Ask if they’ll sign one of these:

I thought at first it might be an Ohio law thing about places that serve alcohol, but Giffords, of all groups, gives us an “out”:

Ohio also generally prohibits possession of firearms in establishments licensed to sell liquor in rooms or open air arenas where alcohol is being served on premises, although this restriction generally does not apply to people who are licensed to carry handguns or otherwise eligible for permitless carry, if they are not consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and if the establishment does not restrict firearm carrying.

I see some comments suggest carrying anyway and they’ll never know. I won’t for two reasons that have nothing to do with their property rights: First, anyone telling me up front they don’t trust me and would rather see me dead than armed won’t get a dime from me, and second, advertising up front that they’re a gun-free zone attracts dangerous scumbags I’d rather not expose myself and my family to.

The Nutty Professors

Five University System of Georgia (“USG”) professors filed suit to block a 2017 statutory amendment that removed public colleges and other public postsecondary educational institutions from the statutory definition of “school safety zone.” [More]

I’m wondering which fields in academia don’t require being an obnoxiously self-righteous leftist moron to get tenure.

Act Now for Permitless Carry in NC

With the General Assembly’s May 4 “crossover deadline” looming, we need a hearing for House Bill 189 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) ASAP. If the bill doesn’t clear at least the NC House, it will be dead for the two year session, effectively meaning it can’t be re-introduced until 2025. You helped us pass SB 41. Now help us pass constitutional carry, eliminating the need for a governmental “permission slip” to exercise your Second Amendment rights. With recent passage in Florida, NC is now among a minority of states which have failed to pass constitutional carry. [More]

If you’re a North Carolina gun owner worth a damn you will sign the petition and contact the Republican leadership and Judiciary Committee members. GRNC couldn’t make it easier. If you’re a North Carolina gun owner NOT worth a damn, I doubt if you’re over here reading this.

I do have a nit to pick with my friends at GRNC: I reject the notion that “some gun rights advocates have objected to the lack of a training requirement.” If they do, that makes them gun CONTROL advocates. And you know how I feel about trainers who put the thin green line over principles.

Nebraska Legislature passes permitless concealed carry bill [More]

Good for them.

This is what caught my attention:

Lincoln Police released a statement after the vote: “The chief is disappointed in the legislature’s decision because the most important factor in making these decisions should be public safety and the men and women who serve our community.”

Where I come from, 55% is a failing grade.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

Recently, Fred Edgecomb, who has been affiliated with both the NRA and its state affiliate, the NC Rifle & Pistol Assoc., was heard claiming credit for passing Senate Bill 41 to repeal NC purchase permits and expand concealed carry into churches sponsoring schools. GRNC members should understand that neither NRA nor NCRPA had any apparent role in passing SB 41. NRA lobbyist DJ Spiker only showed up at the last minute, and we are unaware of any significant action by NCRPA. In truth, it was GRNC volunteers who sent alerts, packed committee meetings, walked legislative hallways, and deluged legislators with input. [More]

Some might call that SOP…

The latest GRNC alert requesting support to pass permitless carry is out. All I have is their email and my WoG Placeholder blog didn’t display html right. If I see a working link from GRNC anytime soon I will update this post so those interested can go to where they can see and click on action items.

UPDATE

See comment.

Good Guy with a Gun

According to Asst. Chief Ernest Garcia, four suspects in masks entered the store and started robbing customers at gunpoint. That’s when an armed customer pulled out their weapon and shot at the suspects, Garcia said. Three of the robbery suspects were shot. [More]

This makes it seem like he has a good presence of mind. Let’s hope that extends to what he told police before seeing an attorney. And let’s hope the attorney advises the intent was not to stop a robbery, it was because the gun owner was acting in self-defense.

Neighbors in shock after learning beloved couple were the hostages in deadly Roseville shooting [Watch]

Naturally, the scumbag has a record. And naturally, the story goes light on who shot the hostages. And why the “Only Ones” thought going after a known danger in a public place is left unexplained.

There’s no indication the victims would have been so inclined, but assuming either of them had gone through all the hoops for a Placer County CWP, California Democrats and the predator empowerment lobby have taken steps to “ensure “designat[e] vital community spaces like parks and playgrounds as off-limits to weapons throughout the state.”

However, the prosecutor said the shooting was not justified because Colie shot someone who was unarmed inside a mall. The judge denied the bond request and believed Colie was a danger to the public.

And the harasser got within six inches? I may have reacted physically, too, and we know what a well-placed fist can do.

I don’t think it’s out of line to wonder what the prosecutor and judge would have done had this moron’s shooter been an “Only One.”

It’s Only ‘Common Sense’

“We’ve modified the decree that allows the possession and carrying of guns,” he continued. “In other words, in general terms … the possession and carrying of guns for civilian use in personal defense is authorized, in accordance with the requirements of law and regulations.” [More]

Critical Mas

End Gun Free Zones – Massad Ayoob & the Solution to Stop Mass School Shootings. [Watch]

Yep.

The only point I would presume to add any kind of caveat is on the identities of the killers. We need to know them so that we aren’t entirely dependent on police and media to find out more, especially about their political views, as we’ve seen it become SOP to take down their social media accounts when they don’t fit the narrative profile.

I don’t have a solution except maybe to have some standard of grading media coverage to incentivize not going overboard in rewarding the aberrations with “fame” — and that doesn’t seem likely as the focus with the latest atrocity is on blaming Christians for the latest monster being driven to slaughtering children because of their “intolerance.”
