Last week, a year after the passage of rushed and poorly drafted gun restrictions in Connecticut, the organization Connecticut Against Gun Violence issued a press release celebrating the anniversary and deriding gun owners for continuing to call for repeal of the law.
“Nonetheless, gun rights activists are holding a rally at the Capitol on April 5 to protest the law. They are demanding that the law, which they call “one of the most unconstitutional gun laws in the nation”1 be enforced or repealed, warning that “State-provoked chaos and violence will be required to enforce the anti-gun laws.”2
A coalition of state Gun Rights Prevention Groups will be holding a press conference on Thursday, April 3, at 10:00 am at the State Capitol, 3rd Floor, Old Judiciary Room. ( See logos below of participating organizations).

An all-female self-defense class in Glendale has been postponed to an unknown date while officials review allegations that holding it is discriminatory to men.
On March 13, the National Coalition for Men, a San Diego-based nonprofit focused on gender equality, drafted a letter to Glendale City Attorney Michael Garcia, Glendale Commission on the Status of Women Chairwoman Denise Miller and SHIELD Women’s Self-Defense System instructor Nelson Nio, stating the organization is “troubled by the no-men-or-boys-allowed self-defense classes.” The letter claims that by not including men, the city is violating federal and state anti-discrimination laws and the city’s own Employee Code of Ethics. Glendale’s women’s self-defense class postponed amid discrimination charge.
For the love of Holy Testosterone, what the hell is wrong with these people? You feeling somewhat emasculated because they did not invite you to play? I have bad news for you sweet cheeks: your emasculation is self-inflicted.
There are plenty places you can go learn to defend yourself with or without girls. You are just a bunch of kids that probably were never picked to play sports at school and got to learn the intimacy the inside of a locked locker. Now that you are an adult, you get your fun by screwing anybody else’s life.
Grow up, deal with it or rename your group The National Coalition for the Testicular Impaired.
From what I can see, it is a percussion gun. It has to be fun reloading that thing without losing fingers. Rumor has it that it belonged to Gail Pepin’s great-great-great-great-grandmother 😀
I wonder why they are not saying anything about the NRA Annual Meeting to be held in the same weekend and why they are so secretive about the details.
A mini-prediction: If they don’t get enough RSVPs, they will cancel it under the excuse that they were “threatened” by “Gun Bullies.” Press conference to follow.
An Orlando security guard landed in jail early Monday for firing warning shots near a crowd of about 15 to 20 people — an incident that occurred just days after Florida lawmakers passed a bill permitting warning shots as part of the state’s “stand your ground” law.
Claudy Petit Frere of Signal 88 Security was working at Nassau Bay Apartments about 4:45 a.m. when, he said, a fight broke out and people in the crowd tried to disarm him.
Fearing for his life, Petit Frere told police, he drew his handgun and “shot it in a safe location” behind him to make the crowd back up. Two of the bullets struck a nearby apartment building, according to his arrest report.
Police charged him with three felony and two misdemeanor crimes, including shooting into an occupied dwelling, false imprisonment with a weapon and aggravated assault with a firearm, records show. “It’s not a law yet,” Orlando police spokesman Sgt. Jim Young said Monday afternoon.
It is not all front sight-press trigger-make holes. You have to be aware and know the laws of the land and stay within its parameters. And the other very important thing you must do is to stay abreast of what is happening at the legislative level but trying to avoid the “information” and “analysis” given by the Media as they will probably be less than accurate in the best of cases and downright liars most of the time.
I am not saying that Mr. Frere was confused by what has been said in the news lately, but I would not be surprised if that would turn out to be the case. Unfortunately, he is going to have a tough time in his near future.
Attorney General Eric Holder said gun tracking bracelets are something the Justice Department (DOJ) wants to “explore” as part of its gun control efforts.
When discussing gun violence prevention programs within the DOJ, Holder told a House appropriations subcommittee on Friday that his agency is looking into technological innovations.
“I think that one of the things that we learned when we were trying to get passed those common sense reforms last year, Vice President Biden and I had a meeting with a group of technology people and we talked about how guns can be made more safe,” he said. Holder: We want to explore gun tracking bracelets
Hmmm.. he wants to tag gun owners with a device that is visible to others. For starters, it kinda screws with the whole concept of Concealed Carry and the advantage we get against attackers. But it also does other things:
It identifies us as a separate group of people. We would be wearing the equivalent of a sign saying “Gun here!” I am sure this would make “Stop & frisk” legally easier since there is no doubt we are carrying a gun. And once stopped and frisked we would have to go through the whole showing of a permits, FOID (where applicable), the cops checking to see if the gun is stolen…you know, being treated like a felon. It would also makes us targets of criminals looking to get a gun…yes, sorry, nobody is aware enough to avoid an ambush and survive it 100% of the time.
