So here’s an idea: Cities worried about open weapons should require loaded gun-carriers to use holsters the public can clearly see. I’m thinking holsters dyed in blaze orange or fluorescent yellow. [More]I guess Dave Helling here never learned the key lesson from Tropic Thunder.

A Colorful Solution
Why Didn't You Say So in the First Place?
Black Women Murdered by Men Most Often Die by Gunfire, Usually by Someone They Know [More]Now that you've explained it that way, I finally see why the common sense solution is to disarm me.
The Vichy Viewpoint
Kalashnikovs, the Soviet-designed rifles that became the basic killing tool of armies and militants around the globe, are making a new conquest: the United States. [More]From AFP? Nice to see the socialist French weigh in.
Don't you people have someone to surrender to? Yeah, I know, that's not fair to all the French, but for "Les Journalistes Autorisés," it's probably a pretty safe bet.
Actually, aside from the headline and hysterical lede, it's not that bad an article--if you look hard enough, you'll even find they're not writing about full-autos.
And There Was War in Heaven
The Most Second-Amendment Friendly State?
Considering what, Ray Nagin and Eddie Compass pulled off a few years back, that's pretty remarkable. [Read]
You Just Put Your Lips Together and Blow
This Day in History: October 19
The Battle of Klock's Field, also called the Battle of Failing's Orchard; and occasionally as the Battle of Nellis Flatts, was an encounter between Albany County, New York militia and a British-supported expedition of Indians and Loyalists led by Lieutenant Colonel Sir John Johnson and Captain Joseph Brant.

NSSF could use Gun Rights Examiner for more than anti-Obama mailers
As “the trade association for the firearms industry [with] a membership of more than 7,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen's organizations and publishers,” NSSF making a simple announcement would have a great and wide-reaching effect, would not cost them a cent, as opposed to what they must have spent on this mailer to reach a niche audience, and might even spur the mighty National Rifle Association to lead the charge. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if you're going to go to the trouble of quoting a guy, you might as well listen to what he has to say.
Vanderboegh Medical Update
Just got off the phone with Mike. He's been going through physical rehab, basically "push/pull" exercises, but nowhere near ready for balance therapy yet.
He's still waiting for information on that sourced scoop I mentioned yesterday and in the meantime has resumed working on "Absolved." Based on a brief post he made yesterday, he's got his work cut out for him, but in reality, work is his best therapy.
Speaking of rehab, another project he wants to get in shape to tackle is trying to fix up an old beat-up Yugoslavian SKS he owns, and he's interested in hearing from any of you with knowledge and experience you can share with him on that. Aside from by email, which as his friend I'm still trying to discourage, (along with still asking you not to post comments to Sipsey Street that he'll feel obligated to moderate), you can mail him stuff the old-fashioned way, but note he's been moved to Room 1111 at Trinity Medical Center (800 Montclair Road Birmingham, AL 35213).
In addition to well-wishing cards (and very helpful, especially at this time, voluntary subscriptions/donations) he'd really appreciate if some of us would send him gun magazines we've read and have no more use for.

It's Now or Never
[Watch]
Or, they could just do this, it would have a greater effect and generate tons of publicity, and it wouldn't cost a dime.
Why won't they? As they say, "it's now or never," and it's not like Wayne hasn't been out there acting like he really cares.
A Snitch in Time
I seem to recall posting on this or something very similar some time back but can't find it now--what a great way to get rid of gang rivals, and profitable to boot! [Watch]

Importing the Sword Hunt
In November 1993, the Hattoris met President Bill Clinton in Washington, handing him part of some 1.7 million Japanese signatures calling for stricter gun control in the United States and asking the president to resolutely back their cause. [More]Because that always has worked so well in serving certain interests over there...
A Simpler Commitment
Middle and high school students will sign a voluntary pledge promising among other things that they will never take a gun to school. Elementary students will make a simpler commitment. [More]Thank goodness that's finally been resolved!
