A Shot Across the Bow

A Polk County legislator who once fired a warning shot to scare away burglars has introduced a bill in the Florida House that would expand the state's "stand your ground" law. [More]

That seems kind'a Bidenesque. 

I guess I'm not understanding why you would want to do that, but I guess, as long as you keep Cooper's rules in mind and don't hurt anybody...

If I did feel compelled to do that, my story -- through my lawyer, as I'd never  speak directly to the police -- would be I guess I missed, meaning an expansion of the law wouldn't be needed.

I guess I need to get out of my own way here -- I'm the one who's always saying there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to unpredictable situations.

Judicial nomination held over for U.S. Attorney in Reese case

The Judiciary Committee’s decision to hold the nomination has no doubt been influenced by these developments, which would have never come to light had the family not decided to fight the charges against them and to not give up against crushing odds, and had a handful of activists not taken it upon themselves to bring details of their ordeal to light that the mainstream press has ignored.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a temporary hold, and asks for your help to make it permanent, so that another Obama nominee who gets convictions against those he persecutes by withholding evidence from juries doesn't get elevated to the federal bench.

Holder answer on contempt charge shows disrespect for more than Congress

Idaho federal gun enforcement protection bill goes to committee tomorrow

“This legislation is to protect Idaho law enforcement officers from being directed, through federal orders, laws, rules, or regulations enacted or promulgated on or after January 1, 2013, to violate their oath of office and Idaho citizens' rights under the Idaho Constitution, Article 1, Section 11,” the bill’s Statement of Purpose explains. “This Constitutional provision disallows confiscation of firearms except those actually used in commission of a felony, and disallows other restrictions on a lawful citizen's right to own firearms and ammunition.

 This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes another state attempting to exercise some sovereignty.  I realize there is no shortage of regressive "supremacy clause" weenies out there doing their best to trash and ridicule such efforts. 

We shall see.

Letters to Obama

Last week, we talked about Obama soliciting "gun violence" stories and I urged readers to instead send stories of violence prevented with guns, or alternately, "gun violence" perpetrated by the "Only Ones" the citizen disarmament control freaks think should have guns.

Twitter liberty colleague Brenda Gale stepped up to the plate and knocked the ball out of the park. Here's what she sent in and is allowing me to share with you:

Ten years ago I was able to defend myself, and my home against 2 masked, male intruders with a legal firearm. Working alone, very late into the night on a room remodel project-I did not hear the assailants entry, nor their approach. There was no time to dial 911, nor fumble about for a whistle or anything else you folks like to suggest. Because, I was properly INSTRUCTED and CARRYING in my own home, I was able to merely brandished & threaten to avert a potentially deadly situation.

Now, is THIS the point where you will begin to call me a "gun nut"?..and why would you do that?...Because I had taken extra care, at some point in my life preparing for a situation just like this? Because at some point I took responsibility for MYSELF and sought instruction and a weapon to protect that life?? Or Am I a "gun nut" because in this proactive pursuit of lawful and proper self defense, I became enamored of the techniques and the weapons themselves? A natural progression, wouldn't you say? Certainly you can relate, a skeet shooter such as yourself?

In most cases, preparing ahead is commended and most desired. Yet what I see with this Administration, is quite the opposite. Seeking to restrict even further my self defense options-punishing me for the crimes of idiots who don't know the LAW much less follow it.

And that's what I call NUTS.

I'd go a step further and call it evil, even at the risk of CSGV dismissing me because of my race.
