The Bureau of Land Management is planning a truly boneheaded move, angering some conservationists over the affects to herd populations and migration routes. From Field & Stream.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently released a draft plan outlining potential solar energy development in the West. The proposal is an update of the BLM’s 2012 Western Solar Plan. It adds five new states—Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming—to a list of 11 western states already earmarked…… [read more]
An Alabama House committee Wednesday approved a bill that would allow the permitless carry of pistols in the state, sending an Alabama House GOP priority bill to that chamber.
The 8 to 5 vote on the bill from Rep. Shane Stringer, R-Citronelle, took place after an hour of contentious debate that crossed party lines.
Stringer argued that the legislation would allow law-abiding citizens to carry weapons without fear of legal retribution, and said permit laws did not deter crime.
“The fact of the matter is criminals don’t adhere to laws,” Stringer said. “They don’t obey the laws we have now. We cannot legislate an evil heart from Montgomery.”
The bill passed with an amendment that would require gun owners to declare that they were carrying firearms when asked by a police officer. But there was confusion about a second amendment proposed by Rep. Proncey Robertson, R-Mount Hope, that appeared to create separate penalties for bringing firearms in areas where they are currently restricted and led Stringer to call Rep. Mike Jones, R-Andalusia, not a member of the committee, to explain it.
Rep. Allen Farley, R-McCalla, a retired assistant sheriff for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, said getting rid of the permits would amount to “defunding the police” and endanger law enforcement officers.
Uh huh. Defunding the police and endanger LEOs. I see. This is a slight variation on the objection that “They sky is falling, the sky is falling, there will be blood running in the streets.”
That’s what they said about open carry in Texas. That’s what they said about open carry in South Carolina. That’s what they said about constitutional carry in Texas. They said it in Arkansas. That’s what they say everywhere.
It never happens. But of course, he’s a retired LEO so he’s going to carry water for LEOs.
Anyway, it’s good that it left committee. That’s where most bills die.
BANK Outages at all big 5 banks! It’s happening. Trudeau has crushed consumer confidence in the banks in less than 48 hours. Some ATMs are still allowing cash to be pulled out but going empty. The bank has now locked up EVERYONES funds! 🇨🇦 🔔 pic.twitter.com/9CslynYJjD
They destroyed excavators, and they politely admit to it.
I accuse the @rcmpgrcpolice of committing crimes. Trespass. Break & enter. Mischief over $5,000. Breach of trust. Intimidation. The only question is: who ordered this illegal action? Kenney, Trudeau or Trudeau’s crooked commissioner Brenda Lucki? pic.twitter.com/sLtw8sTzHi
Next up, they’re planning false flags, or at least, they’re trying to pin things on the truckers in an attempt to wow the stupid “Karens” of the country. They also did the same thing at Coutts.
But the truckers in Ottawa are standing firm at the moment.
Cops. What a bunch of hoodlums and gangsters. Despicable and detestable.
A bill that would attempt to block any state official or agency from enforcing laws deemed to violate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been filed in the Wyoming Legislature.
(a) This state and all political subdivisions of this state are prohibited from using any personnel or funds appropriated by the legislature of the state of Wyoming or any other source of funds that originated within the state of Wyoming to enforce, administer or cooperate with any act, law, treaty, judicial or executive order, rule or regulation of the United States government that infringes on or impedes the free exercise of individual rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Because the 2022 Legislative Session is a budget session, non-budget bills like Senate File 102 need a 2/3 majority vote for introduction.
Given the makeup of the Wyoming legislature, the 2/3 vote shouldn’t be a problem. If it is, they need to throw the bums out.
This is weaker than the Missouri law which allows for lawsuits against LEOs who do that, as well as a prohibition on ever working again as a LEO in Missouri.
But this is a great first step.
I’m telling you, the FedGov hates these laws as seen by the drama surrounding the law in Missouri.
Report and video here. I don’t think she was chasing the big cat at all. I think she was running around out of her head screaming.
The dog is fine.
If it had been my Heidi-girl, a 90 pound Doberman, the cat may not have gotten out unscathed even if she had caught my girl. I’ve seen Heidi run other aggressive dogs down, catch up with them, slide underneath them (like she was sliding into second base), and then come up with a bite grip on the dog’s neck with the aggressive dog about to go down and out for the count.
Fortunately, I was able to save the other dog and we didn’t have to make a police report.
I’m sure she would have tried to do the same thing to the big cat. She may not have been completely successful against a cat of 130 pounds and she may have died, but she would have made the cat regret tangling with her and it wouldn’t have been a good day for either one of them.
The big cat probably wouldn’t have seen her as food anyway. From what I understand, they are predators of opportunity. Small dogs are on the menu.
If I lived in that area, I wouldn’t let my dog out without being there with a pistol.
Two rescuers reached the hiker around 2 a.m. Friday and found the person was “immobile due to an impalement of the foot by a tent stake,” Burke SAR wrote on Facebook.
Rescuers and EMS crews “slowly and safely” helped the hiker down the mountain and got the person out of the woods by 10:30 a.m., officials said.
How on earth does one impale their foot by a tent stake when camping? Anyway, don’t do that.
