Going with What Works

Both the White House and ATF have turned down multiple House Oversight inquiries into charges of ‘collusion’ with Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock [More]

Gee, when have we seen a Democrat administration stonewall House Oversight on gun-related scandals before…?

Shock and Awe

The U.S. Navy relieved an officer who was once photographed firing a weapon with an attached scope facing the wrong direction from the command of a missile destroyer ship on Friday. [More]

A Larson cartoon comes to mind.

If you think about it, this is a life sentence for the guy’s career. With the effect this has had on emboldening foreign enemies and thus endangering personnel, perhaps that’s fitting.

Open to Carrying

Posted in Comments on an unrelated story:

This is not exactly on topic but I would like to relay my experience with open carry in Texas. When open carry was legislated in Texas the expected hue and cry was blood running in the streets. This never materialized. My decision to carry openly was accompanied by a conscious understanding that I would be at some point accosted by someone who opposed guns. I decided that I would not respond to anyone who intended to get me into a confrontation with words and simply walk away. My first encounter was with a man in a hardware store who shocked me by praising me for carrying. I have since had several people including a police officer who have expressed support for carrying including one woman who stopped me in her car while exiting a restaurant and stated that she felt safer knowing that someone around her was armed. I am sure that at some point I will encounter the hate but I will walk away. I still open carry frequently and never leave home unarmed. Thanks for your insight.

My correspondent is fortunate. Not all have been so embraced, including by “Only Ones” feeling the need to exercise forceful dominance.

40 Million Problems Demand Final Solution

Flesh out how you intend to solve the problem, Jeff. Especially since we’re armed.

This is another Lincoln Project “Republican” for Biden who evidently believes he’ll not be held to account for fires he’s helping to light.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
