Good guy with a gun
I’ve seen security kick plenty of people out of bars. They sometimes come back wanting to start something with security. In this case, one shot at security from outside who returned fire and apprehended one of them and held him at gunpoint for authorities. A police officer who showed up killed the security guard. When […]

Georgia Campus Carry Year One
AJC TL;DR: 27 violations; no shootings. Basically, the AJC says that some students seem to have some issues understanding this pretty complicated law and run into situations where they are in violation.

He said African Americans, but if I recall my history correctly there were a Caucasian Americans there who were also assaulted. Perhaps armed marchers might not have been […]

Trayvon
At around 16-17 years old I did not have a car. So I rode my bike or walked anywhere I wanted to go.

NRA Poll
The National Rifle Association needs better pollsters. It might help to keep off the list people who are going to analyze your question for how it might be used and provide an answer just to be contrarian. An “Andy Bush” (I think that was the name) asked in a phone poll: Do you think 3rd world […]
