I'm the NRA, You're the NRA, We're all the NRA

War on Guns has an update on the VCDL case against another township that can't figure out the concept that open carry is legal in Virginia.

The article he links to shows clearly that it doesn't take intelligence or common sense to be in politics:

Councilman Barclay C. Winn, who is a hunter, said the guns-rights group's actions are precisely why he won't joint the NRA - the powerful lobbyists the National Rifle Association.

Ah, so he won't join the NRA because of his problems w/ the VCDL? That makes sense. That's like saying :I have a problem w/ PETA so I won't join the ASPCA.

And this idiot has apparently been making decisions for the banking industry:

Riddick and other council members weren't aware of the financial settlement with Moore. "Before we issue another $10,000 check, we should go to the highest court in the land," he said.

Yep. Instead of cutting a quick check and trying to get your police to actually know the law, let's try and spend multiple times more on a lawsuit that you'll lose.

See, I might understand their ignorance if this was the first time this had happened. But this is the SECOND time the police had harrassed this same individual.

The VCDL is going to eat these guys alive.

McCreary man shoots intruder, police say

Kentucky State Police are investigating a shooting in McCreary County that happened after a 19-year-old Pine Knot man awoke to being assaulted.

But the Brady's say he should have given the intruder what he wanted and fled his home to contact the authorities.

Is that what you would have done?

Homeowner wounds would-be burglar

Fulton County police said they will consult with the district attorneys office before deciding on whether to charge a homeowner who shot and wounded a teenager charged with breaking into his townhouse Saturday evening.


The Brady Campaign not only thinks that this homeowner should have relied on the authorities who weren't there but should also have to go through the trauma of being held and charged to prove he didn't commit a crime defending his home.

That is their definition of "reasonable, common-sense" legislation.
