The Left is out of ideas.That's been true since the 40's at least.

Another fine job from Ms. Marion Hammer. She was the leader in the Florida concealed carry fight (where the left used exactly the same silly "Wild West" rhetoric), and Ms. Hammer did a fine job shepherding this one also.

New York, please. We can't even get "unrestricted" concealed carry in most NY counties, I doubt this liberal legislature will do anything to support our right to crry.
Besides, they just reinstituted the so-called assault weapon ban in NY....unbelievable.

This legislation has the Brady Bunch and criminals (but, I repeat myself) quaking in their Birkenstocks and boots, respectively.

Last night, Slashdot was loaded with post after post of distressed lefties writing that they want to form armed militias and overthrow our government. They're not even hiding it anymore.

I was unable to prove to the judge overseeing handgun permits that I had a "need" for a concealed carry permit. I've about had it with this state.

The BEST part about this law (speaking as a Floridian and a firearms instructor) is that once this is signed into law, it will bar the attacker (or his estate) from filing a lawsuit to recover damages (assuming the shooting is ruled justifiable in the first place). ALSO, it bars an antigun jurisdiction (like my area of Miami-Dade, and again, assuming a justifiable shooting) from arresting the shooter to harass and recklessly prosecute for the sake of deterrence in order to send a signal to other gunowners not to shoot the downtrodden and misunderstood criminals.....
We MUST go on the offensive and spread legislation like this to other states. Force the Brady Bunch and the Million Morons to run around and try and stamp out pro-gun fires rather than allow them time to cook up more ways to deprive us the use of arms in self defense.
We need to start rolling back more of the 20,000 gun laws on the books that are useless (all of 'em) and put the antifreedom crowd into a tailspin from which it will require 100 years to recover.

Is there any evidence that any gun control law in any jurisdiction has prevented even a single crime? I'm aware of none.
