Target is weighing banning guns in their stores

Seems that after folks open carrying ARs in their stores and a shoplifter leaving one on the shelf, the management is considering banning firearms at its stores. Now, my family spends a bunch of money at Target. If this happens, we will stop.

You can contact Target at 1-800-440-0680 or email them at Guest.Relations@Target.com.

I suggest making your voice heard.

Help some internet friends out

Sabra and Erik are going through something I cannot imagine. Their unborn baby will not survive after birth. And they’re about to lose their apartment. Funerals are expensive. If you can help, click to donate.

Thank you.

@shannonrwatts is a liar

Well, we knew that. But now she’s claiming that someone defending themselves with a gun never happens. If that’s the case, why does she have armed bodyguards?

If guns cause people to shoot other people…

Because you’re racist.

Lighten up, Francis

Jim Wilson reminds us why we shoot. Because it’s fun.

Gun control groups keep raising money

And keep losing. A lot of Republicans on that list of donors.

This is why we don’t just our guns as flashlights

Weapon-mounted lights and accidental shootings. It’s also why I’m a fan of LaserGrips, with the design no additional action is required to activate it.

What happens in Vegas

Two loons, a man and woman, shot a couple of police officers eating lunch and said “This is the start of a revolution”. Then did an interview with a witness proudly stating what they did. They were, possibly, confronted by a person with a gun who was killed. And then went and shot themselves. Next time, nut jobs, start with that last thing first.

72 hour kit

MD Creekmore has an excerpt from his book on a bug out bag.

Related, months ago I started realizing I needed to focus on long term prepping. I asked MD for some advice on what food to stock and how. He sent me a copy of his book 31 Days to Survival: A Complete Plan for Emergency Preparedness. I’m a fan. Lays out step by step list of things to do in order to be prepared long term.

And, once I realized Amazon sold bulk food, it was easy to do.

Asking saves lives: Did your child go through the Eddie Eagle Program and knows what to do in the presence of a gun?

They took our jobs

The White House blocked the re-importation of M1 Garands from South Korea. As such, the importer of those guns laid off 41 people.

Judge to ATF: Stop making it up as you go along

Arbitrary and capricious: An interesting opinion in which a judge tells the ATF that for something to be a suppressor, it has to actually suppress sound:

A mouse is not an “elephant” solely because it has three characteristics that are common to known elephants: a tail, gray skin, and four legs. A child’s bike is not a “motorcycle” solely because it has three characteristics common to known motorcycles: two rubber tires, handlebars, and a leather seat. And a Bud Light is not “Single-Malt Scotch,” just because it is frequently served in a glass container, contains alcohol, and is available for purchase at a tavern.

And, as the judge noted, one would think that to determine if something is a silencer, ATF probably should measure the sound.

Gun guy to the rescue

But he used pepper spray. Good thing he violated the school’s “no weapons” policy.

Seattle shooter disarmed during re-load

Unpossibly, nutjob violates weapons policy and starts shooting people. Went to re-load the shotty and was pounced on by others. I only wonder why those tackling him didn’t beat him to death.
