Counter Protests

The Other Sebastian is getting his game on and counter protesting the anti-gun folk.  RealCo is a gun shop in Prince George’s County that’s a recent target of anti-gunners due to the number of guns recovered by police that trace back to it.  Hardly a shocker in a high crime county that borders a high crime city (where guns are illegal).

He also needs a bullhorn to counter the bullcrap, if anyone in the area can point him in the right direction.

New Jersey is a Choir?

Bitter seems surprised some think that New Jersey is “the choir” in regards to preaching about gun rights. I agree with her assessment. The voice of gun control has been all New Jersey residents have heard for years, and that’s reflected in their laws. We have a story to tell to the residents of New Jersey, and it’s a compelling one.

We have been on the defensive for quite some time. Now we’re at a point where the anti-gun people are on the defensive, and are touting what amount to small losses as huge victories for gun control, because they got something dammit. Dog food tastes great if you haven’t had a square meal in 14 years.

We have them on the defensive now. Did anyone see the video with Andrew Dysart and Paul Helmke? When you have Paul on C-SPAN defending their position on campus carry, folks, we’ve come a long way. Bryan Miller’s and Scott Bach’s blog are a good way for us to contribute to that, by making sure people reading in New Jersey are getting more than the crap the media and anti-gun crowd wants them to hear. It’s time to start attacking them on their own territory, in states they think are “safe”, and that starts with the public debate. To that end, I am going to submit a membership application to the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, the NRA affiliate for that state. In addition to buying some ammo in August 28th, why not also consider donating some money to your favorite gun rights group in an anti-gun state, or offer some support. If anyone has any recommendations for groups, have at it in the comments.

UPDATE: Thirdpower points out:

With all due respect to Andrew Dysart, not only is Paul, former mayor and president of a Nat’l organization, reduced to arguing against CCW on campus, but to debating w/ college students.

Indeed

Anyone Ever Had a Crown Lengthening?

I am a dental phobic. If you gave me a choice between shooting myself in the leg, and being in that chair, I’d have to think about it for a minute. But now I’ve gotten myself in deep.

I waited way too long to get my wisdom teeth removed. I just had it done last November, and only then because I had to, or I faced losing more teeth if I didn’t get it done, since they were starting to decay the teeth they were impacting.

Well, the time as come to pay the piper for that, both in money terms and in chair time terms. In order to repair the tooth my now absent wisdom tooth had impacted, I need to have a crown lengthening done, then a root canal, and then have a crown fitted. All in all, I expect my out of pocket cost will be a small fortune. Given that I use my teeth all the time, I don’t think I have much choice.

So how painful is the aftermath of this crown lengthening crap, for any of you who have ever had one? It is like having tooth filled? Or are we talking about having to get more happy drugs like I did for the wisdom teeth?  Root canal doesn’t scare me too much.  Been there, done that.  But any unknown dental procedure invariably makes me lose sleep.
