Penny Dean and Your Rights

Thanks to The Blog of Legal Times, http://legaltimes.typepad.com

Judge Ricardo Urbina of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has just ruled that the D.C. firearm ordinances enacted after the Supreme Court's D.C. v. Heller decision in 2008 "permissibly regulate the exercise of the core Second Amendment right to use firearms for the purpose of self-defense in the home." Urbina dismissed a case brought by Dick Heller, the same plaintiff who challenged the previous D.C. ordinance at the Supreme Court.

There is a story <a href="http://www.journal-news.net/page/content.detail/id/520379.html?nav=5006"... about a guy who got awaken from bed and arrested. The story has many of the details, and of course, we don't how accurate they may or may not be, much less do we know how many details are missing. But put yourself in the shoes of a Mr. Dale Meadows, of 12311 Valley Road, Berkeley Springs [WV] and ask yourself what you would have done in this situation.

From Sen. Mike Enzi's (R-WY) dot-gov website at http://enzi.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=NewsRoom.NewsReleases... we are reprinting the story in total!

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, John Barrasso and Representative Cynthia Lummis, all R-Wyo., praised the implementation of a law solidifying the second amendment by allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons on to National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service public lands.

It's a sure sign that the gun grabbers are getting tired, when they resort to the same lies about guns, gun control, background checks, lawful carry, bla bla bla. Specifically, they say that more guns causes more gun violence. This is provably false. They say that background checks make people safer. This is false, as well.

Thanks to <a href="http://blogs.findlaw.com/blotter/2010/02/ga-state-gun-laws-could-get-ove... for the following:

Georgia lawmakers could overhaul current Georgia gun laws and allow weapons just about anywhere -- even handguns on college campuses.

The proposed broad legislation would lift a ban on firearms in most public buildings, churches and even the state Capitol. It would allow gun owners with permits to carry in college campuses. The places where Georgia gun laws would ban firearms would mainly be limited to jails, courthouses and prisons.

OpenCarry.org Applauds Starbucks' Policy to Serve all Lawful Gun Owners
Free Market Ensures Gun Owners Will Get Served.

Bristol, VA --(AmmoLand.com)- OpenCarry.org applauds Starbuck's policy to serve all lawful gun carriers world wide. It is refreshing to see yet one more company not requiring law abiding gun owners to go to the back of the bus.

"Importantly," says John Pierce, co-founder of OpenCarry.org, "Starbucks joins most American corporations in deciding not to discriminate against lawful gun carriers."

Sometimes I try to think and nothing happens. Other times I get hit by a bolt out of the blue and "get it", that is, one of those "AHAAA!!!!!" moments.

This has to stop.

It is an often-heard charge that the so-called mainstream media has a bias against guns and gun owners. This bias is shown in blatant ways, often on editorial pages, and also in more subtle ways - even in purportedly factual news stories.

OK, I will save you the trouble and ask the question for you: "What is an article about New York Firemen doing on Penny Dean's page?"
