The mainstream media brings us yet another example of how anti-self-defense folks rely on bigotry, feelings and emotions over diversity, science and substance with the story of a University of Colorado staff member proudly displaying a �no guns� sign on his office door at a public university.
His bigotry (defined as �stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one�s own� by Collins) should be called out by freedom-loving Americans as offensive, as he�s demanding others forgo their civil rights based upon nothing more than his personal fears about card-carrying, good guy gun owners.
Sixty plus years ago, bigots like Bonetti posted signs that said, �No Negroes�. |

For many ardent proponents of strict gun control, the notion is strong that firearms � and especially handguns � should only be allowed for police and the military, perhaps with some strictly-regulated allowance for hunters and target shooters.
After all, they might suggest, because cops carry guns they are experts about all things related to firearms. The problem with the premise that only cops should have guns is that police are hired from the human race. They make mistakes, they have accidents and sometimes they are crime victims. |

During Hurricane Sandy, we learned a lot about what our fellow citizens are made of. We learned of their character and in some cases, their character defects.
There were many brave people serving those who were trapped and in need of help, there were also those who were preying on those who were trapped and needed help. The social media site Twitter was being used by some gang members and other scum that were making plans to go on a looting spree after the hurricane.
These people were making plans to loot homes and businesses directly after the storm. Most people cannot imagine planning to loot, steel or harm their fellow citizens immediately following a disaster but obviously we have some that look forward this kind of sick activity. |

As you have probably already heard, Open Carry went into effect today in the State of Oklahoma. I don�t intend to do a whole lot of OC, but I have been preparing for this. I�ve sold several OC specific rigs to other Okies in the last year.
I made a matched pair of ostrich, horse, and stingray paddle holsters for my Performance Center revolvers, and have a black belt with red stitching to match them. Jennifer got a new, red, metallic, patent leather holster to fit her FN with a CT Rail Master and a matching double magazine carrier and belt. She also got a black holster for the same setup with flat dark earth stitching to match her pistol. Today, I�m wearing my M&P45 in black basket weave with matching magazines on the off side. |

MADISON (WSAU) Today is the first anniversary of Wisconsin�s concealed weapons law � and the state�s attorney general says it�s working as well as expected. About 138,500 state carry permits were granted in the first year � 13,000 more than what J-B Van Hollen predicted six months ago. Around 150,000 people have applied for concealed weapons licenses, and Van Hollen said many of the ones rejected were for clerical errors.
There were long delays at first in getting the applications processed. But the backlog has disappeared, and Van Hollen says the review process is now going smoothly. |

In the wake of tragedy, state legislators put politics aside and passed a bill to strengthen criminal penalties for gun trafficking. The move came just weeks after Michael Joseph Henry was arrested for supplying the gun that was used to murder Officer Bradley Fox.
As mayors, we witness how violence devastates not only the victims of crime, but whole families and communities, and we commend the legislature for passing this bill. But it will take a concerted effort to crack down on gun violence, and we hope that leaders in Harrisburg will stay the course and continue to fight for common-sense bills that keep guns out of the wrong hands.

His client was denied a NH non-resident carry license solely due to a 34 year old misdemeanor marijuana conviction received when he was 18 years old. The State was stubbornly enforcing their administrative rule (which, by the way, has no basis in law) that makes any misdemeanor conviction for drugs an automatic denial.

The comedian Chris Rock used to include a bit in his stand up comedy act in response to calls for gun control. Rock�s comedic premise was that a better idea might be bullet control. �If a bullet cost $5,000, there would be no more innocent bystanders,� Rock quipped. While gun violence is no laughing matter, the top official in Illinois� Cook County (which includes Chicago) had presented a plan that was somewhat akin to Rock�s idea of �bullet control:� a five-cent per-bullet tax.
As of yesterday, however, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has abandoned the bullet tax, which, in some cases, would have exceeded the cost of a bullet itself. |

The state is in the midst of panel discussions about whether it should modify its rules on accessibility to guns for people with mental illnesses.
The panel comes in the wake of the arrest of Neil Edwin Prescott, who allegedly told his boss over the phone in July, �I am a joker, I�m going to load my guns and blow everybody up,� after being fired from his job at a subcontractor of postage machine company Pitney Bowes. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. � Alexis de Tocqueville |
