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.

A Walk in the Park

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.”

The Last Best Hope

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says the Florida legislature are pushing a bill He noted that on the day of the Parkland mass shooting, if someone on campus with a firearm who was well trained, ‘there wouldn’t have been a massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.’ [Watch]

I’d love to see that self-important idiot David Hogg try to debate him.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

These morons will do instead:

Play Stupid Games Win Stupid Prizes

FAFO. [More]

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]

So I guess all that Everytown/Giffords/Brady sh!+ didn’t work…?

Majority Rules

DeSantis’ signature tips US into majority ‘constitutional carry’ nation with new Florida gun rights law [More]

True, it’s not everything it’s hyped up to be, but it’s an incremental improvement. Time now for a renewed push and holding both the Vichycons and the State Sheriffs Association’s feet to the fire.

UPDATE

DeSantis Says He’ll Call a Special Session to Consider Open Carry [More]

How would you translate “If I can get the votes”?

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.”

We’re the Only Ones Undistracting Enough

Ohio’s new distracted driving law goes into effect on Tuesday, April 4. The law makes it a primary traffic offense for all drivers to use a phone or other device while a vehicle is moving, and if caught, it could come with a $150 fine and two points on your license. [More]

If you’re from or drive through Ohio and are armed, you’ll probably want to minimize excuses for the cops to pull you over. Some of them have a tendency to not exactly empathize with the decision…

We’re the Only Ones Indemnified Enough

Section 6 – Agreement to Restrictions and to Hold Harmless I accept and assume all responsibility and liability for, injury to, or death of any person, or damage to any property which may result through an act or omission of either the licensee or the agency that issued the license. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, the licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees from such claim, suit, or action. [More]

That’s one way to scare people off from applying.

Half a Loaf

Florida gun owners may soon be able to carry concealed weapons without a license as the permitless carry bill moves one step closer to the governor’s desk after passing in the House on Friday. [More]

But, as we’ve been discussing of late, it won’t include open carry because “law and order” Republicans feel more beholden to the Florida Sheriff’s Association than they do gun owners.

Do what the antis do. Take the incremental win and then come back for more. Bruen‘s tradition and history are is on the side of open carry and they can’t document any credible increase in crime from lawful open carry so that prohibition will fall.

Unless gun owners are ready to take political revenge on the Vichycons — and that means having someone they’ll get behind and support to run against the squishes — there’s not much they can do but complain, which doesn’t accomplish much and is bad for the digestion…

Antonyuk Case Advances

Don’t look to the three-judge panel to rule favorably, which means the appeal will advance.

A Temporary Setback

Detroit armed robber shot in chest by concealed carry permit holder after threatening to kill friend: police – The alleged robber, Joshua Fordham, is a convicted felon not legally allowed to carry a gun [More]

It’s so cold in the D.

No worries. Gretchen Whitmer and the Democrats, abetted by “No right to work” union Fudds, are working nonstop to enact unchallengeable criminal supremacy.

Really, Marion?

Florida’s former NRA lobbyist, Marion Hammer, used to be a powerful force for gun rights. Sadly, that is no longer the case. [More]

The wackos, hillbillies, idiots, fruitcakes, and nuts have a point. Dissidents, malcontents, and enemies within all, according to her…

Here’s what she thinks of the general members that NRA’s existence depends on.

Kinda makes me want to wear something special at the upcoming annual meeting.

Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don’t

Once she heard “I will beat your white @$$,” the gun became appropriate, and in fact, ensured no threatened violence was carried out. [More]

As for there would have been different penalties had roles been reversed, imagine if the threat had been “I will beat your black @SS.”

In both cases, only one set of lives has been ruined.

Locker Room Talk

GOP rep unveils bill to install weapons lockers so House employees can take guns to work in ‘crime-ridden DC’ [More]

So once more government workers will have an advantage not required by law for ordinary citizen workplaces?

No prognosis for passing yet. My guess is the percentage will be in the single digits.

Any podcast pundits calling this “Huge” yet?

His Own Worst Enemy

San Francisco electrician hides his gun case in a backpack and his ammunition in a toolbox when he loads up his van for a day at the shooting range some 20 miles outside the city. Though he shares many of the liberal values of his neighbors—“I am an equality-loving pronoun-checking, hippie, San Francisco guy”—he conceals his status as a gun owner, worried that they would ostracize him if they knew. [More]

The rest is behind a paywall but I’ve read enough.

F*** this moron.

Gun Culture 2.0 useful idiots are exactly what the repackaged antis are counting on.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

What a mess! And this mess is because the NRA is so desperate for relevance that it chose to wing this effort without talking to knowledgeable people in Montana about the idea and effort. [More]

Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association exposes some heavy-handed blundering by the “800-pound gorilla” that failed to coordinate with the locals and account for the state constitution.

It’s not the first state group I’ve heard of with similar complaints. Now that they’re desperate to divert attention away from Wayne and the rubber stamp board and look like they’re doing something relevant, don’t be surprised to see more.
