Not supporting those working against civil rights: Republicans and the “No Guns” Union League Club Chicago
The Illinois Republican Party is hosting a fundraising event featuring Gov. Bobby Jindal at the Union League Club in Chicago on February 25, 2014.
Tickets are $150 each, or tables for $1500 per.
There’s a private reception for those making bigger dollar “donations”.
The only problem with all of this?
The event is being held at a “NO GUNS” location.
The Union League Club is posted “no guns” and when one of our members tried to discuss this with their manager, he was unwilling to even listen.

In More Thoughts About Buildings and Food. And Guns, Mr. Farago continues his “end of the world” contingency planning. Once again, RF states that he’d give his neighbors a crash course in defensive firearm skills—this time to secure the seventeen entry points to his manor. Assuming he can find enough neighbors willing to abandon their own homes and the contents therein to pull off his plan (not to mention feeding them), I find myself asking, “What are you thinking?”
Don’t get me wrong. May God bless his plan to repel hordes of smelly, unshaven mutant biker zombies with crooked teeth. But I’d like to offer an alternative scenario and still yet another more likely scenario.
Choirboys IV: Deonta Mackey’s apples didn’t fall far from the tree
Deonta Dwight Mackey CITGO gas station shooting off duty Chicago cop.
Just days ago, a Cook County Sheriff’s Deputy Sergeant was gassing up his car in Chicago when three young choirboys showed up on the scene. One, Deonta Mackey, age 16, pointed a gun at the police officer and demanded his money and his valuables. Another punk moved to flank the cop and serve as a lookout while a third went to the passenger side of the car and started rifling through the car looking for valuables that didn’t belong to him.
The deputy pulled his gun and shot Deonta in the brain housing group, causing him to fall to the ground while Deonta’s two accomplices suffered sudden and acute bladder and bowel evacuation as they exfiltrated the area.
Ninth Circuit rules “good cause” for CCW unconstitutional
This just in.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that California local officials that require “good cause” to apply for a carry permit is unconstitutional.
The court, according to the initial analysis we’ve seen wrote that states may strictly regulate or ban open carry or concealed carry, but not both.
The case is Peruta v. San Diego.

Freedom Ride: 1st annual Chris Kyle Memorial Rodeo… even in death, Chris Kyle is saving lives
Chris Kyle.
Here’s something to buoy your day.
A report on the first annual Chris Kyle memorial rodeo held in, of all places, Texas.
Yeah, hard to believe, right?
They do it right in Texas, raising money to help Base Camp 40, a charity that provides struggling veterans a day in the Colorado wilderness and plenty of 5 point bucks to hunt.
Sort of like the local charity here in central Illinois that Guns Save Life sponsored last fall. The local group, Sugar Creek HOOAH Deer Hunt for Heroes, offers wounded veterans recovering from their physical or psychological injuries a chance to experience hunting and the great outdoors in a therapeutic environment.
The best part? The Chris Kyle memorial people aren’t raising money for Wounded Warriors Project, the &
NAACP hosts Eric Holder advocate civil rights restoration for felons. What about guns, Eric?
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People hosted Eric Holder in recent days to give a speech on restoring the voting rights of felons once they are released from custody.
We asked recently if the NAACP was becoming the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Perps after their chapter in the Northeast U.S. came out supporting Massachusetts State Representative facing expulsion from his elected office. Then-Rep. Carlos Henriquez was convicted of beating his girlfriend for not giving him the sex he wanted. She was a college student who met the good Carlos, son of Obama’s Assistant Secretary of something or another Sandra Henriquez. The overwhelmingly Democrat-majority Massachusetts House expelled Henriquez – with only five voting to retain the scoundrel.
The New England Area Chapter
NAACP follow up on Henriquez: Beating your girlfriend is like jaywalking…
Simply nauseating.
The NAACP bending into pretzels to explain its support for a now-former Massachusetts State Representative Carlos Henriquez – a strong supporter of gun control – who was expelled from his post for beating a college girl he was sleeping with because she wouldn’t have sex with him.
Why?
Because he’s black.
The NAACP boss compared Henriquez’s domestic violence crime with jaywalking.
Is it time to re-brand the NAACP as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Perps? Hopefully not.
(National Review) – Massachusetts state representative Carloz Henriquez was convicted last Wednesday of assaulting a woman who refused to have sex with him and was sentenced to six months in prison. Following his conviction, the president of the New England Area Chapter (NEAC) of the NAACP, Juan Cofield, jumped to Hen

