Crossbow Gets Man In Trouble
I don’t know if this guy was a good guy or a bad guy, but I do know it’s not a good idea to point any weapon at anyone.
WILKES-BARRE – People walking near Public Square in Wilkes-Barre said they faced a man who was armed with a crossbow.
Police swarmed onto South Main Street after a 911 call came in.
Within seconds, Newswatch 16 found the man surrounded by Wilkes-Barre police.
He was just hit with a Taser stun gun and a crossbow was on the sidewalk.
Raymond Rittenhouse of Nanticoke said he left Boscov’s with his friends when he encountered the armed man and called police.
“He pointed it at all of us and he said you know, he just started chasing us,” said Rittenhouse.
Newswatch 16′s Bill Wadell talked with the man in handcuffs after he was seen pointing a crossbow at people in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
“I was taking it out to the woods but I took a crossbow walk and it just so happens I ended up here…. I was not going to hurt nobody,” said the unnamed man police took into custody.
People who witnessed the arrest. Say police were there within seconds.
Shoppers are thankful no one was hurt.
Criminals Scared by Gonzaga’s Blue Signs
Gonzaga University should be renamed Alice in Wonderland School of Nonsense because everything is backwards there. Criminals aren’t feared, security fears law-abiding gun owners, and the response to crime is put blue signs to remind gun owners that the 2nd Amendment does not exist in university-owned property. Sort of like separate drinking fountains, the question is, will gun owners sit in the back of Gonzaga’s crappy bus? Or shall we sue the bastards into Kingdom come? I say sue the crap out of them.
SPOKANE, Wash. – Nearly a year has passed since two Gonzaga University students stopped an intruder by going and getting a gun before the intruder forced himself inside the apartment.
That incident sparked debate over the gun policy on Gonzaga University’s campus.
The two students were living in university owned apartments off the main campus at the time of the incident.
KREM’s 2 On Your Side checked back into the controversial gun issue at Gonzaga University and found that the school is taking the incident into consideration when looking over campus gun policy.
Across campus, there are new blue signs posted. The school said those signs are a a result of that gun incident last year.
Staff said the new blue signs were...

Acronyms for Gun Rights
We live in an abbreviated world, we don’t say “Thank God It’s Friday” but TGIF. Chicks don’t watch “romantic comedies” by ROMCOMS, even Dancing with the Stars has become DWTS online. So if you’re new to guns, here’s a few abbreviations our gun rights patriots use:
2A – Second Amendment
ACP – Automatic Colt Pistol (e.g. .45 ACP)
Why Rallies Need Permits
Here’s a cheap shot from a cheap man:
It turns out a freedom rally still needs a permit.
“Will you bow down and lick the boots of tyrants, or will you stand for the liberty of your children?” reads the rally’s website. The rally sign-up page shows 6,100 people say they plan to come to the state Capitol grounds on Dec. 13 to flout the new gun-background-checks law, passed by voters as Initiative 594.
…
For any gathering of more than 75 people, a free permit is required by state law, mostly so groups don’t interfere with one another, she said.
….
The permit for a rally and the background check for a gun are both hurdles. And yes, both are irritants. But neither blocks the underlying right.
That isn’t tyranny. For better or worse it’s called civilization.
I bet in the end the “I Will Not Comply” rally will happen, and it will be full of enough speechifying and arms-brandishing for an NRA convention. It will demonstrate only that both our First and Second Amendments are doing just fine.
Florida Elections Have Positive Consequences for Hunters
While hunting isn’t a right, paying up to a $1,000 for a hunting license is too much. That’s why this executive order is a good thing for hunters, tourism, everyone.
Gov. Scott reduces cost of Lifetime Sportsman’s License
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –Today, Governor Rick Scott signed an executive order authorizing the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to offer Lifetime Sportsman’s Licenses for Florida children and young adults at a greatly reduced cost. The license now costs up to $1000 but from Nov. 24 through Dec. 31, 2014, the price will be reduced to $500 for Florida residents who are 21-years-old and younger. The lifetime license covers saltwater and freshwater recreational fishing, hunting and most associated permits.
Governor Scott said, “Our state’s natural treasures give families wonderful opportunities for both fishing and hunting from the Panhandle to the Keys. This Lifetime Sportsman’s License will provide Florida’s youth with the opportunity to spend time outdoors with their families. Fishing and hunting are time-honored traditions in our state, and I encourage all Floridians to spend some time enjoying the great outdoors.”
A Lifetime Sportsman’s License allows fishing and hunting in Florida for the rest of the license holder’s life, even...
Crude-Ass Gun Ad
I’m no prude, but using the word “ass” twice in an ad might be a little too much.
So what do you think? Do you love this Rock Island Armory ad? Does it sell the 2nd Amendment or does it harm it?
Wall Street Journal Explains Gun Trusts
This is a topic that’s relevant to any gun owner with a family. Without the gun trust, politically incorrect guns could get confiscated:
Estate planning can get complicated when it involves transferring a collection of art, cars or other such possessions. It gets trickier still for guns.
Whether it is grandpa’s Browning rifle from World War II, an antique pistol from the Revolutionary War passed down through generations, or a collection of hunting guns, firearms present some unique legal challenges. Some lawyers and advisers say these often can be solved through the use of a so-called gun trust.
Typically set up as a revocable living trust, a gun trust is crafted specifically to hold firearms, with the gun owner generally acting as the trustee.
They are most commonly used to hold certain federally-restricted items, such as silencers, because they can help cut down on some of the paperwork needed to possess, transfer and own such possessions. But estate planners say they are increasingly being used to create a road map for families left to handle a deceased loved-one’s collection.
For one thing, many executors or trustees might not be familiar with state and federal laws for firearms, as well as safety, storage, or the best way to liquidate a collection. By...
Lesbian Gun Ad?
Here’s an ad from Comp Tac that has me confused:
Is it a tomboy, a lesbian, or just a girl with short hair? Hard to tell, but whatever she is, I will not be messing with her. LOL
See liberals? Giving a girl a gun is easier than “teaching men not to rape.”
Gun-Hating Ghouls Go After Dead Gun Owners
If you live Buffalo, NY and you die, the cops will be investigating if you owned any guns.
BUFFALO, NY – Buffalo Police say they’re determined to get more guns off the streets and now they’re checking to see whether pistol permit holders have passed away and what happened to their gun or guns.
During a press conference last week regarding weapons brought in illegally from Pennsylvania, police officials told reporters their biggest problem with weapons in crimes seems to involve guns that are stolen in burglaries from homes.
They feel that, in some cases, families are holding on to weapons even after the person who bought them originally has died.
So now they’re actually looking for those situations.
“We recently started a program where we’re cross referencing all the pistol permit holders with the death records, and we’re sending people out to collect the guns whenever possible so that they don’t end up in the wrong hands,” said Police Commissioner Daniel Derrenda.“ Because at times they lay out there and the family is not aware of them and they end up just out on the street.”
Some police agencies give families of the deceased permit holder 15 days to sell or transfer a...
