The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Apparently, the Pittsburgh equivalent of the classic cheesesteak is a sandwich from a chain of joints known as Primanti Brothers. Unfortunately for those of you who plan on attending the NRA meeting and want to try a bit of local cuisine, you should probably know that Primanti Brothers hosted Bloomberg’s anti-gun billboard campaign at their … Continue reading “Avoiding Anti-Gun Food in Pittsburgh”
The Arizona Rifleman is getting some first hand experience with on-the-ground activism with the campus carry movement. You can see his first hand account here, and here. Get involved enough, and eventually you’ll get this feeling too: At several points, I wanted to say to the pro-gun people, “Stop it. You’re not helping.†— we’re … Continue reading “Arizona Grassroots Experience With Campus Carry”
Both Danno and Dustin are reporting. Very good. I found that at the NRA Convention, being on foot, it was a real pain in the ass to deal with. Can we get this fixed in North Carolina before Charlotte? UPDATE: Parking lot carry was signed as well.
Looking through some of the forum comments, like the one here. I don’t honestly think preemption can be negotiated. Anyone who’s read me for any length of time knows that I understand an incremental approach to progress on the political front, and I’m glad the folks in IL aren’t taking the path some other states … Continue reading “Some Forum Views on Home Rule LTC”
Looks like the other Sebastian had lunch with one of the “Lairds of Fairfax” as they are being called in some circles, and discovers he’s concerned about infighting: He stressed that infighting between various RKBA groups was way more dangerous to the 2A than the Bradys could ever be; the Tripwire effect (pernicious infighting and … Continue reading “Pro-Gun Progressive on NRA President Sigler”
Via Dave Hardy, the bill in Georgia for Parking lot carry has been largely gutted. Concealed Weapons Permit holders will be pleased though, as it removes the ban in State Parks. I still question whether the Parking Lot issue is worth spending all these political resources. It may have passed in a few states, but … Continue reading “Gutted”
Ahab notes an e-mail he received from the GeorgiaCarry.org folks: I have been working closely with the NRA trying to get them to join the other groups that have already given their written endorsement to HB 915, including GCO, GSSA (the NRA affiliate in Georgia), SCCC, and GOA. I still hold out hope that the … Continue reading “I’m The Responsible Party”
Both Conservative Scalawag and this guy are unhappy about NRA’s lack of support for Georgia HB 915, which improves Georgia’s carry laws by removing off limits places, and also includes a number of other pro-gun provisions: Yep, the NRA, in my opinion has completely alienated the Georgia citizens and gun owners. This begs the question, … Continue reading “Unhappy Georgians”
Clayton Cramer does an excellent job tearing apart Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke’s latest statements against state pushing parking lot carry at work. I know I’ve come out against this bill for other reasons, but the Brady Campaign are still completely full of crap: “This is not about personal freedom – getting shot in the … Continue reading “Selling Deception (Again)”
