A report from the protest outside of Shooter’s Shop: I was rather unimpressed by the numbers that ceasefire and heeding god’s call drew. I drove by and saw what looked like 50 people out front, and thought “Gee.. this is gonna fun”. Once I arrived at the shop, and started talking to people, I realized … Continue reading “Report from the Front”
After successfully getting Colosimo’s shop closed down, Heeding God’s Call is turning its attention to another PA gun shop.

The Philadelphia Daily News couldn’t be more thrilled: The civil disobedience followed weeks of discussions with Colosimo’s in which activists urging the store to accept a voluntary 10-point code of conduct that was created by a national coalition of mayors, including Mayor Nutter. The code was aimed at preventing gun traffickers from hiding their identities … Continue reading “Criminal Trespass = Civil Disobedience?”
The US Attorneys have released the information associated with the prosecution of Colosimo’s gun shop. Â They have also issued a press release as well. What strikes me is the complaint against them doesn’t really offer any evidence that his paperwork was a willful violation, it just states that is the case. Paperwork errors are not … Continue reading “Prosecution by Information”
One of the members of the group that protested outside of Colosimo’s is feeling vindicated with the arrival of federal charges: Little did we know that while we were meeting the U.S. Attorney’s office was charging Mr. Colism with falsifying statements and failing to keep accurate records. On a practical level, it appears that our … Continue reading “Heeding God’s Call Feeling Vindicated”
It appears a judge aquitted the Colosimo Five of all tresspassing charges. To the credit of the District Attorney: In his closing statement, Assistant District Attorney Guy D’Andrea said the case was “about individuals going to a private person’s business to disrupt that business.” This is why Philadelphia is a lawless city. But I suppose … Continue reading “Acquitted”
If the Inquirer’s editorial board had their way, we’d call tresspassing overstaying your welcome: The members of Heeding God’s Call also intend to bring their message to the pulpits of legislators’ home congregations. They hope that building grassroots support across the state will change some minds in Harrisburg. The dozen activists who are scheduled to … Continue reading “Defining Trespassing Down”
Apparently God wants us to harass businesses which sell a lawful product. Interesting that one of the “Clergy” in the pictures looks an awful lot like Bryan Miller. I didn’t even know Bryan was ordained! Colosimo acknowledged that a significant number of handguns sold at his shop have been discovered to have been used in … Continue reading “Heeding God’s Call”
Harsh words from C. Scott Shields for Mayor Nutter: NRA attorney C. Scott Shields later accused Nutter of being a “tyrant” willing to cast gun-shops owners in a false light. “To suggest that they’re engaging in unlawful trafficking of handguns is outrageous,” Shields said. The city ultimately hopes to take this fight to a higher … Continue reading “Tyrant”
Nutter is dragging Philadelphia gun shops into this now. “These gun traffickers are not going to stop us from keeping the citizens of Philadelphia safe,” Nutter said in a news conference before an afternoon court hearing on the five laws he signed into law last month. One of them limits gun purchases to one a … Continue reading “Nutter Targeting Philly Gun Shop”
