French Consul Accused of Racism For Advising Citizens To Avoid Walking In Bostons High Crime Areas After Dark
Students called the Foreign Ministrys travel warnings racist, noting they advised French nationals to avoid areas mainly where members of minority groups live.
Advise the business owner that if their patrons are prohibited the means to defend themselves and if the business owners don’t take positive steps to prevent criminals from illegally harming their patrons, then the business owners will be liable if their patrons suffer harm from any criminal acts for which their legal customers are prohibited from defending themselves against.
WIN! Signs coming down at Wal-Mart
UPDATED
January 15, 2014
Weve seen reports that Wal-Mart is taking down the No Guns signage, thanks to gun owners politely contacting them and explaining the confusion the signs were causing. GSL joined with other gun rights groups in encouraging gun owners to make their voices heard and with a little tact and finesse, it seems the signs are coming down as we wanted.
Nice job, everyone!
We will update this as we have a chance to run it down.
UPDATE:
Just got off the phone with Beverly, the district manager Kevin Haneys assistant.
She confirmed reports weve read and heard that Wal-Mart has reversed itself and will be removing the No Guns (for on-duty staff and vendors) signage from all of the Illinois stores in the coming days.
Kevin got the initial email from corporate on their decision on this earlier today, because his eight stores in central Illinois generated the most comments and concerns to corporate of any district in Illinois.
Kudos to all of you, right in the heart of Guns Save Life territory, for getting involved to get Wal-Mart to make the right decision to pull the signs.
Beverly did say that corporate legal people were working on the language of the final order to remove the signs but that should be a done deal by the end of the week at the latest and signs should start coming down very shortly after that.
Again, fabulous work, folks!

Armed citizen truncates crazed mans mass attack
January 15, 2014
Once again, we see that the only thing that stops a bad person with evil in their heart is a good guy with a gun.
In Portland, a disgruntled man with no shortage of previous arrests thought he was going to show them after getting turned away from admission for being an obnoxious jerk. He returned wearing a Halloween mask and carrying a gun and opened fire.

On the surface, John Filippidis seems to be just the kind of responsible gun owner who should carry a concealed firearm. Hes a family man, small business owner and taxpayer who takes the responsibility of gun ownership seriously.

A so-called panic button, which is designed to alert a schools main office to a classroom emergency, reportedly didnt work after a Key Largo School teacher pushed his repeatedly while a third-grader threatened to shoot and stab his classmates last week.
The threat was apparently just that, and the boy did not have a weapon. But the schools reaction to the situation sparked outrage among concerned parents who say they were never informed about the incident until after a child told his parents and that couple posted it on Facebook several days later.

One more time: In case of death or grave bodily harm, it is PULL THE TRIGGER, not PUSH THE ALARM BUTTON.
As the Opposition loves to say: How many more childrens bodies have to fall for the common sense to be exercised?

NY Gun Control Groups, Pols Double Down on SAFE Act
By Robert Farago on January 16, 2014
Or not (courtesy wivb.com)
Hows that compromise thing working out for New York gun owners? A press release (after the jump) from a fanatic of civilian disarmament advocates celebrating the first anniversary reveals that Empire State anti-gunners are looking to build on the historic NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Acts (NY SAFE Act) widely popular provisions. Specifically, they want to enact MA-style Child Access Prevention (stored guns must be rendered inoperative), Unicorn-based cartridge ID creation (i.e. microstamping), One Gun A Month purchase limits, ten-day waiting period for firearms purchases, immediate firearms confiscation during domestic abuse calls (without due process), a ban on 50-Caliber Military-Style Sniper Rifles, requiring gun dealers to call the cops for failed NICS background checks, and background checks for gun dealer employees. Strangely, outright confiscation was not mentioned . . .

Walmart continues to exemplify the behavior of successful “big business”. While many excoriate their aggressive business to business practices as heavy handed and unfair, their business model, mission of keeping prices low for customers and bending to the demands of their customers per location is the reason for their continued and unprecedented global success.
They will not be bullied by anyone except customers. They will force all levels of executives to behave and spend in accordance with their mission and have laser like focus on the goals. At the same time, despite what liberals and media would have you believe, they pay comparably fair wages and do take care of their workforce.
Love them or hate them, you have to admire their success and the reasons for it.
Items 5 and 6 were certainly predictable.
Depends on state law - if it’s simple trespass, that’s usually a misdemeanor. Above that, there may be an impact on his license but it’s still dependent on state law.
They started popping up around here when Mississippi affirmed open carry... complaining to the businesses and avoiding them while the signs are displayed have caused some of them to disappear.
Libtards and their “ideas” are hazardous to Children and all other living things.
I’m hoping he has a Matt Damon-like experience from his foray into being anti-fracking with his recent agit-prop film “Promised Land.”
Free as a bird, guilty as sin!! I think I heard that somewhere before, hum, who was that? Oh I know, the commie terrorist who wrote O turd’s books for him.
I am glad to hear the Mississippi has open carry! I hope the Louisiana and Texas get it too. And yes, all responsible gun owners should do most of the shopping at gun friendly businesses.
