Police Handwringing Over Ohio Permitless Gun Carry A Big Nothing Burger

That’s a version of the old and unfounded-in-reality “blood in the streets/Dodge City over fender benders” argument the gun prohibitionists used when railing against licensed concealed carry. And note his concern was not for “public safety” but for officer safety. [More]

Back the Blue when they don’t back you…?

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.

Act Now for Permitless Carry in NC

With the General Assembly’s May 4 “crossover deadline” looming, we need a hearing for House Bill 189 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) ASAP. If the bill doesn’t clear at least the NC House, it will be dead for the two year session, effectively meaning it can’t be re-introduced until 2025. You helped us pass SB 41. Now help us pass constitutional carry, eliminating the need for a governmental “permission slip” to exercise your Second Amendment rights. With recent passage in Florida, NC is now among a minority of states which have failed to pass constitutional carry. [More]

If you’re a North Carolina gun owner worth a damn you will sign the petition and contact the Republican leadership and Judiciary Committee members. GRNC couldn’t make it easier. If you’re a North Carolina gun owner NOT worth a damn, I doubt if you’re over here reading this.

I do have a nit to pick with my friends at GRNC: I reject the notion that “some gun rights advocates have objected to the lack of a training requirement.” If they do, that makes them gun CONTROL advocates. And you know how I feel about trainers who put the thin green line over principles.

Nebraska Legislature passes permitless concealed carry bill [More]

Good for them.

This is what caught my attention:

Lincoln Police released a statement after the vote: “The chief is disappointed in the legislature’s decision because the most important factor in making these decisions should be public safety and the men and women who serve our community.”

Where I come from, 55% is a failing grade.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

Recently, Fred Edgecomb, who has been affiliated with both the NRA and its state affiliate, the NC Rifle & Pistol Assoc., was heard claiming credit for passing Senate Bill 41 to repeal NC purchase permits and expand concealed carry into churches sponsoring schools. GRNC members should understand that neither NRA nor NCRPA had any apparent role in passing SB 41. NRA lobbyist DJ Spiker only showed up at the last minute, and we are unaware of any significant action by NCRPA. In truth, it was GRNC volunteers who sent alerts, packed committee meetings, walked legislative hallways, and deluged legislators with input. [More]

Some might call that SOP…

The latest GRNC alert requesting support to pass permitless carry is out. All I have is their email and my WoG Placeholder blog didn’t display html right. If I see a working link from GRNC anytime soon I will update this post so those interested can go to where they can see and click on action items.

UPDATE

See comment.

The Last Best Hope

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says the Florida legislature are pushing a bill He noted that on the day of the Parkland mass shooting, if someone on campus with a firearm who was well trained, ‘there wouldn’t have been a massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.’ [Watch]

I’d love to see that self-important idiot David Hogg try to debate him.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

These morons will do instead:

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.

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…

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

I wonder if it will pass.

If It Ain’t Broke, Fix It

Not Good! Anti-2A Group Targeting Constitutional Carry [Watch]

The state that imposed Bernie Sanders on the rest of the Republic? The grabbers will no doubt tout disarming the sheep as a great victory for “gun sense.”

I’m sure the folks responsible for this will fall right into line.
