Tag: Permitless Carry

Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing 

H.R. 5767: To prohibit any State that suspends open or concealed firearm carry licenses from receiving Federal financial assistance. [More]

Here’s all you need to know:

Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

This kind of pandering to the base to score political points actually does harm, as it distracts attention from more achievable priorities we should be paying attention to/sharing.

Making It Personal

…Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed an executive order banning all firearms on city property … This executive action was taken following a move by the city council to strike the previous city ordinances on firearms. This was done to comply with the new statewide preemption law that takes effect on Saturday, along with constitutional carry. [More]

And naturally, “The only exceptions to this order are for law enforcement, contracted security personnel, recreational shotgun use at the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet facility, and those granted exemption by the Chief of Police.”

This is why claiming to be a Republican can never be enough.

I guess if hubby couldn’t be trusted with a gun, you can’t, either. Or is it bad form to point that out, even if it looks like she moved on soon enough?

You want to cry foul, cry foul.

I owe no sympathy to someone who demands I obey their terms of surrender or else and put my life and the lives of those I love at risk.

And you’ll note NRA didn’t dare tell you about this.

Real Culprit Identified!

White gunman who shot three Black victims legally acquired weapons after Ron DeSantis recently allowed permitless carry [More]

Yeah, I remember how thrilled we all were when Ohio passed a similar law saying “Constitutional carry” meant we could also murder groups we hate after being involuntarily committed and released!

Partial Faith and Credit

People shouldn’t lose their National constitutional rights whenever they venture into other states. If you have a … a First Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state. If you have a Second Amendment right in one state you should have it in the other state because these are these are rights that are enshrined in our national Bill of Rights… and there wasn’t a whole lot of discussion about it but there is brief mention of the Full Faith and Credit Clause. I always thought that that would be a very very good argument going forward for … every state. If you got a license or permit issued by your state, I mean, what is holding these other states back from recognizing these licenses…? [Watch]

What are these “licenses” and “permits” so many ostensibly on “our side” are so ready to legitimize as a good thing?

We’re past that stage. What were once viewed by some as incremental building blocks have turned into undeniable stumbling blocks.

The very term “reciprocity” is unconstitutional, offensive and absurd in the context of rights.

Carry On

10 Pro-Gun Americans on Why They Carry in Public [More]

MSN evidently thinks slide show click revenues warrant sidelining its typical anti-gun editorial sentiments now and then. Knowing what those are, I’m just surprised one of the given reasons wasn’t “to compensate for inadequate manhood.”

And pick a side, Ryan Thomas. This playing both sides of the street and then predicting blood in them for the DSM to spread around is unbecoming of someone who says he “believes” in RKBA.

It didn’t happen in Ohio, so stop trying to appeal to people who hate you.

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.

27 and Counting

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.
