In Afghanistan. Interesting to me that the press is wondering if our troops have the best that money can buy.

Right now, on newatalk 100.

Kirk finished his AR-15. Nice.

In PA:

a Pennsylvania gun owner named Tony Jackson may have been the first person ever fired for looking at Web sites featuring gun parts.

Jackson worked at a Lotus Notes administrator at Planco, a subsidiary of Hartford, Conn.-based insurance company The Hartford. He’s a firearms instructor and self-described Second Amendment advocate who, while at work in May 2007, visited Web sites including shotgun maker Mossberg and Impact Guns’s online store because he and his wife were planning on going skeet shooting and she needed a replacement part for her shotgun.

And as a bonus, his firing was because:

When Jackson was searching the Web for a replacement shotgun stock, supervisor Christie Vazquez — who admitted in a subsequent deposition to being “very anti-gun” and had quarreled with him before about politics — noticed what he was doing. Vazquez said she was scared because it was only a few weeks after the Virginia Tech massacre (see CBS News video), so she promptly reported her colleague’s Web browsing to Planco’s human resources department. Vazquez also informed the HR department that Jackson owned guns and was a member of the National Rifle Association.

I think one of my policies is through Hartford. That will soon change.

Today, we’re bombing the Moon. That’s as far as I’m willing to take it. The last thing we need is to get involved in a ground war there.

On Facebook, people hate Mondays, look forward to the weekend, their kids did something funny, they ate something, and like cats. Just so you know.

Also, it seems that I’ve had quite a few people attempt to befriend me. And I didn’t know who they were, so I hit the ignore button. And now it’s occurring to me that they’re bloggers and blog readers. I guess that’s the danger of using internet pseudonyms. Is there a way to un-ignore those requests so I can go back through them?

And if I ignored you, sorry about that. In social media, I assume there’s a high ratio of spam. But seems FB doesn’t have that problem.

Update: from comments, I apparently cannot un-ignore you. So, if you sent a request and did not hear back, re-send it. But let me know you’re a blog reader. Or you can send me an email at:

To tell me about it.

I really have nothing to say about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s so surreal I can’t even work up something snarky to say.

Seems if you talk about the kid who was beaten to death in Chicago, that just provides cover for the gun lobby. You see, if you talk about that when you should be talking about the gun lobby, you’re not being helpful.

But it doesn’t matter. We should ban weapons that look like assault weapons because of this death. Instead of two by fours.

I think I’m going to request a copy of my FBI file. You can do it too.

Breda: She was a passionate, knowledgeable advocate for the right to bear arms and will be much missed in the 2A community.

Linoge: Meleanie Hain’s life was cut tragically and unncessarily short, but she was able to accomplish a great deal despite it, and she will doubtless be remembered for the good she has done for the pro-rights community as a whole.

Roberta is none too pleased at the press dancing in the blood of the dead. I have to admit, it’s the first time I’ve seen the press completely trash a victim of domestic violence.

And Sebastian reminds us that having a gun for protection doesn’t make you bulletproof.

The AR-15 platform is replacing the your standard wood stock rifle as the weapon of choice for hunting. Could be.

WeerdBeard thinks it’s pretty dumb too.

John Fogh isn’t too keen on the idea either and offers some more advice.

Michael notes our legislators received an award for openness even though they exempted themselves from open records laws.

TeeVee is different. Imagine if a kids’ show today did a bit with a confederate flag or a bit that featured whiskey, smoking, gambling and some dude dying.

Two big gun show promoters don’t really take issue with background checks at gun shows.

Heh.

Be sure of your target and what’s behind it. Police officer sees woman playing with dog. Presumes dog is attacking since it is a politically incorrect dog. Officer shoots the dog and the woman.

In Tennessee, a man is arrested for unlawfully carrying in a park. The stories seem to conflict but that man is, basically, fishing in a park with a gun. One side says there was some sort of argument and the other side denies that.

Also, the police wrote the citation incorrectly.

Via Main Street Journal, who calls it mistaken gun carry.

Senate hearing lead by Feingold to look at the constitutionality of Czars.

Apparently, a Democrat ad in Tennessee absurdly says that a Republican supports cloning. Jeff Woods tells them to knock that off. Sticking it to the man and bringing the righteous truth. Odd because absurd claims are more Jeff’s specialty.

Top Ten Conspiracy Theories.

As I’ve said before, I love conspiracy theories. Some of the most entertaining reading ever. I have to admit, the Paul McCartney one is new to me.

Give up?
