Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
But I want you to go to 11:06 when the police arrives and watch the armed car owner’s behavior and actions when cops arrive.
Putting the weapon on the ground, raising your hands and not moving do help make the officers feel a bit less strained about you.
This was in Texas and I am not going to discuss the smarts about confronting a burglar at night.
I have gone through almost a hundred videos and I think we were making assumptions not quite based on reality. As with anything else related to guns, it is not going to be a gear issue but more about mindset and training. I think the video represents the average of what I have seen and tabulated so far.
And I bet you are gonna get slightly ticked off.
Update: The hits keep coming.
These two tweets caught my attention:
As far as I know, ATF is the agency in charge on Firearms Tracing, specially in states that do not have firearms registration. California’s registration is at best incomplete to non-existent depending on what law came to be what year and I am sure ATF is not going to open their database unless they feel they need to have a congressional probe up their asses. So I can’t figure out what database they are using unless the state gave them the incomplete crap they have.
This would not be another case of the Brady Campaign making promises somebody else ends up paying for, would it?
Florida official facing calls to resign for saying Muslim Rep. Tlaib might ‘blow up’ U.S. Capitol
The Hallandale Beach city commissioner said that the Muslim lawmaker, a newly elected Democrat from Michigan, is a “danger.”
A city commissioner from Florida is facing calls to resign for writing online that newly elected Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who is Muslim, was “a danger” and might “blow up Capitol Hill.”
Keep in mind, this is the same Congresswoman I just wrote about who did a dinner and pictures with a supporter who is a fanboy of Hamas and Hezbollah, and has called for the mass murder of Jews.
She is also the one that cracked a joke about Jewish genocide with a Post-It in her official Congressional office.
So yeah, maybe “danger” is an accurate word.
The commissioner, Anabelle Lima-Taub, of Hallandale Beach, signed an online petition last week calling for Tlaib’s removal, according to a photo of her Facebook post published by The Sun Sentinel.
“Proudly signed,” she wrote. “A Hamas loving anti-Semite has NO place in government! She is a danger and would not put it past her to become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”
She clearly supports terrorists…
Her colleagues aren’t so proud, though.
Another Hallandale Beach commissioner, Michele Lazarow, said Wednesday that she would sponsor a resolution condemning Lima-Taub’s remarks.
“While individual commissioners have spoken out against Commissioner Lima-Taub’s hateful and bigoted remarks, I believe we need to take action as a city,” Lazarow wrote in a statement sent to reporters. “We must send a message to our community that this behavior won’t be tolerated.”
Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana, who sits on the city commission as well, said Lima-Taub’s comments were “evidently racist and the sort of divisive rhetoric we see from President Trump which unfortunately trickles down,” in an email to NBC News, suggesting the commissioner apologize and engage with Muslim communities.
Jewish Democrats can’t question motivations of other clearly anti-Semitic, terrorism supporting Democrats. Jews are further down on the grievance hierarchy, they have no right to object to a Democrat calling for them to be driven into the sea.
“As a Commissioner she was elected to and claims to represent the residents of Hallandale Beach. That means all residents including our Muslim brothers and sisters,” she wrote. “If she can not fulfill her promise to serve all with utmost respect then she should resign.”
You mean the Muslim brothers and sisters who have been harassing the elderly Jews of Fort Lauderdale.
My family owns a Deli in Hallendale. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
Lima-Taub’s online biography says she was born in Israel and was elected to the Hallandale Beach Commission in November 2016, vowing to restore ethics to local government and promote public safety. Her Facebook post has since been removed, and she did not respond to requests for comment.
No wonder she’s pissed. She has ever right to criticize a Congresswoman who proudly hangs out with Hamas supporters.
Hallendale is the largest Jewish community in Florida. If a representative can’t call out another Democrat for being about as awful for American Jews as she could be… well, that’s why Fort Lauderdale is the Democrat run hellhole that it is and will never change.
Update: Stolen firearm from unlocked vehicle. This is what I mean.
I had mentioned about it last year. I want to make guns stolen out of vehicles our safety priority this year.
