"In the Name of Safety"
A comment poster over at KABA captured a screenshot from NRA-ILA (scroll down linked page) saying firearm training should be required before carrying a weapon. Apparently someone thought better of the wording choice and deleted it.
While you're there, don't forget to read the article prompting the comments.

We're the Only Ones Who Aren't the Only Ones
Sheriff Barry J. Jozwiak, of Berks County, Pennsylvania, apparently didn't get the memo about law enforcement officers being the Only Ones professional enough to keep and bear arms.
Armed and Safe introduces us to a sheriff who understands "Gun control does not reduce crime."
I see the House Judiciary Committee is going through the same nonsense its Senate counterpart engaged in a while back.
I don't expect the truth will hold much sway with those intent on advancing their political fortunes at the expense of their countrymen's rights.
Good catch, Kurt, and fine presentation.
We're the Only Ones Misfit Enough
The Maywood Police Department -- a 37-man force that patrols a gritty square-mile city south of downtown Los Angeles -- has become a haven for misfit cops who have been pushed out of other law enforcement agencies for crimes or serious misconduct.Thank goodness they're "The Only Ones" in Maywood authorized to carry firearms!

We're the Only Ones on the Defensive Enough
The case against Anthony Reynolds, 29 -- who is charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and armed habitual criminal -- has led to official misconduct charges against a Harvey detective and has put Mayor Eric Kellogg on the defensive in an election year because of an accusation that he helped Reynolds remove his weapon from the police evidence room.
There are "Only Ones" and then there are "Harvey Only Ones".
We're the Only Ones Warranted Enough
The use of hundreds of police officers in a series of raids and searches which uncovered one gun in south Manchester was warranted, senior officers say.
Otherwise, UK "Only Ones" might have gotten hammered...
Thompson Stupid on Guns, Too
It’s one of the few issues that former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson and his Democratic successor, Gov. Jim Doyle, ever agreed on: Both opposed efforts to legalize the carrying of concealed weapons.
Alphecca says "Goodbye, Mr. Chips."
Don't Call Them Anti-Gun, Call Them Pro-Defenselessness...Wait a Minute...
Lawmakers who take the law enforcement community’s alarm to heart are better characterized as being pro-safety, rather than anti-gun, and we suspect most Montana sportsmen understand that regardless of how they feel about the bill.
If only The Helena Independent Record knew how much I care about what "sportsmen" feel on this matter...
Bottom line: If you're against people defending themselves, you're anti-human. Gloss that over any way you want, but it's the truth.
This Day in History: April 4
I heartily wish the money had arrived sooner, that the Militia might have been paid as soon as their time of Service expired. the disappointment has given them great uneasiness and they are gone home much disattisfied; nor have I been without severe complaints from the other Troops on the same account. When I get to New York, I hope a sufficient sum will be there ready to pay every claim.

May I Be Frank?
It’s not like Frank is asserting his right to keep and bear arms as a matter of Constitutional principle. He just wants his guns, and the hell with everybody else. You see, Frank is not only a member of Michael Bloomberg’s cabal of anti-gun mayors stumping for more citizen disarmament laws, but he also wrote an executive order to ban gun shows in Jackson, Miss., along with closing down gunshops.
"May I Be Frank?," my Rights Watch column for the April issue of GUNS Magazine, is now online.
GUNS Magazine, April 1957
It is well-known that the female is deadlier than the male, including small-fry. When an intruder broke into a private home in Pittsburgh while her parents were away, a 12 year old girl went to the drawer where dad kept his revolver, loaded the .38 as she had been taught to do safely, and fired two shots at the intruder. The first shot hit the ceiling, hut the second hit the break-in artist's leg as he hopped out the window, resulting in his capture when he reported to a doctor for treatment.Fifty years ago, this story brought nods of approval. Today, it would bring endangerment charges against the parents and disapproval from the community at large.
The April 1957 issue of GUNS Magazine is now online.

- Crows are Tricky Targets
- Why American Shooters Lost the Olympics

Can't These Psychos Read?
[Click on image to enlarge]A University of Washington researcher was shot to death in her office Monday morning by a former boyfriend who then turned the gun on himself, police said...That's strange...I wonder where UW spokesman Norm Arkans is--or was at the time of the shooting:
The 26-year-old woman was granted a restraining order last month against Jonathan Rowan, according to court documents.
“This is a learning institution, and there is really no need or cause to possess a weapon on campus,” Arkans said. “Not allowing guns on campus contributes to public safety and greatly reduces the risk of anything happening, accidental or otherwise.”Right you are, Norm. Imagine what might have happened if Ms. Griego had been armed.
We're the Only Ones Reinstated Enough
The city and its police department must take back an officer fired last fall amid accusations that he had used a stun gun on a handcuffed prisoner, an arbitrator ruled Monday...Of course they did.
Investigators concluded that Santiago, 24, of Lorain had done nothing to deserve being shocked. Santiago was handcuffed in the back seat of a cruiser when he was stunned, the report said.
The Fraternal Order of Police appealed Bozsoki's dismissal to the arbitrator.

We're the Only...Oh, There it is...
Former Asbury Park Police Director Louis Jordan has his gun back, law officials said Monday.
Jordan, of Tinton Falls, had reported his gun was missing on March 23. He has said he last knew he had it on the night of March 17, but first realized it was missing on March 20.
At that point on March 23 when Jordan reported his gun was missing, Long Branch police already had it in their possession, Long Branch Public Safety Director William A. Richards said Monday. An individual had found the gun at a commuter parking lot...
See, this is why we need gun registration and licensing--so "The Only Ones" can lose a gun, report it missing, search all over for it, and then find out it's in their possession from the freakin' newspaper...
Tell me this would have all ended happily had Jordan been a mere citizen.
We're the Only Ones April Fooling Enough
As they placed their bags on the conveyor belt and went through security, Kate’s bag triggered a detector.Michelle Malkin demonstrates that, when it comes to pranks, there are "The Only Ones" and then there are the rest of us.
According to Kate, when the detector went off a Transportation Security Administration employee said, "That’s it, call police."
As more TSA employees surrounded her, Kate suffered a severe asthma attack.
That’s when a supervisor told her it was an April Fool’s joke.

Shameless Plug: Stand Free or Crouch in Servitude
Or what if I’m one of those policemen Commissioner Kelly doesn’t trust? What if I have no probable cause for a search warrant but I don’t want to let the Fourth Amendment get in my way any more than the Second does in NYC? Why not just call in the tip myself, and enjoy a toll-free bypass around the Constitution?
"Stand Free or Crouch in Servitude" is a rebuttal to the anonymous "gun tip" program endorsed by New York Daily News columnist Stanley Crouch, and my Rights Watch entry for the May 2007 issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at upright newsstands throughout the Republic.

You Can Concealed Carry and You Can Open Carry, But...
A Sandusky man was charged with improper handling of a firearm even though he had a license to carry it...He was reportedly seen carrying his hand gun in his front pants pocket, even though he said he was trying to keep it out of sight.
I don't get what the "crime" is here. He can argue that he placed the gun on the dashboard to comply with the arrest by voluntarily disarming. And I love the way the "authorized journalist" describes the arrest protocol as "asking him to back up and drop to his knees before they handcuffed him."
What if he'd said "No"?
Do As I Say
SEAN COMBS has warned teenagers in Britain to stop the gun violence - because once they get involved with the wrong people, "there's no turning back".You tell 'em, Daddy...uh...Diddy...uh...
