Unconstitutional Carry

Despite these facts, the Lucas County Sherriff’s Office and the Sylvania Prosecutor’s Office have refused to drop the charges and are deliberately ignoring Ohio law. Worse, and perhaps most egregiously, according to court filings, the Sylvania Prosecutor’s Office has taken the extraordinary position that anyone — even those holding a valid concealed handgun license — may be arrested and charged simply for having a loaded firearm in their car. [More]

We touched on this here, and my concerns still apply.

It’s up to the majority Republicans to fix this, and I note years later I’m still slapping my forehead over how over a decade after being put on notice DeWine refuses to ensure the “Only Ones” know the damn law.

Forget Lucas County Sherriff’s Office and Sylvania Prosecutor’s Office. It’s Michael Navarre and Heather Pentycofe. The bucks stop there.

We’re the Only Ones Retentive Enough

“We are hearing rumblings already that some allegedly pro-gun Republicans are already cooking up ideas to roll back the impact of the ruling,” he said. “We’re hearing things like what kind of retention-level holster the sheriffs will demand people use. If anything like that comes out, the Florida Sheriffs Association is behind it and we will fight it.” [More]

They probably want to make them easier for their DEI hires to remove.

Hey, backi the khaki, right?

Good question:

Can We All Get Along?

Steven Bonnell, also known as Destiny, calls for conservatives to be killed more often so they will be afraid to attend events or speak out. [More]

And then he pulls a David Hogg.

What do you need a “weapon of war” for?

Garands for Gangbangers

During a debate on the House floor on Tuesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) spoke against an amendment which would authorize the military to give “additional” surplus weapons to the Civilian Marksmanship Program, which Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) defended. [Watch]

That’s me with mine in 1995.

Here are the current rules.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Maxwell Frost was just an opportunistic liar interested in establishing a monopoly of violence.

Heiß Umfehdet, Wild Umstritten

The possession of Category B firearms such as pistols will in the future only be permitted from the age of 25 instead of 21, while Category C firearms, such as rifles, will only be allowed from the age of 21. A psychological evaluation will be mandatory when applying for the first time and again after five years. In addition, checks will be carried out every five years. For Category C weapons, a firearms ownership card will now also be required, just as it already is for Category B weapons. This is outlined in the draft law proposed by the governing parties. [More]

Makes perfect sense if those running the government are traitors…

Never Say Never

1 In 9 Americans Still Believe Political Violence Is Sometimes Justified [More]

Really? What the hell kind of sanctimonious virtue signaling is this? Zero Hedge thinks a violence monopoly is preferable?

Maybe if we could beef those numbers up it would discourage more of it happening. As I wrote 25 years ago in my GUNS and AMMO piece “You Say You Want a Revolution”:

But that’s ok. As long as such uncertainty exists, the Second Amendment is doing its job. As long as government fears an armed populace, and based on all the idiot laws they’re trying to pass, they sure must, a powerful check on tyranny remains in place. After all, it is an evident truth that the strength of our nation can be measured by its freedom, and the Second Amendment is the key bellwether for this freedom. We can see in its erosion the breakdown of trust between government and the governed, and the attendant instability and conflict that is inevitable when this happens.

The seemingly paradoxical truth is, if you want to create a stable, peaceful and free society, where a Chechnya-style conflict becomes the unlikeliest of possibilities, you must guarantee that the whole people can arm themselves to the teeth. For only by making the cost of infringing our rights too high can we make those who would abridge them afraid to act. Just as, at the individual level, a criminal avoids a potential victim who may be armed, so too does this work on a societal scale.

The Actual Charlie Kirk 2nd Amendment Quote Lefties Lie About [More]

Of course it’s been taken out of context so that collectivist sadists can gloat.

The truth won’t change their diseased minds, but sharing it with those who may honestly just not know any better could help limit the damage and wake some people up.

No Question About It

The effort calls into question whether or not Massachusetts’ firearm regulations for out-of-state visitors are unconstitutional. [More]

Let’s see what the Supreme Court already had to say about that:

It would give to persons of the negro race, …the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, …to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased …the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.

And everybody noticed they didn’t say a word about “permits.”

Funny, how even back then “give” was a thing…

I understand some are none too pleased with me for this.

Why anyone would let personal animosities block necessary actions is something only they can answer, but nonetheless fair for speculation as to why. Especially when they know the threat and have the manpower resources but are allocating them elsewhere.

Speaking of Brewing Civil Wars…

Renner believes he may have the “unifying” message conservative voters are looking for. [More]

If that message includes stabbing gun owners in the back and then acting like they have no one else to vote for, look for a lot of them to sit on their hands and prepare for the real civil war a Democrat victory ambitious Quislings like this are making inevitable.

Toxic Tribalism

A distinguished Harvard Law professor and legal scholar was hammered on social media after spreading a debunked rumor that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was “ultra-MAGA” and that Republicans were trying to “blame” liberals for the tragedy. [More]

And we know how much his legal acumen can be trusted when it comes to the Second Amendment and illegal aliens.

You’d think a distinguished legal academic with his wealth would be able to afford to have his teeth cleaned.

End of an Era/Beginning of a New One

In this special 300th episode, GUNS Magazine Editor and host Brent Wheat and guest Roy Huntington make a historic announcement: the print editions of GUNS Magazine and American Handgunner Magazine are ending after 70 years. [More]

The times they are a-changin’.

I did 15 years at GUNS and the last 3 issues of American Handgunner.

Depth Charges

“Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,” a former Biden White House official said. “She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.” [More]

So they knew she was out of her depth in a ceremonial do-nothing position but nonetheless supported her getting the top job, no doubt because they knew she would be another stage prop puppet.

What does that say about them and their reverence for the Constitutional system, aside from they just want power over us and they’ll do and say anything to get more of it?

You’d have to be a psychopath, a dolt, or both to vote for that.
