Help me out here. I trained years ago as IDPA Safety Officer and then as NRA Certified Safety Officer and then NRA Instructor who did the Home Firearm Safety Course module. Maybe I missed that part of the training in all those instances, but I do not seem to recall the part where you get to grab a gun by the muzzle! Holy fucking instructional chicanery, Batman!

But wait, there is more. Did you notice the Powerpoint presentation with the Gun Safety Rules?

If you pay a bit of attention to the small print, you will discover something funny.

Are they using info retrieved from the National Sports Shooting Foundation, an organization they vilified so much for selling “evil assault rifles” that only the NRA is higher in the list of venomous propaganda?

I should be mad (and I am a bit) but it also is great proof that Moms Demand, as much as they call themselves a “Gun Safety Organization” have not created anything substantial other than buying legislators to push Gun Control and if they are pushed into providing actual teaching classes on Gun Safety, they must rely on “the enemy.”

And still, they screw it up.

Saw it at Andrew Branca’s.

Siding with a Broward County sheriff’s deputy who fatally shot a man, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously ruled that law-enforcement officers can use the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law to be shielded from prosecution…

…In an 11-page opinion, Justice Alan Lawson wrote that two parts of the controversial “stand your ground” law make clear that a “person” is justified in using deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if that person believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.

“Because these statutes plainly and unambiguously afford Stand Your Ground immunity to any ‘person’ who acts in self-defense, there should be no reason for further analysis,” Lawson wrote, going on to cite an earlier court case and a dictionary definition. “Put simply, a law enforcement officer is a ‘person’ whether on duty or off, and irrespective of whether the officer is making an arrest. Although neither of the two statutes defines the word ‘person,’ it must be given its ‘plain and ordinary meaning.’ In common understanding, ‘person’ refers to a ‘human being,’ which is not occupation-specific and plainly includes human beings serving as law enforcement officers.”

Florida police officers can use ‘stand your ground’ defense to avoid prosecution, court rules

I did not know about the case. In every court instances and appeals the State, lost including the Florida Supreme Court.

What was supposed to be a simple Immunity From Prosecution case, managed to get the Stand Your Ground part included in the Supreme Court decision. and for once I believe it favors us greatly.

First: it gives the law gravitas from a legal standpoint. This reduces the false idea that this was a bad law written by the NRA but a law that it may not be bad after all since every court decided in favor of the defendant. Add it as a third leg on the argument: 1) There are at least three SCOTUS decision in favor of SYG. 2) For being such a bad law, nobody has dared to take it and challenge it in Federal Court and now 3) The Florida Supreme Court looks kindly upon it.

Second: I can say that if there were any cops in the State of Florida reluctant to accept Stand Your ground and Immunity From Prosecution, I can almost guarantee you there will be a lot less after the word of this SCOFL decision spread over the state. That means we get firm allies on our side as nobody is dumb to reject what may keep him/her out of jail and out of the Poor House.

OK, at least that is what I think will be the “consequences” of this decision. Feel free to give us your thoughts in the comments.

As usual read the original documents. Here is a copy of Florida v. Peraza December 13, 2018.

So, they can only have the 15+ mags on duty and while coming and going to an authorized place of duty.

I will say I agree, but I am dumbfounded about the political myopia that comes from not giving the exception to cops outside the job. Are they not expecting cops to be ticked off about possibly going to jail if they stave off an attack at home and they happen to use a gun with a 17 round mag?

I do believe New Jersey Gun Owners will benefit from the Separation of Liberal State and Law Enforcement.  Cops will be less inclined on giving them crap for having one of the Evil Assault Magazine Clips.

When an enemy is making a mistake, do not correct him as Bonaparte said once.

The Snowball Express is a event put on by The Gary Sinise Foundation to fly thousands of children who lost a parent in combat (Gold Star children) to Disney World for the Holidays.

As reported on by The Washington Examiner:

Hundreds of Gold Star families sent to Disney World by Gary Sinise Foundation

More than 650 families are being sent to Disney World this year as part of Snowball Express, a program aimed at helping Gold Star families enjoy the holiday season.

The program, which started in 2006 but was launched just last year as part of the Gary Sinise Foundation, has 1,722 participants this year, according to an Instagram post.

“The holidays can be especially challenging for grieving families. Each December, we host a five-day experience for 1,750+ children of the fallen and their surviving parent or guardian,” the Gary Sinise Foundation said on its website. “As a therapeutic retreat with a blend of fun and inspiring programs, these families can lean on their peers for support.”

Over 1000 Gold Star Children travel w/ surviving parent, 1,750 in all, via @americanair to Disney World today as part of our @GarySiniseFound Snowball Express program. This charter left LAX this morning. I’ll join up in a few days. Have fun kids! We love you! pic.twitter.com/OfMEpVF1er

This led to a moment of beauty at the Nashville Airport a few days ago.

Touching moment Nashville’s busy airport comes to a standstill as travelers stop to sing The Star Spangled Banner and soldiers salute the children of fallen service members who were on their way to Disneyworld

(Warning: get some tissues before you play the video)

Gary Sinise has been an incredible supporter of our troops for years, inspired by research he did preparing for his role as Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump.  One of his projects it to help build handicap accessible smart homes for disabled veterans.

If you haven’t heard anything about any of this from your typical Hollywood mouthpieces, it is because they are too busy settling sexual harassment claims, applauding rapists and child molesters, campaigning to take your gun rights away, and engaging in awful anti-Trump exhibitions.

Hey, @betsydevosED! This is for you.

Here'a a little holiday story for everyone about your #onesIXtygift!

Everyone! Please watch, and then go here for instructions on how to return this supremely shIXtty gift: https://t.co/ZIZ1Ne2lLu pic.twitter.com/bsIILPUnD6

So, if The Big One hit Hollywood and swallowed it down into the earth or a tsunami washed it out to sea and drowned it in the Pacific, I really think I’d be fine with it.

Chances are Gary Sinise would survive because he’d be out helping our troops at the time.

This works better than tear gas.

KFC is kicking off the holiday season with a log that it says smells like fried chicken.

On Thursday, the chicken chain announced that it would debut the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog. When lit, the log will smell like the chain’s fried chicken, it said.

Shoppers can buy a log for $US18.99 at KFCFirelogs.com starting Thursday.

KFC is now selling a log that smells like fried chicken

I don’t think I have expressed how much chicken disgusts me. Now you know how to get rid of me if I stay too long at your place .

“He just will not leave and I wanna go to bed. I have a full day tomorrow!”
“I’ll just toss one of those KFC logs in the fireplace.”
“Then you’ll start craving biscuits.”
“It is a small price to pay for peace.”

Let me see if I get this straight:

Without the evil capitalists, I could be a substance farmer living in abject poverty, but I could have all the gay sex I want?

How can I say no to that?

But what if I really like boobs and having enough to eat?

Just answer me this: Will your gulags have forced sodomy in addition to the forced labor?  I just want to know what I am in for from your army of lovers that can’t lose.

I really need to buy more ammo.
