We're the Only Ones Unrequited Enough
A Lake County sheriff's deputy has been suspended after being charged with attempting to assault a woman whom he reportedly had been stalking for months. [More]Note this is Wisconsin:
It is now 2010, and Wisconsin is one of only two states that completely prohibits anyone but police officers and sheriffs' deputies from carrying concealed weapons for self defense.Assuming that's why they carry...

We're the Fauxnly Ones...
...the father grabbed his gun. [More]Seems like the appropriate thing to do. Those of us who know we're not engaged in predatory criminal activities would have no reason to suspect anyone trying to forcefully get into our homes would be real law enforcers, or if they were that they would be acting lawfully, so the default would most probably be to repel them.
I'm not sure I'd be inclined to fire a warning shot, though...

The BATFU Billions
Americans armed themselves to the teeth and paid through the nose to have a smoke, according to a U.S. government report released on Wednesday. [More]Yeah, people were buying more guns plus the per-stick cigar tax went through the damn roof.
It still won't be enough. It never is.
And then they'll threaten to cut "essentials" to spook the herd into giving up more.
[Via Len Savage]
We're the Only Ones Pitted Enough
An ATF agent is being tried for murder in the U.S. Virgin Islands in a case that has pitted local cops against federal agents, and caused furious U.S. law enforcement authorities to withhold help from local police while crime and gun violence in the popular tourist destination continue to climb. [More]A lot of DoJ guys are going to bat for the guy, but I keep coming back to you or I would have been mandated disarmed...and they only seem to care when it's one of their own.
I've actually had some emails and docs on this case for a few weeks, including a court transcript, and was thinking of doing a Gun Rights Examiner column on it with a Scribd embed.
Just gotta find the time...

We're the Only Ones Facing Death Enough
Four police officers are accused of gunning down two unarmed people in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the latest twist for a corruption-plagued police department that already faces several federal investigations.So if they're found guilty, does that mean the victims would have been justified in defending themselves by firing back, and killing their attackers if necessary?
The four officers could face the death penalty. [More]
In spite of anything Bill O'Reilly might have to say about it?

Sheets Removed from UT Dorm
University of Texas regents have stripped the name of a former law school professor and early organizer of the Ku Klux Klan from a campus dormitory. [More]So when can we expect the Southern Poverty Law center to demand the same thing happen to all those monuments to "Sheets" Byrd out in W VA?
Probably just as soon as "hatriot" accuser Bill Clinton stops making excuses for him...
And "fleeting association" my @$$:
West Virginia's Democratic United States Senator Robert C. Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd defended the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.Decades, Clinton, you damned liar. Decades.
And speaking of the wretched SPLC, Vanderboegh has two posts about their latest disconnects from anything honorable and truthful. See here and here.

Why would Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore 'serve' a man who wants to ban their guns?
"I pledge...to be a servant to our president..."Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a couple of "pro-gun" celebrities.
Gag me. And talk about having it exactly backwards. [More]
It doesn't look like they'll be much help.

This Day in History: July 15
A considerable fleet of french men of War, chiefly Ships of the line, has just arrived at Sandy Hook, under the command of Admiral Count D'estaing. As the Admiral is a Stranger to our Coast, and is come for the purpose of cooperating with us against the Enemy, it is absolutely necessary that he should be immediately provided with a number of skilful pilots, well acquainted with the Coast and Harbours and of firm attachment to our cause.

We're the Only Ones Sobering Enough
We're the Only Ones Shocking Enough
Janice Wells called the Richland Police Department when she feared a prowler was outside her clapboard house in the rural west Georgia town.That'll teach her!
The third-grade teacher had phoned for help. But within minutes of an officer coming to her backdoor, she was screaming in pain and begging not to be shocked again with a Taser. With each scream and cry, the officer threatened her with more shocks. [More]

Love for Sale...
Dang, that's a shame Bruce Krafft has to part with these... [Read]
It's gotta be tough to sell guns to pay bills.
Go on over and check out what he's got. Maybe you can both reach a happy agreement.
When I finally strike it rich, I plan on silently stepping in and helping friends in need. All I've got to do is pick six lousy numbers, but I can't even do that right...

We're the Only Ones Unprovoked Enough
David Palmer said he was pulled over in the 1000 block of East Carson Street early that morning. When Trooper Nassan approached the driver's side, Mr. Palmer said he told the officer he had a permit to carry a concealed firearm and a gun in his pocket.
"Nassan, without reason and without provocation, violently struck plaintiff in the head, neck and face," the lawsuit said. [More]
So much for complying with the law requiring permit holders to disclose the information during traffic stops. Based on Nassan's proclivity for making sure he gets home at the end of his shift, it sounds like Palmer's lucky to be alive.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...
Children as young as 10 are being given shotgun licences in the east of England, the BBC has learnt. [Read]Why, that doesn't sound very Sarah Brady Paradisey at all...so the "spokeswoman for the Gun Control Network" steps in.
For the children, who must be kept ignorant for their safety. Just ask her.

We're the Only Ones Captivating You Enough
So if they're going to take you hostage under force of arms with no legal authority, why would a self-defense response not be appropriate? [Read]

2A-Loving Liberals?
When it comes to discussing the Second Amendment, liberals check rational thought at the door. [More]That much I'll agree with.
But can we all get along?
We've had such discussions before.
