For those of you all high and mighty on “green living”, shut the f— up. Buying compact fluorescents that require EPA instructions and a hazmat suit to clean up when broken, driving a Prius that polluted enough water to kill a coral reef in making its frame and batteries and sticking your cardboard into a [...]

Nothing to add. Just the headline.

Is Nordyke’s 2A/14A section holding or dictum?

by Of Arms and the Law June 30, 2009 Arms & The Law

Over at the Volokh Conspiracy, Prof. Volokh argues that Nordyke’s finding that the 14th Amendment incorporates the 2nd Amendment is part of its holding, and not dictum.

BTW, postings have been slack because I’m still recovering from the operation. Had a complication, infection, that put me on my back for days, and now another — a tube into me that came partially loose — and this does tend to reduce blogging time!

Hyperbole taken to new limits: Anti-gun groups are now authorities on Religion

Get Your UTAH CCW License (REPOSTED FROM EARLIER)

by DC Handgun Info June 30, 2009 DC Handgun Info

I’m sure I mentioned this in an earlier post (when?), but did you know that DC residents can apply for a Utah non-resident concealed carry
weapon (CCW) permit?

Marksmen Masters (MM) in Ashburn, VA, offers weekly courses to qualify you for the Utah CCW permit.

If you are not familiar with Loudoun County, Ashburn is located here.

You won’t be able to carry in D.C. or Maryland, but you’ll be able to carry in 30 or more states, thanks to your new Utah CCW permit. Information on states that honor the Utah permit here.

MM holds monthly classes in the evenings, and they have a toll-free number: 1-800-723-6907.

Pick up the phone, and call them.

If you’re a new shooter, leave a comment about why you want to buy a gun, and any questions you have about shooting.

Good luck.

If you get a kick out of this blog, consider paying me back with a small purchase from my Amazon wish list:
