#3 I hesitate to ever say anything in favor of gun control other than suggest more practice. However, maybe some thought should be given at this time by the good people of this country to disarming the feral govmint. They are out of control.

#4 What is not working, as Secretary Hagel formulated it, is Americas gun culture.

Its a bit troubling, one might even say Orwellian, for the Secretary of Defense to suggest that civilian behavior needs to be changed to insure the safety of the military.

#6 So I guess super bateman can see concealed weapons with his x-ray vision, as well as achieving the rank of master chef because we all want to know if he has good crabs or bad crabs.

No context of where he was traveling, would that not make a difference? If he was seeing (LOL) conceal carry in NYC that would be different say Mobile eh? And in a bar, I'm no expert but even here in better allow open carry Kansas a CC cannot (last I checked) go into a bar.

Or was he talking about the bartender having a CC? The safest I felt in Kansas City KS - there one night for an art exhibition in one of those ghost neighborhoods where there are all these large buildings but no people - was at a quick shop where they had an employee whose sole job was to stand guard with an open carry. He had that look like he had already practiced on me a couple times. First time that whole deal I knew there was somebody else looking where my back was turned. Good people at that art show, too good perhaps, I'm no billy B.A. but take me out and that place could have been robbed by one dude with a baseball bat; especially after a couple examples were made.

#7 That was in Wyondotte County Kansas, which was discussed earlier this week and I confused with the happenings around Wichita Kansas for which I apologize. Wyondotte's deal was banning open carry, and in such urban paradises there are outposts of commerce but the business cannot afford private security, cannot afford to get robbed, cannot afford to wait for the police, and cannot afford the couple extra seconds to brandish from a conceal rather than the hip.

The arguement I heard from my gun grabber friends (well they were until I disagreed tha Sebelius is an effective leader and needed a second term as Governor) was the only reason for such a low was to Gary Cooper a twelve pack of used beer bottles. An article over at This Ain't Hell (can't find link now, kids crawling up the pantlegs) nailed with a paraphrase "The very question of whether someone is armed or not is deterrent in and of itself; open carry automatically makes you a target."

*you want to make a head explode this worked for me: Pulp Fiction, great movie, opening scene with the restaurant robbery, awesome. That robbery was thwarted by two guys conceal carrying. Give the look like "challenge its ok because they were gangsters, try it."

#8 To finish, the question in Wichita. Current law basically states that any public and government run property which cannot be safely secured should allow conceal carry. Opponents chose the zoo as an example, stating that a zoo, unlike a park, has walls and proper entrances/exits.

Kansas City Zoo, March: melee ensues during free admission day.

#9 Wisthoff mooing at the zoo:
"Please let us care of you!
Calmly line up two by two,
As we run from you-know-who."

#10 So much to say about the confrontation taking place in Nevada that I would probably not be helpful in my remarks, as predictable as they may be.

Let me try something simple.

Recently we watched a relatively obscure department of the Federal Government send an armed force against private citizens under dubious authority against private citizens in order to seize their property and enforce their will. In the process, the government enacted a 1st Ammendment Zone. How many of the Ammendments in the Bill of Rights may have been violated during this action? Which of the remaining Ammendments allow effective recourse to those violated Ammendments?
