NC Senate Bill 17: Concealed Carry Permits Validity.

Senate Bill 17 makes no sense to me. This is a step backwards. At the moment North Carolina has universal reciprocity. This bill would change that. It bars people people who have a valid concealed carry permit from another state from carrying in NC if that state is not their state of residence. These people live in states that don't have concealed carry or have "may issue" which is essentially the same damn thing. Their only recourse is to obtain a permit from another state that issues non resident permits. They still have to jump through all the background check and training hoops residents of that particular state. They proven themselves to be responsible citizens. So what's the problem?

This makes no sense from a GRNC 4 star rated legislator. State Senator Stan Bingham, said legislator, who proposed this change, should have to answer that question. Call him and ask him. Email him and ask him. If you are local to him, knock on his door and ask him. Do it whether you are his constituent or not. We need an answer. This bill needs to die quickly. Don't call just Bingham. Call your own representatives and ask them to drive a stake through this bill's heart.

Just saying...

Allegedly, the Iranians claim to have launched a rocket containing a monkey as a payload and then returned said payload back to earth intact. I'm not so sure intact means alive, but there's an easy way to find out. Has anyone seen Ahmadinejad in public recently?

Seriously?

PIERS MORGAN: I have an interview coming up with two young women who wrote a piece in which they said they wanted the rights of the AR-15 weapon at home because they feared they would be attacked and they wanted a gun that would guarantee they would murder or would kill their attacker. How do you respond to that particular argument, which is they believe under their second amendment right they should be allowed an AR-15?

CAROLYN MCCARTHY: I will tell you, if you talk to professionals, hunters and certainly sportsmen, they’ll tell you that’s not the gun to use. A rifle is more accurate. It’s certainly easier for a woman to be able to do that.

Really no additional comment is required. Aw, the hell with it. This is the lady [and I use the term loosely] of "the shoulder thing that goes up" fame. This lady is the quality of people we have writing the laws that govern the rest of us? Seriously? The people of Long Island deserve everything they get for sending her to Congress. Unfortunately, the rest of us don't.

So here's my question?

How many of you guys are actually old enough to have seen Lost in Space when was originally broadcast?

For me its one of those shows remembered fondly but best not re-experienced.

FYI: It was originally broadcast between September 15, 1965, and March 6, 1968.

ARRRRRG, the stupid. It hurts

In Hyannis MA, a five year old makes a gun out of Legos and is threatened with expulsion. You see according to the principal it was a "threat" to the other children. According to me the principal is an idiot. They're toys lady. FRICK'N toys. They are a threat to no one. He was playing like all normal five year old boys do.

My hope for the family of the five year old is that they are well off enough to pull their child from the local public indoctrination center and home school him. BECAUSE if the principal is any indication of the level of intelligence of the rest of the school staff, he can't possibly be any worse off being taught at home.

Heh.

Tuesday's Congressional joke!

The difference, of course, is that police chiefs...

...are appointed and serve at the pleasure of their political masters. A sheriff is elected and serves at the pleasure of the electorate. Being subject to the voters opens one's mind a bit.

We need to see more of this.

Police officers in Seattle, Washington held their first gun buyback program in 20 years this weekend, underneath interstate 5, and soon found that private gun collectors were working the large crowd as little makeshift gun shows began dotting the parking lot and sidewalks. Some even had “cash for guns” signs prominently displayed.
Now that's funny.

We need to see more of this.

Vermont Gun Range Bans Police Officers From Facility Over Proposed Ban On Semi-Automatic Rifles
It seems to me that the owners of the range have joined the "dialogue". The City of Burlington just don't like their contribution.

Just curious...

You have to wonder what the back story is on this. A man is arrested for child endangerment after he posts a picture on Facebook of him holding his infant daughter and a BB pistol. Was he pointing it at her? Is it simply a matter of the child's maternal grandmother taking an opportunity to stick it to a son-in-law or "baby daddy" she detests. That I at least understand and have sympathy for. I have no clue what kind of father the arrestee is or what kind of hisotry he has. Unfortunately, the picture is not available to the new outlets and what I know is the bare bones of this news story. I'm just curious as to why having a picture of yourself with a child and a BB gun posted on social media qualifies as "child endangerment" in Colerain Township Ohio and what's going to happen if someone else posts a picture of themselves and their child plinking with a 10-22?

Well, actually, it is. The media hasn't offered a balanced report on gun control. You tend to lean toward the prohibitionists. So don't show me a tight shot of people marching and carrying signs. Pull back and show me the crowd. Then maybe I'll buy "thousands" marching for gun control. You guys just haven't earned my trust.

