Common Sense Gun Laws
Sure, I like the fact that Wisconsin made it easier for active duty military and retired police to get concealed carry permits, but what really makes sense to eliminate senseless violence perpetrated by (bad) people with guns is this: Get caught as a felon in possession, three years in prison. Use it to commit a violent…

Thoughts on the Zimmerman Case
George Zimmerman put himself in the wrong place. Sorry, guys, I know we like to say “when seconds count, the police are only minutes away,” and that’s true, but even if Trayvon Martin was up to something criminal that night, there was no immediate threat to Zimmerman. A suspicious person walking through your neighborhood is…

I’m not Seeing the Hate Crimes Enhancer
A woman was assaulted while playing the saxophone outside Summer Fest. Why? Because she was playing Minnie The Moocher, a jazz/blues song, and three African-American women didn’t think “a white girl” could play that song. So they hit her. Repeatedly. Three women were cited for disorderly conduct, and one of them for assault and battery.…

Quote of the Day – Stupid Solutions Edition
When you get down to it, a sign asking a bad guy not to do something bad is stupid, regardless if you’re asking them to not bring in their guns or to not rob the place. But stupid people require stupid solutions I guess. – Robb

Be careful
Sebastian had some trouble at the airport after forgetting a loaded magazine in a computer bag. I had one of the incidents that never happened a couple months back. As part of a large project at work, I needed to travel to a few different sites. We have a facility in MN, and, as usual,…

Quote of the Day – Restraining Orders Edition
Restraining orders are useless in much the same way that laws don’t mean much to someone who’s decided he’s going to kill you. Multiple jacketed hollowpoints on the other hand tend to lead to a cessation of agressive, violent behavior. – Mike W I try to avoid using other blogger’s QotDs, but in this case…

Interesting
Catching up at Say Uncle’s, I ran across this: FBI Data On officers killed in the line of duty. Down 17 from last year Great news. Fewer officers killed in the line of duty is a Good Thing. Then there was this: Beretta: First quarter sales are up 66% compared to last year. And this:…
