The folks over at TFBtv just put out a video about the VEPR-12. Seems like it might be a better way to go if you’re getting into the game for that now.

Not 1700, 17000.

I did find something that gave me hope that it wasn’t that bad yet. In the middle of all this madness of people buying thousands of paper rolls "just in case", some people keep making right and wise decisions.

Thankfully, prosecutors did the right thing and dropped the case. It seems that there were some gotcha style issues with his permits, not surprising considering it’s New Jersey. I have to believe that the public notoriety and pressure went a long way towards attaining the outcome. https://www.newsweek.com/roosevelt-twyne-new-jersey-gun-laws-1491859

What he said.

I really wish for once he could have admitted that he’s not the smartest guy in the room and deferred to those best equipped to handle this. What really kills me is that there was a golden opportunity to not only do good, but reinforce his goals of moving industry back to the US under the auspices of national security and general public welfare. If he could have come out with an honest “this is gonna suck for a while, but we will listen to the experts like Dr. Fauci and get through this together as Americans” and then pivoted to bringing back supply chains for things like pharmaceutical production back to the US as a national security necessity, he would have greatly helped the nation and also mitigated fallout from the economic downturn caused by COVID-19.

They won’t.

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I WILL get COVID-19. With my job it’s a forgone conclusion at this point.

Zach Bryan dropped this on YouTube today. This kid can write a a helluva song. Right now his music career consists of him recording these songs live and dropping them on YouTube. He’s actually active duty Navy still and music isn’t a full time gig for him yet. I strongly suspect that one of these days he’s going to be a very big deal.

Sean Penn?

I believe it is supposed to be a “then and now” of Finnish soldiers.

Bust Out Another Thousand

I think that’s a question only you can answer. What would you get more enjoyment out of? Boats and guns do seem to share one similarity in that neither gets used as much as folks think they will when they get them and tend to spend a lot of time gathering dust.

This bill as written I think will pretty much guarantee an increase in officer contacts with citizens.

I’m coming to the same conclusion. It leaves intact the baseline that carrying a gun is a crime and only creates a narrow defense to prosecution. This is a bad bill. I can support incremental steps, but I’m now very unsure if this is an actual improvement.

Like I mentioned before, I have a lifetime permit so I get nothing out of this. I still want better for my fellow citizens for whom this does benefit. I’ll take it on the incremental win that it is, but I t still needs work and the legislature will continue to need to be pressed on that front.

This is probably the best option for you based on your location. https://www.tnsportsfoundation.org

Which is why I mentioned the limited reciprocity. I don’t think the border states that have Con-Carry have the residency requirements (I could be wrong) so if that’s the case it’s a way better deal all around.

Is it just me, or does it seem like once this goes into effect it’s a better deal than the CC permit That passed last year? Only thing it doesn’t grant is the limited reciprocity in other states. If that isn’t an issue, then the CC permit isn’t worth bothering with.

This is very disappointing.

Exactly. Our entire system of government was founded on the idea that all rights reside in the people individually who cede certain powers to the government for the purpose of an orderly functioning society. Government grants nothing to the people. It is the people who grant the government its very existence.
