All Clear?

That is why the week before that we promulgated a new rule to implement the bipartisan safer communities act and to at long last make it crystal clear that if you’re engaged in the business of dealing firearms for profit, there is no Gun Show Loophole and there never was. [Watch @ 11:24]

Did the poles just shift or something…?

Firearms and ammunition are strictly forbidden in Turks and Caicos. The U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas last September issued this warning to travelers: “Firearms, ammunition, and other weapons are not permitted in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). TCI authorities strictly enforce all firearms related laws. The penalty for traveling to TCI with a firearm, ammunition, or other weapon is a minimum custodial sentence of twelve (12) years.” [More]

We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow

Arizona, Take Off Your Rainbow Shades*

An Arizona grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and 16 others in an election interference case related to the 2020 presidential vote [More]

Funny, how when they make accusations they’re suddenly not “baseless.”

Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed a bill aimed at strengthening the rights of homeowners looking to evict squatters from their property, despite the bill being passed in bipartisan fashion and as a wave of squatting cases continue to terrify homeowners across the country. [More]

Serves the selfish racists right.

And yes, of course communists Mayes and Hobbs want all the guns for themselves.

But how did Arizona get this way…?

And what’s that got to do with guns?

* (Earlier this month a WoG Correspondent asked me if some of the old “pop culture” stuff I reference would be lost on younger readers. I figure you can’t please everybody, and there’s not much I can do if someone doesn’t know something and is too incurious to look it up…)

An Age-Old Question

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has handed a significant victory to the Second Amendment Foundation and young adults in the 18-20-year age group, allowing them to apply for concealed carry licenses in the state, while enjoining the state from arresting any law-abiding citizens in that age group for openly carrying firearms during a state of emergency.

If we’re going to go with text, history, and tradition, Pennsylvanian Tench Coxe would have gone down to 16… and no permit needed.

There’s an App for That

Lanore saw a problem and came up with the Gun Leash. Gun Leash is a recently patented device that uses a beacon attached to a firearm and paired to a mobile app. The mobile app runs silently and notifies the gun owner when their weapon is no longer with them. The beacon is a proximity sensor, not a GPS. After you download his Gun Leash app and stick the sensor on your gun, it will send a notification to your phone if you were to walk away and get a certain distance away from your gun. [More]

Here’s his website.

I’ve pretty much established myself over the past few decades as a hater of “smart guns.” This ain’t that.

As long as installing them is not mandated and it doesn’t allow guns to be tracked, I’m not seeing a downside — other than trusting a gadget to do what we should be doing ourselves. Perhaps someone with more technical qualifications than I have will see something I don’t, for instance, could the proximity signal’s signature “alert” anyone nearby who had a receiver?

It looks like not many have discovered them on X. I’m going to copy them when I send out this link, so at least WoG readers will know how to get comments to them. They don’t seem like antis trying to get a nose under the tent, and they seem like they’re sincere about trying to provide a solution to a problem, so I hope those sending opinions their way keep that in mind.

Gun owners on social advocacy media can be kind of… raw, much of the time with good cause, but I’m not seeing anything here that does not deserve respect. Me, I never post anonymously and I never say anything to a man online that I wouldn’t say to his face.
