Both open and concealed carry of firearms will be prohibited in all village buildings, including bathrooms at park shelters, the West Baraboo Village Board agreed Thursday.
Village Clerk Mary Klingenmeyer asked board members to ban concealed guns from village-owned buildings. She noted the board could not ban firearms from open areas of village parks.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
So, if you go to Baraboo armed, you better not have to go...
Stupid law, it's only effect will be to inconvenience law-abiding folks exercising their rights.
Boycott West Baraboo? My email to Maryklingenmeyer@villageofwestbaraboo.us:
Hello,
Please be advised that I will be sure to avoid West Baraboo when it comes to purchasing anything, next time I travel up Route 12 on my way to visit friends.
Banning open or concealed carry in a park bathroom, when by law you cannot do so in the PARK, just demonstrates a petty, vengeful spirit of a petty pocket dictator mindset.
Thanks for helping ensure West Baraboo parks will be innocent of law-abiding folks who just happen to be carrying their choice of emergency protective equipment. Perhaps Baraboo is more freedom-friendly.

Osama's choice for Director of Counterterrorism
L Neil Smith has an interesting take on her:
 |   THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE Number 632, August 14, 2011 "Planned and controlled genocide"— She wants you dead!
by L. Neil Smith lneil@netzero.com  Attribute to L. Neil Smith's The Libertarian Enterprise The most dangerous and successful conspiracies take place in public, in plain sight, under the clear, bright light of day—usually with TV cameras focused on them.Meet Ilse Koch, the so-called "Beast of Buchenwald", wife of Karl Otto Koch, Kommandant of that notorious slaughterhouse, and later of Majdanek in Poland. When we were little boys, growing up in the shadow of World War II, my classmates and I, as little boys will, tried to make each other shudder over the gory details of the woman's sadistic cruelties to Jewish concentration camp prisoners. Most infamously, she is the one accused of making lampshades from the preserved skin of her murdered victims. It's said she preferred sections with interesting tattoos. Koch was imprisoned for the rest of her life for having done what she did. Eventually she committed suicide in 1967 at the age of 60. Many more Nazis like her were hanged, as she probably should have been. But what would we do today—and how would the media react—if somebody were to travel around the country delivering passionate, and repulsively well-received speeches in defense of Ilse Koch, demanding that what she did be done again, as a matter of government policy? You think you know, don't you? Meet Audrey Tomason. Reportedly Barack Obama's Director for Counterterrorism, the diminutive 30-something Tomason is said by Wikipedia to be "one of the most secretive women in U.S. intelligence circles", so much so that her master's thesis, written while attending Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, is now classified by the U.S. government as top-secret, as reprehensible a violation of academic principles as possible. +++++++++++++++++ Read the whole thing. |

