Man Shoots Down Private Spy Drone Over His Property, Get’s Charged With Gun Crime

Man Shoots Down Private Spy Drone Over His Property, Get’s Charged With Gun Crime

Leave it to New Jersey to once again be on the wrong side of the gun debate. In Lower Township, NJ, 32 year old Russell Percenti was arrested after shooting down his neighbors drone that was flying over his property taking photos. It is bad enough that we have to suffer the Constitution shredding loss of privacy at the hands of the government, but now actively protecting high tech voyeurism when it trespasses on our very own property (500 feet above one’s property is acknowledged as that persons private air space) is a bitter pill indeed.  Not surprising such a miscarriage of justice is taking place in New Jersey. Allegedly, the flyer of the helicopter drone was taking photos of a friend’s house that was under construction, but that shouldn’t negate the fact that he was flying over other people’s property with a camera attached to a spy drone....

FBI Claims Stopping Power A “Myth”

FBI Claims Stopping Power A “Myth”

On the heels of the Army looking to replace the 9mm Beretta pistol as its standard sidearm, the FBI’s Training Division released a “new study” in May that was recently leaked to the public.  The Study claims that the 9mm Luger pistol is the best option for law enforcement.  Suggesting that departments shouldn’t switch their sidearms to larger rounds. The FBI Study shows there are a number of reasons for their conclusion.  But their rationale is laughable. Looking over a copy of the FBI study I found their conclusions and assumptions to be rather simplistic.   Among their justifications for the 9mm being a superior round are: Law Enforcement Officers aren’t skilled enough to shoot a larger round nothing that they missed 80% of the time with a 9mm so to increase the caliber means increasing the miss rate FBI Shooters shoot better with the 9mm Luger You can hold more rounds with a 9mm...

Gun Shop Owner Goes Off The Rails And Bans All Muslims From Buying Guns

Gun Shop Owner Goes Off The Rails And Bans All Muslims From Buying Guns

When I was in the army, in a post 9/11 world, I was basically trained to killed Islamic terrorists.  When I came home I was able to differentiate between a middle eastern terrorist and a mid western cowboy hat wearing, F150 driving American who happens to pray in a mosque. Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave, in Hot Springs Arkansas has come out and publicly and stated that she will NOT sell to Muslims and that her store is in fact a “Muslim Free Zone.” Morgan puts forth “facts” that she claims legitimizes her personal belief that punishing an entire sect of people for their right of religious choice is somehow valid. Here are her ten “facts” with my rebuttals in bold. 1) The Koran (which I have read and studied thoroughly and (which all Muslims align themselves with), contains 109 verses commanding hate, murder and terror against...

Have Gun Will Discount, Restaurant Offers Discount For Gun Carrying Patrons

Have Gun Will Discount, Restaurant Offers Discount For Gun Carrying Patrons

I have long ago decided that if I ever opened up a service industry based business that I would offer a discount to people who open carry (or concealed carriers who can prove it) when they patron my establishment. Apparently this idea is not limited only to my brain as the notion has begun to spread: The owner of a popular Louisiana restaurant began giving customers a 10% discount off the cost of their meals providing they can prove they’re carrying a firearm. Liberals are not amused. Bergeron’s Restaurant owner Kevin Cox is bucking the trend of such chains as Chili’s, Sonic, and Chipotle, which now are “gun-free zones,” by actually encouraging patrons to carry when frequenting his Port Allen eatery. Cox had already been offering the discount to police officers, and then thought, why not do the same for lawful gun owners. “I just need to see a weapon,” Cox told...

