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.

Why does the jackbooted, incompetent, truffle-rooting trough feeder get a pass?

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.”

Since when do we call hate mongers “civil rights groups”? And who decided the rest of us have to go through the absurd motion of saying “people of color”?

By driving them to the Democrats, “middle man” Derrick Johnson is filling a time-“honored” role…

Let Him Eat Cake

Ron DeSantis staff eating cake while Floridians are in crisis. [More]

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.

An Age-Old Question

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday backed an effort to lower the statewide age requirement to purchase a rifle, calling a current law that bars 18-year-olds from buying firearms “unconstitutional.” [More]

That’s because it is.

I wonder how many Democrats howling in indignant rage over this support lowering the voting age to 16…

‘Leftist,’ Huh?

Leftist arrested and charged after assaulting Rep. Gaetz [More]

And it’s a felony charge?

I’ve been so busy today trying to catch up as best I can on email tips that I don’t have time to pursue this one further– I spent a couple minutes looking to find any social media posts indicating she’s anti-gun because I always find it amusing when such become “prohibited persons,” and came up empty.

Feel free to succeed where I failed.

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…

Majority Rules

DeSantis’ signature tips US into majority ‘constitutional carry’ nation with new Florida gun rights law [More]

True, it’s not everything it’s hyped up to be, but it’s an incremental improvement. Time now for a renewed push and holding both the Vichycons and the State Sheriffs Association’s feet to the fire.

UPDATE

DeSantis Says He’ll Call a Special Session to Consider Open Carry [More]

How would you translate “If I can get the votes”?

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…

Really, Marion?

Florida’s former NRA lobbyist, Marion Hammer, used to be a powerful force for gun rights. Sadly, that is no longer the case. [More]

The wackos, hillbillies, idiots, fruitcakes, and nuts have a point. Dissidents, malcontents, and enemies within all, according to her…

Here’s what she thinks of the general members that NRA’s existence depends on.

Kinda makes me want to wear something special at the upcoming annual meeting.

We’re the Only Ones Exclusive Enough

Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]

Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?

That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…

You Keep Using That Word

Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost says Florida’s proposed permitless carry law is ‘fascism’ [More]

Inigo has an observation.

This @$$hole again…

Then again, it is the standard Antifa indictment of anyone who’s not a raging commie.

Our best and our brightest don’t always go into politics, do they?

Stupid, overprivileged little sh!+head…

Looking the Gift Horse in the Mouth

Authorizes person to carry concealed weapon or concealed firearm if he or she is licensed to do so or meets specified requirements; requires person who is carrying concealed weapon or concealed firearm without license to carry identification & display upon demand by law enforcement; prohibits person who is carrying concealed weapon or concealed firearm without license from carrying such weapon or firearm in specified locations; authorizes nonresident to carry concealed weapon or concealed firearm in this state if he or she meets same requirements as resident; provides person authorized to carry concealed weapon or concealed firearm without license is subject to specified penalties for possessing such weapon or firearm at school-sponsored event or on school property. [More]

With all those infringements, why do they call it”Constitutional carry”?

I wonder if it will pass.

We’re the Only Ones Professionally Courteous Enough

During the exchange, O’Connor told the deputy she was Tampa’s police chief, showed identification and said “I’m hoping you will let us go tonight.” The deputy eventually let them leave the scene. [More]

Just like he would have you or me, right?

Letting that toady go without a reprimand is just as offensive.

Hey, with Mary out, who’s gonna emcee the “gun violence forums“?

A Wake-Up Call

Police say Danisment did not deny the attack, instead claiming that he “saw red” and blacked out. [More]

And he looks like such an otherwise rational individual…

Amazing how self-interest suddenly allows the mind to focus…

Not to be judgmental (!), and the good armed citizen had no way of knowing, but you gotta wonder if a woman who would mate with that is worth sticking your neck out for. It’s not like ol’ Cap Stabben hasn’t told the world what he thinks of them…

Who’s Responsible?

‘Publix denies any liability’ for grandmother, toddler’s murders in Florida grocery store [More]

Ordinarily, I’d agree unless deliberate indifference to known dangers could be demonstrated. We are generally responsible for our own defense. Still, statements against customers being armed don’t help discourage predators, although, in Florida, open carry outside of specifically defined limited circumstances still isn’t an option.

As for companies that disallow any kind of carry, I’d like to see more gun owners hand the manager this card and spread the word about his refusal to sign it:

We’re the Only Ones Tasteful Enough

A Homeland Security agent and his friend were accidentally shot at a wine tasting in Florida when his gun fell to the ground, according to police. [More]

I need to up my training. Not being a professional, my wife and I have been going to a wine-tasting fundraiser for a group we support for many years now, and I haven’t even come close to shooting myself, let alone her along with me.

One question though: Is that what I think it is?

Anybody know if off-duty “Only Ones” are exempt?
