We learned that it was a good day for 2nd amendment rights, parental rights, health freedom rights, and school choice. The Republican-led House passed some really good bills today.

Humor – But Could He Fill Out the ATF 4473 Form to Pass the Background Check?
And I wonder, too, which stance and hold this furry friend would use? And reloading would be something to behold as well.
Should We Virtue Signal With Guns?
Nine days ago, I wrote about Wal-Mart and Corporate Virtue Signaling. CEO Doug McMillon talked about kissing up to the anti-gun left. More corporate virtue signaling followed thereafter. As expected, a few of my fellow pro-gun virtue signalers responded with comments about “signs.” #SoStuckOnSigns
Open Carry of Guns is Virtue Signaling
Open carry of guns is virtue signaling. Yes indeed. The statement is not a negative against those who open carry, but it is what it is: Virtue Signaling. When my brother or sister in arms goes grocery shopping or to the store with a visible and open firearm, they are sending a message for all who see them. “I support the right for an individual citizen to keep and bear arms.” It is right out there for the whole world to see. My view on open carry is neutral.
I do not open carry when out in public. That is a personal choice I have made for me. I do open carry at the gun range to which I am a member. However, the range is a private organization and I am among, “fellow travelers.” I am not going to denigrate anybody’s personal choices to open carry. I respect my fellow citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.
More Corporate Virtue Signaling
CVS, Walgreens and Wegmans are the latest corporate #MeToo virtue signalers. On Thursday, September 5, CVS, on their CVSHealth,com site released the following statement:
We support the efforts of individuals and groups working to prevent gun violence, and continually review our policies and procedures to ensure our stores remain a safe environment. We join a growing chorus of businesses in requesting that our customers, other than authorized law enforcement personnel, do not bring firearms into our stores.
These retailers are the latest to divide
Wal-Mart Bans Open-Carry in its Stores – Will Discontinue Selling Handgun Ammunition
This has no effect on me, but the left is getting its way again. Wal-Mart has announced a nationwide ban on open carry in their stores. It is also discontinuing short-barrel rifle ammunition and all handgun ammunition.
Antifa: now taking away BOTH our First and Second Amendment Rights?
Antifa – the new brownshirts of the Democrat Socialists. It really is what they are – the newest version of the Klan and the Nazi / Mussolini brownshirts; few leading Democrats have it suitable to disavow their riot provoking activities. To summarize in simple terms, these “anti-fascists” believe that not all speech is permissible and that “hate speech” (which is anything to which they disagree with) is the same as actual physical violence. Hence, they have the RIGHT to stop you from speaking in any way that they can, including fists, elbows, knees, legs, boots, bats, shields, tear gas, knives, and of course, swinging bike locks. Dressed in black
Sidenote: even notice that the leading Leftists, especially in tech and the artsy-fartsy, pretty much just dress all in black? I wonder….
with helmets, goggles, and face-hiding bandanas, they go about their merry way in beating the crap out of you and that makes them feelz good about themselves that they’ve shut you up and shut you down. Now, they’re moving on to the next article in the Bill of Rights – and they still don’t believe they are the ones that are the real fascists?
Quick Thought – Gosh, TMEW asks the same thing!
Doesn’t matter where I’m going, she’ll often ask. If she knows if the area is not a great one, she definitely asks (reformatted, emphasis mine):
This morning, in light of recent events, Bobbi replied to my “I’m headed out” with “Do you have a gun?” She was asking out of genuine concern, and so I did not reply sardonically with “I’m wearing pants, aren’t I?” or “Am I in the secure area of an airport?” But I’m not carrying a gun because I’m afraid. I’m carrying a gun because carrying a gun is what I do. If I’m dressed, there’s a Gen4 Glock 19 on my person, whether I’m at home or out and about.
Legal open carrying of firearms by citizens…
…became the law in Oklahoma on November 1, 2012. World doesn’t end. (Note: Open carry has always been legal in New Hampshire; it is guaranteed by the New Hampshire State Constitution. You can read about that from 2nd Amendment hero Sam Cohen of Pro-Gun New Hampshire HERE.)
Subject: A lady shopping in a Texas store…and the massacre in Aurora, Colorado.
The lady above is said to be shopping in a Texas Wal-Mart. I am delighted to see it, and hope to see the same in New Hampshire: As any rational person can see, stores with customers like this are far safer than without. You doubt it? Consider the massacre in the Aurora theater: If only ONE person carrying concealed had been present…
