I recently blogged the Chicago machine’s attempts to maintain Cook County as a “gun free” zone. TTAG’s Armed Intelligentsia are well aware that Windy City politicians’ ongoing efforts to keep law-abiding citizens disarmed is part and parcel of their perfidious policies and criminal corruption. In the “debate” over concealed carry, both pro and anti cite the city’s sky-high homicide rate. Last year, Chicago was home to 500 homicides. This year is set to outpace last. Here’s what doesn’t get a look-in: all the other crimes enabled by Chicago Democrats’ love of civilian disarmament. The image above [via the Chicago Tribune’s most excellent interactive crime stats widget] represents one month’s worth of crime data for Englewood and surrounding neighborhoods. Time to tool-up, no matter what the crooks say, or how many times local ignorami vote them into office.
Have fun Nick pls interview Wayne Laphierre Cam Edwards and David Keene. And the BIG one Ted Cruz there Nick!!
You realize that the concept of a safety-off double action also describes many auto pistols too…right? 🙂 The limp wrist point for follow up shots I can see…but the safety thing: all my pistols are double action designed to be stored/carried safety off & round chambered with the long trigger pull as the safety (similar to a revolver)……yet all of them are autos.
The concealed carry part is not thought out at all. Thinking about what weapon is best for someone with zero training/understanding that wants to concealed carry is…well…can we see the problem with that? Anyone that decides they can concealed carry can train. The scenario of an untrained person in the home grabbing a pistol that she previously hated made sense…but if she’s later decided it’s ok to carry a concealed pistol then she’s also decided it’s ok to get trained.
Says right in the CDNN flyer that these are for display only and should not be fired. Might be worth mentioning.
The overall murder rate is down year over year in Chicago. Rahm and the Chief of Police keep harping on that fact. Yet, comparatively year over year, Chicago has seen vastly different weather. 2012 had a very mild winter and several days in March where the temp was above 80 degrees. This year, winter pretty much seemed to end Monday. Yesterday was the first truly warm, 80 degree plus day so far this year. And, of course, gang bangers took advantage, with 3 gun murders and 17 injuries last night alone.
I’ll Be there!
No post again. All right.
I have all the glass I need and my illuminatedFirefly V-X is WAY cheaper
Billy had an underslung Mossberg 500, not a Remington 870. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Predator
I just finished listening to the Rabbi speak at the hearing, and he did a great job even though he was only allowed 90 seconds. The top COMMIES in our silly lil state have the votes in the bag and they will screw us real good this time around.
Why not a ring with a dot in the center?
18hr drive so still considering.
the areana have “No concealed weapons allowed” as St Louis BS last year?
For some places, there’s a ‘make your own’ possibly covering where you live: http://www.crimemapping.com/map.aspx
Or you can always use spotcrime. It tends to be pretty good.
90 seconds? Sure there are a lot of people trying to testify, but I think the legislators could do a better job of at least pretending to listen. I know their minds are already made up, but still, these procedures were put in place for a reason, to give the aura of a democratic process unsullied by political considerations.
I have a feeling that the great state of Texas is going to see a large immigration of gun owners from states passing these idiotic gun laws that prove null in preventing mass shootings. While California is at it, why don’t they take away driving privileges from everyone who has ever been treated for a drug or alcohol addiction? After all, if there is the slightest chance a veteran with PTSD might injure someone with a firearm, isn’t there also a chance (much larger actually) that someone with a history of drug or alcohol problems might injure or kill someone with their vehicle?
FYI the bad guy was caught, I talked to a cop in my neighborhood and the shotgun was unloaded- from the NOPD press release of 5/1/13
May 01, 2013)- Today, NOPD Eighth district detectives arrested a 16-year-old boy for three separate armed robberies in the Marigny. He used a shotgun in all 3 cases. The teenager contacted 8th District detectives this afternoon and turned himself in with his family and attorney present.
Detectives say the teen first struck on Friday, April 26, at or about 12:30am in the 800 block of Touro Street. In that incident the victim was walking when he was approached by the 16-year-old suspect and another young male. One of the subjects pointed a shotgun at the victim and demanded his property. The suspects struck the victim three times. The victim fled the scene without relinquishing his property and sustained minor injuries.
On Saturday, 4/27/13 at or about 5:05am, detectives say the teenager and an accomplice approached a victim who was walking in the 1900 block of Burgundy Street, pointed a shotgun at the victim’s face and stated: “Give me your money”. The victim disarmed the gunman and then chased him. Moments later, the victim was approached by the two suspects again, who were in a black four door sedan. The driver of the vehicle said to the victim “Give me my gun back and I’ll give you your phone that you dropped”. The victim then used the shotgun to strike the rear windshield of the vehicle causing it to break. The two suspects then fled on Frenchmen to St. Claude and then unknown.
The detectives began a follow up investigation and discovered the 16-year-old’s family member reported vehicle damage to the New Orleans Police Department under false circumstances which was consistent with the damage reported in the armed robbery that happened on Burgundy; this led the detectives to develop a suspect of the crime.
Today a couple who saw the video footage of the incident on television came to the 8th District Police station and reported that they, too, were victims of an armed robbery by the same suspect seen in the video. They told detectives the teenager pointed the shotgun at them on Saturday 4-27-2013 in the 800 block of Frenchmen Street, and demanded their property. The victims stated the perpetrator took cash and other property and fled.
The detectives then prepared a photographic line-up of the suspect and he was positively identified as the perpetrator.
RF, how could you NOT cite heyjackass.com? W.H. Thompson is always posting it on here, along with very well thought out arguments that show how gun control do not reduce violence. Now it has become the first website I use when arguing that point.
I just got my CCW about two months ago here in Missouri and wondered why the hell they scanned all my documents at the DOR. Now I know.
What a dick.
I know who just became my number one target come election time.
Mike, obviously your a big fan of GovCo. While you are right about the laws in a technical sense, you are totally missing the point. The Supreme Court didn’t write the Bill of Rights. “Interpretation” of the ammendments is how the current government bends and breaks the original laws. I’m assuming if the Executive Branch wrote a law that revoked the citizenship of all the residents of Kansas (or worse) and the Congress ratified it, and the Supremes didn’t step in, you would call that Constitutional. The People of the US decide what is constitutional. The power is with the People and will always be, even though there will be ambitious leaders from time to time who try to consolidate that power for themselves and their party. That is the whole point of the 2nd Ammendment and why the FREE States are standing up to the over reaching Federal Government right now. An unchecked government will be just that. The last vote on Gun Control shows where the power currently resides in this country.
abortion protestors have been picketing with dead baby pictures for decades.
If they could not convince 60 senators to vote for
puppiesbackground checks, i think their influence is limited. This is not the most important issue in the country right now. Theyare starting to look out of touch.The more people that own guns the better off we are. At this point guns are so commonplace that attempting an outright ban would have the same results as attempting to ban cars.
I don’t care about your religion or your sex life or your race. I want your support in our fight to keep our guns. After all, the constituion has that little line in it, “All men are created equal.” The 2a is the most important amendment to me, but I support the entire document.
Welcome Susan!
For those carping about voting, a reminder from wiki
On July 1, 2004, Romney signed a permanent state ban on assault weapons, saying at the signing ceremony for the new law, “Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
Armed intelligentsia had no real choices in last election. (and no,I didn’t vote for BHO)
Too expensive, would never buy it, don’t care.
I’m willing to bet the people with enough grub to buy them are older folk and probably won’t like this feature at all.