My name is Donnie Pridemore. I am a Detective Lieutenant for an Illinois police department. I have collateral assignments as a long time police firearms instructor, and tactical team assistant team leader for a bi-state, multi-jurisdictional tactical team that operates in both Iowa and Illinois. On the weekends, I am an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor and Illinois Concealed Carry Instructor. I teach classes most weekends and sometimes during the week. I am obviously very pro-second amendment, and conservative in political views.
Today, when I came to work I noticed one of my officers had a copy of your January 2014 issue of GunNews. I had not heard of your publication before, and began reading through it. I was very pleased with what I found in your publication. That is, until I got to page 23. At the top of the page is an article titled “Don’t be a dummy! Say “No!” t
Washington DC Gun Laws: Jail time over dud shotshell
How far above and beyond the call of brains are gun haters willing to go in the name of “reasonable” gun restrictions?
Well, as they are control freaks as much as they are zealots, one could safely say “pretty far” above and beyond.
Well into the range of ludicrous as is the case in Washington, D.C. The utopia where gun control advocates have tried all their tricks to leave the good guys utterly disarmed, with Draconian penalties that boggle the mind.
How bad is it?
Bad enough that if you have a dud shotgun shell in your house, you’re looking at jail time. And the D.C. police will break your door down to come find it if they’ve got a hot tip that you’re in violation of the District’s gun laws.
As one D.C. resident found out.
OUTRAGEOUS: DC Man Set for Hearing After Arrest Over Inoperable Shotgun ShellOBAMA WORLD: Ohio National Guard denies training against 2nd Amendment activist “threat”
Last January, at the height of the Sandy Hook hysteria, the Ohio National Guard held a training exercise.
The “bad guys”?
Strict Constructionist Constitutional supporters of the Second Amendment. (Keep in mind that link is to the left-of-center Wiki).
When pressed about the scenario involving Second Amendment supporters by a reporter representing Media Trackers, Ohio National Guard Communications Director James Sims II hung up after claiming the Second Amendment scenario didn’t really portray gun rights activists as bad guys.
Oh really?
APOPLECTIC: NY State gun-haters upset over new NY SAFE Act-legal AR-15
America’s favorite rifle is America’s favorite rifle.
Anti-gun politicians, including New York State’s Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, think they can wave a magic wand and the marketplace will respect their arbitrary and capricious edicts without adapting?
These gun haters are about as smart as a gun.
Or a hammer.
Or a club.
Introducing the New York “SAFE Act”-legal AR-15.
It’s got anti-gunners seething with anger.
Clash Daily has the story:
HISSY FIT: The New AR-15 Design is Compliant with “SAFE Act” and Has Gun Control Activists Pouting(Clash Daily) – Prototypes for the newly designed AR-15 are hitting gun shops across New York, as gun shops and machinists have designed a rifle that complies with the anti-gun
Wendy Davis: Back-pedalling from her new-found love of guns
Wendy Davis, darling of the far-left wing of the Democrat Party in Texas, has in recent days – as her campaign for governor crumbled around her thanks to her discredited lies – discovered her new-found interest in supporting Texans’ right to open carry.
Yeah, we chuckled too.
We were amused – and then bemused – at her sudden change of heart on guns. After all, she is an NRA F-rated candidate and you have to work to earn that failing grade from the NRA.
Unfortunately for poor Wendy, her crass pandering…
yes, pandering:

We’ve been getting “concerned” emails of late about rumors of a new gun registration bill in the Illinois House.
It’s true. There is such a bill. Representative Kelly M. Cassidy (D-Moonbatteryland) has introduced House Bill 4715 – a firearm registration bill.
Here’s the summary:
Creates the Firearms Registration Act. Provides that every person in the State must register each firearm he or she owns or possesses in accordance with the Act. Provides that a person shall not purchase or possess ammunition within this State without having first obtained a registration certificate identifying a firearm that is suitable for use with that ammunition, or a receipt demonstrating that the person has applied to register a suitable firearm under the Act and that the application is pending. Provides that the Department of State Police must complete a background check of any person who applies for: (1) a registration certificate for a firearm that was lawfully owned or possessed on the effective date of the Act, was brought into the State by a new resident, or was acquired by operation of
Mayors Against Illegal Guns suffers 15% membership drop
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns has suffered a 15% drop in membership since the Newtown tragedy, losing 161 members in that time.
The losses stem from both members who felt misled as to the group’s goals to members expelled because of criminal misdeeds.
Meanwhile, the NRA has grown from 3+ million before Newtown to over 5 million today.
As it has broadened its attacks on lawmakers and Second Amendment groups like the National Rifle Association, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s aggressive “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” group has experienced a sharp 15-percent drop in mayor-members.
According to a new count, the group’s membership has gone from a high of 1,046 following the shootings at Newtown, Conn.’s Sandy Hook Elementary
Remington R51: Avoid the hype and take a pass
The new Remington R51 pistol is actually getting more digital and dead tree ink than the new G2 Research RIP 9mm round, if that’s actually possible.
We saw how the hype is just that with the new R.I.P. round and it looks as though an unbiased look at the R51 by Nick Leghorn over at The Truth About Guns reveals some profound problems with Remington’s new pistola.
Overall Rating: * *
It’s a great concept, but there are serious design flaws that shouldn’t be acceptable in a modern firearm. For a gun that’s being marketed to new shooters and people with a freshly-printed concealed carry license, it’s way too easy to re-assemble the gun incorrectly. And the painful shooting experience will keep people from putting much time into practicing with the gun.
If you’re thinking of buying one for carry, here a

Perusing IllinoisCarry this morning and saw a post that gave me pause.
ajg2014 Posted 07 February 2014 – 08:03 PM
A week after taking his IL and FL CCW class, I had a situation that I never expected to have. At 7:30 in the morning someone started knocking at my door. The knocks turned into bangs and my wife and children were all scared. I decided that I needed to to do something. I grabbed my gun and loaded a magazine, chambered a round and holstered it. I then went outside to confront this guy. A few weeks ago, I would have been nervous and unsure of myself. I now had a clear understanding of what I needed to do and what I might have to do if things got ugly. I walked outside and drew my weapon and was ready. It’s amazing how things change quickly when you’re looking down the barrel