They want compromise

The way I see it we've been compromising since at least the National Firearms Act of 1934. It time for the other guys to give a little. We'll start with withdrawing all currently proposed gun control legislation and move on to what laws to repeal. How's that for compromise?

Well, that settles that

Thanks, but we knew that already...

I'm glad we have at least one Law Enforcement Administrator willing to tell the public something most gun owners and rank and file police officers have always known. The only person who can ensure your safety is yourself and a community is only as safe as the community members will make it.

Get a gun. Get training. Carry.

And boy, do the Moonbats come out when a bureaucrat breaks ranks.

UPDATE: The PSA.

Obama suggests Republicans unwilling to compromise in gun control debate

Aside from the fact that a Congressman that listens to the "American Public" on any issue rather than their constituents doesn't stay a Congressman long. I'd argue that they are listening to their constituents on the issue of gun control because they know what's good for them. Too bad for you that most don't agree with you. Its you, Mister President, that are out of touch with the "American Public" on gun control. Now pound sand.

We are screwed.

Democrats introduce expanded assault-weapons ban

Pretty much as advertised with the usual suspects. All that was missing was the backdrop of children.

Call your representatives and let them know where you stand. Call often. While you're at it call the NRA and let them know where you stand.

No compromise. Ever.

The List

Liberal Logic

No Compromise.

Poll: NC supports background checks, concerned about mental health
Universal background checks are touted as the most likely consequence of Sandy Hook and an acceptable compromise. If you trust polls it would seem a majority support them. Me, I don't think so. The purpose of the Bill of Rights and the "shall not be infringed" is to protect the rights written therein. It don't matter how many oppose the right. It's still a right. You don't like it, change the Constitution.

Now having got that out of the way, I have two reasons to oppose universal background checks. The first is they won't work. Criminals get their guns by theft, other criminals, or from family members. They don't undergo background checks. They're criminals.

They won't impact crime. They won't impact mass killings like Sandy Hook. The evil git there killed his mother and took her guns. The evil git at the Virginia Tech bought his legally. He passed a background check. So did the evil git in Colorado theater. The evil gits from Columbine used a straw purchaser to get at least one of their guns.

The second and best reason to oppose universal background checks is the antis want it. Its not a compromise for them. They don't compromise. They never have. Why should we believe they would now. Any gun control law passed has always been a first step for them toward a ban and nothing more. Universal background checks begin the creation of an infrastructure for a national gun registry. That gives them the who, what and where to go and seize guns. Wait, the antis call this paranoid and ridiculous. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Anyway knowing those fuckers for what they are ain't paranoia. Its common sense.

So contact your representatives and the NRA and let them know where you stand. No compromise. Not one inch. Ever.

Ignore the claptrap about “caring for the children” and “making sure that weapons don’t fall into the hands of criminals.” It’s all a ruse designed by the anti-gun lobby. Universal background checks have nothing whatsoever to do with keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals, or a reduction in violence of any sort. The system, if set up, is a predecessor and necessary prerequisite to a national gun registry. This is evil to its very core.

My oldest daughter recommends books to me on a regular basis. Most don't really appeal to me. Her tastes run to urban fantasy and mine to Baen Books. She brought me a copy of Carrie Vaughn's After the Golden Age to get me to read it. So I did. It's a well written story of the daughter of superheroes and how she comes to terms with them. I enjoyed it and recommend it to any interested.

If they weren't so f%&$ing pathetic, I'd laugh.

New York State Legislators were so damn eager to pass their anti-Second Amendment, anti-gun legislation they forgot something. They didn't exempt the police. As of now when the law goes into effect the po po will be in violation of the seven round limit on magazine capacity. So now the legislature is scrambling to amend the law to exempt police.

You wouldn't want the police to be at a disadvantage against criminals or law abiding citizens because because even though the police work for us they are somehow better than the run of the mill citizen and it's not like citizens don't face the same dangers the police do every day. Besides, when the shit hits the fan the police are always standing right there to protect us...right?

How to crush Democrats' dumbest (but pervasive) gun control argument

President Obama and his fellow travelers use the numbers...

...that will push their agenda, even when they know those numbers are utter bullshit. Remember the Mexican canard?
Gun Sales and Background Checks: Obama’s Bogus 40 Percent Stat
The all knowing and powerful Obama says 40% of gun sales take place without background checks. Let's add the word legal to that just to clarify. Criminals don't bother with background checks. This 40% stat is based on a two decade old study made before Brady changes the rules on when background checks had to be made and it was suspect then. In the year 2013 it supports nothing. Bloomberg and Obama don't care. It furthers an agenda. All it does is prove the old adage, lies, damn lies, and statistics. Oh and a prohibitionist will do whatever it takes to win...even lie.

