best-trained police officers can be in error when actually facing an enraged gunman. If even these professionals end up shooting and injuring bystanders outside the Empire State Building, how can private citizens be expected to discern an attacker from innocent people inside a darkened theater?” [More]

"A New York State of Mind" is my latest "Rights Watch" column for GUNS Magazine.

It warns the public not to take action but to call 911...[More]

Good grief. Because we, obviously, are not highly-trained professional Morlocks.

And why am I reminded of this...?

I've been told to go see "Last Ounce of Courage."

Anybody know where it's playing that doesn't have a "No Guns" sign?

Ask a Simple Question

Authorities spent Friday afternoon looking for explosives inside the vehicle of a man who walked into the Kansas City federal building and asked if he was on a terrorist watch list. [Read]

Well hell, with all the stupid Fusion Center/DHS bs, I'd like to know if I'm on the list, too. 

Figures he "never made any threats" and everyone overreacted. And that, lo and behold, he appears to be a productive member of society.

Figures they're not receptive to Mike's offer to educate them.

Here's more on the Richard Bolling Federal Building.  Oh shoot, looky here:

All employees and visitors must present a valid form of identification and pass screening before being granted access into the building or if waiting in the lobbies for an extended period of time.

Racists.

A Special Day

Holy Moly, younger feral son Qusay turned 18!  If I release him from the pit and he mauls someone, I'm no longer responsible!

He's a good kid. He picked a good day to be born.

You know, right where anyone who knew the first thing about what they were doing would have known it was.

I have a tough time with the word "accident" on stories like this. What an inexcusably stupid way to throw away your life and to devastate the ones who loved you.

Red Sky in Morning

Scary.  Especially realizing who's ginning up the rage.  [Read]

The weasel with the "boycott Japan" bumper stickers on his Japanese car reminds me of cars I see here with police suck-up stickers--he's just advertising his appeasement hoping the injustice passes over him and happens to someone else.

Fortunately, "The NYPD and the Brooklyn District Attorney's office say they recovered 85 weapons during a gun buyback program, including 40 revolvers and an assault rifle."
