Heller.............
Affirmed more to come

Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm.
http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/07-290.pdf
Quoting the syllabus: The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
Of course that does not mean the fight is over:
Washington, D.C. - Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Center and Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, issued the following statement:“Our fight to enact sensible gun laws will be undiminished by the Supreme Court’s decision in the Heller case. While we disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling, which strips the citizens of the District of Columbia of a law they strongly support, the decision clearly suggests that other gun laws are entirely consistent with the Constitution.
So the NRA, GOA, & the other gun rights groups will still need help & support
http://blog.robballen.com/archive/2008/06/26/The-Battle-Cry.aspx
From SAF: “But this fight is hardly over,” Gottlieb concluded. “Today’s ruling is a stepping stone, the foundation upon which we can rebuild this important individual right. Our work has only just begun.”

Want to bet there was a NO GUNS policy?
So those that obey the rules were unarmed, & the wrongdoer didn't care about the rules

Good News, or High Hopes?
So, that’s a good sign for advocates of a strong individual rights conception of the Second Amendment and a bad sign for D.C.

No need for a settlement
If they had been able to defend themselves they wouldn't be dead, & there wouldn't be a settlement. But sheep seem to be willing to put their wellbeing in others hands.

Sheep can't do much
The story has been all over the net about the guy stomping & beating his 2 yr old son to death, how 10 people stood by & did very little to stop the man or his attack.
But sheep lack the tools & the training, & they really don't have the stomach for violence.
Very few do, the wolves, jackals and the hyenas, because they know what they want can be taken by force, and the sheep are for the most part helpless to stop it.
That's where sheepdogs come in, but states like California detest sheepdogs, they want the police to handle it.
But don't blame the sheep, they can learn & they can train and perhaps be better prepared the next time. But they have to be willing to come over to the dog side, & some just can't do it.
Last week a boyscout camp got hit by a tornado, but instead of acting like a bunch of frightened children, the scouts did what they were trained to do give first aid, recover the dead & wounded, but without the training they would have been a bunch of scared kids & more of them might have died..
We are only overwhelmed when we don't know what to do.
If you are wanting to loose the wool & grow some fangs go read "ON COMBAT" by Dave Grossman
The Book will help you gain the knowledge, you have to develop the attitude, & pick a direction to get training in the skills you will need.
Then you won't be the one, wishing they could have done something

Obama wants payroll tax on incomes above $250,000
The 6.2 percent payroll tax is now applied to all income up to $102,000 a year, which covers the entire amount for most Americans. Under Obama's plan, the tax would not apply to incomes between that amount and $250,000. But all annual income above the quarter-million-dollar amount would be taxed under his plan. From the AP
So you will be taxed if you make up to $102,000, or over $250,000 #1 I'm not sure anyone I know even makes $100,000 a year # 2 I certainly don't.
So is Barack Don't ask Questions Obama, is defining the middle class as those that make over $100k a year, & would like the poor & the rich to support them. I can see why people who make the kind of money might have hope & want change. But if you are a poor working stiff, making under $40 a year, you'll just pay more baby.
Of course for those that make over $250k a year they can likely absorb the increase slightly better, but isn't there a cap on what SS pays? So won't they pay more to collect less?

Why I'm not voting for Obama-rama
It is not because Barack "don't mention my wife" Obama is unpatriotic and a Muslim.
I'm not voting for him because he is an ass.
He can not fix global warming, nor save the planet, he can not do what he promises, & we will dam sure be hoping for change if he is elected.
What was it? Fred Thompson just made to much sense???