First, I need to define the problem and thanks to the magic of YouTube and inexpensive surveillance systems, I have material to look through and I am doing so. If anybody can find police stats on car break ins, it would be of great help, I don’t care if it is one little town or a major city because I have the feeling they are pretty much the same thing.
What I have seen so far (small sample yet) has made me change my initial idea of this being just a question of gear alone and more of combination of gear and lack of brains. but I don’t want to jump to a firm conclusion yet.
Any other ideas are welcome. I will be asking the opinion of metal workers and automotive people because there will be a need to either find the proper devices or maybe you will get a chance to create the new strong box for guns in vehicles. We will need to offer a not-so-expensive device that could help frustrate a criminal into stealing your gun.
I’ll come back with this when I have more stats.
PS: Dear God! I may have to use Excel! The Horror!
Current Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, has proposed a gun bill that would propose to confiscate a substantial number of the guns in the state.
Really.
Delegate Kathy Tran and Senator Adam Ebbin will patron legislation to ban the sale, purchase, possession, and transport of assault firearms in the Commonwealth. The bill also modifies the definition of assault firearm to any firearm that is equipped with a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
“I am honored to work with Governor Northam to advance commonsense gun safety measures. Assault weapons are intended for the battlefields of war and do not belong in our neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship,” said Delegate Kathy Tran. “It is time for us to pass an assault weapons ban and make Virginia safer for our families and communities.”
“Assault-style weapons have been the common denominator in too many mass shootings. Americans have learned no one is safe from the horrors these guns inflict, even when they are praying in a house of worship, learning in a classroom, or dancing at a concert,” said Senator Adam Ebbin. “Limiting the sale of firearms designed to inflict mass carnage is both a public health necessity and a moral imperative. I am proud to carry Governor Northam’s bill to block access to them in Virginia.”
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, any gun that holds more than 10 rounds, including your tube fed 22LR, is banned from possession.
There are a whole bunch of other gun laws being pushed this legislative cycle, including the “one gun a month” law, that was imposed on Virginia by New York City.
So it was an amazing to see this headline about the Virginia Legislature.
Sen. Chase wears handgun to podium to present bills in committee
Yep, she did.
The first-term senator — a fan of government transparency and opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment — said she wore the gun following an incident Monday in which Capitol Police were called after immigration-rights supporters confronted Sen. Dick Black, R-Loudoun.
Chase said she always carries her gun in concealed fashion but decided Tuesday was a good day to carry openly when she presented her bills in the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee. Her legislation included an alternative to the Equal Rights Amendment resolution that reaffirms equal protection under the law.
“Sometimes it’s a deterrent for over-exuberant folks. Unfortunately in the General Assembly we see the good, we see the bad, we see all types of things,” she said. “It’s just for personal safety, quite honestly.”
While carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia requires a permit, carrying openly does not.
Black said Monday on the Senate floor that after he presented a bill against “sanctuary cities” he was “swarmed by a group of people taking pictures and being rather confrontational.”
This is a State Senator that takes no shit from no protester.
After the level of harassment and veiled threats of violence from insane Lefties during the Kavanaugh hearings and in the border wall debate, it’s good to see a politician standing up for herself.
God I hope State Senator Chase decides to run for Governor of Virginia. The Old Dominion state could use someone pro-gun in the governors office for a little while.
I was watching the video of the new Springfield Armory SAINT Victor. It had the appropriate somber music and tactical operators doing the obligatory conga line for a house clearing when they show one of the targets.
I started laughing at the bug eyes of the guy and the whole “I was an extra in ‘The Waterboy’ movie” look. However, I do hope that is not my answer if I were faced with a similar armed funny looking guy or gal in real life or I would be laughing all the way to St Pete’s Gates. I don’t know if that was done on purpose, but I do have to say that by the very subdued use of a non-shooter behind the bad guy is a touch of evil but necessary training: even if you do not miss, there are places on Buggy Eyes anatomy where a shoot through may end up taking out an innocent person.
So, whomever created the target, well done. Lessons have been assimilated.
