Another story on why good people need to have guns and know how to use them. The assailant was killed after being shot several times with a .22 pistol. Police ID slain home invasion suspect *| ajc.com

I know this happened in England but if you ever get tired of fighting for your 2nd Amendment rights just remember this and other stories like it, and how the right of self defense can be taken away by a government that has your "best interest" at heart.

Interesting and pretty much evenhanded report on the impact of "Guns in Bars" Law that was passed last year....verdict....much adoo about nothing! Impact of guns in bars law nearly one year later

Thank You GKar!

Right now the "Festival of Nations" is going on in Dollywood. My wife and I went last week just to take in the shows. Be sure and see "Drum". It was fantastic. I've heard very good things about "Samaia" but we didn't get a chance to see it. As for food, we try to never miss a chance to eat at "The Old Mill Restaurant" or "The Pottery House Cafe and Grill." They are side by side and you can check out their menues and decide which is right for you. "Bennets BarBque" is another favorite of mine and the food is terrific. Hope you have a great vacation!!

Good luck Will Carry. I sure hope NC improves their carry laws. Living not far from the NC line, I find myself in your state often and love visiting the western mountains. Reading the link you provided and some of the comments about the issue its like reading our own papers for the last two or three years when the parks and bar bills were being debated. Same old tired opposition and lame wild west comparisons we heard over and over. Hang in there and never quit fighting.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl but apparently there was an ad for "Justified" that plays off the "Dirty Harry" movies. Excellent!

Here is a link to watch the Senate Committee discussing this bill on the 22nd. Just click on 0306 on the menu under the screen when it loads up to take you right to the discussion for this bill. It is the second bill from the top of the list. Senate-Judiciary

The line that cracked me up was when Raylan goes looking for the pedophile at the house where the two brothers were at and one comes out to talk to Raylan and you can hear gunfire coming from inside the house. A few minutes later Coover comes out of the house swinging a rat by the tail all proud of shooting the rat. Raylan says "I shot rats as a kid. Used to chase them out of the s**t houses. All YOU have to do is go in the kitchen."

Shooting a gun without getting a chance to practice would be hard for this kind of competition - at least it would for me. And they sure did miss a lot with the 1911 and weren't too accurate with the Sharp's Rifle.

My guess would be that Bloomberg has conducted this "investigation" a little more carefully this time considering the repremand he got from the Justice Dept. and ATF the last time. And it was under the Bush Admin. that he got in trouble. Now that Eric Holder is the Att. General and the new head of the ATF, according to reports, is very anti 2nd Amendment, he may not run into any problems like he did before.
