I almost feel guilty about faxing the store.

Caller: “I’ve been hearing reports about your store, the particular location, enacting a gun prohibition policy?”

Store: “Yeah, that was a misquote on Facebook. We never had a sign up… They put it in there, and we are trying to get it taken down… But we don’t have that sign on the store… They put a bunch of information on Facebook that wasn’t accurate.“

And Bob Owens went one further:

To cut through the chaff, I called Staples corporate offices to ask them about how they handle store weapons policies. Specifically, I wanted to know whether individual store managers had the authority to make these sorts of policy changes on a store-by-store basis, or if the chain directs stores to comply with state laws.

 

I also asked them about this specific incident.

 

According to Staples, their corporate policy is to follow applicable laws in the states in which they operate, which is a standard followed by the majority of retailers of every kind. Individual Staples stores and their managers do not have, and have never had, the authority to set more restrictive policies on their own.

 

In the specific instance of the Arlington, VA Staples store in question, the manager did not post signs prohibiting legal carry of firearms, and did not even verbally agree to post signs  prohibiting the legal carry of firearms to the best of corporate’s knowledge.

Put in the plainest possible terms, store managers do not have the authority to change corporate policy on a whim, and Moms Demand Action is not only being deceptive in their claims, they are also wasting their time as they descend up stores in groups and attempt to bully unfortunate store managers into compliance with their prohibitionist views

Gun Control Activists: If their cause is so righteous, why do they need to lie?

“Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year,” the Tribune said.

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

I have the belief that the great and real melting pot is only achieved by food. It is primal and you either like or don’t but does not rise to major stupidity levels till now.

As Hispanic with direct heritage from Spain, I actually almost feel insulted by the Gutierrez Moron. I am guessing she has no knowledge of the Bocadillo which is what Spaniards call the sandwich and it usually involves lots of chorizo and/or serrano ham (like prosciutto) . In Venezuela, the equivalent of the steak Sandwich is called Pepito and has many other names if you keep going south. Roasted pork, ham, swiss cheese, mustard and pickles between .two halves of Cuban bread is the good old Cuban Sandwich. Sliced roast beef (loin or rump roast), mozzarella cheese, sliced tomato and pickles topped with salt and dried oregano inside a hollowed-out French bread roll id what Brazilians call Bauru. Peru’s Pan con Chicharron is fried pork with slices of fried sweet potato and salsa criolla, a type of onion relish on crusty French roll.

Verenice Gutierrez should be sent back to school or at least sit her down and Google Latin American Sandwiches before she is even allowed to interact with children again. And remove her membership to Taco Bell’s Customer of the Month Club.

A twitter exchange I caught some minutes ago:

“How does the NRA dare to use the name of Kennedy?” That seems to be the theme of Josh’s article in the HuffingPo. As example, he provides us with a picture of an ad for Kennedy Silver Dollars that appeared in the December issue of American Rifleman (the ad also appeared in other NRA magazines.)

Now, fellow @greenmeanie1 does raise the objection that nowhere in the posted picture of the ad, the words “commemorating fifty years” as Josh posted in his article appear and he is right.

But he is also wrong because, you see, that is not the whole ad. It has been cropped to leave “commemorating fifty years” out. Why was cropping necessary? Picture size issues perhaps?

Here is the FULL AD and shows that indeed the words “commemorating fifty years” were used….

But let’s have a close up, shall we?

You don’t think that the cropping of the ad had to do with…. nah! Anti Gunners engaging in lies, dishonesty and deception? Nevah!

From Theodore Roosevelt’s autobiography:

“It was late in the evening when I reached the place. I heard one or two shots in the bar-room as I came up, and I disliked going in. But there was nowhere else to go, and it was a cold night. Inside the room were several men, who, including the bartender, were wearing the kind of smile worn by men who are making believe to like what they don’t like. A shabby individual in a broad hat with a cocked gun in each hand was walking up and down the floor talking with strident profanity. He had evidently been shooting at the clock, which had two or three holes in its face.

…As soon as he saw me he hailed me as ‘Four Eyes,’ in reference to my spectacles, and said, ‘Four Eyes is going to treat.’ I joined in the laugh and got behind the stove and sat down, thinking to escape notice. He followed me, however, and though I tried to pass it off as a jest this merely made him more offensive, and he stood leaning over me, a gun in each hand, using very foul language… In response to his reiterated command that I should set up the drinks, I said, ‘Well, if I’ve got to, I’ve got to,’ and rose, looking past him.

As I rose, I struck quick and hard with my right just to one side of the point of his jaw, hitting with my left as I straightened out, and then again with my right. He fired the guns, but I do not know whether this was merely a convulsive action of his hands, or whether he was trying to shoot at me. When he went down he struck the corner of the bar with his head… if he had moved I was about to drop on my knees; but he was senseless. I took away his guns, and the other people in the room, who were now loud in their denunciation of him, hustled him out and put him in the shed.”

Teddy’s trademark expression was “Bully!” which he used to punctuate just about any good news or idea that came across him.

He was a sickish kid but upon encouragement from his father, took up sports to cure his asthma, learned to box  and participated in boxing matches at Harvard in which he could not see past his hands (but was a feared boxer nonetheless.)
Bullies will always exist, that is a fact of life that we will either learn or suffer the ignorance. And you can try all the New Age/Flower Child methods or go for the sure cure: Confront & Defeat.

The rest is just Unicorn Farts…

Well, the Ohio House of Representatives have passed HB-203 by an overwhelming 62-27 vote. The bill next proceeds to the Ohio Senate.

HB-203 has been previously mentioned here at lawofselfdefense.com as Ohio’s proposed “stand-your-ground” bill, and that’s certainly true.

The bill is also, however, full of all kinds of other pro-gun goodness, including improved reciprocity, and the issuance of concealed handgun licenses (CHLs) to non-residents.

via Law of Self Defense – Ohio House Passes HB-203: “Stand Your Ground” and More Goodness.

Well done Ohio…. and if I am not mistaken, the vote is veto-proof. No idea what th Governor will do.

The creator is credited as Ryan Jake Lambourn, Twitter handle @googumproduce, who claims to live in Australia. Lambourn has tweeted that the game is “about importance [sic] of gun control.”

A Gun Control Activist from Australia has managed to give the Gun Control movement a black eye by designing and uploading a truly disgusting game replicating the Sandy Hook massacre. As how the hell is he gonna “remove the game from the Internet” is beyond me and it will probably happen the same day we will have our first Unicorn race at Churchill Downs during Derby Day.

See? I have no problem when people do stupid stuff like that as long as it benefit us.

MDA was all cheerful and feeling triumphant last week as they convince a Staples Manager to post a Gun Free Zone sign in the store:

But when Gun Owners decided to also go activist…well… it is Bullying (AKA Extortion Light)

We are gonna see more of this name-calling as we approach the anniversary of the Sandy Hook Massacre. Don’t be stupid, play it cool, make fun of their shrillness, point the obvious contradictions and keep at it.

They are like the Desperate Stepford Wives on double machiattos, non-soy, cappuccinos with a side of meth. The thought of counter-activism drives them up the moss-covered walls of their high-priced HOAs.

PS: Now that MDA was kind enough to leave the phone numbers of the store and HQ, give them a call.
