Topic: Don't get mace - get a firearm!

Wright said in his view, gun control is, "Is when you can get you barrel back on the target quick. That’s gun control."

Wright said the attack is not the fault of Millken Park. He said, "It's a nice place for families."

He said officers patrol the area all the time and respond to various calls there. He said, "Don't blame anyone for having an animal on their property … We can't get it all."

He encouraged women to walk in groups, and he ended by saying again, "I want you to get a concealed weapons permit. Don't get Mace. Get a firearm."

And then he said, "I think I better stop before I get sanctioned."

Sheriff Chuck Wright opened his news conference by saying, "Our form of justice is not making it."

He said, "Carry a concealed weapon. That'll fix it."

SC, that figures.

Good.  Some official LE is saying it.  I hope he tells the same thing to women seeking Restraining Orders.

I saw this earlier today.

Warmed my heart.

Made me think fondly (again) of Charles Bronson in Deathwish.

I carry a Taurus .38 special revolver with a titanium frame. Small, light, relatively easy to conceal...easier than my S&W .40 Sigma, anyway. I've never had to use it and I hope that I never do. But it's very nice knowing it's usually within my reach if it's ever needed.

Well, Chuck is one LEO I'll stand up for!

"The Spartanburg County Sheriff is known for speaking his mind, and at a news conference on Monday, he didn’t hold back his anger and frustration after a woman was attacked in a park over the weekend.

Investigators said 46-year-old Walter Lance grabbed a woman who was walking her dog in Milliken Park on Sunday afternoon. They said Lance choked the woman, made her take off her clothing and tried to rape her.

Lance is in custody and was denied bond on Monday.

He said, “Carry a concealed weapon. That’ll fix it.”

This subject is covered on one of the fishing sites I frequent. One of the members had this to say:

I live in Spartanburg county and Sheriff Wright is the man. He dont like trash. He has been on a mission since he took office. He started what he calls "operation rolling thunder". He brings in LE from a bunch of other counties and they sit on the side of I-85 and randomly pulls over cars, trucks, vans and tractor trailers. It amazing that after 5 or 6 years of this they still recover tons of drugs and drug money. He said in a statement last year for all the drug dealers to keep running thier drugs through Spartanburg cause we gonna take it, your money and vehicle. He is the man and highly respected by law abiding citizens.

I was all behind Wright until I read that little segment. I brought up the 4th amendment, but the yahoos over there had no qualms about LEO's pulling them over for no reason. I guess our country just accelerates to warp speed as it rolls down hill.

No, they had no qualms because they're willing to surrender their liberty for a cause of their choice.  Wait until they become the unwilling targets and see if that doesn't penetrate their bubbles.

I guess being on that road is enough probable cause, eh?

This is where a lot of conservatives have a bizarre Law Enforcement fetish that drives me nuts. It underscores the true genius of the Founders that their default position was always one of limiting the government. They recognized that no matter how righteous an exercise of the state's mighty powers are for this-or-that purpose today, tomorrow it might be twisted into justifying something else entirely, so it's best to just deny the state that power entirely, as long as the consequences are tolerable.

I resent this sort of aggressive "proactive" policing. You can bet there's a damn federal or state grant in this mix somewhere too.

[Libertas]

Yeah, that's not what I call proactive policing...proactive policing used to be cops walking beats...

 

Treating the entire public like a criminal doesn't make me feel safer, but it does make me less free.  This guy must have gotten this idea from the TSA...

A Texas handgun instructor is facing a state investigation after he ran a radio ad telling Muslims and non-Christian Arabs that he would not teach them how to handle a firearm.

Crockett Keller told Fox News he would not apologize for the ad – which ran on a country music station in Mason – about 100 miles west of Austin.

“I have no regrets,” he said. “I’m not a mean individual – not to say that occasionally I’ll get a little bit saucy or crude with my language.”

Nevertheless, he said he considers Muslims “our enemy” and he said they aren’t the only ones not welcomed at his handgun class.

I heard a little bit of one of his interviews.  He asked, rhetorically, how the flying instructors must have felt, after 9/11, who gave lessons to muslims who didn't care to learn how to land.

Some are saying he has "no right" to discriminate as he is credentialed by a government agency.

First, credentialing doesn't mean squat!  Federal, state and local governments contract corporations and individuals for all manner of services, and something service-oriented like this is basically a license to operate, there should be no strings attached as to how the business is run as a private enterprise, as long as the purpose of the license is honored!

Second, while it sucks to live in a pc/diversity/multi-culti world, this guy could have conducted his business as he wanted...quietly.

Point two above should not have to be tolerated but it is what it is...until it can be changed.