And with the Opposition declaring their undying hate for Gun owners and multiple expressions of hate towards us, I can see them following a gun owner to their house of place of business and do the brick through the window and occasional arson because, you know, we are too dangerous! Our kids ridiculed in school and tagged as weirdos… you know the whole story.
But I have to say something for this new technology: It is more advanced than a Yellow Star on your lapel or in an armband and a serial number tattooed in your arm.
So this study (I know , a joke) is making the round in the webs. I was amazed that Florida ranked so low and I checked what factors they are taking in consideration and found out that, not surprisingly they have the data wrong.

1-Active Military Personnel (31): I really do not see what this has to do with anything unless the author thinks the Military will be the entity that will save us all. Unfortunately and as recent events show, when you have a unarmed members of the military in bases, they are just as much targets as anybody from New Jersey on a Saturday Night.
2–Military Veterans (17): Allegedly because they have experience fighting…. then again we are talking about Zombies and not the Wehrmacht here.
3-Physically Active (28): It says “States with residents who rarely get out of their Laz-E-Boy will not escape the zombie menace” What is it with the “you must run to save your life” thing? The only thing you will accomplish is to end up tired and bumping into more zombies. Let them come to you.
4–Martial Arts Enthusiasts (36): Also known asZombie Fodder. Really? you are planning on go Jackie Chan with living corpses unable to feel pain?
5-People with Survival Skills (44): Hey Sparky… Hurricane Zone rings a bell? If you live here, you learn to develop Survival Skills…and the smart ones to boot. We kinda have a long tradition of Survival Skills applied in real life.
6-People with Knowledge of Zombies (37): Wait… Are you frigging kidding me? Not only we are home to the biggest Haitian community in the US but we are a puddle jump from the island and we are 37? Where do you thinks Zombies come from? Saskatchewan?
7-Laser Tag Enthusiasts (20): Dude, the only lasers we care about are mounted in our guns…the one that spit real bullets.
8-People with Guns (42): this one made me laugh hard. According to the ranking, the Gunshine State (I wonder why we got the nickname) is about the same in gun ownership as the most strict gun controlled states. In 2013 alone, Florida had one million NICS checks for purchasing weapons or 5% of all the new firearms purchases in the US.
9-Obesity(12): This is a repeat of 3 and already answered.
10-Paintball Enthusiasts: Laser Tag all over again. SMH.
11-Triathletes: Run, you will only die tired.
OK, why Florida will do OK and better than average if the Zombie Invasion were to come?
1-We ain’t running away. Experience with natural disaster has taught us that the best way to get in real crap is to leave your home and go out where you don’t know what’s going on. Stay home where you have a nice cache of food, water and ammo and ride the zombie wave. And for the doubters, may I remind you that Florida homes are not the cardboard crap with unprotected windows that show in zombie movies. Hurricane Panels and other devices make for great Zombie Defenses.
2-We are the frigging Gunshine State: Do I need say more? We have more small arms here than all the US Military.
Gabby Franco: Top Shot competitor & Florida Resident.
3- One word, Machetes: Are you impressed at the Shaolin Monks developing a martial arts based on agricultural implements? Them monks would run for the Great Wall of China when facing a mob of pissed off Floridians of Caribbean descent with razor sharp machetes. Even Miyamoto Musashi would have gone “Fuck this” and hide in a Geisha House.
4- Another word, Gators: Zombies are attracted by sound, so the only thing we need to do is to get some stereos and/or some DJs in the middle of the everglades, the zombies will take strolls to a beautiful National Park and become one with nature. At least they will get stuck in the swamp and go nowhere.
The don’t call part of I-75 Alligator Alley for kicks.
5-It is frigging hot down here: With hot and humid weather at least 9 months out of the year, Zombies will take little time becoming decomposing masses of biological matter. The stink would be supreme but a couple of good storms and even a hurricane would clean up the mess.
So, if the Zombie Apocalypse hits us, come to Florida for the sun, the fun, the guns and the cold drinks with cute little umbrellas.
And I think this will be the last Zombie post I’ll ever do. The Meme is pretty well dead….unless they make the Monster Hunter International Movie and/or TV Series.
