Mentioned the kerfuffle about Outdoor Wire and the blogosphere. Curt gives props to how Jim resolved the incident.

Tam seems, err, unimpressed.

I’d be curious to see the holster too.

I know, they’re actually talking about prisons but it sorta fits the rest of the state too.

In Knoxville, people seem to forget that trying to burst into someone’s home is a good way to have your insides introduced to the light of day.

Gun sales and concealed carry up. I kinda thought there was a lull in gun sales lately.

Nut job in PA opens fire at a health club. On the local talk radio this morning, they were reading excerpts from this guy’s blog where he had been planning this for over a year. He was angry over not having a girlfriend since the 1980s.

You usually don’t have to say that. Because we can tell. After all, under no AWB were Rugi Mini 14, Mossburg ATA 100 .270 caliber rifle, Llama Commanche III .357 revolver, Ruger Mini 30, and Saiga (though the non expert calls it a SAGA) classified as weapons that look like assault weapons. The Century rifles probably weren’t either since they tend to ship with fixed stocks and muzzle brakes.

Feds look to regulate texting while driving and caffeinated alcoholic drinks.

Zogby/O’Leary Poll:

An overwhelming majority of Americans (83 percent) support concealed-carry laws, while only 11 percent oppose them. A majority of Independent voters (86 percent), Democrats (80 percent), young voters age 18-29 (83 percent), Hispanic voters (80 percent), and those who voted for President Obama (80 percent) support the right to carry a firearm.

Emphasis added because I’m glad younger people are getting it.

Suit underway regarding their firearms freedom act, which snubs the federal government.

Mentioned yesterday how the blogosphere was blamed for internet rumors even though no bloggers I know of had mentioned the rumor. Well, Steve reports a retraction:

Having heard from a couple of bloggers yesterday, I am going to plead guilty to an inexact application of the word “blogosphere”. Some of the very people I’ve characterized as the future of communications feel – justifiably – that I’ve tossed them under the proverbial bus recently.

That’s not the case. What I have done is use a term of art (blogosphere) as shorthand for all the myriad of internet communications. When I received nearly 100 emails and forwards of excerpts of a single report – and dozens of associated rumors- regarding Daniel Defense, I wrote that the “blogosphere was roiling”. A more accurate depiction would have been “rumors have been flying regarding Daniel Defense across the internet”. It was an unintentional shot at a group of individuals who I really do regard as integral parts of information distribution.

Hats off to Jim Shepherd for the correction.

Tennessee had an illegal drug tax. And it kept getting struck down. Now, there is a class action lawsuit to recover payment of the illegal drug tax.

David Hardy:

it was an NFA prosecution, where the defense launched a HARD attack on the messed up nature of the government’s NFA firearm files, including calling a very well qualified expert to testify to the unreliability of files with such flaws.

Not the first time we’ve heard of problems with the NFRTR.

Expanding the list of prohibited persons.

I thought rocket launchers and grenades were being smuggled from US gun shows to Mexico. But ATF has other worries:

ATF worries about cartel grenades coming into US

It was a scenario U.S. law enforcement had long feared: A fragmentation grenade from Mexico’s bloody drug war tossed into a public place.

Only the grenade thrower’s bumbling prevented bloodshed in a south Texas bar — he neglected to pull a second safety clasp. But the act was proof that one of the deadliest weapons in Mexico’s drug battle is a real threat to the U.S., and investigators are stepping up efforts to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Panel in Knoxville recommends banning guns in parks (note: guns are likely already banned there). And it’s an election year.

Get more people shooting! Range report with pics.

Headline: Palin Sighted at Gun Show

But: The former vice presidential candidate, who resigned as governor on July 26, gave a speech Saturday night at the Anchorage banquet which capped a four-day National Rifle Association seminar.

A banquet is a gun show?

Aunt B.:

And so, in the new tradition of newspaper folks, I immediately contacted the AP and asked them to sue him for using my joke to amuse his reader!

Actually, you should send him a bill.

Via Michael, comes this:

An improper vehicle search by police, along with missing evidence, has led to the dismissal of charges against alleged red-light shooter Clifford E. Clark III.

Charges of felony vandalism and reckless endangerment were dismissed in a written order issued Friday by Criminal Court Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz.

The circumstances surrounding Clark’s arrest as a suspect were not sufficient for the arresting officers to search his vehicle without a warrant, the judge ruled.
