Sometimes he’s nutty
or corny
This year’s convention is held at a place that doesn’t allow concealed carry. This has happened before. IIRC, Louisville was the first one that allowed it. It’s because of the venue and not NRA policy. Curt says he won’t go because of it. Sebastian says it’s an issue but there are other considerations NRA has to factor in to its choice of venue.
I’m going. Already got a room.
ETA: Some doubt as to whether Louisville was the first and I cannot find where I read that. So, maybe not.
I had always assumed it was shall issue. Turns out, sheriff’s have broad discretion. A bill in the works to fix that.
Add to the complete list of things that global warming causes that Russians may invade Canada.
Some combination of websurfing last night brought back a flurry of childhood memories. Not quite sure how I got there. But I managed to stumble across a few things that reminded me of when I was a kid and dad was stationed in Hawaii, in the late 1970s. Every day, after school, me and my sister would watch Checkers and Pogo, a show I’d honestly forgotten the name of until I somehow stumbled across it last night. There’s even youtube videos of it.
Then, that got me to thinking about other things there. One of those things was my favorite candy as a kid called Salty Seeds. It was made by a company called Yick Lung. And whenever mom took us to the commissary, she’d give us a dollar to buy candy. And you could get 5 various candies for that dollar. I’d get five packs of salty seed. Loved them. In 1999, I started working in public accounting. One of my co-workers was from Hawaii and I asked him if Yick Lung still made Salty Seeds. He got me some. Just as good as I remember. We’ve lost contact and I’ve not been able to find any since. Until I discovered this site. May have to order some.
Then, further searching lead me to pictures of Rabbit Island and Turtle Island, which we could see from one of the beaches we used to spend our weekends at.
If Hawaii wasn’t such a racist place, I might go back to visit.
Shorter Brady Campaign: Well, that didn’t work. Let’s try a different lame accusation!

Reader kristopher on the recent going ons in Belle Meade:
He forced these victim-disarmament ninnies to change their law … and make it fall under state pre-emption.
Well played, actually.
A grandfathered gun law is now vulnerable to legal attack.
You can polish a turd.
Tam:
What I want to know is how come the same person who would never walk alone through a dark alley in New York City will go and “experience” the wilderness by themselves without so much as a dull butter knife to their name
Handled the gun fight with civility.
It also marks a change. In the past, the Brady Campaign could bleat at some company and it might cave. If you can’t get the hippie culture at Starbucks to look your way, well, I’d say you’ve got your work cut out for you.
Bane sent them an email over their opposition to unlicensed carry and gets a response.
I became a conservative by being around liberals and I became a libertarian by being around conservatives.
