It is July 1st, 2008 in Florida. In business everywhere, owners and managers are donning bulletproof vests and have 911 in speed dial. Human Resources personnel have files on those “troublesome” employees open and under review. Scores of Employees who had “issues” with other employees are calling in sick. The reason for this wide spread panic? Today the Preservation and Protection of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Motor Vehicles Act 2008 (Misnamed by Anti Gunners and Main Stream Media as the Take Your Gun To Work Law.) comes into effect.

Although the eternal Anti-Gun Miami Herald chose not to make issue of it today, many of the local TV stations started this morning reporting the Law with an almost hysterical tone of voice. Some made mention of it and they were for once somewhat right on the law’s essence but the underlying panic in the voices could be heard: “Will be ever be safe again?”

I still wonder if the MSM is filed with liberal political activist or just plain stupid people that have access to mass communications. I am at the verge of printing a Cliff Notes version of the Preservation and Protection of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Motor Vehicles Act 2008 so many times I had to explain and correct the misinformation presented in the news. I think a healthy combination of both statements is the answer.

It’s been said that Past History is the best guide to predict Future Behavior. And as with Shall Issue Concealed Weapons Permits, Castle Doctrines and every advancement we made my prediction is that this issue will become muted soon enough.

UPDATE

I just finished watching WSVN Channel 7’s coverage of the enactment of the Protection of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Motor Vehicles Act 2008 and I hate to confirm they are both stupid and Liberal slanted. The female “on site” reporter did not get one item right. She started by saying that the new law allowed people to have guns in their vehicles (It was already in the books for a long time) and that the gun needed to be registered (there is no gun registration in Florida.) This crap was fed to millions of South Floridians as the Gospel and there is no way in this earth that it was an accident.

Shameful.

FINAL
I emailed WSVN about their report and today (7/2/2008) I received no answer . I did not see the report in their nigh time shows but I might missed it.

About 5 minutes ago I am perusing one of my favorite gun forums when I bump into the following post:

Guns in DC — no gun stores, but look who has a license
**************************************************

Knoxville, TN KnoxNews blog

So, how does one lawfully get guns into DC? Even after Heller takes
effect, it’s a tough issue due to zoning:

Washington has no federally licensed gun stores, so nowhere in the
city can residents buy a handgun legally.

Not true, really. There is one licensed firearms dealer in the city.
One Josh Sugarmann of the anti-gun shill group the Violence Policy
Center.

They can be reached at:

Violence Policy Center
1730 Rhode Island Avenue, NW
Suite 1014
Washington, DC 20036

phone (202) 822 8200

I did some research and it turns out to be old news. Democratic Underground had a thread going back in February but, of course, the moonbats came up with 1,001 reason why he might need to have an FFL and number one, of course was to defend himself!

Mr. Sugarmann whose most recent article in the Hufftinton Post went on to unload on Judges Alito and Scalia for their suspicions yet obvious stance for guns and gun related sports does not seem to feel that having a Federal Firearms License contradicts his position against the yokel average citizen to have a gun. I mean, he is somebody important, we are not.

The funniest thing is that the address given is the address for the Violence Policy Center in DC so that makes VPC a registered Gun Shop and I think pretty much the only one in DC.
Maybe now we know what they are really doing with all those guns obtained from the Buy-Back Programs.

No doubt we are celebrating. D.C. v. Heller came out asserting that the Second Amendment just as the First and the Ninth is an Individual Right. That it did not go as far as we would wish for? True, but still is a shattering moment in our fight for our rights.

The NRA already is suing the City of Chicago to end its ban on guns. But we must not expect fast and sweeping changes, this is a war of attrition. We can’t just expect to erase 4 decades of Gun Control Laws and misinformation to be erased in a few weeks. This will literally take years specially if Hosanna Obama wins the presidency.

Still, I just got back from spending a wonderful day shooting IDPA. It is a good feeling that you also share and we need to defend.

By this time tomorrow we will either be celebrating the long awaited confirmation of the Second Amendment or thinking seriously if it is time to purge DC in its entirety and expelling the politicians across the border to either Canada or Mexico.

I am in pins and needles, no question about it. My gut tells me that SCOTUS will do the right thing and affirm that The People means the same for the Second Amendment as it means for the rest of the Constitution. But I cannot remove the fear that we might get ambushed by a court that has handed decisions based in foreign laws instead of our Constitution.

If everything goes as we want, I might break my  teetotaler ways and actually have a small celebratory libation. I’ll skip the cigar though.

The Human Society is in full campaign against humans legally carrying a firearm for self defense in a National Park. It seems that if you and me decide to partake God’s beauty while carrying a gun for self-defense, we are helping poachers kill Bambi and his Mom and impeding investigations into poaching. You see, according to the Humane Society “the presence of a loaded weapon is the main clue available for rangers in discovering and identifying poachers.” Yep, if you have a gun, you are a poacher, not ifs or buts.

This is insulting in so many ways I find myself struggling to remain calm. First is the obvious one of throwing a law-abiding armed citizen in the same bag as poachers. You have to be some serious liberal imbecile to even think in such terms, but you gotta give it to Wayne Pacelle President of the Humane Society, he goes the extra mile in dumbness. Second, it insults Park Rangers by basically calling them morons that cannot distinguish between a poacher and a camper and thus must be given big hints to do their jobs properly, maybe even flash cards. Maybe Mr. Pacelle will be able to get safety scissors and cute little Humane Society lunch boxes to the Park Rangers to help them do their jobs.

And third, the total disregard for humans that Mr. Pacelle’s seems to have is gut-wrenching. Violent crimes in National Parks are on the rise. From drug activity to robberies to rape these “pristine” areas are becoming as dangerous as any major city or even worse since response times by either Law Enforcement or Paramedics are counted in the hours due to the remote locations leaving victims to suffer and die alone and without recourse.

National Parks have been Gun Free Zones for the longest but not by law but by regulation of the National Park Service. Lately a petition has been presented to the National Park Service to allow Concealed Weapons Permit holder to carry their weapons inside the parks. We are talking about the U.S. Government certified Good Guys, those who went through the FBI background check, fingerprinting and other requirements to carry a concealed gun. To the Anti-Second Amendment crowd this is just unacceptable. How are we going to allow them rednecks havin’ guns in them parks? Don’t y’all know that it ain’t no place to have a gun? Unfortunately many criminals know of the restriction and do as they please inside the Gun Free Zones called National Parks and hope that with the help of “good hearted and caring people” like Mr.Pacelle they are guaranteed their victims remain unarmed and easy to pray on.