I don't think so Joe

I was listening to the news on the way to work and I heard a blurb on VP " Foot in Mouth" Biden's interest in James Bond's smart gun from Skyfall. 

OK, here's the deal. When the President's Secret Service Detail adopt smart guns as their duty weapons, when law enforcement Federal, State, and local trade out their Glocks, Sigs, and M&Ps for smart guns, when Bloomberg's, Murdock's, or Gates' security details adopt smart guns I'll think about it. For about two seconds, because the trouble with smart guns is the electronic nature of the "smart" and a firearm that Obama, Biden, Bloomberg, or the statetist prick of your choice can turn off at the touch of a button does me no good at all.

A Response From Senator Hagan

I also wrote Senator Hagan and this is the response.
January 10, 2013

Dear Friend,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the horrific tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this issue, and my thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and families of this senseless and appalling act of violence.

In the wake of the shooting in Newtown, which left twenty-six innocent members of the community dead, many of them young children, Americans across the country are searching for answers on how we can prevent such tragic events from happening in the future. I believe we must do all we can to put laws and policies in place to prevent future tragedies such as this one. Doing that will require a common-sense debate on a comprehensive approach that examines all relevant issues, including access to firearms, mental healthcare, and the prevalence of violence in video games and media. Additionally, Senator Feinstein has stated her intent to introduce legislation concerning access to firearms at the start of the 113th Congress. To date, that legislation has not been introduced. As always, it is important that we not unnecessarily infringe on the legitimate Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners.

Like you, I have always been an advocate for Second Amendment rights. My family, like the great state of North Carolina, has a long tradition of hunting and gun ownership, and I take great pride in that heritage. During my tenure in the North Carolina Senate I continuously supported the responsible use of firearms. As your United States Senator, I will always be committed to protecting these fundamental, constitutional rights.

Again, thank you for contacting my office. It is truly an honor to represent North Carolina in the United States Senate, and I hope you will not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have any further questions or concerns. If you would like to stay informed on my work in the Senate, you can sign up for my e-newsletter, follow me on Twitter at @SenatorHagan, or visit my Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Kay R. Hagan

John Richardson got the same boilerplate response and has his opinion. Sounds to me like she's spouting the Obama party line. The telling line for mewas "As always, it is important that we not unnecessarily infringe on the legitimate Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners."

unnecessarily infringe

It's an enumerated right. All infringements of that right are unnecessary AND unconstitutional.

legitimate Second Amendment rights

There are no illegitimate Second Amendment rights.

Sounds like she is more than ready to ignore her responsibilities and stab gun owners in the back.

I got another email from Hagan's office saying their priority in 2013 was Constituent Services. If she, as I expect she will, votes to violate my rights, my priority will be to see her out of office in 2014.

Thursday, January 10, 2013

Yep

Howard Coble responds...

I wrote an email to Howard Coble. This is his response.
Dear Mr. XXXXX:

Thank you for contacting our office to share your views regarding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. We appreciate hearing from you.

There is no remedy for an innocent life that has been taken by the misuse of a firearm. The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School is a painful and saddening reminder about the very real threat that is posed by gun violence.

The Second Amendment clearly provides a constitutional right to keep and bear arms but that does not trump the authority of the government to maintain public safety, particularly for children. Although the federal government has an important role regulating the use of guns, most criminal statutes are imposed by state governments. Unfortunately, criminal statutes oftentimes are not enough to stop gun violence, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts have some of the strongest gun laws in the country, but they also experience high numbers of gun-related crimes.

I believe that the right to bear arms must be exercised responsibly and that the tragedy at Sandy Hook should not be overlooked. Federal and state governments should work together to develop comprehensive policies that will update the manner in which we address gun violence and mental illness. It's clear that stringent laws are not enough to eliminate gun violence, and at the same time, it is obvious that more regulations alone will not ensure our safety from gun violence in the future.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We will be sure to keep them in mind should relevant legislation be considered. In the meantime, please feel free to contact our office if we may be of assistance in the future.

Sincerely,

HOWARD COBLE

Member of Congress

That response struck me as wishy washy as Hell. Soooo...I responded back.
Mr. Coble,

Thank you for your response to my email to you. You write that "The Second Amendment clearly provides a constitutional right to keep and bear arms but that does not trump the authority of the government to maintain public safety, particularly for children.". I must disagree. The entire purpose of the Constitution is to place limits on government action. If the Constitution says you can't do it, then you can't. The Second Amendment clearly states that the rights of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. One of your responsibilities as a Congressman is to use your influence to ensure that legislation that violates the Constitution, in letter or spirit, does not make it out of the House. We are a Constitutional Republic. If the majority feels that a portion of the Constitution is flawed then the way to correct the flaw is set forth in the Constitution itself. You repeal it. you don't rationalize your actions and ignore it. With all due respect sir, do your job.

Sincerely,

I know, he'll probably never see, much less read, it. Felt good though.

The New Bradys

So I noticed Gabby Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, have announced a new gun control initiative. Kelly's a gun owner but they want common sense solutions to gun violence. They want to provide a counter force to the NRA's influence in Washington. The NRA is full if fringe extremists and don't represent the majority of gun owners in this country. Sounds like divide and conquer to me. It also smells of the fat little fingers of Mayor Mikey Bloomberg. Yeah I know. I've not seen anything in print supporting that claim but they met with him and like I said, it smells. OK then. We have two new poster children for the gun control movement and a strategy that should concern us. Our advantage is they are operating on a false premises. The NRA isn't the fringe of gun owners. It's the mainstream. Opposition to an assault weapons ban, magazine ban, and backgrounds on private sales aren't fringe. They just wish they were. Now I'll admit there are fringe elements in any group. We have ours as well. Infringe on our rights and they'll no doubt see them.

While watching the News...

Jay Carney: This President is committed...

Me: He should be.

Hope springs eternal.

What the future holds?

On the News...

So there I was watching the news on WTVD when they had a story on a NCSU emplyee who was arrested for having weapons on campus. Apparently, he had two pistols in his locker and an AR15 in his car. I don't have a problem with reporting this even though I don't see how this truely rates as news. It must have been a slow day in the newsroom. I do have a problem with Kelli O'Hara's need to sensationalize it. You see one of the pistols was "locked and loaded" and the rifle was the "exact same rifle as was used in Newtown". Which has exactly what to do with the story unless she knows something she not telling? She a "journalist" so we know that ain't so.

AND apparently no one could tell O'Hara whether the arrestee had a license for the weapons. Ms. O'Hara, in North Carolina you have tp have a premit to carry weapon concealed on your person. You do not have to have a "license" to own or carry a handgun or a rifle and maybe you should actually do your due diligence, ya know, research, before you report on subject matter you don't have a clue about. I think that's included in your job description.

The urge to act on gun control

It's not what you might think from the title.

H/T to Uncle.

A world without guns

Nasty, Brutish, and Short

What if...

In Georgia, an evil git breaks into a house during the day. The woman inside hears the man forcing the door, calls her husband, then and takes her two children and hides in a crawlspace. Once in the house the evil git opens the closet door behind which are the woman and her children. He finds the woman, her children, and a .38 revolver pointed at him. The woman empties the revolver into his face hitting him five times. She orders him to the floor and he complies. She takes the children and runs. The police later find the evil git in a nearby driveway. He survived. The woman and her children were frightened but unharmed. It ended relatively well, but what if...

What if the evil git wounded had still been able to attack the woman? What if the evil git had been accompanied by other evil gits. What if the six rounds in the woman's revolver hadn't been enough to get the job done. That's the rub. The prohibitionists seem to think they know how many rounds a person needs to defend themselves. They tell us ten rounds are enough. Reality is they don't know and I don't know. The woman is fortunate the six rounds in her revolver were enough. I'd rather she have had a semi-automatic pistol, in the caliber of her choice, with the "highest" capacity of rounds the magazine would hold. I'll err on the side of caution and the prohibitionist can pound sand.

Narcissist in Chief

For years my house has been...

...in North Carolina's 4th Congressional District. That would be David Price's district. For years, as a gun owner, I've had no representation at all from the man. Since the North Carolina Legislature redrew the Congressional districts my address is now in District 6 and Howard Coble is my representative. Now I've got a rep that scores four stars from the GRNC. I've got a rep that may actually hold some of the same positions on guns and the Constitution that I do. Maybe not all, but I'm still further ahead in the game than I was under Price. That's an amazing feeling.

It ain't a conversation, Mr. President,...

...if gun owners aren't included.

It's a lecture.

That would be gun control Chicago style.
Investigators say two men pretending to be customers walked into the shop Wednesday at about 5:25 p.m. The men attempted to rob Kozel and one of his employees. One of the robbers shot Kozel in the back, as he was trying to get to safety.
This is what the prohibitionists want for the rest of us. A law abiding citizen, unable to defend himself, dead from a bullet in the back fired by a criminal who ignored some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.
