A Quick Word About Today's Lunatic Decision in IL

Yes, I've seen it the news.

I'm going through it, plus consulting with some lawyers on a few questions it brings to mind.

One thing I saw on page 16 of the decision that made me laugh:

Apart from the usual prohibitions of gun ownership by children, felons, illegal aliens, lunatics...

The House and Senate have voted to strike that last word from U.S. law.

Reese emergency release motion to be heard next week

Lawyers for Rick and Ryin Reese, New Mexico gun dealers imprisoned without bail for well over a year, “filed a motion to release them until their sentencing date,” a source close to the case informed supporters this morning. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders if they'll be home for Christmas...

There Will Be Blood

Really? [Read]

Figures this guy has a 17% positional intersection with NRA.

Twitchy has more.

SHOCKING NEWS!

"Authorized Journalists" lie about firearms dealers to prejudice their audiences/readers and advance an anti-gun agenda!!! [Read]

The Sounds of Silence

This week on Student of the Gun: We quiet things down a bit and work with three pistols equipped with a silencer / sound suppressor. [More]

That reminds me...I'm running low on Chore Boys...

Politics As Usual

Not that anybody, particularly the GOP "leadership" has the stones or the will to do a thing about it, or that the "Authorized Journalists" aren't giving it the same treatment that has worked so well to protect their interests in "Gunwalker"... [Read]

And not that the GOP "leadership" will offer and push any serious proposals to fix any of the conditions that will soon lead us to a critical mass where the Dems won't have to play any more tricks. 

Nor is the Canadian Experience Unique

As noted yesterday, this is my shocked face.  [Read]

You learn something every day though: I didn't know the Canadians banned "Orientals" from owning guns in WWII.  I'll have to look into that in my copious free time, and see if anybody's done a comprehensive write-up...if anybody knows anything about that, feel free to leave a link.

Now Where Am I Going to Get My Sea Turtle Boots From?

I guess poachers. [Read]

They've always been a pretty reliable source of supply for those gorilla hand ashtrays...

Any bets that the money trail from this new economic opportunity will lead back to some of those "unanimous" voters?

It's Not Easy Being Red

“These people, where are they coming from?” [More]

We keep trying to tell you: We are everywhere.

And we will not disarm.

License to Kill

Isn't that how the antis define situations like this? [Read]

I hope the homeowner had the presence of mind to clam up when he "was detained for questioning."

We're the Only Ones Going to Meet Our Maker Enough

A former Florida police officer was scheduled to be executed Tuesday for the murder of nine people in a 1986 rampage over three months. [More]

Max recalls Florida didn't enact it's uniform concealed carry law until 1987.

Calling All Traitors!

Show the world you're a proud insurrectionist, as condemned by "our men in the gun ban camp":

Go here for details on how to purchase yours.  I'll also keep the click through up in the sidebar until Kurt says "Enough!"

I note a ridiculing CSGV fanboy over at Vanderboegh's post on this lamely trying to apply Alinsky RULE 5, and note that Kurt beat him to the punch with these patches and it sounds like he knows it.  I don't let trolls in here, which typically results in anonymous posts calling me a coward that I laugh at until they finally give up in frustration--it's wonderful how someone can waste their time when they're paid with grant money, no? But then again, at least it keeps them from doing anything effective, not that they'd know how.

This Day in History: December 11

In the battle of Long Cane, which occurred December 11,1780. Colonel Clarke commanded the American forces and had 14 killed and seven wounded. Colonel Allen commanded the British force of 450 and had three killed and three wounded. The handle of a broken sword has been found near Long Cane creek where the Federal bridge crosses the stream. Everything indicates that this battle was fought at what was then the Long Cane Ford on the road from Ninety-Six to the present Abbeville by the Calhoun highway. [More]

Anti-gun politician demands renewing ban on non-existent gun

Rep. Israel's agenda is obviously not to keep someone from slipping through airport security... [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a headline-grabbing opportunist trying to slip something past what the Founders deemed necessary security, armed Americans.

No Wonder They're Politically "Liberal"

Not that I think we should cede that word to 'em...[Read]

The Chicago Way

That favor allowed Trotter to get a city permit to carry a concealed handgun, with some restrictions ... Allpoints Security has been actively supporting local political candidates with close to $50,000 in contributions over the past decade. Trotter collected $500 of that money. The firm also has a contract to provide security at city libraries.  It is worth a reported $735,000 dollars. It expires next year. [More]

And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for that idiot Trotter.

Forget it Jake. It's Chi-Town.

Still, just for yucks, read  about the professional standards and ethics.

Sporting Purposes

I was thinking about writing this up, but Kurt beat me to it in his ongoing mission to induce CSGV enuresis. [Read]

Vanderboegh also has some pithy observations (and a tangentially relevant Disney cartoon), as does The Captain's Journal.

Now That's Just Beautiful

It's great when knowing your rights works. [Watch]

It sure beats when it doesn't.

I went to the original YouTube site and saw this was originally posted in May. I don't recall if I commented here at that time or not and don't have time to check--but even so, it's a lesson well worth revisiting.
