      SC reciprocity bill

      The timing couldn't be better - I'm moving from Texas to Georgia at the end of June.

      Maryland General Assembly Finds Another Way to Stigmatize Veterans

      I try to, at least, tell a Vietnam Veteran "Thank you, and welcome home" when I get the chance.

      Maryland General Assembly Finds Another Way to Stigmatize Veterans

      Funny thing about PTSD...it doesn't happen to just soldiers...people who have been assaulted, attacked, raped...hell, even been in a car crash, can all experience PTSD...imagine The State saying that those people are mentally ill and can't carry a handgun for protection. Oh, wait...it IS Maryland.

      I used to have two 9mm pistols...traded them for two .45 ACP pistols...traded those for two .40 S&W pistols...and now I am back to two 9mm pistols :-)

      TX dean resigns overe new handgun law

      Food for thought: Some states - Texas and Georgia come to mind - approve concealed handgun licenses (or equivalent) to 18+ active duty military. A friend of mine in Georgia told me that an active duty service members stationed in Georgia don't even need the license - his/her military ID --IS--...

      TX dean resigns overe new handgun law

      The Texas DPS published statistics of criminal convictions of CHL (now LTC) holders - see https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/chl/reports/convrates.htm The last year for which data is available is 2014, but you'll see the the very, very low percentage of CHL/LTC holders convicted of crimes. In...

      TX dean resigns overe new handgun law

      My guess is that the guy already had a new job (better pay, etc.) lined up beforehand and simply used this as an excuse to make himself seem more "academic."

      Time to go, military family moves to San Antonio

      I'm originally from Maryland and have been in San Antonio for the last five years. I don't know how to properly put this, but I experience culture shock every time I go BACK to Maryland. People are simply nicer and friendlier. So much that my toddler daughter once asked "Why is everyone so mad...

      Time to go, military family moves to San Antonio

      San Antonio's great. Cost of living pretty reasonable, ~30 cents less for a gallon of gas. Lower utility bills (except for water, if you water your lawn). Live on the Northwest/North side of town and you'll be fine. Schools over here are pretty good. Humidity is nowhere near as bad as...

      Cue blood boiling - "Surviving an Active Shooter" video sent by my employer

      The "Run, Hide, Fight" video that my company shows was filmed in Houston - you can clearly see the "bad guy" stroll past a "30.06 sign" that prohibits licensed concealed carry on the premises. Surreal.

      DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier on active shooter: Take them down

      And yet, in my Federal facility, they routinely perform entry/exit inspections and confiscate pocket knives..."for employee safety."

      CCRKBA says SCOTUS ruling should open National reciprocity

      Perhaps a bit tongue-in-cheek here...but maybe I should type that up and send it to Maryland's Attorney General and tell him that I believe I have the right to carry a concealed handgun the next time I visit Maryland. Maybe end it with something along the lines of "Unless I receive a written...

      O'Malley's anti 2A ideas thoroughly trashed

      Okay, I stand corrected. The point I (poorly) tried to make was that "they" get to protect themselves while "we" don't. Here's a revision: If O'Malley is still a major candidate within 120 days of the election, he will receive taxpayer-funded armed security.

      O'Malley's anti 2A ideas thoroughly trashed

      Not to thread-jack this...but Marty has taxpayer-funded armed security since he's now a candidate for President...and I'm pretty sure that his judge wife also has some guns in proximity to her at most times...you know, because their lives are more important than those of the common rabble.

      Looks like TX gets OC in 2016

      It's a good start, but the goal is Constitutional Carry...the mayor and police chief in San Antonio have already said that they plan to use "lawful" means to "discourage" people from OCing. Austin, Houston, and Dallas will probably do the same (guess where all the Libs live?). Hopefully, after...

      Who is the next MSP Superintendent?

      Okay...so riddle me this: Suppose the new Governor appoints an MSP superintendent who, within his lawful authority, interprets G&S as pretty much any person who may lawfully purchase/possess a handgun and approves carry permits on that basis. That would turn Maryland into a de facto "shall...

      After the gun ban...

      When I lived in the UK in the 90s, a friend's house was broken into during the night. My friend threatened the guy with a softball bat and chased him out, and then called the police. The police confiscated the bat since it was used as "an offensive weapon." Later, I was part of a military...
