We’re the Only Ones Dated Enough

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith.

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”

In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

We’re the Only Ones Resigned Enough

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith informed the Board of Supervisors in this one-line letter that she was leaving office effective Monday. [More]

Maybe if she goes quietly no one will ask any questions about “underrepresentation.”

Too bad. The “real reporters” could have had an “EXCLUSIVE” worth putting in all caps.

‘What Difference, at This Point, Does It Make?’

Where Does Brian Dahle Stand On Gun Control [Watch]

It’s not like he dares tell you on his campaign website…

His voting record shows he doesn’t support bans, but I would argue with him on expanding “prohibited persons.”

He’s not bad on the issue that’s not the “single issue,” too.

Bottom line: He’s a damn site better than the domestic enemy currently ruling.

But California is lost “thanks” to what no gun group wants to talk about.

Calif. woman recalls attack, rape by homeless man — released from jail hours earlier [More]

Sorry, Marissa, but I look at all your Facebook “likes”/influencers like Bernie Sanders, SNN, George Takei, the Huffington Post, and Rachel Maddow, and I’m not seeing anyone offering any solutions that could have helped you or will stop this from happening to someone else.

You’re in Good Iron Fists

Gun owners in the nation’s 10th largest city who disobey a requirement to carry liability insurance and pay a yearly fee will have to fork over up to $1,000 in fines as part of San Jose’s unique and controversial push to combat gun violence — a novel legislative approach that has triggered a challenge in federal court and has 2nd Amendment supporters up in arms. [More]

It’s not so novel– as with all “progressive” ideas, we’ve seen comparable tyrannical outrages like poll taxes and gun registration abuses before.

Licky Licardo & Co. just put a new mask on it.

Do they even have who the lucre goes to worked out yet? I want to start a pool on how many years it will take for whoever runs it to be exposed for embezzlement.

Actually, it will probably never get that far because it is so clearly unconstitutional and in violation of Bruen’s “historical understanding.” This is just protracted harassment and delaying tactics by official subversives who can spend all the plunder they want on drawn-out legal challenges and appeals, knowing that to fight it, their opponents will need to dig into limited and stretched-out financial resources.

Focus on the ‘Victim’

“The victim indicated she was working in her office when a man came into her office, grabbed her, dragged her into a basement, and raped her,” Stanford’s Department of Public Safety said in a statement. “The victim does not want to provide a statement to law enforcement about the crime at this time.” [More]

Here’s a surprise!

Stanford University prohibits the possession of any of the following weapons or dangerous items on the Stanford campus: firearm, dirk, dagger, ice pick, knife having a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches (except for lawful use in food preparation or consumption), folding knife with a blade that locks into place, razor with an unguarded blade, taser, stun gun, instrument that expels a metallic projectile (such as a BB or a pellet), spot marker gun (commonly known as a “paintball gun”), compressed air (airsoft) gun, or any other weapons prohibited by California Penal Code Sections 626.10 and 626.9.

Then again, aside from the absurd and wholly prejudicial “Believe Women” weapon that the left employs to try and derail Supreme Court nominees, and with campus hoaxes being all the fashion for decades now,  how do we know this even happened?

Like a Good Nachbar

Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]

Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law…

The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:

Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”

Yalla Don’t Come Back Now, Y’Hear?

Berkeley Develops Jewish-Free Zones [More]

But Hillary says we’re the Nazis…

I wonder if that bagel brain Chemerinsky now wringing his hands over this might have pause to reconsider his position on 2A, but no, he hasn’t connected the dots to realize the cowardly Judenrat and kapos are ever essential components of establishing judenfrei zones.

In Like a Lion

Mountain lion attacks boy, 7, at Southern California park [More]

Hell of a thing to have to charge weaponless against. You wonder what the father would have done had the cat fought back.  When I lived there and went into the wilderness with my sons, I never had nothing.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

We’re the Only Ones Psyched Enough

Dozens of Officers Have Firearms Taken Away After Failing Psych Evaluations [More]

Hey. aren’t these the same guys who are supposed to be disarming us…? Kinda makes you wonder what kind of morons, psychopaths, and mental defectives they hand out badges to…

So what sense does it make to take their duty guns but not any personal firearms they might own?  Actually, what sense does it make to leave someone who can’t be trusted with a gun without a custodian?

The results aren’t trustworthy, they say?  So what does that say about red flag laws?
