I don’t suppose you have control over the neighborhood where that could happen, do you?
Good thing Waymo says in no uncertain terms, “Do not bring weapons into the car.” Wouldn’t want any passersby taking advantage of unarmed customer!

Hardly the addition I was hoping for…

It’s Christmas week and I’ve got a lot of family stuff to do. Please hold off on news tips.
I’ll still be doing some posting, mostly today and Friday, and I’ll probably get to some, but I don’t want anyone to feel like their contributions are ignored and unappreciated– it’s just that I can’t promise I’ll be able to do anything with them.

Of the 11 most populous U.S. cities (over 1 million people), Chicago consistently has the highest homicide rate. [More]

This is a long-overdue correction to a policy of harassment that had no legal basis. [More]
Not so much a step forward as a halt on the slippage backward, but considering this is Oregon, that’s good news.
I like this guy’s style and outlook. He’s got a good handle on just about everything.
I’d feel better if his platform actually mentioned what I consider to be the most important indicator for freedom– yeah, I see the photo when you scroll to the bottom of him with a Fudd gun, but some of us need more than that.
Like more of this.
I included an overview of Vivek’s 2A position here. It’s unproven how serious he would be about matching the rhetoric with actions.
I wonder if Casey Putchz would be willing to answer some questions.

Former Marine Arrested in Alleged Terror Plot [More]
What isn’t Newsweek telling us about him?
Huh. That would seem to be significant. I wonder why they didn’t think it worth mentioning.

I wonder if any FFLs would put a sign saying “We don’t sell to Democrats. If you are one, get the hell out of this store”?

Arming teachers does nothing to protect our children from gun violence. Data shows these reactive initiatives are ineffective, make students and staff feel less safe, and only bring new risks into schools. Despite this, a staggering 15 states have laws on the books that explicitly authorize arming teachers. [More]
And which schools where teachers are armed have experienced mass shootings or any of the dire consequences being warned against?
This is just like when concealed carry was starting to become a thing, and we heard hysterical bleating against Dodge City/Wild West/Blood in the streets over fender benders that never materialized.

In TX this week, a man out for a brisk walk on a local hiking trail was precipitously attacked and killed by three pit bulls… Minutes later, these same three dogs attacked a woman in her own driveway as she was entering her car, along with her two-year-old child. [More]
Texas, of course, has permitless carry, not that you’d expect the “real reporters” to remind the viewers.
Time was, a boy could have discouraged wild dogs from approaching — and not just in the U.S. but in places you’d never have guessed.
The inescapable conclusion: Moms Demand Action would rather this mother and her toddler had been terrifyingly and agonizingly mauled to death than armed.
