Gun Bill in TN

NRA notes Haslam signed the bill that was only written to deal with stupid people:

On March 31, Governor Bill Haslam signed Senate Bill 519 into law. SB 519, which took immediate effect, recognizes that any employer permitting a person to legally carry a firearm on the employer’s property does not constitute an “occupational safety and health hazard” to the employees.

Those two anti-gun lawyers were trying to argue that guns in restaurants were a safety hazard.

Pro-Tip

Putting sport pipes on your Honda Civic doesn’t make it fast and furious. It makes it sound like it’s perpetually farting.

The first I heard of Glenn Beck

Was when he keynoted the NRA Annual Meeting banquet in Louisville in 2008. Never heard of him before that and got to watch him give a speech. A few other folks there told me that they liked his show and, so, I awaited his speech. It was a good speech. It was delivered well but I could have done without all the crying. His radio show wasn’t on here until recently and I never really thought much about him. Until all the press and lefties (but I repeat myself) started going on about him. This rekindled a faint bit of interest. And I read some stuff he’d written.

But something happened. Apparently, that guy giving a decent, patriotic, freedom-oriented speech at NRA-Con had gone bat shit fucking crazy.

He is now packing up his chalk and jumbo-pack of Kleenex and leaving FoxNews.

Knife rights

In Maine, automatic unfolding knives made legal for people with the use of one arm. You probably know them by their scary name switchblades.

Cracking down on porn

Having rid the world of terrorism and crime, Orrin Hatch encourages the DOJ to increase prosecutions for porn. The letter was signed by 100 congressmonkies.

Naturally Concealed

Breda has a look at the feminine concealment product mentioned yesterday. The method of drawing seems to involve removing your shirt. So, when some woman using this comes to save you, you can thank her for saving you and for the show.

Like shoulder holsters, I don’t really see how you can draw the weapon without pointing it at yourself.

Caseless revolver

I must get one of these: Only semi-automatic handguns can leave micro-stamps: Revolvers cannot because their bullets have no shell casings.

School shooting

In Brazil.

Odd

Man loses gun. Woman finds it. Sends a round through a wall. People apparently do carry NAAs.

Let them eat cake

Or, you know, buy new cars.

In NC

HB650: appears to be a sort of catch all firearms law cleanup.

Governor Moonbeam Owns 3 Guns

That’s what he tells a law enforcement group. Good. I wonder if those cops ran his name through the state database to see what he lawfully owns? Since Jerry ain’t saying.

Consumer Blogging

I ordered a new grill. A Primo Junior, if you must know. Now, given it’s odd shape and size, I needed a table for it. So, searching around, I found this table from barbecuegrillsandmore.com and thought that would fit the bill. I mean, looking at the picture and how it’s advertised, you’d think that you were getting the right thing. Right? But, no, what was actually shipped to me was this.

That’s a pretty significant difference. They did offer to send us the rest of the parts. At first, it was going to be another $100, which we where cool with. And then, when asked, if these additional parts get me the complete package of what is shown in that photo, we discovered that it did not. We’d need another $160 worth of stuff. Decided at that point that it wasn’t worth it nor was it worth dealing with them. Despite explaining to them on the phone that the image might be a tad misleading and maybe they should look into that, the folks at BarbecueGrillsAndMore.com couldn’t seem to understand that. And felt like I was obviously an idiot for not reading the fine print. The fine print that they had to tell us about. The amazon picture is realistic. Theirs isn’t.

Layers of editorial oversight

Ok, then.

Scary Words

Used to describe safety devices:

Robert Lewis was, however, convicted on a fourth charge: possession of a weapon of mass destruction and death for having a homemade silencer attached to a .22-caliber rifle found by the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office during a search of Lewis’ Kanton Hills home almost two years ago.

Really? That’s the charge for possessing a suppressor in NC? Odd. Usually, it’s tax evasion for not paying the $200 tax.

How to cut the budget

I’m with Tam. When they shut down ‘non-essential services’ and no one notices, cut all of those.

More NYC

Sebastian has more, including discussion of chemical deterrent laws in NYC.

From this post, a lot of people are telling me to carry a cane. Really? I think my coworkers might notice if I suddenly developed a limp or something.

I did order some Fox OC. From Amazon. To be shipped to my door in two days. Ain’t America great? And, of course, the S&W TacPen. I’m a fan.

Media Matters and Guns

Shockingly, the hacks are wrong.

Yeah, I know what you mean:

Best they got

Dear Republicans, I know it’s early and all. But the people making noises to run on your ticket are unappealing.

Huckabee? Really. I’ll stay home. Don’t need the God Squad indoctrinating me at gun point.

Donald Trump? Uhm, here’s a guy who bankrupted a casino. A fucking casino. How do you do that?

Palin. Damaged goods. Sorry.

Newt: The best one, so far. But he’s tainted too.

Romney: May as well vote for Obama.

Work on it.

Yikes

Wow. But he never breaks formation or his stride.

Banning Shotguns by Legislative Fiat

Tom Reynolds has an ongoing series on ATF’s shotgun ‘study’ and coming importation restrictions. Expect updates.
