Late Friday evening, Gov. Mark Gordon’s office announced that he had vetoed a bill that would have repealed Wyoming’s gun-free zones…The veto doesn’t mean Gordon doesn’t support the idea of repealing gun-free zones, however. [More]

Life in Sensitive Places
A 36-year-old man was shot with his own gun on a New York City subway Thursday as terrified riders took cover, screamed that there were babies onboard and begged for someone to open the train doors so they could get to safety. [More]
And everyone who was terrorized, pleading, and helpless will vote to stay that way.

Another ‘Staunch Supporter’
After passing both chambers of the Wyoming Legislature by huge margins, a bill to eliminate the state’s gun-free zones sat on Gov. Mark Gordon’s desk Friday. But whether Gordon will sign it, veto it, or simply let it pass into law without his signature could be anybody’s guess, some state legislators told Cowboy State Daily. [More]
You’d think if this were true he’d be leading the charge:
It’s a shame we have to prod our “leaders.”

“We take a snapshot in time that’ll go out to our 24/7 365 Manned Operations center that’s primarily staffed with former law enforcement and military veterans to make a very quick decision.” [More]
What, the same “experts” who call AR-15s “a weapon of war, the same gun that was issued to me as a member of [the] ATF SWAT team”…?
So I don’t get it– is the “real gun” call made by AI or by “Only Ones” sitting at computer screens? Metaphorically, it sounds like AI is just the Democrat rep that pulls the fire alarm. And how can they tell if an Airsoft gun is a real one or not if ATF can’t? (Internet Archive link may load very slowly)
And without an armed deterrent already on campus capable of repelling an intruder when seconds count, what difference does it make?
I may turn this one into a full-blown article.

Gun-Free School Zones & Shootings Statistic (2024 Updated) [More]
I don’t know if there’s enough to establish a direct correlation/causation link, but it sure is curious how shootings go up with more political and media demands for and enactment of gun laws…
I’d like to see a study showing a timeline for that. Perhaps this could be a useful application for these AI programs we’re told can sort through stuff and reach conclusions it would otherwise take people years to do…
An Idea Whose Time Has Come
A bill introduced in the Georgia House this week could expand the presence of guns on private property. The bill would make property owners legally liable if a gun owner gets hurt on property where they aren’t allowed to carry a gun. [More]
That could make my cards obsolete:
So… does it have any chance of passing or is this pre-election posturing?

“At this point in our investigation, this incident does not appear to be a murder-suicide and both deaths are being investigated as homicides,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement on social media Friday evening. [More]

In any case, someone’s gonna get it for a weapons policy violation.

The Bad Hands People
There are no places evil can’t go. Limited, though, are your choices to stand up against evil and stop it. Ideas are being discussed everywhere about how to protect our schools. The insurance companies have threatened to drop school coverage on schools that protect children and staff by exercising the right to self-defense with a firearm. [More]
Which insurance companies? Name names.
Are they the only ones, or the only ones the schools are doing business with? What about state rules saying if you want to do business here you can’t discriminate?