The Duplicitous Nature of Requiring Good Cause In Order To Exercise 2nd Amendment Right

The Duplicitous Nature of Requiring Good Cause In Order To Exercise 2nd Amendment Right

DC has, because they were forced to by the courts, enacted legislation that allows people to get pistol permits in order to carry a firearm while in the city…sort of. Unfortunately the District looked to places like New York City and other rights infringing metropolitan areas to model there new program on.  And while they MAY be technically following the judges orders, it is akin to a childish tantrum in which a parent tells one child to stop touching the other so the belligerent child holds his fingers a hairs breath from the skin all while cackling “I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you.” As the Associated Press reports: “Mayor Vincent Gray and other city officials said they plan to propose legislation that would make the District of Columbia similar to a half-dozen states, including Maryland, where residents can be denied a concealed-carry permit if they can’t show...

Enough Pressure Finally Mounts and Shaneen Allen Will Be Treated Like A Wife Beater

Enough Pressure Finally Mounts and Shaneen Allen Will Be Treated Like A Wife Beater

If you are a regular to this site then you know the tale of Shaneen Allen, the Philadephia single mom who took a wrong turn into New Jersey (because all turns into New Jersey are wrong and should be avoided) and was facing 10 years because she informed the officer that she had her legal sidearm with her. I told you how the DA and the Judge both refused to let her enter a pretrial intervention program that would spare her jail time and was created for people like her, no criminal record, first time mistake type people. Then I told you about Ray Rice beating his wife unconscious and the SAME DA and Judge GAVE Ray Rice the pre trial intervention. Now I finally have some good news to tell you in relation to this case. Because of all the outrage and phone calls and emails sent to the...

Apply Gun Control “Logic” and David vs Goliath Plays Out A Little Different

Apply Gun Control “Logic” and David vs Goliath Plays Out A Little Different

An Episcopal Bishop recently said that Jesus wouldn’t be in the NRA and that “there is no Biblical scripture to support gun ownership”, I began to think of stories from the Bible that encapsulates the right to keep and bear arms. The story that came to mind was David and Goliath. To summarize, Goliath stood nearly 9 feet tall, wore 125 pounds of body armor, wielded a spear whose iron head weighed 15 pounds along with a sword as a backup weapon. David carried an assault sling shot with a high capacity magazine of 5 smooth stones that he picked up on the way to meet Goliath. Now, at this point let’s start applying Gun Control “Logic.” First of all David was a youth and shouldn’t even have access to a projectile weapon and Saul should have kept it locked in a combination safe. Secondly, who needs more than one...

NJ Leaves Citizens Unable To Stop Bear Attack

NJ Leaves Citizens Unable To Stop Bear Attack

Despite it’s reputation for being the trash heap for New York City, having a rundown blighted gambling town and dirty needles washing up on its shores, New Jersey actually has some nature.  And with that nature, a surprisingly high population of black bears. Unfortunately for the VAST majority of New Jersians, if they want to leave the smoggy, industrial, morally barren part of their state to enjoy nature on its north and western borders they must do so unarmed and as such be unable to adequately defend themselves from predators.  I include those who walk on two feet as well as those who do so on four. I wrote an article earlier this month entitled “Why you should ALWAYS carry a sidearm when you go hunting”, when a man was attacked by a bear and couldn’t bring his bow and arrow to heed quick enough. Perhaps that title wasn’t inclusive...

James Harrison and His Logical Pro 2nd Amendment Arguments Return to Pittsburgh

James Harrison and His Logical Pro 2nd Amendment Arguments Return to Pittsburgh

As a Pittsburgher I am a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  As a 2nd Amendment advocate I am a fan of the right to keep and bear arms.  When those two worlds collide, you get James Harrison. After a short stint away from the team, Harrison has returned to help a injury riddled defense keep it together.  I love his no nonsense, hard nosed, old school style of football but I also love his rational, logical and well reasoned stance on the 2nd Amendment. A few years ago I wrote an article after Bob Costas suffered diarrhea of the mouth and started using televised football games in order to promote his gun hating racist tantrums.  “Even if all those guns were obtained legally, you can’t have 65 guys in their 20′s and 30′s, aggressive young men subject to impulses, without something bad happening,” -Bob Costas Considering that nigh 70%...

