Listening to an episode of the ProArms Podcast, I learned what did the term Cruiser Ready meant and why. Cruiser Ready is a pump shotgun that is fully loaded with the safety on and no round in chamber. Police carries it this way in the patrol cars as the design of most (if not all) pump shotguns have it that the safety blocks the trigger but not the firing pin. That means that a round in the chamber and the police car rolling over something hard enough to move the firing pin, could create an accidental discharge and the vehicle suddenly acquire a partial sunroof.

This is what might have happened in this case. Drop the shotgun on its butt with enough force and it may have gong bang and take a life.

This Finish The Job thing got launched on November 11, 2013 during the Brady National Summit if I am not mistaken. You know you are irrelevant when two weeks later you have barely managed 15,000 signatures and still have not reached the low-ball limit of 17,000 which makes it as much a failure as Obamacare. At least they have the excuse that their website does not work.

This is the new “In” thing for Thanksgivings according to the Gun “Safety” Zealots:

How desperate do you have to be to actually propose to sabotage Thanksgiving Dinner with politics? What is next? Badgering people in public restrooms?

We are winning.

Update:

And now is Mayors Against Illegal Guns (A.K.A. Mayors Waiting to be Arrested and Prosecuted)

Does that mean we should bring the rest of the Bill of Rights to the same restrictions imposed on the Second Amendment? Sadly for this bunch, the answer would be a very loud YES.

I suggest you consider adding one gun to a holster, and then adding that holster to your hip. At a certain point we — the pool of potential victims — must refuse to fulfill that destiny.

Good read… A complicit society and media refuses to acknowledge the problem so they won’t be called awful names and people are getting killed because of it. I guess it is easier to accept an innocent stranger’s death that being a stand-up individual.

Gordon Jenkins the mayor of Monticello, NY was arrested for DUI. This is a long video, but the good verbal stuff happens from the get go.

I do believe the best wardrobe accessory for politicians is a pair of handcuffs.

Sad story out of North Carolina: 4-year-old dies when he picks an unattended gun from a top of a fridge and kills himself and the Dad gets criminally charged. The Moms pick it up and the followers run with their usual compassion:

Even though there are laws about this, prosecutors are not fond to apply them if they see that it was not a total disregard or presence of Mens Rea. Of course, that does not matter to the Stepford Moms Demand Action:

• Emily C Reubush YEAH! With all the idiocy coming out of NC lately, I’m proud they’ve done something right.
• Keri Cameron Hooks Idiot who was in the military should know better. That poor mother. My heart breaks for her. I hope she takes those babies away from him!
• Gay Fantz ANY adult who leaves a gun within reach of a child must be held responsible for endangerment! Report them to authorities BEFORE harm comes to another child!!!
• Gloria M Banta It’s about freaking time! The 2nd Amendment is an awesome responsibility, and should never be taken lightly.
• Shawna Jackson Wilde He murdered his son.
• Leslie Burrell Wow, in NC even. First thing they’ve done right in awhile
• Stephanie Beckman I’m not happy about any of this, but the man needs to experience the consequences of his actions.
• Connie F. Mueller Bellucci If I was this baby’s mom, I would rip this guy’s nuts off, and shove them down his throat!!
• Carol J Barker Spriggs I will probably catch hell for this, but I don’t feel sorry for this man at all. If you’re going to have a loaded gun in the house with a small child around, guess you don’t have a brain in your head. I do feel sorry for the family but even the mother bears some resposibility here!
• Martina Nicholson it starts with teaching people to be violent. This man was a soldier. We need to start teaching people how to be PEACE-makers, PEACE-ful. When soldiers come back from war, they need to be re-instated into PEACE-time society. The only tool some of them have is a gun, and the only thing they have been taught is to shoot it. And so many come back with terrible anger, terrible suffering. The way we teach them is so terrible. As a society, we failed this father and his son.

And bet your ass that this coming Sunday, some or most of them will go to church and actually believe they are good Christians with lots of love for their fellow-man.
