For the record, neither I nor Tyler Firearms made any comment about the Patriot Picket to the Capital Gazette. Just because it’s on the internet, does not make it true.

I got a case of the azz from a member here when I posted about a MSP Change I read and trusted as valuable information , and a member posted a FB or Tweet that could have been validated before it was posted . Lots of double standards IMHO . But life is like a box of chocolates .
I am glad that the IP cleared the smear up

well i went to remove my comment on Facebook after talking to a prominent member of the Patriot Picket . It appears after talking to you that he believes you are a victim of fake news. I apologizes for my FB comment and would do so on FB also but it appears that it has been removed .

Kudos to you.
I saw that something was going on and another was being blamed. They were hoping to track down who sent an editorial to the C Gazette? Not sure if this thread is about that or not.
Mr. Boomstick I think? He is quite active 2A wise.
OK, back to work.

Are you suggesting that the Lefties would pen an inflammatory editorial and sign your name to it (a classic "Joe job"), and that the Capital Gazette editors would gleefully print it? (They do seem to be on an anti-gun editorial bender recently.)

That is why a phone call or pm. To ask the IP or Member would have been the right thing to do instead of repeating trash talk. Verification would have been nice before posting. I am glad some have apologized
I posted a letter to the editor on their website to clarify this whole mess and received an email response from one of their editors today. He would like to speak on the phone tomorrow about it to clear things up. I’ll post again when I have more information.

Record the call legally so they cant pull anything
You might want to have handy the locations of other people with the same name in case they say it was from another person with the same name.

What was the jist of the originally claimed post?
Someone used my name and said the Patriot Picket was run by idiots and the members were morons and that they were a “bunch of buffoons that need to go away.” Definitely not my words. Who uses the term “buffoon”?... LOL
I’m probably going to start using that word now because it sounds really cool... LOL
Chuck
I love to use out of style words like that. Once the term has been out of fashion for just ten years or so, you sound like you're quoting Shakespeare. The problem of course is that most people who need to be called a craven, lilly-livered poltroon, a milksop, a skinflint, a charlatan, or a harlot won't even understand what you're saying. But it's still fun.

The Secret Service used the word "buffoon". A Secret Service officer friend said to me that Joe Biden was the "biggest buffoon" they ever dealt with. I don't believe that characterization has changed any...or with any of the rest of the clowns running for the Democrat nomination.
Those are awesome words! I sometimes forget how flamboyant the English language used to be... LOL

Sorry to slightly redirect. For those looking in, is it correct that the Capital Gazette dropped pursuing a restraining order against the guy that eventually murdered people in their newsroom? If this is correct, would there have been a mechanism (in place at the time) to go after go after his firearms due to the threats he had made? Not saying that this would have stopped him. If he was intent on doing harm, he would have found a way (unless there were legitimate reasons to institutionalize him).
It is notable how the CG has made this a story about gun availability in already strictly regulated MD (in which the shooter got his firearm after a background check) and the gun community. UBCs wouldn't have prevented this tragedy, and 2A advocates who fight back online are being vilified more than the actual killer.
I recognize that the reporters and Editorial staff do not make the business and legal decisions for the Capital Gazette, which would have included how to enhance workplace security and to more fully pursue the aggrieved individual. I bet management was hoping that the problem wasn't serious and would go away. But there's no way that the CG journalists can cover this end of the story. Instead they want to report that the PP are a bunch of meanies.
And back on track, Chuck, sorry that you were drawn into this vortex by commonality of name with the letter writer (or possibly someone trying to spoof you).

Except you probably shouldn't use the word "flamboyant" to describe them. That word's still around, but doesn't mean what it once did.
If I am reading correctly, the victim that suspect Ramos was allegedly harassing had over time filed 3 seperate restraining orders against him. In addition, it appears that victim's attorney had communications with the court regarding Ramos as well.
I do not see any indication here that either the Capital Gazette or their parent company (The Baltimore Sun) sought any additional remedies from the court. Perhaps they did, but it appears from the "hornets nest" reference made herein that they likely did not.

The "Crapital" editor clearly stated that they didn't "want to make matters worse" in regards to pursuing legal remedies, and that they didn't take steps to secure thier facilities because "they are a community newspaper and needed to be open to the community".
Both of these quotes are paraphrases 'cause my computer skills aren't good enough to get around thier 4 articles restrictions to find the article. I tried secret mode and clearing cookies, but still restricted. I seriously believe this intentional, and not just for $$$!!!
