Notes from the Resistance...
Three carloads of off-duty Deerpark police officers, outside law enforcement officials and residents headed to Hooters restaurant in Franklin, N.J., Thursday night.
While the officers were out on the town, there were no town cops on duty back in Deerpark — 35 minutes away.
I agree with Chief Werner that "the safety of the town was not compromised," but probably for different reasons.

I spoke with Ryan at Red's today. I ordered the blue hat. He doesn't know me from Adam but you wouldn't know it by our conversation. He is very personable and seems to be a genuinely humble and appreciative individual -despite the downright BS he is having to endure. He was very complimentary of you and the work you've done to get the story out. I told him you had a way of motivating people to get involved...and making them feel like crap if they don't. He laughed. I did too. Keep it up David. Thanks.
UPDATE: I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT CHRIS COX-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NRA-ILA JUST SUBMITTED A LETTER IN SUPPORT OF DEALERS FOR THE FORUM

Hmmm....looks like Principal Karen Martin has deactivated her email.Concerning responsibility, there is a topic that seems taboo unless it is dealt with negatively.
That is the subject of gun ownership.Most firearms are owned by decent honest people for a variety of uses. This includes self defense. That said, we have the responsibility with the right to keep and bear arms to know how to responsibly and effectively operate them.
A key component of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) enforcement mission is the tracing of firearms on behalf of thousands of Federal, State, local and foreign law enforcement agencies. Firearms trace data is critically important information developed by ATF. ATF has prepared the following state-by-state reports utilizing trace data which is intended to provide the public with insight into firearms recoveries.
On the march to day I was honoured with a Letter from Congress transmitting Sundry Resolutions for calling out reinforcements of Militia, to repel the threatned invasion by the Enemy, who have arrived high up in the North East part of Chesapeak Bay.
A church whose pastor is a leader in the local pro-life efforts has earned an Internal Revenue Service demand for an audit of the organization's books by posting its biblically mandated support for life on its marquee.
So here's the question: Should black people accept government's dereliction of its first basic function, that of providing protection? My answer is no. One of our basic rights is the right to defend oneself against predators. If the government can't or won't protect people, people have a right to protect themselves.
You say, "Hey, Williams, you're not talking about vigilantism, are you?" Yes, I am.
There is some small comfort in the University of North Carolina's gun-free policy on the system's 16 public campuses.Don't be so modest. Prospective shooting rampage perpetrators find enormous comfort in that.
A Newport Township part-time police officer was working as an escort when he was arrested in a prostitution sting at a Wilkes-Barre motel on Friday, according to arrest papers.
I dropped off flyers at the 3 remaining ‘big box’ sporting goods stores, Billings Gunsmith, and 2 pawn shops. I also wrote a letter to the editor of the Billings Gazette flagrantly plagiarizing your post. Will concentrate on the remaining pawn shops tomorrow with some help from coworkers. Will be emailing the info to every sportsman in my address book tonight.My response:
Gary
Gary, thank you. If there was one gun owner like you in every city, we'd be winning this thing. I just saw another forum idiot put the idea down and recommend a 'solution' that would require a thousand times the effort--with of course no pledge that he would do a thing toward making it happen.
I appreciate your leadership.
"We passed an ordinance banning firearms, and the state, in its infinite wisdom, passed a law saying people can have guns in parks and endanger our kids," said Church. "We think we ought to have the right to protect our kids and our citizenry."
The good news is that they repealed their ordinance because Georgia has a law preempting local counties or cities from "regulation in any manner" the carry and possession of firearms (other than discharge or bans regarding county employees).
The bad news is that they are so upset that they are going to lobby against the preemption law during the next legislative session.
The AJC has done something with the first article that appeared online earlier Tuesday which quoted Mayor Church of Kennesaw as saying GeorgiaCarry.org is a group “that doesn’t have anything better to do than to endanger our kids” in Kennesaw and other cities.
Well, so much for Guntown USA.
Second Amendment Organizations: Let me make this clear, I have not been speaking out to receive help, this is not about Red's Trading Post, this is about all dealers. Our case is in the hands of the Judge, I have been speaking out to raise awareness of what is happening to our Second Amendment. Since speaking out I have become an even bigger target of the ATF. I'm not looking for a pat on the back, all I am looking for is some support. Simply write a letter, acknowledging what all of us know, that there is a problem with the ATF and it needs to be resolved. Thank you!Hear, hear. Aside from JPFO and some individuals affiliated with gun rights organizations, the organizations themselves have been conspicuously absent from the fray.

FYI: I got the Virginia Citizens Defense League (http://vcdl.org/) to print links to our posts about the event in yesterday's VCDL Update e-mail so the word is getting out slowly but surely.

"It's not stopping anyone from purchasing a gun, it's that they're going to wait a few extra days to get that gun," said Trooper Linette Quinn, a state police spokeswoman. "It's not that we're trying to hurt anybody's sales or anything - it's an update to the system. It's only going to make it better."
