Open Carry Troubles in Wisconsin

Looks like someone got pinched for disorderly.   See here, and here.

UPDATE: I’m seeing examples of extreme stupidity on the part of the arrestee:

I thinks its best i more clearly represent the kind of person i am, cause you don’t seem to understand who I am or what I’m doing.  I am not afraid of a court battle.  I am not afraid of police or their false charges.  I am not afraid of publicity that may meet my family bad or good(really wouldn’t make a difference).  No lawyer can study or interpret the law better than me when on an even field(in front of a judge, I’ve actually trounced some really good ones).  I have no need to consult a lawyer when what I am doing is perfectly not illegal.  Please stop warning me to get a lawyer if I’ve done nothing or am going to do anything wrong.  And I know that everything here is opinion, but its a step in the right direction if I can find the facts that prove or disprove something.  And I’m a very good researcher.  I don’t mean this posting to sound rude but I get incensed when I’m told to get a Lawyer(and it happens often), criminals need lawyers not me.

Jaysus, not another one.  Folks, when you’re doing something like this, that’s bound to attract the attention of law enforcement, you need to have your legal game ready to go.  There are smart open carry advocates, and there are stupid ones.  This guy is a stupid one.

UPDATE: Looks like he ended up with counsel after his arrest, but he should have done his open carry in consultation with a lawyer first.  It’s not right, since it’s not a crime.  But it’s reality.  If you get pinched, and don’t do the right things, that can screw everybody, not just you.

It’s Obama!

Clinton is going to bow out.  Somehow I think she must have gotten something out of this, since Clintons don’t quit.  I’m hearing rumors that Ed Rendell is on Obama’s consideration list for his Vice Presidential pick.  As much as I’d like to see Ed out of Pennsylvania, I don’t want that to be because he goes to DC in a Barack Obama administration.  Obama must lose.  I don’t care how bad McCain is, can America really afford to elect an unrepetent socialist?

And let’s not forget where he stands on gun control.

Is Anyone Home in the Philadelphia Media?

The city gets two gun laws outright thrown out before anyone has even tried to enforce them, and the other three are dismissed on standing, which is not the same as the laws being upheld, the city has gone and declared victory.  Now the AP seems to have gotten it right, but the city media?  Hook, line and sinker baby.  Joe Grace, I have to hand it to you.  You’re a brash and brazen scheister, but you’re good.  Anyone who can do media relations for a guy as corrupt and crooked as John Street has to be.

The Philadelphia Metro should be ahsamed of itself, though.  When you’re just a propaganda arm of City Government, what good are you as journalists?  Are you doing any service to the citizens of Philadelphia?

Audio Segment from This Morning

I have a copy of the audio segment where the mayor answers my question.  The question wasn’t submitted under my alias, so don’t listen for Sebastian :)  It starts right off with the gun issue.

About that Video

SayUncle claimed to have a certain video today, that when we clicked on it, we got Rickrolled.

In a carefully crafted bit of revenge, done gun blogosphere style, I have a very embarassing photo of SayUncle taken at the Second Amendment Blogger Bash to share with everyone.

UPDATE: It’s a joke.  It’s not Rick Astley :)

Fundraising With Gun Bans

The Brady Campaign, that staffers insist isn’t an organization out to, you know, ban guns, is fundraising because the Bush administration might get to “enforce an extremist reading of the Second Amendment” such as it being unconstitutional to ban guns.  Who exactly are the extremists again?

The Destruction of Guns

Traction Control takes the City of New York to task for their program of destruction of firearms, and says it makes about as much sense as burning money seized off of drug dealers.  In a manner of speaking, the city is burning money.  Law abiding folks would pay good money for those guns.
