A Bit Late on That Alert

I signed up for emails to help keep track of how my work is spreading.

Being told of articles from 10 years ago is hardly helpful. Then again, it’s all in the algorithm.

Anyway, “mystery” eventually solved:

Ranger John Woychowski… said he left the gun, a .40-caliber Sig Sauer P239 that served as his secondary duty weapon, in a holster inside a backpack stashed under the front seat of his SUV parked on The Embarcadero near Pier 5 while the family went to dinner. The backpack also contained his badge and law enforcement credentials.

In fairness, he did talk to a meter maid…

A Wolf In Wolf’s Clothing

Senate Bill 1015 “Requires the Department of Justice to develop and implement a grant program to award moneys to eligible entities to reduce community violence in communities experiencing disproportionately high rates of community violence.” [More]

What could be more fair than non-violent and productive people picking up the tab — or else..?

Bastille Day 2.0

Multiple French prisons have been attacked in recent nights, including with automatic weapons, in what the justice minister said on Tuesday was a response to a government clamp-down on a drug trade turbocharged by a surge in cocaine trafficking. Military-grade weapons were fired at entrance to Toulon prison, in southern France… [More]

The original inspiration was by violent lowlife scum, too.

With inmates like Mohamed Amra, I wonder how many of the attackers this time were named “Jaques,” or “Pierre”…

Hey, so much for French “gun control“!

Task Force’s Exclusion of Gun Owner Advocates Means Continuing DOJ Disappointments

Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. [More]

Leaving the people most affected out of the discussion means they’ll end up being told instead of asked. Or as one comment poster notes, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”

Do Any of These People Not Look Like Total Losers?

DOJ Charges Man in Arson Attacks on New Mexico GOP Office, Tesla Showroom – Jamison Wagner, 40, supposedly belongs to the group “500 Queer Scientists.” [More]

They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but there’s an exception to every rule.

Lord knows the reason he’s so miserable couldn’t be him.

Going to the Dogs

Our 1 billion pet dogs do real environmental damage [More]

This environmentalcase talks about deer, foxes, and bobcats avoiding them like it’s a bad thing. I’ll let you know the next time one escapes in my neighborhood and kills a penguin.

I’m gonna need a bigger ashtray.

You want to see where the problem dogs overwhelmingly are in this country, follow the homicide data.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringed’ Is

HB 1163 – 2025-26 Enhancing requirements relating to the purchase, transfer, and possession of firearms… Third reading, passed; yeas, 29; nays, 19; absent, 0; excused, 1. [More]

It’ll be signed. Then it’s on gun owners paying to have their rights infringed to come up with more money to fight it in courts for years.

Unless...

And By Trump, Musk, and ICE, He Means You

A Butler, Pennsylvania man was charged with making threats of murder and assault against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, among others. [More]

Butler? Is there something in the water there..?

I’d say tell Donie, but that pudgy Irish f_k knows exactly what he’s doing.

Say, shouldn’t all those gushing “gunfluencers” be celebrating our diversity?

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Trespassing Enough

St. Louis man arrested after impersonating officer, trespassing woman’s apartment [More]

As always, be aware that this is a pervasive phenomenon. You never know when you might need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense, so it won’t hurt to have plenty of examples of real threats to point to.

And That Takes Care of That

KC homeowner shoots male suspected of breaking into 30 cars Wednesday…The shooter was released after questioning. It’s unclear at this point if he could face any charges. [More]

I’d say if they call him back in it ought to be for a public ceremony where they give him a medal, but the cynic in me wonders if — based on who was shot — all defenders and reactions of neighbors would be treated the same.

They’re Not the ‘Only Ones’

Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]

My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

We’re the Only Ones Once Bitten Enough

“I told him he could take my gun and let me secure my dog,” said Phillips. “He didn’t listen. I had my hands up. I called them for help, and they came in hot, like I was the threat.” [More]

When you realize that when police show up they consider themselves the “Only Ones,” she was. So, of course he was cleared, bullet wond in her leg notwithstanding.

Officer safety, you see.
