We are used to read about guns stolen from Law Enforcement vehicles.  Unfortunately it seems some members of the LEO community think their vehicles are immune to the failings of the common man when the opposite is true. But in this particular case, one of the stolen items made me do a double take and then engage in some serious head-desking:

The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward to help retrieve an assault-style weapon, a handgun and other equipment that was stolen July 10 from an agency vehicle that was parked along the H Street corridor in Northeast Washington.

Authorities said that the vehicle — a Ford Expedition — was locked and that someone smashed a rear window and took a secured gun lock box. The agent reported the missing items to police about 7:50 a.m.; the FBI said they think the break-in occurred between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m.

The missing items include a Rock River Arms LAR-15 rifle, similar to an AR-15; a Glock-22 handgun; a holster; a collapsible baton; pepper spray; two boxes of .40 caliber ammunition; protective head and eye gear; and a black TruckVault gun box.

This is one type of Trackvault, probably the simplest of them that can hold a rifle. Notice that it is not a flimsy container…and then think about it.

I think it is a fair assumption to make that the guns and the rest of the stuff where inside the Truckvault and that the fucking thing was not bolted to the gorramed SUV! What is the frigging point of having a secure box then? 

And it is not like the installation is such a problem. The boxes are designed with the hardware to fit and secure to any particular model and in the case of the Ford Expedition, it uses already installed factory bolts that are easy to access according to the installation instructions.

That is your taxpayer dollars at work.

NRA and Trump blamed for not allowing Universal Background Checks for all gun buys, hating gays and something to do with the No-Fly list.

A 13 year old girl shot two people who worked at a beauty supply store.  The girl and her friend were kicked out for shoplifting.  When they came back, the cops were called on them.  The friend was arrested on an outstanding juvenile warrant.  The girl was allowed to go home by the police.  She returned to the store and shot the parents of the owner.

Bullets don’t discriminate.  Bullets don’t care about age or race or gender.  A bullet fired by a 13 year old girl is going to kill you the same as a bullet fired by a 25 year old man.

So what would you do?  Would you defend yourself from a 13 year old girl with a gun?  Could you shoot a 13 year old girl to save your life?

Let this be a reminder, don’t make assumptions when it comes to your safety.  The person who might try and kill you might the last person that you expect.

If you’re pissed off because Ted Cruz didn’t endorse the man who attacked his wife’s looks and history of depression, insinuated his father was a murderer, andcalled him a liar, a globalist, and essentially a crackpot, then YOU are the problem – not the people who, like Cruz, are voting their conscience and continue to value freedom and the Constitution.

This has been pretty much the same set of excuses I’ve been hearing/reading all day about Cruz’s stunt at the RNC. I voted for him at the primaries because I thought he was the better candidate and not aligned with the GOP Elite. But what he did last night was disappointing, actually not what he did but what he said: “Vote your conscience” which is the official Anti Trump meme meaning “Don’t vote for Donald.”

If Cruz had come out on stage and said plainly “I can’t support Donald,” he would have kept my respect. I know he had promised during the debates he would do so, but a person has a right to change his mind. But using the “Vote your conscience” crap, told me he is not really an outsider maverick as he portrayed nor had the balls to stand in front of the conventioneers and say “Don’t vote for Oompa Loompa! he sucks!”

Ted ended up being another RINO wearing conservative cammo. And according to the capture above, he has a very thin skin in need of a Safe Space and got triggered and acted the way he did after the Donald called him names. Yep, that is a very mature and conservative attitude.

And as for “voting their conscience and continue to value freedom and the Constitution.” Is anybody in doubt that if Hillary wins, you can pretty much say goodbye to the Constitution? Does anybody doubt she will go full frontal against the Second Amendment? Is your conscience agreeable with that?

Get a grip, because you’ve lost something far more important than a primary or an election or even a nation.

Apparently some people still do not understand that what made this nation is the Constitution. They seem rather comfortable in losing it as long as they can be bratty about Donald Trump.

You cannot plea being a vestal Virgin when the barbarians are at the gate thinking that you won’t gate raped once the porticullis collapses.
You are gonna get penetrated just the same.

Lefty Protesters are butthurt

“If you are in downtown Cleveland you can literally throw a rock and hit a police [officer]. It’s very intimidating,” he says. “It certainly is chilling for First Amendment rights. ”Though the rage Trump inspires among his opponents is unlikely to dim, it’s unclear if progressive activists will see an uptick in participation in demonstrations as it becomes clear mass arrests and gun-involved violence are not happening.
Bresler isn’t optimistic.“Yesterday was going to be a bigger day than Thursday and I don’t know what’s going to happen on Thursday now in terms of size,” he says.

That first sentence alone tells you that there was a good amount of people wanting to go to the RNC to make trouble and not to exercise their right to free assembly. Only those who want to create mayhem fear police activity nearby. But still there are that group of idiots that seek to confront police while breaking  and setting stuff on fire and even attacking those who di not agree with them. So why the resistance to attend?

The organizer, one of the city’s most prominent, says “people contacted me saying, ‘boy I would like to attend but I’ve been hearing about all this violence and people bringing guns… and the huge number of police.’ People just did not feeling comfortable coming.”

And the answer is: There might be a good chance they would not get away with their brand of violence and they know it. And no, I am not buying the Open Carriers were stifling Free Speech as diverse groups like Code Pink, BLM and the KKK had their say… and in some cases apparently traded urine samples among each other.

The funny part is that “journalists” were following Open Carriers of both sides of the spectrum like puppies chasing after bacon. They were expecting to see the Narrative that says there would be blood on the streets and orphans mowed down by evil gun owners come to bear. And nothing happened.

However other “peaceful” groups did make the news by being arrested.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Police took about a dozen people into custody Wednesday evening as scuffles broke out during a flag-burning protest in the streets outside the Republican National Convention.It was the most turbulent protest since the four-day convention began on Monday. The chaos briefly prevented delegates and members of the media from getting into the Quicken Loans Arena for the night’s proceedings.Lt. Michael Butler said 10 to 16 people were taken into custody and would be charged.Two officers were assaulted and suffered minor injuries, police said. One officer was seen bleeding from his elbow. Carl Dix, a representative of Revolutionary Communist Party, said the group organized the burning of the American flag as a “political statement about the crimes of the American empire. There’s nothing great about America.”

And another group did manage to light a flag on fire and other protesters as well.

Moments after the flag was set on fire, officers charged in to put it out with an extinguishing spray that some in the crowd thought was pepper spray because of similarities in the design of the canisters and the eye irritation caused by the fire-suppression substance…

…“You’re on fire! You’re on fire, stupid!” a Cleveland officer shouted at a protester while firing the extinguishing spray.

“Burn that rag! Burn that rag!” supporters of the group yelled.

Police also said two officers were assaulted and suffered minor injuries.

And you know what I find funny as hell? Not that once again the ones that protested peacefully and did not get in trouble were the Gun Owners who Open Carried, but that nobody in the Media even gave a thought about those in the same area that might have carried concealed. You can bet there were more of those than the other variety. And they did not misbehave either.

You gotta love the Left and their self-induced bias.
