I’m pretty certain that I’m not the first to adopt this as my new tagline.

I may have missed the information somewhere in this long thread, but I'm pretty sure he was carrying a Hi-Point Firearms pistol of one flavor or another. Cheap, ugly, and very reliable, it's a perfect pistol to open carry if you stand the chance of having your gun confiscated.

And, they are made in Ohio!

A Canadian Press story was posted on 8/11 discussing the evil gun and the horrible, horrible man who dared to holster it and walk around his New Hampshire town (link). That story morphs into:

Death threats are part of the job for any American president, but Barack Obama has reportedly had more levelled against him than any commander-in-chief in history.

A new book, "In The President's Secret Service," says Obama receives as many as 30 death threats a day, 400 per cent more than those made against his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Its author, Ronald Kessler, has sent shockwaves through Washington with his allegations that the cash-strapped Secret Service is cutting corners, leaving the first African-American president in U.S. history particularly vulnerable.

"There's no question his life is in danger," Kessler, a veteran investigative journalist, said in a recent television interview. "Tomorrow, Obama could be assassinated ... simply because the Secret Service was not doing what it used to do."

He's a victim, yo!
