Tracking device

College kid finds tracking device on his car. FBI warns him to cooperate or else. Now, he’s suing:

A community-college student filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the FBI for secretly putting a GPS tracking device on his car.

Yasir Afifi, 20 said he’s never done anything that should attract the interest of federal law-enforcement officials.

He said a mechanic doing an oil change on his car in October discovered the device stuck with magnets between his right-rear wheel and exhaust. They weren’t sure what it was, but Afifi had the mechanic remove it, and a friend posted photos of it online to see whether anyone could identify it.

In case it comes up, how are we spelling the name of that guy who will soon not be Libya’s leader these days?

Drinking and packing

In Iowa:

A new bill advancing through the Iowa Senate would compel gun owners to take a breathalyzer test if an officer suspects they’re intoxicated while armed.

Under the proposal, anyone who declines would automatically forfeit their firearm permit.

A lot of how to videos, from Brownells.

Sad and true

Most folks don’t know how business works. And, for some reason, profit is a bad word to a lot of people. To illustrate this, in the very near future there will be gnashing of teeth and accusations of price gouging as, by most accounts, the price of a gallon of gasoline starts to rise.

Illinois State Police Go To Bat for Privacy

They refuse to release information about who in the state is authorized to own a firearm. Good for them.

Operational Requirements for an Infantry Hand Weapon

A look at the Army’s once secret research on the effectiveness of infantry rifles. And this led to the military adopting the M16.

Emergency Powers

In Arkansas, a bill to prohibit the government from regulating guns during an emergency. And it prevents municipalities from suing gun makers. Not sure I like the latter bit.

TSA Failure

Amazing incompetence

Amazing.

On Polls

Sebastian notes the goal of the various Mayors Against Guns Polls. Of course, I don’t know that people would trust polls from an organization that is comprised of a large number of criminals.

Quote of the Day

Mike in comments on Illinois releasing a list of all those authorized to own firearms:

They are always after us to accept “reasonable” regulations. Now, they prove to us–again–that we should resist all forms of registration schemes that create any record of a lawful citizen’s purchases.

Well, reasonable regulations require reasonable people in charge of them.
