Armed American Radio Tonight

This evening's program, beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern (those of us in time change areas remembered to "spring forward," right?) should interest us all, but hold a special interest for women in light of anti-gunners trivializing their right to keep and bear arms with demeaning and ignorant comments about "statistics."

Mark Walters' special guests tonight will be Amanda Collins and Catherine Whitney.  He'll also be joined by Eric Reed of Guns Across America.

I'll be joining in at the 10 p.m. "Roundtable"  with George "Mad Ogre" Hill and AAR producer Sean "Seanto" Young.

Colo. activists call for sporting ‘sequester’ in response to gun bills

“The hunting and fishing outdoors industry provides the state of Colorado 1.8 billion dollars a year in revenue, with an additional 1.2 billion dollars being derived from secondary sources such as Hotels, restaurants, bars and retail sporting goods stores,” the statement elaborates. “Three billion dollars is a significant part of the Colorado economy. A large portion of that figure comes from folks that live out of state and our own Colorado hunters and fisherman. [More]

That's OK.  When it's crunch time, they'll make the case they're too big to fail, and put the forced squeeze on the rest of us to bail 'em out.

Stop the Threat: Parking Lot Hold Up

From American Trigger Sports Network:
In this week's crime re-enactment, a grandmother drops her grandson off after a day at the park.  Driving home, she reflects upon her days activities when her phone rings. Fearing the worst, she discovers she can not reach her phone. She pulls over in a lit parking lot to retrieve her phone, but falls prey to armed men who lay in wait.
Stop the Threat host, James B. Towle, and guests Rob Pincus, Michael Carrizales and Wes Doss weigh in on this incident and offer their expert comments in a lively discussion.

This business about us being able to defend against North Korean missiles presupposes they won't just bring it into a harbor in the hold of a cargo ship.

With all the flak from "old guard" Republicans and the Wall Street Journal, Rand Paul must have gotten too close.  Interesting how many  HuffPo comment posters agree with that tool McCain.

This Day in History: March 8

Having been particular in desiring Major Magill to inform me what corps of militia, from this State, joined General Greene, he accordingly mentioned, that seven hundred under General Stevens, and four hundred from Botetourt, had actually joined him; that Colonel Campbell was to join, him that day with six hundred, and that Colonel Lynch, with three hundred from Bedford, was shortly expected: the last three numbers being riflemen.