Episcopal Bishop Claims Jesus Is an Ignorant Coward

Episcopal Bishop Claims Jesus Is an Ignorant Coward

During a panel of the Religious Newswriter Association’s annual meeting in Atlanta this past week, gun hating Episcopal bloward and anti gun zealot Bishop Robert Wright went on a tear, speaking for Jesus, tearing into and insulting the NRA, English speakers and Georgians in general. The panel was entitled “God and Guns.” Highlights of what Bishop  Wright had to say: “Jesus is not from Georgia. Jesus does not speak English. And Jesus is not a member of the NRA.” “There is no Biblical Scripture supporting gun ownership.” “You can say a lot about your opinions on guns, but you can’t put those words in Jesus’ mouth” The rest of the panel was as equally “balanced” in their viewpoint.  Odd that the RNA couldn’t find a SINGLE person of faith who might have objected to the blatant one sided viewpoint offered by the panel.  The RNA actually had the gall...

What Soldiers Do In Their Downtime

What Soldiers Do In Their Downtime

For all of us who have served in the armed forces, the term “hurry up and wait” is not an unfamiliar concept.  Despite what the movies and action films would have you believe, the life of a soldier is best described (especially in a war zone) as: Long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. To put it lightly, there is a LOT of downtime.  And there is only so much downtime a person can take before they need to find some avenue of mental stimulation. Yes, there are things to do, but there are only so many times you can sweep a floor or check your gear before it just becomes punitive.  And yes, lifting weights and playing cards are options but they can become repetitive.  So every once in a while some high speed low drag trooper comes up with an idea and gets his...

Court: Sexual Predators Protected By the 1st Amendment…2nd Amendment For Law Abiding? Still Ok To Infringe

Court: Sexual Predators Protected By the 1st Amendment…2nd Amendment For Law Abiding? Still Ok To Infringe

It boggles the mind sometimes when I hear how judges rule things.  But a case in which a judge actually defended a case of a sexual predator who was taking photos up women’s skirts takes the cake. On Wednesday, the highest Criminal Court in Texas, tossed out part of a law that sought to criminalize the improper photographing of video recording of images commonly referred to as “upskirting” or “downblousing”.  Basically taking a photo up a woman’s skirt or down her shirt.  First of all, I’m shocked that crawling under a woman and sticking a camera between her legs and taking a snapshot ISN’T a crime everywhere. Secondly that I am shocked that the Texas court ruled such a law is unconstitutional and did so in a ruling of 8-1. But finally I am most shocked with the asinine reasoning behind the decision. According to court these sexual perverts...

2nd Amendment Infringements Endanger US Troops and Their Families

2nd Amendment Infringements Endanger US Troops and Their Families

When you add up the number of military personnel, including National Guard, Reservists and the Coast Guard, the United States has about 2.2 million service members who have volunteered to put their lives on the lines to defend this nation of ours. Yet a great deal of these troops have been betrayed by their state governments and denied the protection that the 2nd Amendment enumerates.  Even by the MOST LIBERAL ANTI GUN interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, these 2.2 million people (if no one else) should not have their 2nd Amendment right infringed. If you are a service member in Vermont or Alaska or Arizona then you have nothing to worry about because your state recognizes the 2nd Amendment rights of all it’s citizens.  Yet if you live in New York, Maryland, San Francisco and other such dens of iniquity you are pretty much out of luck, just like...

Scotland Votes Like Anti-Gunners: Guided by Fear and Ignorance

Scotland Votes Like Anti-Gunners: Guided by Fear and Ignorance

Scotland votes and the pieces of William Wallace roll over in his grave.  Let us just say simply that I am disappointed.  All the people of Scotland had to do to seize freedom was to VOTE for it.  Yet 55% of them let the fear mongering, political bribes and general ignorance rule the day. The Scots who voted to stay under the yolk of London were swayed by unfounded talk of economic doom and gloom put forth by those who would be most hurt by their independence, namely…the ENGLISH and their Scottish lackeys. It got so serious that the Prime Minister started making concessions to give more power to Scotland over the past month in order to try and bribe them into staying in the Kingdom.  Concessions I remind you that Parliament has no legal obligation to uphold. 55% of Scots also feared the great unknown, not one of...

