Trigger Sports Live!
You can watch yesterday's interview here.
We discuss a video about open carry that starts at around 16:50. My segment starts around 22:30.
I'm trying to figure out why the camera is so jerky. Last week I had it set at 30 fps and it worked OK but every once in a while would freeze, like too much data was streaming in and clogging the pipeline. This week I scaled it back to 25 fps and it looked fine on my end, but in playback looks jerky, more like 5 fps. My Internet connection is high speed cable, but the lights on the modem were flashing a bit yesterday, so there could have been connectivity issues--we are having some weather here. Then again, it could have been with Skype, or on ASTN's end...
Ah well, I never claimed to be Dr. Zarkov...but I'll keep working on it. Any ideas on what I could try from those of you who work with technology more advanced than my old pull-start model will be welcome...please use very small words and try to talk like Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan if you don't want my eyes to glaze over.

We're the Only Ones Being Held to Account Enough
I guess that's another way to go after weapons-makers...in classic "Only Ones"-style.The indictment alleges that Harper, who was employed by Glock as an outside legal counsel, and the other men set up bank accounts and transferred funds and assets from Glock to those accounts for "their own personal use and control."
Harper...worked as a federal prosecutor under a number of U.S. attorneys in Atlanta. [More]

No Need to Be On Edge
An attacker could find many places to hide at Hocking College, a campus carved into a forest in the Appalachian foothills. And with the threat of a mass killing looming over black students at the community college, Allen Edwards is steering clear of the trees. [More]Oh would you please settle down and knock off with the hysteria?
You're perfectly safe. See?
What the hell more do you want?[Via Plug Nickel Times]
The Luck o' the Irish
BURGLARS will arm themselves with deadly weapons because of proposed laws allowing homeowners to use lethal force against intruders, it was warned yesterday. [More]So just give' em what they want then, and put your faith in the luck o' the Irish...
Carol Sente Typical of Politicans Who 'Support Second Amendment'
That's the problem when people start telling lies, and it validates the wisdom of Aesop when he told us of the boy who cried wolf. When Sente starts calling other people liars, we don't know who to believe. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a politician with a big "but."
Also get a recap on my interview yesterday on Trigger Sports Live!, watch some Texas Gun Sow protest videos, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: January 28
I received your favour of the 26th. pr. Express, inclosing Returns of the Maryland Companies of Artillery and the Law of that State for recruiting their Battalions. Their Bounties are generous, but I very much fear that nothing short of drafting will have the desired effect. [More]

Steve Lee...
It's Australian for "Fudd".
Some of the guns are so dangerous that they are banned in Australia, meaning Mr Lee had to travel to Cambodia to film much of the clip... Mr Lee said that while he was happy about his overseas success, he would not like the issue of gun control in Australia to go the way of the US debate. "You have got to abide by the law, and there are some people out there who shouldn't be able to use guns. [But] I like guns, and I use guns in the bush" [More]Yeah, that really appeased the opposition, there, didn't it, mate?

A Deadly Assault Umbrella, No Doubt
I'll bet it has one of those semiautomatic latch releases that let it open with one squeeze of the button. I need to get me one in time for the next Bumbershoot.About 40 people in the store, including customers and employees, were told to gather at the front of the store, where they took cover and were guarded by officers. Other officers then conducted a sweep of the store, and found the man in a bathroom.
He was carrying an umbrella. [More]
And I do apologize for that...

Kermit Alert
A bloody Kermit the Frog doll that closed Peak to Peak Charter School and brought out the Boulder County bomb squad last week was the result of a student prank gone wrong, according to Lafayette police. [Read]We should just thank our lucky stars it wasn't a Mooninite.
I wonder what freedoms we can give up to ensure this sort of thing will never happen again?
No Terrorism Link
Investigators also found Middle Eastern red and white traditional headdress... [More]Well then that cinches it. With an "assault weapon" that's been "altered to fire .50-caliber ammunition" (any bets the "Authorized Journalist" thinks it's a .50 BMG capable of shooting down 747s?) he must be one of those right wing extremists. Because Allah knows, the other kind has nothing to do with planning attacks on military installations.
Still, I am surprised the FBI had the manpower to investigate, what with the resource drain over at the SHOT Show...