Did we just get shafted - again?
Remember the "Firearm Owners' Protection Act" passed in 1986, and signed by President Reagan?
That "protection" removed the right of the common citizen to ever again invent a better machine gun, and prohibited the future licensing of Class III weapons to citizens - so all the automatic weapons out there right now are all there ever will be - unless the law gets repealed. A last-minute amendment by Rep. William J. Hughes (D-N.J. - what did you expect?) did the dirty work.
Well the budget "compromise" has created a "super committee" with unlimited power. An email from Gun Owners of America:
Well, the hot debate which dominated the nation for several weeks has finally simmered down. The debt ceiling deal is now law, and both sides of the political aisle are arguing over who won and who lost.
But one thing you won’t hear about -- in fact, we may not fully know the answer for several months -- is how much gun owners lost in this recent deal.
To quote Kentucky Senator Rand Paul from earlier this week:
And none of it can be filibustered or amended!!
Well, you might think, the Super Congress’ recommendations still have to be voted on by each house of Congress. Surely, we can find enough congressmen to shoot down any anti-gun recommendations.
Maybe, maybe not ... because here’s the problem. Whatever this super-committee reports in November, including gun control, will HAVE to be passed -- or the Pentagon loses a total of $800 billion (effectively shutting it down).
How many pro-gun congressmen will feel they have to “hold their noses” and vote for the Super Congress’ legislation to prevent a total of $800 billion from being cut from the Department of Defense?
The key will be who gets appointed to this Super Committee. Senator Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi will pick six members -- as will House Speaker John Boehner and Senator Mitch McConnell, for a total of 12 members.
But if the six Pelosi/Reid Democrats can cower a single Republican into going along with their radical agenda -– using the threat of a massive defense cut totaling hundreds of billions of dollars -– then we could be stuck with additional gun control.
We already know that the six Pelosi/Reid Democrats are going to vote in lockstep. What if the only Republican vote they need is a RINO like John McCain or Lamar Alexander?
The question answers itself.
By the way, this debt ceiling deal was not a compromise. A real compromise would have repealed the anti-gun ObamaCare law which (in addition to being a trillion dollar boondoggle) will compile everyone’s health-related medical records into a massive computer database. This centralized information could allow the FBI to determine whether any American has a medical condition justifying a gun ban.
Please check and see how your Representative and Senators voted, and make a point to speak to them during the summer recess.
ACTION: Your representative and senators will be holding town hall meetings in August. Attend them. Speak at them.
Tell your representative and senators, politely but firmly, that you are disgusted by Congress’ debt limit “compromise.”
TALKING POINTS:
1. There is NOTHING in the debt ceiling deal which prevents the Super Committee from including other issues like gun control in its legislation. (The Super Committee has virtually unlimited authority under subparagraph 401(b)(3)(A)(i).)
2. Whatever the Super Committee puts in the bill is unamendable and non-filibusterable. In other words, the House and Senate must conduct an up-or-down vote on the Super Committee’s legislation.
3. You have put a gun to the head of every congressman by forcing them to choose between devastating Defense Department cuts ($800 billion in total) or blindly adopting the Super Committee’s legislation, which could include gun control, tax increases, etc.
4. This debt ceiling deal was not a compromise. A real compromise would have repealed the anti-gun ObamaCare law which (in addition to being a trillion dollar boondoggle) will compile everyone’s health-related medical records into a massive computer database. This centralized information could allow the FBI to determine whether any American has a medical condition justifying a gun ban.
5. IF YOUR REP. OR SENATOR VOTED “YES” ON THE DEBT CEILING, THEN ASK HIM THIS: Considering the fact that two-thirds of the American people support a “cut, cap and balance” approach, why would you vote for a debt ceiling bill that could, ultimately, strap me with additional gun control proposals?
The key to winning public policy battles
Why do Republicans seem to keep losing? GOA founder and chairman Sen. H.L "Bill" Richardson (Ret.) answers that question in the book "Confrontational Politics."
During 22 years of legislative experience, Sen. Richardson found that the only thing that got things done was confrontation.
Democrats typically understand confrontation, like it and use it. Conversely, Republicans do not understand confrontation, don't like it and flee from it.
Readers of "Confrontational Politics" will understand the keys to political victory and also learn about the lobbying philosophy that has earned GOA's reputation as the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington.

But one thing you won’t hear about -- in fact, we may not fully know the answer for several months -- is how much gun owners lost in this recent deal.
To quote Kentucky Senator Rand Paul from earlier this week:
Get that? The law raising the debt ceiling creates a Super Committee (in other words, a Super Congress) which will give its recommendations for balancing the budget. This Super Congress can include ANYTHING in its legislation, including gun control.The Super Committee [created by the new law] limits the constitutional check of the filibuster by expediting passage of bills with a simple majority. The Super Committee is not precluded from any issue [including gun control], therefore the filibuster could be rendered moot.
And none of it can be filibustered or amended!!

Want an FFL?
It's easy. Just fill out this form:
ATF F 5310.12 (Form 7) — Application for Federal Firearm License (FFL)
You have to send a copy of your completed form to your local police chief or sheriff. You also have to certify that you conform to all local laws and regulations, so if your community bans home businesses, forget getting an FFL unless you can find and afford a suitable commercial zoned site. You also must intend to be operating a for-profit business - hobbyists are not invited.
(Individuals and collectors CAN get a "C&R" license, with similar paperwork - and then can only get "curio and relic" guns - not anything modern.)
Then fill out this one:
ATF F 5330.20 — Certification of Compliance - stating that you are a citizen of the USA. Why this is duplicated on the "Form 7" is beyond me.
Then fill out two FD–258 fingerprint cards for every "responsible person":
Get some 2″ x 2″ passport pictures for every "responsible person":
Send them some money. For a garden-variety FFL, it's $200.00.
Once all this is done, you can expect to wait up to 60 days to get your paper license. It's good for three years. If you violate any of the thousands of (illegal) gun laws on the books, expect at the least crippling lawyer bills, if not free room and board courtesy of Uncle Sam.
The ATF website is innocent of any links to the form to renew an FFL, so I had to inquire of my local office in Milwaukee. Lucky for me, the renewal process omits photos and fingerprints.
And the antis still complain it's too easy to get hold of guns...