Change coming soon
From www.buckeyefirearms.org here is a summary of the changes in SB184.
For all law-abiding citizens (Not just gun owners)
Castle Doctrine: If someone breaks into your occupied home or temporary habitation, or your occupied car, you have an initial presumption that you may act in self defense. The prosecutors may overcome this presumption if illegal activity was happening or other extenuating circumstances, such as a husband and wife domestic violence situation.
Civil Immunity: Crime victims will be immune from civil actions from their attackers and their families for actions that cause a criminal to be harmed or killed.
Now, when the Act becomes law, and as long as there are not any extenuating circumstances, the case ENDS and the healing begins. No hauling off to jail. No worries about criminal trial and the whims of a jury. No civil suit from the bad guy’s family.
Duty to Retreat: A person who is lawfully in their residence or vehicle has no "duty to retreat" before using force in self-defense or defense of another.
For all gun owners:
Definition of a "loaded" gun.
SB184 will eliminate all the vague "ready at hand" language that has been bastardized in our courts and provide a simple way you can be sure you can legally transport your firearm. Simply put, the gun must be unloaded. An unloaded gun has no bullet in the chamber or cylinder. You may not have any loaded speed loaders or magazines for the gun in question anywhere in the motor vehicle. There are no longer any rules about where the gun or the ammo must be, or their relation to each other.
Section 2923.16 will be the only section controlling firearms transported in cars. Restrictions in other sections will apply outside of vehicles.
Carrying concealed weapons in one's own home will not require a concealed handgun license (CHL).
If a gun is seized and later ordered to be returned to the owner, and the police refuse to return the property and legal action is successful in getting property returned, it is mandatory that legal fees be reimbursed.
Concealed Handgun License (CHL) changes:
A CHL holder will be permitted to carry in a government owned building that is not a government facility where business is generally conducted. A CHL will be able to posses firearms in government owned parking garages, rest areas, and shelters. Carry in a BMV is prohibited.
The criminal penalty for a CHL carrying in a "no guns" parking lot is eliminated. The property owner retains a cause for an action for civil trespass.
A CHL holder will be permitted to pick-up/ drop-off a child in a the designated area of a school safety zone.
A CHL holder will be permitted to carry in retail facilities that sell alcohol for consumption off premises. (Giant Eagle, Wal-Mart, carry-out) as long as the license holder is not consuming alcohol and is not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The holder of a liquor permit for consumption on premises who has a CHL will be permitted to carry in his/her own establishment, and will be permitted to hire police to provide security, including inside the liquor establishment.
Sealed and expunged records will no longer be disqualifying offenses and will not preclude persons from obtaining an Ohio CHL.
If a person fails to notify a police officer that they are armed during an official stop, and the license holder can prove that the officer had information that he was a CHL, the penalty will be reduced. NOTE: It is still required to notify police that you are armed and this change does NOT change or reduce your obligation to inform law enforcement when you are armed.
A CHL holder will be permitted to have a loaded handgun in an unlocked glove compartment and a center console in an automobile.
A landlord may not evict a tenant for owning a lawful firearm or possessing a concealed carry license.
The requirement for a written test during the re-qualification process is eliminated. A practical test is still required.

Blogging has been light
Spent the entire past weekend teaching pistol classes, & then Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday
attended the 3 day "Street Crimes" Seminar in Cincinnati. So I've been a bit busy.
So I missed covering the mass stabbing in Japan, 17 victims, but it hardly did a blip on the rader screen, now if that sucker could have just got his hands on an AK47 then we would still be hearing about it.

Shame it happened but the response was outstanding
"We knew that we need to place tourniquets on wounds that were bleeding too much. We knew we need to apply pressure and gauze. We had first-aid kits, we had everything," he said.
http://apnews.myway.com//article/20080612/D918J01O0.html
They not only had the equipment they needed, but they also had the training to use it, very cool.
"They knew what to do, they knew where to go, and they prepared well,"
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080613/D9195O6G0.html
It is the same with self defense, if you do not train & prepare, you will be relying on luck rather than skill, & if you are unprepared more likely to panic, with the training they saved their fellow scouts, instead of waiting for the professionals to get there.
A lot like calling 911 & the police are only minutes away....

June 6th 1944
June 6 marks the 64th Anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Normandy on D-Day. Please take a moment to recall one of our country's finest hours and the sacrifices made by our greatest generation to liberate Europe . . .
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Address to Allied Forces – June 6, 1944
"Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces:
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
President Ronald Reagan's Point du Hoc & Normandy Speeches – June 6, 1984
"These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war."
"We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free."

