Authorities are investigating whether a man arrested with rifles, ammunition and drugs in his truck made statements threatening Barack Obama, but emphasize he never posed a "credible threat" to the candidate or the Democratic National Convention.Of course it was. Not to The Lightworker, to us.
The Putnam Sheriff's Department's domestic violence officer was arrested Friday night on a charge of domestic assault.Good grief. Can it get more ironic?
The database used to produce the government's terror watch lists is "crippled by technical flaws," according to the chairman of a House technology oversight subcommittee—and the system designed to replace it may be even worse.That may explain why the gunbashers want to use it to deny gun purchases...
Harris County District Attorney Ken Magidson has asked the state's top lawyer if he can legally stop his assistants from taking handguns into courtrooms despite a new law removing most restrictions on where prosecutors with gun licenses can carry their weapons.I've worked many jobs over the years. I've never wanted one badly enough that I would trade in my self-respect for it. You can get another job. Once you hand in your dignity, especially if you allow yourself to be cowed into making a habit of it, it's almost impossible to get it back.
A Connecticut youth baseball team with a phenomenal 9-year-old pitcher has been disqualified because its team is too good.Excellence is disruptive, disturbing, frightening. What we really want is to be nurturing.
40 Cops Accused of Double Dipping
Those officers may have worked their city jobs while simultaneously working their private jobs.
40 in one department sounds like more than a few, "Only One" bad apple-wise. Oh well, I'm sure this doesn't reflect a more widespread attitude that rules can be circumvented for personal reasons--aren't you?

The saving grace in Heller is that the unconstitutional verbiage in Justice Scalia’s majority opinion constitutes what lawyers call dicta — expressions extraneous to the issue presented to the court for decision, and therefore without legal force as “precedent.” Heller did not involve the possession of an M-16, or who might be disqualified from possessing firearms, or “gun-free zones,” or any statutes providing for “gun control” other than a few in the District of Columbia. Nonetheless, anti-gun legislators, politicians, special-interest groups, and media in every bastion of “gun-control” irrationality and fanaticism are already attempting to exploit the bare language, whatever its lack of legal effect, in new plots to disarm “the people.”Edwin Vieira, Jr. speaks with credibility. We would do well to pay heed.
The Rhode Island Assembly resolves to have their delegates to the next Continental Congress ask if they may build a fleet of ships at Continental expense "for the protection of these colonies."
A Queens mom was hacked to death by her ex-boyfriend in a College Point apartment building early yesterday, screaming for help for more than a half-hour before neighbors called cops, authorities and witnesses said.
One of the posts I had fun with a while back was the one about hunting a T. rex. In it, we discussed a letter published in GUNS Magazine that was inspired by the choices of armaments in Jurassic Park, and a rebuttal letter that kept the conversation going.At one point Obama sought to assure people that he would not take away their guns.You got that right, Senator.
Moates' withdrawal would leave just a single merchant still vowing to fight.Will he have to stand alone?
Jay Wallace, the owner of the Adventure Outdoors sporting goods store in Smyrna, Ga., has countersued Bloomberg and other city officials for libel in Georgia, saying they wrongly branded him as a rogue gun dealer. That case is pending.
His store also remains a defendant in the city's lawsuit. Wallace recently opted not to contest the suit at this stage in the hopes of speeding an appeal to a court more favorable to the gun industry. But he said he has no intention of quitting until his reputation is restored.
Luzerne County residents might have to wait a few days longer to obtain a gun permit, Sheriff Michael Savokinas said, but it’s all part of making the process – and the county – safer.
The wait can take up to the state-mandated guideline of 45 days, Savokinas said, which will include a thorough background check through local and state police, and a check of references.
"We're trying to ensure the safety of the residents of the city and visitors to the city," she said. "We're taking what we believe are common-sense steps to do that."
"A deputy pulled his firearm, fearing for his safety," said a sheriff's department spokesman. "The situation was deflated as quickly as it began."That's a pretty novel approach. I wonder what would happen if a non-"Only One" pulled his gun on people to show them how much he respected them? Searching their car is pretty respectful, too.
Combs spokeswoman Keesha Johnson said the cop did not pull the gun directly on the rapper, and stressed that the officers were "really respectful."
