We’re the Only Ones Compounding Our F***-Ups with Authoritarian Escalation Enough
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Deputies frisked, interrogated wrong veteran about suicide threat – Deputies question Riverview veteran and wife for 30 minutes before the VA says they gave cops the wrong address… The visit grew tense after the second deputy asked about the location of the permit. He told Williams he should not have stepped out of his home without the permit on him. [More]
What’s with “the deputy”?
We know the innocent homeowner’s name. We know his wife’s name.

Attack of the Right-Wing Christian Nationalists
Police said the shooting stemmed from an altercation between two groups. One person of interest has been detained and another remains at large, police said. A department spokesperson said the suspect at large is believed to be a Black male with dreads, a black short sleeve shirt, and camo shorts. [More]
Funny, who warned us against going to Florida…
Meanwhile, total buttwad Gavin Newsom blames a future move toward fewer preemptive infringements that won’t excuse criminal acts of violence when permitless carry does go into effect.
And Now a Word from the Plantation Party
‘Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals,’ states the advisory issued on Saturday night by the civil rights group. [More]
Well, yeah, they up and elected a “white supremacist.”

Sometimes ignoring an aggressive dog and letting it know you don’t think it’s important enough to notice can make it rethink if it really wants to attack you. Of course, if you’re going to try this, I recommend also being able to kick its @$$ if that doesn’t work.
I just wanted to equate these subversive losers with dogs.
And I guess that means an apology will be expected: to dogs.

Gillum Trial Highlights Ethics of Gun Prohibitionists & the Company They Keep
Curiously, he was not arrested, as anyone of lesser connections would expect to be, but was allowed to return home and later go through the motions of “entering rehab.” [More]
I’d like to say “Imagine what the law would do to us if you or I were found passed out in a hotel with stained sheets, a gay escort, and meth and other controlled substances,” but candidly, I don’t know anyone who would ever find themselves in that situation, including being immune to prosecution thereafter. Curious, though, that this gun-grabbing degenerate’s Democrat political supporters say we’re the ones who can’t be trusted…

Half a Loaf
Florida gun owners may soon be able to carry concealed weapons without a license as the permitless carry bill moves one step closer to the governor’s desk after passing in the House on Friday. [More]
But, as we’ve been discussing of late, it won’t include open carry because “law and order” Republicans feel more beholden to the Florida Sheriff’s Association than they do gun owners.
Do what the antis do. Take the incremental win and then come back for more. Bruen‘s tradition and history are is on the side of open carry and they can’t document any credible increase in crime from lawful open carry so that prohibition will fall.
Unless gun owners are ready to take political revenge on the Vichycons — and that means having someone they’ll get behind and support to run against the squishes — there’s not much they can do but complain, which doesn’t accomplish much and is bad for the digestion…

With all those infringements, why do they call it”Constitutional carry”?
I wonder if it will pass.