Bruce Siddle will be joining Dave Grossman in Columbus
Will you be ready when you're faced with a deadly threat?
The bad guys are out there. They're assaulting, raping, and murdering your fellow citizens every day. And when you least expect it, they could choose you and your family as their next victims. Will you be ready?
Don't be fooled. Having a gun gives you an edge. But a gun is only as powerful as the mind that controls it. Without the proper mindset, without having the mental tools to survive when absolutely everything goes wrong, you're nothing but a sheep with a firearm.
But now you can prepare yourself for the worst and be ready to survive a lethal force encounter. On September 27, you will have the rare opportunity to bullet-proof your mind with one of the world's leading authorities on human aggression and violent crime.
Buckeye Firearms Association is honored to present Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in an intense, one-day mind training workshop called The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens.
Date: September 27th, 2008 - 8:45 am to 5:00 pm
Location: Columbus Grotto Temple, 3790 Agler Road, Columbus, OH 43219
Cost: $99 per attendee / $79 for spouses and teens.
WARNING: Lt. Col. Grossman will speak bluntly and graphically about violence and lethal self-defense. This event is recommended for adults and mature teens only. Seats are strictly limited and are selling quickly.
Take your self-defense preparation to the next level ... and learn mental skills for even the worst lethal force encounter!
You've rehearsed shooting an attacker, but have you mentally prepared for being shot? You know how to fight when everything goes right, but do you know the steps to take when everything goes wrong? Because it almost certainly will!
Your worst enemy isn't the thug about to beat you with a tire iron. Your worst enemy is denial. Denial that you will actually be attacked. Denial that your body will shake and your hands will tremble. Denial that you will hesitate at the final moment to do what needs to be done.
But now you can prepare for your worst nightmare and be ready when it happens. Ready to take direct hits and keep on fighting. Ready to recognize the signs of threat and take control fast and hard. Ready to make that terrible but necessary decision when your life or the lives of your loved ones are at stake.
It's not about bravery. It's about mental preparation. Col. Grossman says, "Denial kills you physical, mentally, and financially. It has no survival value. Chew it up, spit it out, get rid of it. This is the moment of truth. No more denial. Rid yourself of every ounce."
Get ready for fast-paced, hard-core training.
The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens will show you ...
4 secrets true warriors know about being prepared for a life or death encounter. Hint: None of them involve caliber or holster selection.
How criminals think, the "tells" they're looking for in a victim, and how you can deter attackers by being the "wrong kind" of target.
The scientific reality of how your body will respond to combat (it isn't pretty) and the steps you can take now to make sure it doesn't overwhelm you.
The startling lesson that Columbine and 9-11 SHOULD have taught us and what it means for our children.
The bizarre and riveting story the newspapers won't tell you about how one of President Reagan's Secret Service agents took a .22 round and collapsed because he was "taught" to fall down, even though he wasn't seriously injured.
Which popular source of combat information is absolutely, positively wrong about nearly everything, from how you hold a gun to what happens when a body is hit by a bullet.
How being a "macho man" doesn't make you tough, won't scare your attacker, and could get you killed.
The harsh and politically incorrect truth about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder -- why it happens, who it happens to, and one simple way you can avoid it no matter what happens.
The popular American sport that lets you rehearse the reality of killing and is proven to be the ultimate "predator neuron training" for combat. And no, it's not "paint ball."
How faith gives you the personal power you need to control your fear, keep your priorities straight, and overcome overwhelming odds.
The frightening and unspeakable truth about terrorism and school violence in America: what causes it, what's going to happen soon, and what you can do about it now.
Get the best mind training in America from the leading authority on violence and combat!
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is an internationally recognized scholar, author, soldier, and speaker who is one of the world's foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the roots of violence and violent crime. He is the author of On Killing, a groundbreaking book nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and required reading for U.S. Marines and FBI trainees.
A former Airborne Ranger infantry officer and paratrooper, Grossman has over 23 years experience in leading U.S. soldiers worldwide. In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he is on the road almost 300 days a year, training elite military and law enforcement organizations worldwide about the reality of combat.
Lt. Col. Grossman is a West Point psychology professor, Professor of Military Science, and founder of a new field of scientific endeavor called “killology.” He has made revolutionary new contributions to our understanding of killing, the psychological costs of war, the causes of the "virus" of violent crime around the world, and the process of healing victims of violence.
He has been an expert witness and consultant in state and Federal courts, including serving on the prosecution team in UNITED STATES vs. TIMOTHY MCVEIGH. He helped train mental health professionals after the Jonesboro school shootings, and he was also involved in counseling or court cases in the aftermath of the Paducah, Springfield, and Littleton school shootings. He has testified before U.S. Senate and Congressional committees and numerous state legislatures, and he has been cited in a national address by the President of the United States.
This isn't a polite chat about mindset. Col. Grossman speaks vividly, bluntly, and from personal experience about how unprepared people really are in our society.
On sheep vs. sheep dogs:"Sheep have only two speeds: graze and stampede. They quickly sink back into denial. At Virginia Tech nobody put up a fight. They waited to die. The only survival trick they knew was 'freeze'. Once upon a time, America was full of sheep dogs. Now we're raising a nation of sheep."
On surviving gunshots:"If the threat is no longer viable, and if you've been shot, get yourself out of the line of fire. Don't make your friends expose themselves to get to you. If the threat remains, stop the threat. You can take a bullet to the heart and have 5 to 7 seconds before you will be out of combat. You're not dead! Keep going!"
On school shootings:"The Virginia Tech mass-murderer chose the building he attacked because it had no ground-floor windows and only three double-doors that could be chained from the inside. How many kids have to die before every class has two exits and a securable door? If teachers can be fired for failure to do fire drills, how much more mean and ugly should we be to those who refuse to prepare for violence?"
On concealed carry:"Armed Citizens are the militia. Integrate concealed-handgun license-holders into your plan. We are at war. The idea that cops can do it all themselves is wrong. Use what is available to you. Integrate them into your plan from the beginning. One or two people in the first few minutes are worth 1000 people hours later."
On training for violence:"Firefighters face fire to train so we must face stress and fear. Through force-on-force training. The first time you go through a force-on-force scenario, your heart rate can jump to over 200 beats per minute. The more you do it, the more your heart rate comes down. Inoculation to fear is the key."
Others spend thousands for this level of training. You may never have another chance to prepare yourself so well for such a low price!
No matter what sort of training you've had, you've never experienced anything like The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens.
Lt. Col. Grossman is in great demand and charges thousands for his all-day mind training sessions. And they're worth every penny since no price is too high for survival or for protecting your family. But you have a unique opportunity to get a full day with Lt. Col. Grossman for just $99, only $79 for spouses and mature teens. (Earlybird price just $79, or $59 for spouses and teens until March 31.)
Proceeds benefit Buckeye Firearms Association. That means you can get the mental training you need AND advance the gun rights and freedom of every Ohioan. Bring your whole family. It's the gift of strength and life.
If a school is attacked by an "active shooter," will your child lay down like a sheep at slaughter ... or fight back with every ounce of physical and mental strength?
If your spouse is attacked in the parking lot on the way home from work, will it end up as another bad story on the news ... or the rare story of survival in the face of death?
If you are jumped by three gang members intent on cutting your throat, will you panic and "lose it" ... or will you fight through the pain and fear to survive against overwhelming odds?
The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens can prepare you and your family to be strong in any situation. You will learn how to be the sheepdog instead of the sheep.
Bruce Siddle is an internationally recognized as an expert in the study of combat human factors, survival human factors and use of force training. Mr.Siddle is often credited as the pioneer who initiated the study of survival stress and how it impacts the performance of law enforcement officers, military personnel and combat aviators. His pivotal research into the influence of the Sympathetic Nervous System on perceptual processing, cognitive processing, motor performance and memory, is now widely incorporated in all facets of use of force and survival skills training. Just as importantly, Mr. Siddle research is routinely used to help defending law enforcement personnel against charges of excessive force.
Many of us from Buckeye Firearms Association will be there. We hope to see YOU there too.
Hurry, we expect this event to fill up fast.
Sincerely,

