CSGV & Brady are right: We get checks from the NRA.
Unfortunately we have to pay for them, not the other way around. It is called the NRA Check program.
He should have chosen the High Moral Ground
Instead a man chose life and repelled armed robbers. No school bus full of nuns and handicapped children were hurt in the incident.
The Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence will protest this latest incident in his Facebook and Twitter Page with a Slam Poetry Session.
Although this story is a year old, it reflects dearly the reasons we choose carry and why we resent when some buffoon tries to impose on everybody the idiocy of being unarmed by using unadulterated BS and deceit.
Be still my beating heart. OC In Florida a reality?
Update….
According to the Palm Beach Post, Open Carry and two other laws are on the way to Governor Scott’s desk to be signed.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
Hat Tip to 2ARights4All.com
Watered down version passed in the Senate. Amendment filed by RINO Senator Bogdanoff (Broward & Palm Beach). Gigantic lack of Spine detected in Tallahasse.
UPDATE: Bill headed to the House. Can it be fixed there?
CSGV: Seriously?
Latest CSGV oracle is a report from the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. It starts by saying:
This article summarizes the scientific literature on the health risks and benefits of having a gun in the home for the gun owner and his/her family. For most contemporary Americans, scientific studies indicate that the health risk of a gun in the home is greater than the benefit.
So the first category is Accidental Deaths by guns and it brings us this shocking revelation:
Accidents
According to death certificate data, from 2003 to 2007, more than 680 Americans per year were killed unintentionally with firearms.
I did a quick search on accidental deaths and I find out that in 2007 over 21,000 people died by accidental falls. That is almost forty times the amount of accidental deaths by firearms. Then we have accidental poisoning deaths at 40,000 or almost sixty times more than accidental gun deaths.
Maybe Brady and CSGV should be renamed The Brady Center to Combat Trips and Falls and the Coaltion to Stop Drano and actually do something about people getting killed by these awful accidents. But then we wouldn’t have so much fun at their cost.
UPDATE: Corrected to the proper ratios.
Not making it to the NRA convention this year.
Work, extraneous expenses and other pre-planned trips will get in the way of budget. But in celebration, I will take my lovely bride Saturday to Primanti Bros. on Sunrise wearing full NRA & shooting regalia.
I was wondering if the NRA had selected a location for the 2013 convention. We will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Florida’s Concealed Weapon’s Permit Law coming into effect and getting the ball rolling all over the place. The Ft Lauderdale Convention Center should be big enough and right on the beach with a boatload of hotels within walking distance. Guns & Fun Under the Sun? Win!
Yeah… I know… Orlando would get it. At least it is only 4 hours away.
To all the bloggers going to the meet: Have fun and have a soda (pop) on me.
….and that is why I like Justified.
About to sit down and watch the episode before the season finale of Justified. I define it as old school sheriff western with heavy doses of Redneck Noir Film. Great acting, great script and darn good shooting. This series will be bought in Box Set for the collection.
Best line of the season: “You’re like the hillbilly whisperer. I’m gonna put you on Oprah.”
Another great thing about the series is that when a somebody asks me about why I am in such awe and fear of my wife, now I just tell them to go watch ‘Justified’.
Kitty has serious back up.
Updated to reflect that I watched not the season finale but the one before.
