    Wal-Mart fires employees for disarming gunman. Tell them no!

    http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=14319284 This is ridiculous. The policy forbids employees to endanger themselves to protect merchandise. In this case, however, they were clearly fighting for their lives. Shut down their switchboard! Call the Layton, UT store at (801) 546-1992 and ask for...

    Be a sheepdog!

    I've always wanted some low-key way for permit holders to identify each others. And I'm a big fan of David Grossman's "On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs" essay. So when I found these, I ordered four dozen, announced them on the local TwinCitiesCarry.com forum, and they sold out in a day! Would...

    ...and we can go shooting after work! :) We're looking for an HTML production person with a good eye for design. You should be good at HTML and CSS, have a clue about Javascript (or be willing to learn) and have the ability to make non-ugly web designs. No, there's nothing gun-related...

    Wisconsin Carry Permit Poll

    http://www.wisinfo.com/journal/ The poll is halfway down on the right. "Do you support the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons?" Do your thing. :)

    Paper folded to look like gun gets three students suspended

    The amazing thing is not that they were suspended, but that someone eventually came to his senses and overruled that zero-tolerance punishment. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=state&id=3552840

    Inspectors say IRA weapons are 'permanently unusable'

    Well, until they got to the Semtex, they could have been talking about Pax's collection... :)

    MN: New nonprofit train-the-trainer organization

    As some may know, the Minnesota Legislature, in reinstating the 2003 Minnesota Personal Protection Act, made a few changes. As a result of this change, some NRA instructors may not be certified to teach carry classes after September 30. A couple of NRA instructors and I decided to do...

    Cops in New Orleans: "Give up your guns -- we need them!"

    From the AP: http://www.startribune.com/stories/484/5588513.html :confused: I'm guessing it has more to do with not trusting armed evacuees to show good judgement when penned up like cattle.

    MN: Support the Rep who supported YOU (and it's free)

    Minnesota carry permit holders, gun owners and freedom lovers: Representative Larry Howes sponsored the MCPPA restoration bill in the House last year, and he got it done. Now the antis have set their sights on him. We're not gonna let that happen, are we? The cool thing is this: a...

    MN: Activism mailing list

    If you're in or near Minnesota, and you haven't yet signed up for the TwinCitiesCarry.com activism mailing list, please do. There are issues afoot (especially instructor certification) that badly need our support, and CCRN seems uninterested in helping. Please sign up...

    Red Lake reactions were 'by the book'

    http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5575875.html The school acts in loco parentis during the school day. Well, this parent would kill or die defending his kids. It is disappointing in the extreme that less is expected of teachers and staff.

    Cleaning up pepper spray

    I had a 4-oz can of pepper spray, in a Rip-Off belt pouch, in a lidded compartment in the center console of my car, along with a lot of other "stuff" -- napkins, plastic cel phone belt clip, box of Cor-Bon ammo, etc. I was putting something else in and kind of shoved everything to the back...

    MN: Buck's Unpainted Furniture posted

    First the short version: They're posted, even after a polite letter. If you want to let them know what you think of that, you could email co-owner JACKIE BUCK at [email protected], or call THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE AT 952-881-3945 [Thanks, ChillyW!] The long version: I thought...

    Lessons From Red Lake Shooting Could Help Schools In Vermont

    http://www.caledonianrecord.com/pages/local_news/story/8104d0385 Jeez. Seems pretty useless to me. Red Lake ran SIMULATION DRILLS where the unarmed security guard was shot. And they learned nothing from that? Six minutes is an eternity when you have a deranged gunman in the building...

    The problem is "gun-gang" violence

    This opinion piece appeared in today's Star Tribune. Huh. We had a pretty good "gun gang" at the range Sunday, and no one got hurt. We must be doing it wrong. Or could it be that the problem is criminal gangs?

    New Minnesota carry forum

    Things are heating up around Minnesota carry issues. The Department of Public Safety is crafting some reasonable -- or maybe not-so-reasonable -- requirements for instructors. The best source for current information about these type of issues has for a long time been our local gun law guru...

    Plus-P in my Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro?

    The manual that came with my Taurus says: Whuh? My Ruger P95 manual, on the other hand, says this: Are they being overly cautious? Or should I avoid high-pressure ammo?

    Massive Ayoob

    I'm not here to debate Ayoob's qualifications -- judge for yourself. But if you want to read what he's written, I found a site with over 600 of his articles, from Guns Magazine, American Handgunner and Shooting Industry, going back to 1993. Enjoy...

    Better late than never: Red Lake schools get armed guards

    For those who may have forgotten, 16-year old Jeffrey Weise killed his policeman grandpa and grandpa's girlfriend, stole grandpa's police guns, drove grandpa's police truck to his high school, killed the unarmed security guard manning the metal detector, then went in and killed seven more...
