January 18, 2011Another of those “CCW Killers”
Man touted in VPC’s CCW Killers “study” has no charges filed against him and used gun in lawful self-defense.
Why we win
Social media numbers: NRA has 690,000 Facebook fans. The Brady Campaign, on the other hand has 12,347. Even Glock has 123,000 fans.
And then, there was one
Well, not yet, but soon it looks like:
Wisconsin, one of two states in the nation that prohibits citizens from carrying a concealed weapon, is expected to reverse this law during the upcoming state legislative session despite shootings in Arizona that highlighted lax U.S. gun laws.
Only Illinois and Wisconsin forbid carrying concealed weapons. A Republican was elected governor and Republicans won majorities in both houses of the Wisconsin legislature in November, bringing many more supporters of gun rights to the state government.
I go with reasoned but civil is always optional
I do not want civil discourse
He recalls all that civility from the left.
I’m usually civil. But there are ideas and ideals that are abhorrent in every way to me. They run counter to principles. You don’t get a say sometimes. And when someone is using one of these ideals in a argument, I often find it best to tell them to fuck right off. Same when someone is redefining the argument.

Shooting stats
Caleb runs the numbers on his shooting this year. Is there an app for that or do you guys who do this just write it down?
McCarthy’s Magazine Ban
When not lending her expertise on firearms to the press, McCarthy is busing writing dumb bills that have no chance of passing. The latest is her attempt at banning regular capacity magazines. It’s a dumb bill that would ban the Henry Repeating Rifle.
Even Mayors Against Guns Bloomberg says regular capacity magazines save lives.
Fortunately, the bill has little chance of passing.
At gun shows, the market speaks. And is not scared.
The Narrative
No shortage of press saying the Tucson shootings have rekindled interest in gun control, with words like energizes and reawakened.
Except that, you know, it’s the same people just getting a brief moment to say the same things they always say.
And, you know, the debate has not really been rekindled when you look at the facts.
Do not try to catch a dropped gun
Police said a man’s gun fell out of it’s holster and fired one shot inside a Wal-Mart store off NW U.S. 90 in Lake City Friday morning.
But this is odd:
The Lake City Police Department said LJ Johnson had the concealed firearm. They said the gun and it’s holster landed on the floor. The firearm then discharged through the holster and into an unknown location.
Was it in the holster or not?
Off to a great start
Bill Haslam’s rocking start and he signs an executive order that eliminates a requirement for the governor and top aides to disclose how much they earn.
Bill was a little upset at the press and the lefties (but I repeat myself) digging into his earnings during the campaign. It’s not as bad as it sounds though:
Under the order signed after Haslam took office on Saturday, the disclosure rules applying to himself and senior administration officials will be the same as those for members of the General Assembly. Those only requires them to list sources of income, but not how much they make.
Strict Gun Control Will Seem Like The War On Drugs
Says Jeffrey Miron. True. Have you seen how ATF operates? In fact, there’s a blog called just that.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