Proofreading is important
Interesting selection of aircraft that never made it past R&D here - but this one caught my prooofreader's eye:
Convair XFY Pogo
Convair’s XFY Pogo looks a lot like a combination between the X-13 Vertijet and the XF-85 Goblin. The Pogo had three wings arranged as a triangle, and three-bladed rotating propellers
It was an experiment in vertical takeoff and landing. The plane was known as a tailsitter because it launched and landed on its tail. Its developers believed that this would make it possible to operate them from small warships.
Issues with the Pogo’s design prevented it from leaving the testing phase. Because it was so lightweight and had no spoilers, it lacked the ability to slow down and stop efficiently after moving at high speeds.
Landing also turned out to be a problem. The pilot had to look back behind himself during a landing to properly stabilize the craft. So like the Aerocycle, the Pogo could only be flown by the most experienced pilots.
I may be nitpicking, but "three wings arranged as a triangle" right under a photo showing two wings and two stabilizers, and "three-bladed rotating propellers". I think she meant "counter-rotating".

Also, not many aircraft have the ability to "stop", except for helicopters and VTOL. Light weight would make it easier to shed speed, one would think. I would also posit that a pilot provided with a couple of level indicators and a low-power rear-facing radar to give height above ground would have made landing reasonably easy...
Who's surprised?
Osama got his credit line increase, and the stock markets dive. Who woulda thunk it? Just because we are spending more than we take in now, why should anyone not trust our finances?
This guy has a heck of a re-election strategy. Perhaps the MSM will pull a rabbit out of a hat in September or October, 2012? Another 9/11? Another war? Invasion from Mars?
Wait a minute - the guy in the White House is so clueless, he might just BE from Mars...

Babes with Bullets
H/t Another Gun Blog
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed a concealed carry bill late last week, making Wisconsin the 49th state to allow trained, law-abiding citizens the right to carry concealed firearms.
And this means that Illinois is the only state without such a law. In Illinois, our Chicago aldermen can carry guns in their purses and even in ankle holsters, and criminals obviously carry guns, since breaking the law is what they do.
But the rest of us, the chumbolone law-abiding taxpayers, can't carry.
A few dozen women with Smith & Wesson handguns learning how to get lethal, with the help of top female shooters and instructors in firearm safety.
And so I spent a recent afternoon with a group called Babes with Bullets, hosted by the Oak Park Sportsmen's Club in Plainfield, where sisters, mothers, daughters and friends learned how to shoot safely and well.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Kass mentions 49 states have concealed carry now, but neglects the fact that ten states are still "may issue", meaning that you have to be a good friend of a politician or otherwise connected, or you don't get a permit. NYC is notorious for this.
http://www.handgunlaw.us/ has a slightly dated map of states where the Constitution still means something.

I'm not desperate to carry a gun, but the fact that Illinois has exempted its citizens from the Individual Rights Sweepstakes is so constitutionally depressing that there's only one sight that could cheer me up:

Canadians can see the truth
Despite a cowardly Congress, a grassroots political rebellion is brewing
Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare to defend America – As the scam unravels
In Barack Hussein Obama’s America, ordinary Americans exercising their Constitutional rights are considered “terrorists”, simply because they oppose his radical agenda.Obama’s contempt for us knows no bounds. His plan to suppress us is no longer constrained by the Constitution and the rule of law. Or so he hopes.
Although Obama is trying to empty Guantánamo Bay of real terrorists, it is still too small for Obama to house the millions of Americans who now realize that he is an illegal President and has committed felonies both before and after occupying the White House.

Seems like the Canadians have a clearer view of America than many Americans - but the number is rising...
A Canadian speaks out
It's from the '70's, but it sure sounds like it could be written today. Go listen.
