SHOT Show Pics.
Tom W. is having fun at SHOT Show and sent me some pics for sheer torture.
The Walmart CWP attacker is still in jail. Might be a sad story after all.
Michael Scott Foster, the guy who attacked Clarence Daniels at a Brandon, F. WalMart because he saw his legally carried concealed weapon is still being held at the Hillsborough County Sheriff even though it was charged with battery (a misdemeanor) and bond set a $500.
He was originally set to be released the same day at 6:23 pm, but something must have happened inside the jail as he is now being held under the Baker Act.
So maybe we face the possibility that Mr. Foster may have a previous mental problem and that is nothing to laugh about or make snarky comments. County records show no other arrests for Foster and no entries in the Florida Corrections Department database.
Let’s just say that we are seeing an unusual and sad case and we can only speculate. And also to hope Mr. Foster recovers and Mr. Daniels be without injury.
Directly from the SHOT Show.
Tom W. is having technical issues sending me stuff, but he managed to forward something that nobody else (that I have seen) can bring you:
Because we are classy as flock.
Florida: Bill to eliminate Stand Your ground introduced.
HB 4019 – Use of Force
General Bill by Williams, A.
Use of Force: Deletes provisions specifying that person has no duty to retreat & has right to stand his or her ground & meet force with force in certain circumstances.
Here is the text. Not worrying much about it, but it is good to know they are out there.
Florida is now an official target for UBC. Shannon Watts lets it slip.
Bill was able to get a screen capture before Shannon came to her senses and deleted the Tweet.
Florida is truly hated by the Antis. We got the Concealed Carry avalanche started and we did not make any friends by re-instituting Stand Your ground and a slew of other Pro-Second Amendment bills. If we could be erased from the map while keeping DisneyWorld, they would have done so already.

And Rick finishes with an observation that makes all the sense in the world:
*This* is why amputation was the “go to” operation. No way to repair that damage without anesthesia, sterile instruments, x-rays, blood transfusion, bioneutral surgical glue, something to replace the missing bone, and antibiotics.
Let’s say he had me at “without anesthesia.”
