KeepAndBearArms.com -- "Did you know that writing a rhetorical letter to the civil authorities in California challenging their hypocrisy results in a police investigation that includes not only calls from detectives but two black and white police cruisers coming to your home?"
"That's what happened to longtime gun rights activist and professional writer David Codrea this week. What follows is a link to the investigation-inspiring letter, a detailed description of what transpired and a description of how trying to get our own answers from the investigators resulted in unwillingness to respond to our simple, reasonable inquiry." ...
-------
We look forward to reading posted comments -- especially those from people who work in law enforcement. And please remember that your comments are reflections upon us all.
ADDITION TO THIS KABA NOTE:
One commentator suggested that our encouragement to be aware that comments reflect on us all is "PC". Here is the point: there is still an "open investigation" going on, and not only is David Codrea in the crosshairs, but this thread is probably monitored.
The "authorities" have already shown how they react to commentary that upsets them. Just keep that in mind if you plan to post anything that could cause them to react in a similar fashion against you -- or against KABA. |

"An internal FBI report kept under wraps for three years details dozens of cases of agents fired for egregious misconduct and crimes, including drug trafficking, attempted murder, theft, misuse of informants and consorting with prostitutes."
"The report, released Wednesday by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, found that about one in 1,000 agents was dismissed for serious misconduct or criminal offenses by the FBI during the period examined, from 1986 to 1999. The average was between eight and nine per year."
"Although the numbers were small, the FBI's attempts to prevent the report's disclosure from the public and Congress since its completion in June 2000 are raising questions among FBI critics about an attempt to avoid embarrassment."

Answer to title question: Only when handled by stupid people.
-------
"Guns are by definition dangerous, nasty things that have one sole purpose. They kill things. ...They are not, and they never can be, safe." ...
"According to the respected US gun-control organisation The Brady Campaign, in 1998 alone 30,708 people in the United States died as a result of firearm-related incidents. Some were murdered, others committed suicide and others still were the victims of tragic accidents. But they all had one thing in common. They were all killed by guns."
-------
Two questions:
1 - Who, other than those with a cowardly agenda, respects Brady?
2 - Did the guns go off all by themselves, or did someone pull the trigger?

Here are the facts (as doctored by frothing anti-gunners):
"Every day, 12 children in America are killed in gun incidents." (Only if you count 19-24 year olds as "children" and only if you include gang warfare and criminal activity."
"A gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a family member or a friend than it is to kill an intruder." (That's if you count suicides, which account for 83 percent of this flawed and discredited report, and criminal activity between the family members, which also includes felons, drug dealers, violent spouses committing assault, and other criminal activities.)

A security guard is in custody Thursday after surrendering to authorities to face a murder charge in the shooting of a 19-year-old man.
Dameon Wroe turned himself in to sheriffs in Rancho Cucamonga early Wednesday morning. He faces a second degree murder charge in the New Year's Day shooting.
Wroe claims he shot Michael Krause, Jr. in self-defense. Wroe says Krause tried to run him over after he asked the 19-year-old to move his truck at an apartment complex where he was a security guard.
Prosecutors said evidence shows 32-year-old Wroe did not have a right to self-defense under the circumstances. Prosecutor Joe Gaetano said charging Wroe was a "careful, thoughtful decision."
Wroe is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.

"The lawyer representing John Hirko Jr.'s family repeatedly urged a federal jury Wednesday to send Bethlehem police a message that would reverberate beyond the courtroom walls to other law enforcement agencies."
" 'You can tell these defendants that their deadly and violent actions in the war against drugs are not acceptable,' lawyer John Karoly Jr. told the jury. 'You will not permit them to be judge, jurors or executioners in this case or any case.' "
"...Karoly called it laughable for police to claim that they shot Hirko in self-defense. He cited evidence that Hirko was shot mostly in the back, that he wasn't standing at the time and that two shots hit Hirko a split-second before or after he died." |

The New Hampshire Senate voted Thursday to let gunowners carry concealed weapons without a license.
The 13-10 vote sent the measure to the House.
Supporters argued that the constitutional right to bear arms shouldn't be infringed by requiring gunowners to apply for licenses.
Alton Republican Robert Boyce said the constitution gives people the right to protect themselves. But opponents said getting a license from the local police department is a needed safeguard.
Nashua Democrat Joseph Foster said getting a license is a reasonable regulation that doesn't prevent anyone from carrying a weapon.
Other opponents said eliminating the requirement might result in more guns being carried. |

"The Delaware County Board of Supervisors took a stand against Gov. George Pataki's plan to increase fees for pistol permit holders and gun dealers."
"The governor wants pistol owners, who now hold permanent pistol licenses, to renew their licenses every five years and pay a $100 fee — or more, if they own multiple guns."
"According to a resolution passed unanimously by the board Wednesday, 'the imposition of such changes would greatly increase fees paid for licenses and the vast majority of current pistol permit holders are honest, law-abiding taxpaying citizens.' "
"The imposition of such fees would be a burden to the permit holders of the County of Delaware and would lead to an infringement of the rights of individuals guaranteed under the Second Amendment." |

An unidentified intruder was greeted with a blast from a shotgun following a foiled burglary attempt at 2 a.m. in the 1500 block of West Seventh Street.
According to a police report, the home was occupied by a woman and her two sons. The residents were awakened by a loud noise. A 13-year-old resident grabbed his father's shotgun and entered the room. He fired a shot at the intruder who took off running from the scene.
Police did not discover any blood trails leading from the residence or any reports of gunshot injuries at the local hospital.
The home sustained a broken window.

But if the enemies of freedom had their way, this quick-thinking 13 year old would be unable to use a firearm to defend his mom and his brother. The gun would be locked up, out of reach, and the family would be at the mercy of the thug. |

Assuming the U.S. Constitution does in fact require states to honor other states' public acts, let's apply that rule of law to Florida's concealed Weapon Permit law, and require all other states to honor Florida's law on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

"Three off-duty deputies were at the Icehouse about midnight. Then a pickup truck screamed down the street, with two twentysomethings in it, one of whom started firing a 22-caliber pistol."
"The cops tried to get the license plate but couldn't, so they settled back to their table. Soon they heard the telltale sounds indicating the truck was about to make a second pass. 'By that time the guys had loaded up and said, 'If he comes back again, forget about it, we're returning fire,' ' says Burt Springer, the lawyer representing two of the deputies."
"And did they ever. Somewhere around 40 shots' worth." ...
"Springer says the deputies had been at the bar only a short time and weren't drunk. Not that it would matter: 'Even police officers who've been drinking are allowed to defend themselves,' he says."
"If only they could aim."

Apparently, it's OK for police officers to drink and carry, but anti-gunners push for the disarmament of the rest of us when entering a restaurant that serves alcohol or a bar. |
