What this means to me is that coming out of the closet, taking non-shooting friends to the range, and showing that gun culture is for normal people and not their stereotype of red-necked, knuckle dragging Neanderthals is essential for the long term survival of the right to keep and bear arms.
Like Sebastian, I believe you must be careful about comparing anyone who disagrees with you to the KKK. On the other hand, I do believe the cultural divide between gun owners and non-owners is the number one reason for the support of gun control. The number two reason, of course, is the erroneous idea that gun somehow control lowers crime.
The basis for the second reason is dying out quickly. People simply don't believe that gun control is an effective tool at stopping crime.
Anti-gun bigotry comes in two forms. The first is nasty elitist who, when confronted, will stick his fingers in his ears and scream "LALALAICANTHEARYOU" at the top of his lungs. There are maybe a handful of ...
I hear that many Up-Northers have been buried alive in this strange white precipitation. Their efforts to extricate themselves have ultimately failed, since it is still coming down and shows no signs of stopping.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my sympathy before I head over to Clearwater Beach for some lunch and sunshine.
The WVCDL has announced the pro-gun bills that have been introduced in the legislature for this session.
The first of these bills is HB4265. This bill prohibits the taking of lawfully possessed arms and ammunition during a declared state of emergency or riot. Hurricane Katrina anyone?
This is a no-brainer. It has been passed in a number of other states. While WV has not experienced many natural disasters, this is a good law to check the power of local would-be tyrants. Of course, the chance of gun confiscation happening in WV is basically nil because not even the police would go along with it.
The second, HB4280, is a massive hunting law cleanup bill. This bill cleans up the confusion built into our current state code regarding a firearm carried for self defense, and one carried for hunting.
This is a much-needed reform. WV generally has good (lack of) gun laws, but the hunting regulations confuse lawful self defense and poaching. In addition, the hunting regs (with regard to when/where you may have ...
A guy in WV is making some pretty cool gun cases. The artist's email address is listed on the page. He'll do custom work (corporate logos, etc.)
Also, I have to point it out again: WV Metro News is the the kind of gun-friendly news outlet we need more of. Look at the beautiful way they depict that AR-15 rifle. It is almost like they are mainstream, and er... "in common use" or something.

A paper based on little more than a Google search should not be used against decades of detailed, disciplined scholarly work by some of the Nation's leading legal historians.
Wait, you mean the adversaries of the second and fourteenth amendments rely on research papers that could be written by a moderately clever monkey with a computer?
Under the direction of WVCDL's new president, there will be an Open Carry dinner on March 27th at Harding's Family Restaurant. Harding's is located right off of I-79, on Pennsylvania Ave just north of Charleston.
If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Keith Morgan.
Rules: Openly carry your gun (which is legal in WV) or carry it concealed pursuant to your WV concealed weapon permit. No firearms are to leave their holster during the event. Media may be present, so dress nice, and behave.
Go read this reply brief. Even if you haven't read the previous briefs in this case, you'll no doubt realize that Alan Gura deals a righteous and devastating smackdown (and fisking) to the forces of evil in Chicago.
Even if you aren't a legal geek, this one is worth reading.
Like many people, I prefer to know where my food comes from. I love fresh food that is locally and organically grown. I like knowing whether or not the meat I'm eating is pumped full of hormones and drugs and preservatives. I like shaking hands with the farmer who raised my meat before shaking hands with the butcher who cuts it up for me. I like cooking meat that was walking around less than an hour ago.
Now, these nutjobs who are attacking Marco Rubio are RAGING IDIOTS because they have a problem with slaughtering animals in places that are not "USDA approved slaughter farm(s)".
I have a two words for those people: STAY OUT OF MY GODDAMN PANTRY YOU NO-GOOD, TREE HUGGING COMMUNISTS. Ok, that was more than two words... I do not, repeat DO NOT, require a government stamp of approval on my meat. In fact, I'll tell you honestly that I'm less inclined to trust government OK'd meat, especially when the alternative is locally ...
FYI, AIM Surplus is good stuff. I bought a rifle from them about a year ago, and it was better than I expected. I bought ammo from them during the great post-election ammo shortage of 2009, and it arrived on time.
Today, I was having an issue with their new and improved website, so I sent an email to customer service. They replied in exactly 5 minutes.

For the last 3 years, it has been my privilege to serve you as the founder and President of the West Virginia Citizens Defense League, West Virginia’s only active, independent, state-based gun rights advocacy organization. Tonight, I wish to share with you some news about my future and that of WVCDL.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will step aside as your President and hand the reigns of leading WVCDL to our current Vice President, Keith Morgan. This is an event that, for a variety of reasons, I have planned since WVCDL’s inception.
First, at the time I founded WVCDL, I was a somewhat busy first-year law student who saw the desperate need for an organization such as WVCDL in West Virginia. I had obtained my first concealed handgun license in 2005 and immersed myself in the study of gun laws. Although West Virginia was and is one of the more gun-owner-friendly states in the Union, I found much upon which we needed ...
President Obama will be visiting Tampa later this week for a townhall meeting, probably to announce a whole lot of your money is going to be spent on a high speed railway that nobody here wants.
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor announced this meeting earlier today stating, "doors will open at 11:30." It was reported that she smirked a little when she mentioned the doors opening. She then gave a knowing look to a couple of large men wearing SEIU shirts.
Former NRA president and Florida gun rights lobbyist Marion Hammer supposedly quipped something to the effect of: "it would be easier to change the law, rather than sue."
This is with regard to the current legislation being considered in Florida that will make it illegal for an adoption agency to ask if you have guns in your home. Apparently, a couple who wanted to adopt a baby, and were rather put off when the agency asked if they had guns in their home. They called their lawyer who called Marion Hammer who started the ball rolling on this new legislation.
Now if we could just undo that ridiculous state constitutional amendment requiring a 3-day waiting period on guns. Or maybe get open carry.
I somehow doubt either of those are top priority right now.
The Brady Campaign is stomping its feet and pouting because the President didn't take time out of his busy schedule to join with the ranks of a bunch of politically irrelevant fucktards.
Gun control is a politically radioactive topic. No amount of crying by Paul Helmke is going to change that.
What I find funny is the Brady Campaign would only do something like giving Obama an "F" grade because they think it might encourage some of their voting block into action. Unfortunately, the Brady Campaign voting block consists of the employees of the Brady Campaign and a few bored housewives. Compare that to the NRA, whose voting block extends far beyond even the millions of citizens who pay to be members.
Jon Gutmacher, author of the must-own book "Florida Firearms -- Law, Use & Ownership", discusses the immunity provisions in Chapter 776 of FL Statutes.
Even though the rule seems to be stated clearly, any dispute over the facts means you'll have to prove your innocence anyway.
The statute:
A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if:
(a) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle...
The law was intended to give a Florida homeowner immunity from prosecution in the event that he defends himself within his own home. In reality, if either the intruder lies to police (assuming they are alive) or the police see any evidence that your story isn't 100% accurate, you will be ...
