Another Option

Whom do you want to win in the Arizona Senate race? [More]
They didn't mention one other option...

Gun Groups Lauds Passage of Oregon Bill

"This is a truly astonishing testimony to your hard work." [More]
A surprise development on a story I've been following warranted a second Gun Rights Examiner column for today.

GRE Round Up for Feb. 25

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Paul Valone/Charlotte:
Armed defense at Front Sight: Who takes defensive handgun training?

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: Safer college campuses too?

Dave Workman/Seattle:
WA Senate bill would merge WDFW, Parks under Natural Resources

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Anti-gun Missouri Congressman at home on the (shooting) range

Chris Woodard/Tucson:
Arizona will be asking: Is President Obama eligible to hold office?

Go. Read. And please share the links.

I'm NOT "the Only One"...

Larimer County Sheriff James Alderden, outraged by the ban, told The Gazette’s opinion department he will undermine it in the interest of student safety. [More]
Excellent man. Let's hope gun owners in his jurisdiction support him. That's a brave move and he does not deserve being hung out to dry with all-too-typical apathy.

You can send him an "attaboy" here.

And you can tell Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS... I mean, CSU Police Chief Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt (the highly-trained "Authorized Journalists" spelled her name wrong) to go enable her own rape and murder and leave your rights the hell alone...uh...looks like you'll have to email the webmaster.

Be sure and take the poll that accompanies the editorial.

We're the Only Ones Offended Enough

A rarely enforced Tennessee state law was enforced Friday in Dickson when a police officer pulled a woman over for displaying an offensive bumper sticker. [More]
I guess they didn't have anybody running around in a clown mask to focus their enforcement resources on.

I don't know what offends me more--that this was allowed to happen, or comments by total police state tools like "Law Dawg."

Lost

"In all of the debate about the right to own and carry guns, the safety of the public and the officers is getting lost in the discussion"...[More]
No it's not, you liar.

I am safer when I am armed. And I don't need your damned permission, servant. The discussion is not about your safety, it's about ours. That's ostensibly the reason you receive a paycheck--and were required to swear an oath before anyone agreed to that.

You don't like it, find another host to attach yourself to.

Yo, Wyomingans or Wyomans or Wyominites or whatever you call yourselves--this kind of crap isn't supposed to be happening there. Stomp it out. get on it, spread the word and stomp it the hell out.

Don't relax because you think you've got it better than everyone else. That's the way this stuff spreads. Remove polyps while they're still benign.

First They Came for the Guns

But I was not a gun owner...[Read]

So, Toyota...how do you like it when it's your turn in the same barrel you would have the state put the rest of us in...?

We're the Only Ones Not Clowning Around Enough

An 18-year-old Tampa man was jailed Tuesday afternoon, charged with wearing a clown mask on a public road. [More]
I don't know about you, but I certainly feel safer.

A Numbers Game


Organized resistance to the Census would provide an interesting opportunity to bog 'em down--they couldn't go after everyone.

I'm inclined to put down the number of people in the household and leave it at that, and to stand on my refusal to speak to anyone without an attorney for any follow-up.

Of course, we could also throw them a curve ball...

We're the Only Ones Assuring Your Loyalty Enough

This time she was marched by two school police officers to the office, said Quereshi. [More]
You're NOT of the body!

III...

...from Vanderboegh, naturally.

Here they are:

Harmless

Bennie Price said her daughter would never have hurt anyone at the school. [More]
You'll forgive me if I take precautions to make sure? At least as far as me and mine are concerned?

Malt liquor. Good grief.

On a side note, think about what a neat invention a cane-sword was and still is.

Guess Who is Putting Lots of Guns 'On the Street'?

Gee, those are a lot of guns to put—what's the term?—"on the street." Can you imagine what the "authorities" would do to anyone who is not part of their clique for similar "negligence"?

Still think these guys are the "only ones" we can trust with them? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column finds a few beams among the motes.

Also see what Montana did that may help Utah, get some good news from Nevada, and admire a damn nice sweater in spite of some technical difficulties.

Tell a friend?

This Day in History: February 25

Capt. Lee and several Officers, who are sent to apprehend Deserters, inform me, that there are numbers of disaffected Persons in your State, who make a practice of harbouring those people. [More]
