Gun Free Zone
And that is the way you do it.
Round Rock Police reported one call about someone openly carrying a gun at an H-E-B on Palm Valley Blvd. A police spokesperson said the department explained to the store personnel that the store needed to have a sign in order to prohibit a concealed handgun license holder from entering the store with a holstered pistol. A spokesperson for H-E-B says the store did have a sign up and the customer left without any problems. A police spokesperson says the department did not receive any additional calls related to open carry.

No histrionics, no chest thumping. I believe that many stores with signs up will eventually bring them down, a combination of lost sales and realizing we are, as always, a Polite Society.
Real Guns – New for 2016 Ruger’s Switcheroo – Buckaroo.
It would appear that 2016 is unfolding as a year of innovation. Take, for example, Ruger’s new Switcheroo – Buckaroo, or the “Swuck” as it is already popularly called. The Swuck is the first Roto-Barrel, Dual Caliber, Multi Engagement Revolver to hit the market. Primarily a hunting revolver, the Swuck’s cylinder can hold a combination of three 357 Magnum and three 22 LR rimfire cartridges which allows the hunter to switch between a round suitable for hogs and deer to one more suitable for harvesting small game for the stew pot.

Shame on us Gun Bullies! We made POTUS cry.
Oh dear God. Really? He got all emotional in the faux Town Hall. Must be all the laughter behinds his back …and in front of him too.
Narcissistic little wuss. Check him out.
Another bad idea of mine
In my area, most grocery stores have gas station near them or associated with them, e.g. Kroger, Wal-Mart, etc.
I want open gas stations near Whole Foods. Call it “Complete Gas.” Advertise my gas as gluten free and free range, pumped from only sustainable well heads. I bet I could get $3.50 a gallon before anybody caught on.
Some words of advice
Open carry is now legal in Texas. I have the feeling it is coming to Florida pretty soon.
I’m not a big fan of open carry for several reasons, but I’m not going to get into that right now.
It has been just about 36 hours since open carry went into effect and the streets of Texas have run red with blood nothing bad has happened. You wouldn’t know that from all the hand-wringing about open carry:
Well let me bestow upon those concerned, a little bit of advice:
“If you see a guy with a gun on his hip, as long as that gun stays in it’s holster, your’e fine.”
That goes for those with concealed carry permits too. It’s really not that hard to understand.
Bayou Renaissance Man: Correlating cities’ murder rates with political party dominance
28 out of the top 30 ‘murder capitals’ – and all of the top 24 – have mayors who belong to the Democratic Party. They say that correlation is not causation, and in general I agree: but that degree of correlation between the dominant political party in each city, and the crime rate in each city, is hard to explain away, IMHO. Draw your own conclusions

...Guess who bought Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring.
Lo and behold the top donor to his campaign for Attorney General was none other than Independence USA PAC. They gave $1,292,417 of in-kind donations to his campaign
When you owe your elected position to Michael Bloomberg, when he says jump, you say how high. Evidently now was the time that Bloomberg said jump and jump is what Herring did in response.

We need our own Bloomberg. Imagine the ability to buy the same amount of air time and the backing of millions of gun owners doing grunt work.

It’s not lost on anyone that the biggest supporters of gun control are those who have other people with guns employed to protect them.
