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?
