Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. -- MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.-- Moshe Ben-David

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

Interesting How Little Media Attention THIS Gets, Isn't It?


Seen on several blogs, comes this bit of news: Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski, New 'No License Required' CCW Law, and No permit needed to carry concealed guns.

It seems that we now have two states that have no requirement for a permit to carry concealed.

Did NBC, CBS, or ABC cover it? CNN? MSNBC? Fox News? The Yahoo! Gun Control Page?

No.

Just one little Associated Press story in the Anchorage Daily News, and coverage on the gun rights forums and on gun bloggers pages.

Interesting, no? Minnesota just goes through histrionics to pass permitted concealed carry, and it's NATIONAL NEWS! Colorado makes gun regulation unform across the state, and it's covered everywhere! But Alaska passes "Vermont Carry" and *YAWN*. Damn, isn't anyone outraged? Even JoinTogether hasn't had anything to say on this - yet.

Perhaps they're hoping none of us in the flyover states will notice.

Oh, and doesn't Minnesota make it 35 states with either no permit required or "shall-issue" concealed-carry?
