I just saw this over 90 Miles:

Are we still doing this stuff in school?  I remember back in the prehistorical ages when I was a kid in elementary school and we go typed. It was a nice thing watching the little kit come up with the answer and we were issued a card by the Red Cross rep. For the rest of the school year, we were supposed to carry our card, tell on demand our blood type and show the card to confirm. The result was that we had the type ingrained to the point it has been an automatic  response ever since.

The optional thing was learning who you can donate to and who could donate to you. Mine being O Positive was simple: I can give to everybody except the Negatives and I can get only from O Pos and O Neg.

One of the things I thought when I got to my majority was to get a tattoo with my blood type in my arm, only to find out that the fuckers of the Wafffen-SS had done it and that kinda soured the idea. That and the fact that I do not like being stung by a needle several hundred times a minute put the whole idea in the waste basket.

One of the most underrated romantic songs from my youth.

Fifth Circuit Rejects Constitutional Challenges to “Campus Carry”
Texas, like some other states, allows law-abiding adults who have concealed carry licenses to carry at public universities as well as elsewhere; this was challenged on First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Equal Protection Clause grounds.

As with anything Eugene Volokh writes, it is amazingly explanatory and it is a joy to see that the Fifth Circuit handed a legal spanking to the three Liberal Arts Professors from the University of Texas who brought the case to court.  Believe it or not, the following was one of the arguments presented to the court:

Glass contends that to the extent the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right to carry firearms, persons not carrying arms have a right to the practice being well-regulated.

Yeah, that dumb.

And as usual, you can read the original court decision here.

RUTHERFORDTON, N.C. —
A North Carolina sheriff’s office says a teenager shot and killed a man who was strangling her mother.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said on its Facebook page that 46-year-old Steven Kelley was assaulting Chandra Nierman Aug. 8 at a home in Forest City where they lived with her three children.

“During the assault, the deceased male was yelling that he was going to cut Nierman’s throat and kill everyone in the house,” a release stated.
The sheriff’s office said the woman’s 12-year-old son got a gun and handed it to his 15-year-old sister, who shot Kelley in the chest.

Sheriff: 15-year-old daughter shoots, kills her mother’s abusive boyfriend

This is the type of case that will be ignored by most of the Big Media because it goes against the Holy Gun Control Writ: Children got an unsecured gun in a home with domestic violence history and  used to stop the violent partner and save lives.

According to the article, the “deceased male” was a violent felon and with two orders of protection against him from two different women.

The children won’t be charged.

It was a good outcome out of a bad situation.

Something about doing Stupid things with Stupid people comes to mind.

One article of faith that is crumbling is that women cannot be hit. And the collapse of that long-held belief is because, and I am sorry to say this, a lot of women are abusing the privilege and have become bullies. We know the defensive issue of Disparity of Force and understand we must take our lumps from drunken & stupid females or risk jail time.

But here we have a prime example of Poor Victim Selection. No disparity of force and about an equal use of force…more or less.

It was just beautiful.
