Notes from the Resistance
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?

The sheriff’s getting no Facebook love.
So are they going to prosecute her for lying on the arrest report?
The entire department sounds like a bunch of JBTs.
And remember, back the blue!

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit from Florida’s agriculture commissioner that challenged a ban on medical marijuana patients’ rights to buy and possess firearms. [More]
So when are they going to arrest her?
And no, of course, I don’t agree with the ban. I just can’t help but notice she’d be happy to arrest us for “violating” citizen disarmament laws she agrees with.
I wonder if the “conservative” High Court’s Bruen decision with its “historical understanding” benchmark will end up saving her.

Yeah, think how much faster they’ll be able to investigate your murder by some violent animal with a tire iron that “authorities” released on probation…

And on top of that, he’s got an insufferable “Only Ones” mentality.
With the latest DeSantis disconnect it seems like Florida Republicans are going out of their way to alienate gun owners.
And not just Florida Republicans…

UPDATE
Firearms News has the whole story direct from GOA.
Police in South Florida have made a second arrest in connection with a vicious weekend attack on a GOP campaign worker who told authorities he was attacked “because he was a Republican,” according to an arrest report. [More]
Know your neighborhoods and be prepared. That includes bringing backup.

Someone inside the event didn’t like the sign Mr. Rose was holding and had the City of Alachua Police approach Mr. Rose to tell him to leave because it was a private event. [More]
I guess if you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t feel free to ignore the First.
So some tight-@$$ed Vichycon at a DeSantis event, rather than doing the right thing and living up to that fidelity to the Second Amendment he makes such great political hay over, decided instead to channel their inner “progressive” snitch and sic the jackboots on a patriot?
And we’re supposed to just forget about this?

Austin Durrer, who has worked for Crist since 2016, was arrested Tuesday in Cambridge, Maryland, on second-degree assault charges in a case classified as “domestic violence,” according to Dorchester County court records obtained by Fox News Digital. Durrer was released on $10,000 bond after his arrest, and the court ordered him to surrender firearms and vacate his home. [More]
Gee, I feel real bad for him losing his guns like that…

DeSantis creates illegal gun-free zone during Alachua fundraiser [More]
Someone should have gone armed and forced the issue, perhaps by calling the sheriff and issuing an on-the-spot complaint against private security violating Florida law.
Mark Walters and I talked about this, and we both agreed DeSantis had it in his power to make everything right. He had time to do just that and instead opted to hope nobody noticed and/or the ones that didn’t wouldn’t be showstoppers.
That he did not rectify things should be considered a huge strike against him. It’s curious that none of his starry-eyed supporters wanted to reply:
Concealed Carry Illegally Banned at Upcoming DeSantis Event [More]
So go armed. Accept no weasel-worded excuses.
What he does then will be on him and the Republicans.
“I would highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes into your home while you’re there to steal stuff, that you take your gun and you shoot him. You shoot him so that he looks like grated cheese,” Judd added. [More]
It sounds cute, and I’m seeing no shortage of this sentiment (NSFW), but I have to ask: What instructions has he given his deputies if that’s what they find when they show up?
I ask because with DGU trainers advising “Shoot to stop” and ambitious prosecutors ready to bring anything that looks like deliberate overkill in front of a grand jury to make an example, I’m thinking this is about as advisable as Joe Biden telling us to shoot off the balcony and through the door.
Only the “Only Ones” get to “empty the clip,” and that’s mostly so that one or two rounds might hit the intended target.

“We are suspending Soros-backed 13th circuit state attorney Andrew Warren for neglecting his duties as he pledges not to uphold the laws of the state,” DeSantis’ office said in a statement… “The constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the governor, not in state attorneys,” DeSantis said. “We are not going to allow this pathogen of ignoring the law get a foothold in the state of Florida.” [More]