Everytown For Gun Safety Unintentionally Makes Great Case For Gun Rights

Everytown For Gun Safety Unintentionally Makes Great Case For Gun Rights

It’s always funny when gun controllers use situations in where a law abiding gun owner could have or has made a difference as reasons to push forth more gun control.  I recently wrote an article about a woman who saved her husband’s life while he was being beaten by a group of brass knuckle wearing thugs, Mom’s Demand Action pointed to that as a reason why guns should be banned in parks. It therefore comes as no surprise when I come across a video in which the message of the gun controllers does exactly the opposite of the intent. The following video was produced by Bloomberg organization Everytown for Gun Safety.  The video shows a situation that is made possible by a gun control mindset: Let’s point out some fails on this one. First, restraining orders are like gun free zones, they only work if a bad guy listens...

The Parallels of Scotland’s Independence and the US’s 2nd Amendment

The Parallels of Scotland’s Independence and the US’s 2nd Amendment

In case you haven’t been keeping up with the happenings of the United Kingdom, tomorrow, September the 18th, Scots are going to the polls to vote on whether they want to end 300+ years of British rule and re-establish their own sovereign nation.  Yeah, sure…do it the EASY way and VOTE…on this side of the pond we had to actually FIGHT for our independence. The more I’ve watched of Scotland’s run up to the vote the more I see a parallel between the “Unionists” (those who wish to stay part of the UK) and gun controllers here in the US. Most evident is the fear mongering that both unionists and gun controllers like to spout forth. “You can’t do that because bad things will happen” “We must protect the children” “Blood will run in the streets” “The nation will fall into chaos and ruin” These are sentiments being put...

Wife Uses Gun To Stop Gang From Beating Her Husband To Death, “Mom’s Demand Action” Point To It As Reason To Ban Guns

Wife Uses Gun To Stop Gang From Beating Her Husband To Death, “Mom’s Demand Action” Point To It As Reason To Ban Guns

As if one needs anymore proof that gun control zealots couldn’t care less about safety and their real objective is the complete dismantling of the 2nd Amendment, Mom’s Demand Action illustrates that truth perfectly. In Wichita, Kansas a group of men began mercilessly beating a youth football coach because one of the men’s son wasn’t allowed to play in a game.  And why wasn’t the kid getting playing time?  Because he and his family STOLE the football equipment from the previous year…or rather that they didn’t return it. As Jerome Crawford, director of the Wichita Titans (a team in the league) puts it: “It’s kind of a mutual understanding between teams.  The only way to maintain our stuff (equipment) is to not allow them to play for another team until we get our stuff back.” Seems perfectly reasonable to me, especially with the price equipment.  So the child wasn’t allowed to play...

Why Believers In The 2nd Amendment Can’t Depend On The Courts

Why Believers In The 2nd Amendment Can’t Depend On The Courts

We as Americans like to think that, at the end of the day, no matter how much elected officials try to impose tyranny upon us, the court will stand up for our rights and balance the legislature and executive branches with good ole fashioned constitutional beat downs. Yet, if that was the case, decisions like Heller v DC and MacDonald v Chicago would have been decided by the Supreme Court by 9-0 rulings in favor of the 2nd Amendment.  Yet, the result in actuality is that the 2nd Amendment still exists in America because of a single vote. Why is that?  Because judges are not paragons of infallibility…they are simply people who SHOULD follow the Constitution but when it comes down to it are just as likely to ignore their oath as a politician is.  And speaking of politicians, on the Federal level, judges are appointed BY politicians. At...
