Illegal Collusion and Restraint of Trade by Any Other Name

Elon Musk Confirms Apple Is Threatening Twitter’s Presence In Its App Store – “Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why” [More]

We know why.

Maybe Elon should ask woke Tim Cook if he gave any consideration to minorities being able to get concealed carry permits with the same level of attention he was able to get by bribing a corrupt sheriff to sign off for his private security detail.

That ain’t the half of the corruption and I may just revisit this in an article…

Because Everyone Knows Correlation Equals Causation!

Maybanks and Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness agreed that the increases in gun charges are attributed to gun law changes — such as that carry permits are no longer required in Iowa. Maybanks acknowledged that individuals have a constitutional right to carry a firearm, but if they have been convicted of a felony or use the gun illegally, they have no such right. [More]

So leaving aside the obvious for a moment, how does permitless carry change any of that?

Oh, it doesn’t?

Then why would Janet say that?

Great job there just parroting and not questioning that, “authorized journalist” Trish Mehaffey!

Gentlemen’s Agreement

Before she knew it, the gentleman in the black shirt, black backwards hat (as seen in the video), basically football tackles my mom and my mom just remembers flying and that’s it,” Nicole said. [More]

Why, when telling reporters about violent and cowardly sociopathic scumbags, do so many people call them gentlemen?

As to why the victims were defenseless, well, maybe they backed the wrong “Only One.”

What I’m actually most curious about: Did old groomer “Sir Elton” trot out more cub scout strippers?

Who’s Responsible?

‘Publix denies any liability’ for grandmother, toddler’s murders in Florida grocery store [More]

Ordinarily, I’d agree unless deliberate indifference to known dangers could be demonstrated. We are generally responsible for our own defense. Still, statements against customers being armed don’t help discourage predators, although, in Florida, open carry outside of specifically defined limited circumstances still isn’t an option.

As for companies that disallow any kind of carry, I’d like to see more gun owners hand the manager this card and spread the word about his refusal to sign it:

We’re the Only Ones Tasteful Enough

A Homeland Security agent and his friend were accidentally shot at a wine tasting in Florida when his gun fell to the ground, according to police. [More]

I need to up my training. Not being a professional, my wife and I have been going to a wine-tasting fundraiser for a group we support for many years now, and I haven’t even come close to shooting myself, let alone her along with me.

One question though: Is that what I think it is?

Anybody know if off-duty “Only Ones” are exempt?

We’re the Only Ones Dated Enough

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith. [More]

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”

In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

The Enemy Within

Caught On Tape! Florida’s 2A Committee Chair Against Constitutional Carry w/GOA’s Luis Valdez [Watch]

And on top of that, he’s got an insufferable “Only Ones” mentality.

With the latest DeSantis disconnect it seems like Florida Republicans are going out of their way to alienate gun owners.

And not just Florida Republicans…

Advice to the Brainlorn

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I can’t believe I have to write this. When my daughter, who lives in a large city that had a recent mass shooting event, hosted a party at her home, one of the guests, who had recently obtained a concealed carry permit, brought his loaded gun. [More]

If it was concealed, how did she know?

I remember when Dear Abby gave some pretty good advice on this.

Now listen up, Buster, and listen up good.

We’re the Only Ones Hunting in Packs Enough

Swampscott Resident Surrounded by 9 Coyotes, Rescued by Police… Police suggest bringing homemade noisemakers, a small air horn, squirt guns or pepper spray while walking your dog. They also stressed that it is important not to run away from a coyote. [More]

That’s because thanks to Massachusetts Democrats, you need special police permission to carry something that will actually work, and Bruen notwithstanding, don’t expect that to change overnight.

A Right Deliberately Delayed

Grass Roots North Carolina, the state’s primary gun rights group, announced this morning that it is preparing a second lawsuit against Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden over continued delays in concealed handgun permits. [More]

In-your-face defiance merits an in-your-face response.

Garry’s too busy trying to make like a TV star. You gotta wonder if any homicides could have been deterred.

Predator Empowerment Zones Disputed

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal court challenging the new concealed carry statute in New York State that, among other things, prohibits concealed carry in churches. [More]

The Democrat authors of that legislation evidently didn’t feel six seconds gave murderous attackers enough of an advantage.

UPDATE

And here’s another case:

The Second Amendment Foundation scored a victory in a ruling by a Tennessee Appeals Court panel striking down a gun ban by a public housing authority in the community of Columbia on the grounds it violates the Second Amendment, citing recent Supreme Court language in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Igeocracy

Within a month, hundreds of people in Hawaii could be carrying concealed guns. That’s based on applications so far at each of Hawaii’s four county police departments and each chief’s timeline for approving them. [Watch]

That it isn’t hundreds of thousands is a pretty good indicator on why the place is still an Igeocracy.

And that’s “could be carrying concealed guns [LEGALLY]…”

Too bad vindication won’t include attorney fees…
