Anti-concealed carry statistics don’t match up to real world
See, the armed Papa’s Pizza driver who defended himself from robbers in Detroit hadn’t read the Ayers/Donohue paper. Ah well, he probably couldn’t afford Stanford anyway. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there are lies, damned lies and statistics, and the gungrabbers employ all three.
Today, on The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance Radio
- Kill box
- ATF can't define what a gun is?
- Florida preemption
- DC campus carry forum
- The Only Ones
- Armed defense in CT
- Interview: Jerry Henry/GeorgiaCarry.org
- NY domestic violence gun ban
- Gunwalkin' with Vanderboegh
Archives are here. They're posting by the week and replacing the show at each day's link the evening of the broadcast date. Also note encores are being rebroadcast on Saturday.
Spread the word on this, OK? Nobody else is doing a daily exclusive gun rights broadcast in a major market during morning drive time, and if this works, it could not only create an opportunity to spread to other markets, but also open doors for efforts by others. We complain our voice is not heard in the media--here we've got a foot in the door at an NBC affiliate station to promote a full-blown no compromise message. Just a few short months ago I certainly would never have predicted I'd see that happen--or that I'd be a part of it.
Lineup subject to change without notice.
This Day in History: August 3
William Barton, Lieutenant, 1st NJ, "Proceeded to Phillips's farm(9miles)and halted one hour. Marched again for Tunkhannack, fording a creek, one and a half miles before we arrived there, which was at four P. M. This place, as usual, is situated on the river; the few former huts destroyed; land as usual, bottom. This place very remarkable for deer, bears, turkey, several of which were taken by the troops without firing a gun, there being positive orders to the contrary; otherwise might have killed many more during our halt."

Of Special Interest
William Newell, former ATF Special Agent in charge of the Phoenix Field Division has been queried about his close relationship with Kevin O’Reilly, Director of North American Affairs of the National Security Council, and why, as stated in an e-mail to him with the caveat “You didn’t get this from me”, he wanted his friend O’Reilly to keep his name secret as a source of disclosure about an ATF investigation that allowed guns to “walk” to Mexican cartel criminals. This is of special interest because the NSC conducts its meetings in the White House Situation Room. The NSC’s advisor is responsible for providing the president and other NSC members, including the secretary of defense and secretary of state, with regular updates pertaining to all aspects of national security. [More]A-yup.
And yeah, I'll take links from Forbes...
If ATF can’t tell us what a ‘firearm’ is, who can?
It’s more than just chasing after a rumor, which would be easy to dismiss or just flat-out ignore. A friend of mine has given me a real-world example, and per the concern I expressed yesterday, it involves a completely different firearm and a completely different caliber—meaning precedent has already been established—years ago—to mess with millions of gun owners based entirely on mercurial and mutable agency inconsistencies in application of rules.[More]Another Gun Rights Examiner column for today...make all the news that needs to be shared stop! Shoot, it's after 4:00 pm and I haven't even started on my radio show research for tomorrow yet...
Inside the 'kill box'
I think this story needs to go viral, because this kind of crap could happen to any of us. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report is a brief one--but one that needs to be shared because it really could be any one of us next.
A Lesson for All
No, we've already learned that The Cleveland Plain dealer is a punk rag--hopefully a dying one--willing to ultimately assign the blame for feral statist pig behavior on freedom. [More]
It's the same crap"Authorized Journalists" are doing with Gunwalker--poor ATF had no choice because of all those darn lax gun laws.

What to Do if You're Attacked by a Punching Bag
I dunno...[Watch]
Seems to me at this point your defenses have already been breached and it becomes a matter of strength, skill, luck and will. It's been my experience that many fights do end up on the ground, and an attacker's not going to just lay there like a...uh...heavy bag, and what happens next could depend as much on what he does as what you do.
I've never been a fan of one-size-fits-all defense techniques--when the dynamics get fluid, plans often go out the window and what counts is ability to adapt with what you bring to the fight. And like I said, will.
One thing I do want to make clear though: I'm not saying dismiss the video--you may find yourself in a situation where you remember it and it works like a charm for you. It's always good to have options, and this is one.

Profiling and predicting a leftist agenda in academic papers on ‘gun control’
The three knuckleheads have tripped into a stoogepile right out of the starting gate, and have no credibility for either subject matter expertise or judgment from this point on.

A Journalist's Guide to 'Project Gunwalker'-Part Five
Examiner.com article character limits preclude adding more updates to the initial and subsequently-posted Journalist's Guides to Project Gunwalker. This is a continuation of updates from this column and Sipsey Street Irregulars beginning July 28, 2011. It includes contributions from regional Gun Rights Examiners. [More]Time to open up another volume...
Are .50 BMG upper conversions going to be reclassified as firearms? An Open Letter to ATF
Because this could have such profound and far-reaching effects, not only within the firearms industry, but also among private owners who have been in compliance with currently written regulations, I’m seeking to document if this is true.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column tries to see if anything is coming in "under the radar."
Is it? [More]
No Excuses...
...but nonetheless relevant...[Read]
I see from comments that the source of this link is not universally acclaimed.
I am not in a position to argue about that, just to note that the information appears relevant--so rather than just dismiss it outright due to the messenger, we need to determine how much of it is true. This isn't an issue of making excuses for the mad dog murderer, I think my title to this post makes that clear, but I do believe our understanding the totality of facts is important--particularly for parents who send their kids to camps that espouse an ideology on either side of the spectrum--if for no other reason than to be aware that we now have a real world example of security vulnerabilities being exploited to advance extremist agendas.
I remember the camp I went to as a kid--we had rifle range practice with .22s. I checked out their website out of nostalgia and see it is now proudly gun-free.

In a way, Grayling’s done us a favor by putting all his cards on the table. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at a hive insect passing itself off as an academic.
