Add that to the list of amazing horsefeathers from our friend Ms. Peters that I wished I'd had time to address. Arguing is easy when you don't need to be bothered with the facts! :D Never mind that almost every third world army and militia and band of armed men she's worried about carries the...

Yeah, AJ has plenty of conspiratorial shenanigans on their site, but that just means it's just like half the other "news" sites out there...it ain't like what's on CNN.com or MSNBC.com or FoxNews.com is all that much less ridiculous half the time ;). I really doubt the USSS and DHS is going to...

Ha! Thanks...though I just turned 33...not so young anymore :). I had just gotten the hair chopped off so you can't see the gray.

Well what do I know, apparently I just want to kill anyone I feel like shooting :):rolleyes:. That's one of the things that bothered me that I didn't get a chance to rebut--the idea that you can have a democracy where individuals can't defend themselves.

Thanks! I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be...once you get me rambling on this topic it comes pretty naturally. In a more open format where I could take notes and have a chance to rebut point by point I'd have destroyed her. I can't even begin to waste time at work today tabulating all...

Link. After the Heller case demonstrations on Tuesday, Henry from MSI received a call from Al Jazeera asking for someone to come on the air for a debate about the gun issue. I thought I was going to debate somebody from an Illinois handgun banning group, but in the AM the producers called...

No, but they did issue press releases and formal documents as though they were the ICHV organization itself. The simple act of registering the name isn't what got them in hot water (and even that seems pretty ticky-tack--ISRA probably needed better lawyers).

Watching this show on National Geo HD about a couple of CA bounty hunters...these guys are going around strapped with pistols, shotguns, rifles, in California no less. How hard is it to get a permit if you're a bounty hunter in CA? I wonder if "working" as a fugitive recovery agent is a...

Thanks Ben! My case puts the antis we used to spar with on DU in a bad spot--it shows them the harsh reality of what the "let's try to disarm everyone" policy ends up doing. Even with MD's super restrictive policies, you can't ever hope to get the bad guys to give up their guns, knives...

For those that are interested, I'll be on Cam Edwards show on NRAnews.com around 940pm tonight. We'll be talking about where the process stands. Should be interesting...

There's no statutory or de facto number of threats you need to demonstrate that I'm aware of. They've certainly not indicated that I haven't been threatened enough. I know of people who've only had one person threaten them and have gotten the permit. What's really at work here is their fear...

For those that are interested...the latest in my effort to get a permit for personal protection from the thugs, drug dealers, violent felons and others who've threatened to kill me. The short version--the state police said the one police report about the threat I received wasn't enough, and...

Ugh...they chopped it to nothin and really let the MSP get away with a big ole fib...but that's the media for ya.

Purely selfish question: I wonder if this will make them acquiesce and just grant the permit...or if it'll make them dig in their heels. My guess is the latter, so from a selfish point of view I would have rather just kept mum about all this. But there's a larger principle at stake here...

Just got interviewed by the local WBFF Fox45 news channel. It'll be on TV tonight at 530 and 10pm they said...or maybe 6pm and 10pm. I'll be curious to see what MSP is willing to say on camera.
