And the band played on.

Hmm here in MO and several other states one does not need a permit nor training to conceal carry. So
law enforcement has no idea if you’re trained or just a yahoo, or even a criminal.

I foresee the George Zimmerman Protection Enhancement Act of 2017, if enacted, being struck down on contact by the courts on state’s rights grounds. (If we still have courts.)

Why not open carry?

Yep. Pretty sure that in Vermont, residence is your permit.

  1. BeattyCat’s logic 
 isn’t; and
  2. BeattyCat’s spelling, there, sucked the big one. (Insert whatever image comes to mind – remember, it’s BC we’re talkin’ 'bout so 
 keep it dirty).

So, if I live in a state that bans open-carry, can I have open-carry banned in every state I visit?

I believe the last time a list was made for the guillotine, it was knitted.

Fuck, that’s a sobering statistic. However, a very large majority of “conservatives” are drunk on a substance that does not allow for sobriety of any kind.

I’ll support this legislation as long as it means any citizen can open carry into state legislatures, the U.S. Congress, and all courtroom buildings at every level.

Great. Just great.

No, not courthouses. I work at one and we are required to go through full security screenings at the entrance along with members of the public. No guns in here.

The whole reason for not having to have a permit to conceal carry is that some folks objected to the cost of the permit and the cost of the training class. So yahoos with guns with no clue should now be MO’s state motto instead of Show Me.

Whoa there, kitty! Do I detect a subtle withdrawal of support for the new Gnu FĂștbol Federation? After I’ve already hired a chef arbitre de football?

Here’s he is signaling scoooooooooooooooooore! (Note: Despite their white beards and studious miens, Wildebeests are notoriously bad with human languages. But they are fluent in GFF semaphore.)

You can see why I hired him.

I’ve heard the dulcet call of the Gnus at sun rise over the Masai Mara.

Never! Those GOP heads need to roll! And be kicked! As much as possible. When done, throw them back into the woods for the other animals to consume them 
 if they have a taste for the blood and meat of lying scum who also likely diddled their own offspring but most definitely others’ offspring down at the local mall.

I’m now thinking double trebuchets; one aimed towards the GFF pitch, the body-side at a pen of ravenous Hyaenidae.


 This raises cause for serious reconsideration, beginning with the naming of the league. 
 Gnu Hyena FĂștbol?

I just know people are going to strip all of the dignity out of this exciting new sport by calling it “Schving-Schveng” or some such. I can just feel it.

BTW: First dibs on selling “Howling Moo” ale at the games.

Well hooey! Why not do what my state, Arizona, did soon after Gabby Giffords, my Congresswoman at the time, was shot. Make it legal to carry your fav weapon into any place alcohol is served. After all what could possibly go wrong?

Just imagine what the tailgating parties will entail. Everything from frying up the meat for your dogs to voodoo, sticking long skewers (or nails) through their eyes, their various other parts or their “whatevers” after praying over the now inanimate vessel pieces – prayers for their “souls” or for the desire they are suffering in their new home, Land of the Dead. I mean, a skewer shoved through your whatever has gotta have a cross-over punch of serious pain 
 and bleeding. The Orange One’s former vessel should be auctioned off to raise funds for the victims of the GOP’s healthcare wars or their blatant ignoring of such needy as those in Puerto Rico. The lucky buyer might need a magnifying glass.

“I don’t believe my right to defend myself should end at the state line,”

You already have that right anywhere. In smart states however you don’t get to act like a loonball conspiracy theorist in the process.
