Armed EPA Agents Visit Ashville Man

If the FDA can conduct armed raids to confiscate milk, we shouldn't be surprised that the EPA can use the same intimidation tactics.

Case in Point

California

The Jerry Brown is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the
Governor.

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi"
and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is
natural.

2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the coyote and bills
the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the
State $200 testing it for diseases.

4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts 
a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.

6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness program" for residents of the area.

7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat
rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.

8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The
State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special
training regarding the nature of coyotes.

9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit
against the State.

*Texas*

The Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, is jogging with his dog along a trail. A
Coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his pistol and keeps
jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.

2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

* And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not .

Open Carry in Oklahoma

In spite of all the wailing and predictions of OK Corral type shoot-outs in the streets, I think this is a good thing.  The way the concealed statute was written originally, if your concealed weapon became accidentally revealed, you were in violation of the law.  I don't expect to suddenly see folks walking around in town with a holster on their hip.  It wouldn't bother me, but I prefer to have those with bad intent to look around and wonder who is armed.  If the weapon is concealed, it could be anybody that shoots back, even the little gray haired granny with that big purse...

As to the comparisons with the OK Corral, if memory serves, that was the first example of the failure of gun control efforts!  Tombstone, by ordinance, was suppose to be a gun free zone.  That didn't stop the Daltons from taking on the local constabulary, now, did it?

Article Gallery: Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signs open-carry gun bill into law

Gov. Mary Fallin signed into law Tuesday a measure that allows Oklahomans to openly carry handguns.

The measure, Senate Bill 1733, allows those who are licensed to carry a firearm under the Oklahoma Self Defense Act a choice: to openly carry a weapon or conceal it.

It also allows a property owner to openly carry a handgun on his or her land. No concealed carry permit would be required.

To receive a license under the Oklahoma Self Defense Act, applicants must take a firearms safety and training course and submit to a background check by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Those convicted of felonies and certain misdemeanors may not receive a handgun license.

The measure takes effect Nov. 1.

Oklahoma is the 25th state with either “permissive open carry” laws, which means no permit required, or “licensed open carry,” which requires a permit. Oklahoma now joins Utah, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Hawaii and Massachusetts as a “licensed open carry” state.

Have you ever looked at someone and just know that the wheel was turning, but the hamster was dead?

Proverbs 31:26-31 New International Version (NIV) 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mom's in my life!
