Atlantic County, New Jersey (My9NJ) –
27 year-old Shaneen Allen from Philadelphia wanted to protect her family. She took a gun safety course, applied for and was granted a concealed carry permit and she purchased a gun.

Welcome to the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee!

Absurd.

It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that, like a driver’s license, a concealed carry permit has reciprocity.

But, Nooooo!

Drunk racists shoot and kill black cop at Waffle House

*** begin quote ***

This weekend, 43-year-old police officer Kevin Jordan was shot and killed while working an in-uniform off-duty overnight security shift at a Waffle House in Georgia. After three inebriated customers–Tyler Taylor, Michael Bowman and Chantell Mixon–were asked to leave the restaurant for causing a disturbance, Jordan walked them outside to their car. The three summarily started screaming racial slurs at Jordan, and Mixon started to try to physically fight him. When Jordan tried to restrain Mixon in order to arrest her, Bowman pulled out his gun and shot him in the back several times, killing him.

While I’m a gun nut, I would no more concealed carry and drink than I would doing a roof or working with a chainsaw.

That being said, this was a terrible foreseeable tragedy.

Similar to a DUI, we should have little tolerance for carrying a firearm “under the influence”.

For some reason, I suspect that these three are not “fine upstanding citizens”. Like many criminals, they may have been through the “revolving doors” at various courthouses and jails.

I’m anxious to see further details of their careers.

Argh!

GUNS: Gun Control in Nazi Germany; it CAN happen here and has

Gun Control in Nazi Germany
By Audrey D. Kline

*** begin quote ***

As has been well documented, Jews were methodically attacked, their homes, businesses, and synagogues ransacked and burned. Upward of 30,000 Jews were arrested. Any Jews resisting arrest were ordered shot on the spot. Attacks on the Jews were to be carried out by the SA, with no interference by police. Jews arrested were to be sent to concentration camps for up to 20 years. The pogrom was so thorough that nearly all age appropriate, Jewish adult males in Stuttgart had been arrested. With the population afraid and disarmed, Hitler could proceed with little worry about resistance. The Court reinforced that there was no judicial review needed for activities of the Gestapo.

Halbrook concludes by noting that less government regulation and a tradition of rejecting tyranny could have led to a different outcome in Germany. Instead, systematic creation and manipulation of firearms registration and regulations, coupled with the decimation of individual citizen’s rights, enabled Hitler’s dictatorship and the slaughter of millions of innocent Jews and citizens of Nazi-occupied countries, as well as tens of thousands of Germans. It remains for all of us to wonder what might have been had people refused to register their firearms. Indeed, we should all take note and never forget.

“Gun Control” aka “Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose

Remember that it started in South to protect the KKK. Can’t have victims shooting back.

And never forget the Japanese internment.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Die in the camps like cattle or die fighting.

You’re dead either way.

The character “Ronald Spiers” in Band of Brothers (a 2001 TV Mini-Series): “The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”

“From my cold dead hands”

GUNS: “Victim disarmament” costs this poor woman her life

Bear kills Irish woman in savage attack in Canada
Kate Hickey @irishcentral May 10,2014 04:00 AM

*** begin quote ***

A Dublin woman had been killed by a male black bear on an oilfield in Alberta, Canada.

*** and ***

Lorna Weafer (36), who emigrated to Canada with her parents, Margaret and Frank, 30 years ago, was working as an instrument technician carrying out electrical work at the Suncor oilfield. The oilfield is located 25 miles north of her home in Fort McMurray.

The incident took place at 2:15pm on Wednesday, May 7. Weafer was exiting a portable washroom when she was attacked.

Six of her co-workers tried to scare off the bear but they could not save her. She died at scene.

Her colleagues blasted air horns, sprayed fire extinguishers and shot a water cannon at the bear who continued to maul Weafer for an hour. The bear would back away for short periods and then come back.

Are you kidding me. No one had a handgun or a rifle.

Argh!

As a species, we are delusional.

“Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose

In this case, mauled by a bear.

Maybe she couldn’t have defended herself, but that’s up for debate.

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), six co-workers armed with air horns?

One person with a 1911 .45 on their hip could have ended it a minute.

Transfer from magazine to bear would take conservatively a minute or two.

Argh!

GUNS: I’m no longer a Jerzeean; here’s one reason

Monday, May 5, 2014

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/04/28/new-jersey-appellate-court-on-handgun-licenses/

If you are not a contributor to the Democratic political machine, you are persona non gratta.

The estate tax of 15-22% is the other reason.

A plague on all the politicians and bureaucrats!

HOPE when they load you on the trains for the camps, you remember “I told you so”!

GUNS: Pretend that their assault weapon ban never existed

The “Assault Weapon” Rebellion
Townhall Magazine | Apr 12, 2014

*** begin quote ***

The government of Connecticut can’t threaten the citizenry with criminal charges. They’ve already willingly decided to become felons en masse. The government can’t threaten the citizenry with force. They’re both grossly outnumbered and outgunned. The government can’t offer an amnesty. It would only reinforce how little power the government has over a rebellious citizenry.

The only realistic option is for the government of Connecticut to pretend that their assault weapon ban never existed. To admit it exists, and that they can do nothing to enforce it, would reveal that the emperor and his court have no clothes.

A nearly identical problem is brewing next door in the much larger, more populous state of New York, thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s hastily-passed NY SAFE Act. That law demands that New Yorkers register their semi-automatic “assault rifles” with the government by April 15.

*** end quote ***

From my cold dead hands.

Why should the people fear the Gooferment?

They are a joke. 

A very dangerous joke. 

Look at speed limits. People are withdrawing consent in all sorts of little ways.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

And don’t forget the movie quote:

“Yes. In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate.” — movie Gandhi (1983)

Substitute “politicians and bureaucrats” and “gun owners” and that’s what’s happening here.

GUNS: Detroit Mom acts like Mother Bear; needs practice

Mother Opens Fire on Home Invaders to Protect Family

A trio of thugs had a brush with gunfire from a protective mother’s rifle in Detroit on Monday night.

Surveillance cameras caught the entire ordeal.

The woman told WXYZ News that she “didn’t have time to get scared.” When she heard the door to her home being kicked in, she immediately warned the three teenage intruders and then opened fire:

The only critique I have is that the three thugs walked away.

Better they should have been carried away.

A sad result, but good for the homeowner.

This is the second effect of the RKBA!

The primary reason is to keep the Gooferment, politicians, and bureaucrats in check.

best line is: “But I don’t have a few minutes.”

Technically, I guess she should have waited until he broke in. 

But, if I was on the Jury, I’d wink at that distinction. 

Not like he was there to sell Girl Scout cookies.

GUN: “Accident” doesn’t describe it

Songwriter Steven Fromholz Dies in Freak Hunting Accident
Monday, 20 Jan 2014 05:08 PM
By Cathy Burke

*** begin quote ***

Texas singer and songwriter Steven Fromholz – named the state’s poet laureate in 2007 – died in a freak hunting accident on a ranch near his home, reports said Monday.

The Dallas Morning News reported that Fromholz was shot Sunday at the Flying B Ranch and later died at a hospital in El Dorado, about 40 miles south of San Angelo. He was 68.

Chief sheriff’s Deputy George Ariste told the News that Fromholz and a girlfriend were going to hunt feral hogs when the accident occurred. Ariste said the singer grabbed the handle of a case that was holding a rifle. The case was unzipped at the bottom, and the gun hit the ground and discharged.

Who cases a loaded gun?

Means to me that there was round in barrel?

What about the safeties?

Someone was negligent!

What happened to “treat every gun as if it was loaded”?
