Round 2 Redux

Today on Armed American Radio Mark continues the conversation started yesterday with David Codrea on Pam Bondi and her 2A chops or lack thereof. Is she right for gun owners as head of DOJ after her support for Florida’s post Parkland gun control bill? [Listen]

In case you missed it live and want to hear it.

Here’s Round 1.

And my elaborated thoughts on what Donald Trump’s election means for the Second Amendment are here.

Daily Defense Redux

Today on AAR Daily Defense, Mark chats with long-time AAR contributor, blogger, and citizen journalist, David Codrea. Topics include the makeup of the Trump cabinet from a gun rights perspective. Mark and David discuss bills likely to move quickly…or not…and then turn attention to Pam Bondi for AG. David is no fan and eloquently articulates the reasons why, including her past support for anti-gun measures in Florida as state AG. Mark counters with analogies and gives her the benefit of waiting out the hearings. She will no doubt be put on the spot during the confirmation process and allowed to articulate her 2A positions moving forward as AG. A lively discussion, so good in fact, that David returns on Wednesday to wrap up his legitimate concerns. [Listen]

My latest Firearms News piece, “Donald Trump and Republicans Owe Gun Owners, and It’s Time to Collect,” elaborates on my position.

Let’s hope our feelings are misplaced.

The Best Laid Schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang Aft Agley

If you tried to listen in to Daily Defense you’ll see I didn’t make it due to phone difficulties.

I was having internet issues a few weeks back and had to replace my modem and router, and the tech also replaced the “land line” phone modem in the basement because I’d had the original since 2007 and it was no longer something they serviced.

Anyway, I tried calling in several times and couldn’t get the AAR phone to ring. I did get through on my cell, but the reception was so lousy we couldn’t hear each other. After several attempts we decided to call it a day.

I called my provider and they had me do the old pull-the-plug-out-and-wait modem reset, and that didn’t work. I called back and after doing diagnostics he figured out the problem was when the new modem was installed, the state of Ohio requires me to sign an agreement that emergency calls will show my address– which I was never told about. So bottom line, not having my agreement, they disconnected me — without telling me. I didn’t find out until I’m trying to be heard by a couple hundred stations nationwide…

Anyway, I finagled with the tech over the phone for another 40 minutes and after not being able to get anything to work he scheduled a service call tomorrow afternoon.

Ah, well.

In the scheme of things, if this is my biggest personal immediate complaint today, I thank God for having had such a charmed life… so far.

That’s it for me ’til tomorrow. I have ribs slow-cooking that I’ll stick under the broiler in an hour, and some cornbread to make for dinner tonight. That and bacon and beef sausage beans, and some homemade coleslaw…

Getting into the Christmas spirit here…

I gotta get a new picture– I haven’t worn glasses since I got my eyes done, what, four or five years ago now…?