What? you didn't sign up? Why not?
Will you be ready when you're faced with a deadly threat?
The bad guys are out there. They're assaulting, raping, and murdering your fellow citizens every day. And when you least expect it, they could choose you and your family as their next victims. Will you be ready?
Don't be fooled. Having a gun gives you an edge. But a gun is only as powerful as the mind that controls it. Without the proper mindset, without having the mental tools to survive when absolutely everything goes wrong, you're nothing but a sheep with a firearm.
But now you can prepare yourself for the worst and be ready to survive a lethal force encounter. On September 27, you will have the rare opportunity to bullet-proof your mind with one of the world's leading authorities on human aggression and violent crime.
Buckeye Firearms Association is honored to present Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in an intense, one-day mind training workshop called The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens.
Date: September 27th, 2008 - 8:45 am to 5:00 pm
Location: Columbus Grotto Temple, 3790 Agler Road, Columbus, OH 43219
Cost: $99 per attendee / $79 for spouses and teens.
WARNING: Lt. Col. Grossman will speak bluntly and graphically about violence and lethal self-defense. This event is recommended for adults and mature teens only. Seats are strictly limited and are selling quickly.
Take your self-defense preparation to the next level ... and learn mental skills for even the worst lethal force encounter!
You've rehearsed shooting an attacker, but have you mentally prepared for being shot? You know how to fight when everything goes right, but do you know the steps to take when everything goes wrong? Because it almost certainly will!
Your worst enemy isn't the thug about to beat you with a tire iron. Your worst enemy is denial. Denial that you will actually be attacked. Denial that your body will shake and your hands will tremble. Denial that you will hesitate at the final moment to do what needs to be done.
But now you can prepare for your worst nightmare and be ready when it happens. Ready to take direct hits and keep on fighting. Ready to recognize the signs of threat and take control fast and hard. Ready to make that terrible but necessary decision when your life or the lives of your loved ones are at stake.
It's not about bravery. It's about mental preparation. Col. Grossman says, "Denial kills you physical, mentally, and financially. It has no survival value. Chew it up, spit it out, get rid of it. This is the moment of truth. No more denial. Rid yourself of every ounce."
Get ready for fast-paced, hard-core training.
The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens will show you ...

Very Good Question:
If more government control and less civil liberties mean increased safety, why aren’t our prisons the safest places in the country?

They were suppose to feel safe
"I was scared, didn't know what to do, wasn't nothing to do but run and sit down somewhere get safe. There were kids that were crying. We shouldn't have to see nothing like that."

Of course concealed carry is prohibited
