We're the Only Ones at Capacity Enough

Frankly, while magazine capacity might be an issue for members of law enforcement, it is not much of one for the legally armed citizen. Research into actual gunfights involving the armed citizen seldom shows more ammunition is needed beyond what’s in their concealed-carry revolver. Unlike the Walter Mitty-esque fantasy warriors, the armed citizen does not fight pitched battles with the trusty handgun. He or she uses it as an exit ticket, and it is just amazing what five or six rounds of quality defensive ammunition, accurately placed, can do to change the mindset and actions of a miscreant bent on mayhem.

Frankly, you're pretty obnoxious and judgmental, presuming one size fits all for all potential situations. And tell us about all you exalted "Only Ones" and your well-placed shots again. We're the Walter Mittys living in a fantasy world and you, why, you're community heroes!

You and your comment fanboy "BigFoot" reminds me of the loudmouthed know-it-alls who are fixtures at the types of gun stores that drive away both the new, who feel bullied, and the discriminating, who won't stand for it.

Another NRA Carry Guard Competitor Dropped as Annual Meeting Exhibitor

The withholding of exhibit space stands in contrast to one of the prime reasons for attending the NRA Annual Meeting, the opportunity for gun owners to immerse themselves in an unrivaled gathering of gun industry competitors (comparable to the SHOT Show, which limits attendance to industry professionals and media). Companies gather under one roof at the most highly attended open-to-the-public firearms-related event of the year, each offering their unique brands and services, providing attendees with near-overwhelming selections and choices. Artificially limiting what is allowed to be presented — and by whom — limits NRA member choices. [More]

Oh and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends...

Or it should be.

Allahu Akboar

Three Islamic State jihadis have reportedly been killed by rampaging wild boars near Iraqi farmland. The three Islamic State militants were cut down by the feral boar known to inhabit Kirkuk in the the al-Rashad region, a local news site claims. They attacked the militants and left three killed, Iraqi News reports. [More]

While this sounds like the type of hoax story you'd read on The Onion, a spokesman for the boars confirmed the kills:

Now there's a male role model for ya.

I don't know what's creepier -- that statement, the painting or the "artists" obvious fanboy lust for an actor, who, by the way, represents an Opposite Day "progressive" Captain Anti-America perfectly...

Appeasement with 'Honor'?

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday the United States would honor a controversial refugee deal with Australia, under which the United States would resettle up to 1,250 asylum seekers, a deal President Donald Trump had described as "dumb". [More]

“Randazzo held a position with the sole purpose to serve and protect the people of this city. Instead, he targeted certain women, persuaded them to sexually abuse their children and had them send him pictures and videos of the acts,” said Special Agent-in-Charge Melendez. [More]

If you want to know why he got to carry a gun in New York City and you don't, here's proof positive ordinary people like you and me just don't have the experience that makes a professsional so special -- or the connections to so many Demanding Moms.

With names like "National Socialist Alliance," it's tough to see how Antifa commies don't have a point screaming "Nazi!" but that seems more like rivalry over brand dominance than anything else.  [More]

The significant thing to notice here is they're advising followers about "stand your ground" and open carry.

We've noted such movement before. This thing looks like it has potential to go all kinds of sideways...

We're the Only Ones Toilet-Trained Enough

A federal air marshal on a transatlantic flight left her loaded service weapon in the airplane’s bathroom, where it was discovered by a passenger who gave it to a crew member before it was returned to the federal agent, CNN has learned. [More]

I think I've figured out one reason why you and I can't carry in the UK, in transit and in New York City while Wipeolina here can -- we have absolutely no experience with  this kind of thing, so it's best left to the professionals.

British Terror Survival Tips Ignore What to Actually Do During Attack

The message here is we can’t stop such an attack, we can do nothing when one is in progress, and the best we can hope for is to do what we can to keep victims from bleeding out before the ambulances arrive. [More]

Because to do anything more would make them ammosexuals and xenophobes.
