This seems like a big deal.

Today was an exciting day to be visited by the Big Brown Truck of Happiness.

I received my suppressor back from Gem-Tech, however it now looks like they’re no longer doing the I.O.U. Glad I did it when I did. It’s fun being able to take it apart.

And the awesome folks at LuckyGunner sent me some cool whisky glasses from BenShot for Christmas.

* see what I did there.

One is a firearm, one is an NFA item, and one is an AOW. And, no, I don’t know which.

At least in Missouri, or so a court has ruled:

A recent Missouri Court of Appeals decision has clarified the law, saying it is not a criminal offense to carry a firearm into the airport or through airport security if you are a concealed carry permit holder.

“It clearly says now from the court of appeals if you carry a firearm into Lambert, you can be asked to leave, possibly subject to a fine, but you can’t be arrested and charged for unlawful use of a weapon if you are a conceal carry permit holder,” said Matt Fry, Partner at Rosenblum and Fry.

Bob Owens:

If I have not miscounted along the way (and it is possible that I may have done just that by one or two or three), Everytown has claimed a grand total of 203 school shootings since Sandy Hook.

Of those, 75 seem to meet a generous definition of that term, which includes on campus student housing (the dorm rule), even well after hours and on weekends and even when students arent involved).

Of those 203 school shootings, only 44 meet the common perception of a school shooting, where someone came to a school campus to shoot faculty, staff, or students.

If their cause is so righteous, why do they have to lie?

Russia’s ambassador to Turkey was assassinated. It appears the killer was part of the security detail.

Three shot and wounded near an Islamic center in Zurich.

At least 9 dead after a truck plows into a Christmas market in Berlin. Reports are that ISIS is taking credit.

Interesting times. Do you want World War? Because this is how you get World War.

Oh, nevermind. Sex shop workers pelt armed robbers with sex toys.

Almost every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did 8 years ago.

Also from Ruger, a GP100 in .44 Special.

And from Smith and Wesson, comes the M&P M2.0. A fancier looking version with stipling and more grip options. And a new trigger.

Here’s a 1911 that shoots shotgun shells:

A 3 judge panel has ruled that it’s OK to violate your constitutional rights as long as it’s just for a little while. The rule they upheld is the 10 day waiting period, you know so you can cool off.

Here’s hoping Trump actually makes good on his promise to appoint pro gun judges, especially to the supreme court since cases like this may go there.

Freedom Caucus chair gives Trump 232 regulations to repeal.

If I was president, anything that was not a law passed by congress would be repealed. Every executive order and every regulation passed by non-elected bureaucrats. If you want something to be law, then pass a damn law. And if they actually pass the laws, they can be held accountable at the ballot box.

In Canada, there’s a proposal to make pepper spray legal. So people can protect themselves. This sounds reasonable to any sane person. However, if you’re insane or a feminist (but I repeat myself), this doesn’t address the problem, which is men:

Her misguided approach places the onus on women to defend themselves rather than focusing on addressing and preventing gender-based violence.

And she’s offended. What an idiot.

The University of Virginia is building a firing range. It’s a trend.

Update: Nevermind. I misread it.

That’s pretty bad ass.

When they try to secede and form The Democratic Peoples Republic of Californioregonistan, it will be dildos versus rifles. But that’s none of my business.

So reports John Richardson:

Smith & Wesson Holding Company (SWHC), the parent company of such brands as Smith & Wesson, Crimson Trace, and Battenfield Technologies, reported today that shareholders approved the requested corporate name change. Effective January 2017, the new holding company name will be American Outdoors Brand Corporation.

But that’s not racist:

Those of us who know our whites know one thing above all else: whiteness defends itself. Against change, against progress, against hope, against black dignity, against black lives, against reason, against truth, against facts, against native claims, against its own laws and customs.

And America is held hostage by flyover states

Much less playing with it. Some folks in Cleveland were laying with a loaded gun that they thought was unloaded. It ended tragically. And was broadcast live on facebook. Pointing it at one another, at themselves, in their mouths.

Here’s video leading up to the shooting:

The Lawsons, who were litigants in the McDonald v Chicago case which made it to the supreme court and was won by the good guys, have suffered a tragic fire. They could use your help if you’ve got a few bucks.

Heh

About what I’d expect. Except they get some things very wrong:

The next step apparently is a renewed effort to pass a constitutional carry law in Tennessee, which would eliminate the necessity of obtaining a permit to carry a gun, with its requirement that the permit holder must undergo training in how to handle deadly weapons.

There is no training required to get a permit. One must take a class that goes over self-defense law. And then one must qualify by scoring 70% at a generous target. No real requirement for training. And they add a bit of hysteria:

One can only imagine how many fender-benders, arguments over parking spots, domestic squabbles and the like will deliver a cascade of grief and regret to the families and friends of innocent victims.

The press said the same thing about carry permits and that didn’t manifest into reality.

Tam, on Lessons from ECQC:

For instance, since ECQC I’ve finally started practicing something I’d long preached and began carrying a can of Fox Labs OC around with me. It’s become more important to me to have a solid middle ground option between “harsh language” and “bust a cap in someone’s ass”.

I had kept a larger can in the truck. Now, I’ve ordered some in the handy keychain size. I’m gonna need more pockets.
