“Seriously,  you guys packing the AR-15’s everywhere… You are ruining Open Carry for Everyone. 
Once again, the Open Carry Extremists…. the guys that insist Open Carry means they can walk around with AR-15’s and not cause problems – are causing problems. You guys are turn open carry into a 2nd Amendment Gay Rights Parade. Something no one cares about – but you throw it everyone’s faces and dare people to say something. I don’t care if you are gay… But Chaps and a Thong is not dignified attire to be out in public in. Same with an AR-15 Rifle. This isn’t Israel. This isn’t Baghdad. And you are not a PMC Contractor… What you are is an insensitive jerk throwing your rights in people’s faces at the expense over everyone elses. That’s not the Libertarian Way. You are ruining Open Carry for everyone else you thoughtless twits!”

‘Nuff said.

Till a couple of days ago, I had heard the term BBQ Gun but did not know what it meant. I was promptly schooled by Tam via LawDog.

Now, a BBQ gun is a whole different animal. A BBQ gun is what you wear to barbeques, baby christenings, formal balls, and any other place where a fancy jacket or outfit would be worn.

Get your paws on a revolver. Smith & Wesson or Colt would be best, although I understand that Brazilian products are becoming accepted. Polished stainless at a minimum, and full-blown nickle is a better. And pony up for full engraving. Have the trigger, hammer, screws and ejection rod anodized blue, gold, or colour-case-hardened for the traditionalists.

And I found the perfect BBQ gun, at least for me. Now I need the budget and the darned Powerball ain’t smiling at me.

Ladd Everitt has a sweet time with Andy Raymond, the Maryland gun dealer that wanted to sell the Armatix iP1 and got chastised for it.

It was at that point that Andy reached out to me via email and asked us to delete his video from CSGV’s YouTube account (we refused to, but he got YouTube to yank it shortly thereafter).  A back and forth exchange ensued regarding insurrectionism and gun policy.  At some point, Andy stopped and asked me if I’d like to come to his store to “chit chat.”  We’d “just talk” and “keep it civil,” he said.  I told him that would be great, and asked him if we might also go shooting.  He told me no problem and we set a date.
Shooting with the Enemy, Part 2

And then this:

The real reason the NRA opposes the technology, of course, is that they don’t want any precedent established that the gun industry can be regulated for consumer health and safety

Or maybe because the patent of the transceiver (wristwatch) says it can be activated/de-activated from a remote location by a higher “hierarchy.”

Is there something in the water that I have not been told about? Where is this crop of idiots popping from?

This is a situation that demands transparency. For those without weapons, it is important for them to know who is packing heat. This could be achieved by requiring everyone carrying a concealed weapon to wear a red cap or a shirt embossed with skull and crossbones, at least until everyone is equipped.

via Let’s help everyone stand some ground.

Hmmm.. I was thinking about other warning labels like a six-pointed Yellow Star armband or a Scarlet Letter. Maybe people with Concealed Carry permits should have their permit numbers tattooed in their forearms?  And there is the centuries old tradition of branding certain people deemed “dangerous” or “Immoral” with a hot iron in their foreheads or cheeks.

You gotta love when their true feelings float for all to see.

Moms Demand just threw this out in the Facebook:

Here is a bigger version of the picture:

Dear So-called defenders of the Second Amendment: Can we at least try to dress like we weren’t just expelled out of the local homeless shelter or bought our all our clothing for under $10?

“But Miguel, it is my right so foyck you that’s why!” Guess what retard, it is my right too and you are not helping us by looking like the parody of Gun Owner the Opposition loves to spread around.  This happened in Texas and guess what will happen the next time the Open carry bill comes up in the legislature? Guess whose picture and behavior the Opposition will present to the public to garner support for their side?  Yes, those two idiots above will be the representation of our side.

And another thing, Shemaghs? Cool if you are fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, but they look stupid in Downtown Forth Worth (Or any other locale for that matter.) Full Chest rig with all kinds of MOLLE pouches and crap? Ditto.  In fact, nothing with MOLLE or in colors like Tan, Desert, Tropical or any kind of Cammo, not even sponsored by Duck Commander.

If your intention is to spread the a message, you can start by dressing with a tried and true US tradition: A T-Shirt.  But not any T-shirt but one representing an association and everybody wearing the same one. It calls attention, it says we are a group representing something and we want you to see our message. Here is an example:

These are the folks of Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA). Check for photos of their marches and gatherings in Google. That calls not only attention but positive attention, but they are truly dedicated Gun Rights advocates who most of the time had to go lobby on a work day paying their on way and the managed to beat the Cook County Political machine and get Concealed Carry in Illinois.

For the love of the god of your choosing.  If have troubles understanding the concept of the Battle of Perception, stay the hell home, chomp down on some Cheetos, order some Burger King (They now deliver) and watch some New Zealand Underground Anime.

We’ll do the work.

Update: Now this is how you Open Carry a rifle. With class.

So the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence is having his weekly fit about this:
Pretty much everything in 18 USC § 922 regarding penalties for firearm violations is up to 10 years and/or up to $250,000 per violation.  Baby boy up there bought 6 guns and resold for profit them without a license. The article in the Chicago Tribune tells us that this was not Mr. Lewisbey only infraction but that he had a long running operation selling to prohibited persons and add to that he went over state lines to do his mischief which is also a Federal no-no if I am not mistaken. The guns he bought and resold alone could bring him up to 60 years and tack extra 20 for the other 2 “small” incidents and we have a nice sentence of 80 years. And even if you want to call the 6 guns as one incident and ignore his long and proven story of gunrunning, you are looking at 30 years …if the Federal prosecutor wanted to nail his hide.

But instead, he gets a deal for 16 years and 8 months so the lawyers can probably go golf practice or some other crap like that. And of course we get CSGV (in full display of ignorance) crying “Moar Tougher Laws!”

And, of course, we can expect Mr. Lewisbey to be back in the streets sometime in the next 5-10 year or so if he behaves in the Fed pen.

Lord, give me patience.
