Seen at Insty’s: 46% More Likely To Buy Ford ‘Cause It Didn’t Get A Bailout.
I have a Ford. Been happy with it. And, in the next year or so, I’ll likely need a new ride. But I’ve decided I’ll quite likely not buy any GM product due to bail out nonsense. And it’s a pity because I kinda had my eye on a Chevy Avalanche.
Heh.
BTW, on the radio there was a poll this morning about the birther issue. When I last listened, it was about 3:2 that he was not a citizen. Seriously. The poll on line is even money.
Funnier still, are the comments in that thread. Oy
Two handgun carry permit holders are in a fender bender. And along comes a police officer, whose son turns out to be one of the two permit holders and is also who caused the accident. Can you guess which of the three assaulted someone?
The decision of whether the city of Knoxville should opt out of the new “guns in parks” state law was postponed until Aug. 25 by City Council members Tuesday, albeit begrudgingly by some.
The postponement, unanimously approved, was proposed for the sake of waiting until all nine council members could be on-hand to discuss the hot-button issue.
And this is troubling:
Pelot said she’s still undecided — she was leaning toward the side of gun-rights advocates on the issue, until recently when the tone of many of their e-mail messages became more “alarming.”
“I haven gotten the most mean-spirited e-mails … from these so-called well-trained, law-abiding, permit-holding people,” Pelot said. “If they can e-mail me in those tones, how do I know they’re not just as dangerous (as criminals)?”
Well, words are just words and do not translate to being dangerous.
Via RedDog comments:
Are our supporters “shooting us in the foot”?
When you (and I’m not saying it’s you) correspond with your representatives, being hostile is usually not a good idea. Be friendly and matter of fact. Writing nasty letters isn’t the best approach.
Ya know, the two groups of people who seem to constantly get busted for hypocrisy are your moral values right wingers who seem to always get caught diddling someone they shouldn’t be. And those guys who tell you how you should live so you can save the world from global warming but don’t do it themselves.
Apparently, guns cause aggression. As measured in ounces of hot sauce. Or something.
Item 11.O on tonight’s City Council Agenda is:
A Resolution to prohibit handguns in public municipal parks, natural areas, historic parks, nature trails, campgrounds, forests, greenways, waterways, or other similar public places.

tonight on Gun Nuts Radio at 9pm we’re going to be talking some Camp Perry, in addition to our news roundup and info session. We’ll be joined by the Texas Highpower champion, as well as special guests from NRA, so don’t miss out on the show this week.
And a bonus:
for every new caller that has never called in before on the show, I’m going to donate $5 to NRA-ILA to help preserve our right to keep and bear arms
Ry on the NFA handbook changes:
The April 2009 edition of the NFA Handbook has removed pin & weld from the methods that are allowed to extend barrels to the minimum (16″ rifle, 18″ shotgun) length to avoid paying an SBR/SBS tax.
What happens to the millions of barrels out there that were pinned and welded?
All the people who own M4 length barrels with pinned and welded 1.5 inch flash suppressors should be concerned.
If I’m ever in town, I’ll stop by:
Since the legislation passed that would allow people with concealed carry permits to bring firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol, Johnny Brusco’s general manager Kyle O’Keefe has given some serious thought to getting his own permit, so he could carry his own gun into work to make himself feel safer at night as he closes down the restaurant.
“I feel that people who are going to be carrying handguns illegally are going to carry them anywhere they want to and they’re not going to have any regard whatsoever for the law. People who carry legally should be able to carry anywhere they want to,” O’Keefe said.
Unlike other restaurants and bars in the city, Johnny Brusco’s plans to allow concealed carry permit holders to bring their firearms into the restaurant.

I don’t follow NASCAR. I was surprised to learn that a driver could get a ticket for speeding. At the race.
A look at Brady fundraising numbers in Illinois:
In short, Brady PAC Illinois seems to have paid out roughly as much to put on its first fund-raiser as it raised in the process.
An idea that never caught on is coming back:
The first issue of the Fortis Pistol will be released as the Bren Ten.
