“Guns not allowed” signs make people less safe

Not just because they create “gun free” zones that can very easily become “free fire” zones.

But because they force people to handle their weapons in public and manipulating a weapon is much more dangerous than leaving it safely in its holster.

For example: this morning I needed to go into a bank that prohibits concealed carry. I was in a vehicle without a lockbox in and I had a passenger. Before I went into the bank, cialis canada treatment I had to draw my weapon, drop the magazine, and eject the round in the chamber. The entire exercise was carried out in the close confines of a vehicle with another person in the car. I left the unloaded weapon and took the rounds with me. When I returned to the car, I repeated the entire process in reverse order. Doing this in the bank’s parking lot was much less safe than it would have been if I had just left the gun in its holster, went into the bank, did my business and came back out.

I did all this as safely as I could – observing all the rules of safe gun handling – but it’s indisputable that the odds of the gun going off once I started manipulating it were higher than if I had just left it alone in its holster.

So by not allowing me to lawfully carry my weapon into their lobby, the bank actually increased the danger to themselves, their customers, and their neighbors.

But, as usual, I doubt logic had anything to do with the bank’s decision to post their sign.

There’s no such thing as a disarmed Marine

You know what I love most about the U.S. troops in Afghanistan being told to leave their guns outside Leon Panetta's tent when they met him?

It assumes a 20-year-old U.S. Marine would be completely incapable of killing a 74-year-old man with his bare hands.

When Wisconsin made it legal for me to carry a gun again

I decided I needed a new pistol.

In the end, tadalafil pills I opted for a Kimber Stainless Pro TLE II (LG) – a 1911-style .45 semi-automatic with integrated Crimson Trace Lasergrips.

Why did I pick it?

Well, cialis for one thing, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

For another, this is how I shoot with it (using iron sights only at about ten yards):

And lastly, I asked myself: would I want someone using laser sights and flinging .45 caliber chunks of lead at me?

When I answered, “hell no,” I knew I had found my gun.

I’ve been distressed for a long time that hypocrisy is no longer something to be ashamed of…

…but I never thought it would actually be represented as something you should be proud of:

Not the medicine Wisconsin needs

Falk says state needs to heal – JSOnline.

I think someone needs to explain to Ms. Falk that you don’t heal something by reopening old wounds.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says…

It’s time to stop the whining about who was most to blame; make a last-ditch effort to create a reasonable mining bill.

Then they spend the entire editorial blaming Scott Walker & the Republicans.
