Snowflakes in Hell

Apparently safe manufacuters are doing a brisk business.  You can add me to this surge in demand too, except mine won’t be used for storing cash.

Influence people against you, that is.  This shining example of assholery represents the sad state that the Pennsylvania open carry movement has fallen into:

I am so disgusted with gun-stupid people like Melodee Reeves and the likes that I could throw up!

This is something best left to be said on a pro-gun forum.  Not out in public as a Letter to the Editor.  You’ll never reach someone, or influence others by calling people “stupid.”

Not only did all the anti-gun letters published in this forum infuriate me

That’s great, but have you really spent so much time in the echo chambers on forums that you’re unaware that you’re dealing with a news outlet that publishes Letters to the Editor online?  I can promise you they published yours with glee.  Nothing helps the media paint gun owners as fools as gun owners themselves, more often than I think most of us would like!

Reeves: When you see me or Meleanie carrying open, you can breathe a sigh of relief that we are watching out for your safety as well as our own. Shame on you! Go take a firearms-safety course and learn to shoot. I dare you because I know you’ll like it!

Even if she does like it, I doubt she’s going to want to associate with a group of people who are going around suggesting that anyone who doesn’t like the idea of open carry is an idiot.  Carrying a firearm for self-protection is not for everyone.

This movement has drifted far from what it was originally starting out as.

The Firearms Blog weighs in with his choices.  RAH would appear to be our resident expert on the keeping and bearing of arms on the high seas, and on what will and won’t get you into trouble when you enter territorial waters or ports.  Avoidance seems to be the preferred method of dealing with pirates.  That’s pretty much the right strategy for any armed confrontation.  I like the idea of a fake RPG, but you’d be awfully screwed if the pirates produce something that looks similar, only isn’t fake.

ACORN offices in Nevada have been raided:

A Nevada Secretary of State’s office spokesman said yesterday investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the group’s headquarters.

No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.

Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh said ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.

Good.  Other states need to find out what this group is up to.  ACORN itself says they are not engaged in any funny business.  Well, a judge thought there was probable cause enough to approve a search warrant.  So we shall see.

Traction Control has it.  I hope everyone out at GBR III is having a good time.
