And non-free advanced training:
As you all know Wisconsin Carry offers FREE concealed carry license training classes all over the state. We strongly advocate for constitutional carry and believe that ultimately, the government should not be mandating training for the right to carry for self-defense. We believe VOLUNTARY training is a "good thing". We also believe that formal paid-for training is only 1 of many methods to increase your self-defense/use of a gun for self-protection skills and experience. There are a multitude of free methods which SHOULD be employed for personal development. Books, DVD's, Online resources, Youtube video's from reputable sources all provide limitless amounts of information you can objectively review, analyze, and adopt into your skillset if you choose. Wisconsin Carry on very rare occasion (once or twice a year) will share unique formal training opportunities with our members and those who have taken our free CCL course IF these formal training opportunities come from sources that support WCI and our mission of CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY for Wisconsin. The following is one of those opportunities. Dominic Ferraro and his "Advanced Protection Group" have been SOLID supporters of Constitutional Carry, VOLUNTARY training and also WCI and our mission and methods with our Free Concealed Carry License Classes. WCI believes the strategic direction of Dominic and APG to offer advanced training on a voluntary basis is a great one and we are happy to share the following opportunity. WCI is not affiliated with APG and we do not receive any financial or other incentive with the following classes but WCI members DO receive a discount from the course fee. This is an ADVANCED class. Any questions should be directed to Dominic Ferraro (608) 218-4636 or www.apgwi.com ---------------------- Calling all armed citizens! APG is hosting a two-day course in central Wisconsin and would love for you to come. This special training program is going to be presented by its founder, Steven Mosley, and is appropriate for both law enforcement officers and armed citizens. This is the first time this is being offered in Wisconsin and we are proud to be having it at our new 5,000 square foot training center! Any member of WCI can use the special discount ($75 off) option when registering.

What good are they?
No-call lists, I mean. I signed up for both the federal and state lists, and I got ten calls from GOP hopefuls yesterday.
A no-call list with exemptions is useless. Like all too many politicians.
In response to calls from Gingrich, Romney, and Santorum, I voted today - for Ron Paul.

Concealed Carry protects lives
Proof:
MILWAUKEE — A would-be victim says his concealed carry gun was the
reason a criminal’s intentions were stopped cold. He says investigators
told him it’s possible the man who tried to rob him Saturday night could
have robbed others this weekend.
Saturday night, March 24th, Danny Black and his girlfriend Julie took the dogs out for a walk. Seven-year-old golden-doodle Chloe was along for the stroll when Black says another person interrupted.
The two were confronted by the driver of a van in the area of 73rd and Courtland. Worrisome words quickly turned into threatening actions. Black says the driver was armed, and tried to rob the two. “He was saying to her, ‘give me the bag, give me the bag.’ It was a semi-automatic and he clicked it like he was loading it,” Black said.
Black says his heart began to pound, but it wasn’t the adrenaline that helped him through. He credits his own firearm. Black has a concealed carry permit, but hoped to never even threaten to use his weapon in public. “Me pulling a gun out saved both of our lives last night. I pointed the gun at him and he said, what was I doing, and just drove off,” Black said.
++++++++
More, and video, at the link.
SO, carrying a gun saved two lives.
No mention in the local paper or news that I have heard.
Too bad the perp escaped, but perhaps he's going to find a new line of work now - or move south to the People's Republik of Ill-Annoys, where he will only have to worry about other criminals with guns.

Cat update
Leo pulled through having his colon flushed out, but currently is being warmed to bring his core temperature up, and will be watched over the weekend. Prognosis "guarded". Chris and I sat with him for a while at the vet's.
We are praying for the little guy.

“I felt that it was necessary to provide information to other people that I do in fact stand for Scott Walker, and when I first started [working] there, these teachers had their recall stickers on their cars. Didn’t bother me one bit,” Taylor said. “Liberal school teachers and liberals in general cannot push the public around when they have different opinions other than theirs.”
Fox and Friends reached out to Taylor’s employer for comment but didn’t hear back.
The custodian has since gone back to work for the same high school. When Steve Doocy asked her if there had been any retribution since her return, Taylor informed him that someone had keyed her car.

Almost missed it!
Earth Hour is Saturday!
Just got the Yamaha running right again - and, I did the responsible thing - new valve seals and some new gaskets, so it doesn't get 100 miles per quart of 20W50 any more. Still needs new plug wires - was missing badly on the left from a loose plug cap.
Of course, I did it for all the wrong reasons - like enjoying a long ride without worrying about running out of oil and wasting my money.
Also fired up the lawn tractor for the first time this season. Going to have all the lights on and engines running again this year, as is tradition.

A stupid person speaks
And proves her ignorance and stupidity.
This stupid female doesn't think past what her handlers tell her. Replace a barrel, firing pin, or some judicious application of a Dremel tool will make the whole thing moot, anyway - except for adding cost to Americans exercising their rights, and violating the Constitution.
"Sensible gun regulation" == control of the people for the benefit of the governing.
These idiots think criminals obey laws. She swears no one will be hurt by her law - and she used to "hunt" - so she's a good guy.
Her last line - "get rid of those damn criminals" - is priceless. The way you do that is by allowing people to defend themselves and their property, and repealing laws that protect violent criminals by disarming the good people.

As usual, it's all Koch's fault
MSNBC’s Karen Finney Says the Koch Brothers Killed Trayvon Martin
Friday, March 23rd at 7:02PM EDT
It shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
But MSNBC decided to make it one. According to Karen Finney on MSNBC, the Koch Brothers, NRA, and other conservatives are responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death.
They have blood on their hands because they apparently built a time machine with their billions and went back to 1789 and inserted the second amendment into the Bill of Rights.
Idiot.

Alternate history
Much has been said about the shooting of a black youth in Florida. It is being used by the left to attack gun rights, conservatives and Republicans, and death threats have been made and abetted by public figures.
But - What if Trayvon had had a CCW?
Interesting read.

Surprise!

Update - the original link, and the one to "www.socialists.com" were taken down - so I fixed this one to go to the proper site.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, litter...
Found on the west edge of our front field:
Someone paid good money for this. And left it out to blow down the road and end up in my prairie grass.
Any guesses how many American recycled pop bottles went into making this? How much fuel oil was used to transport it from the factory to the store?
Exactly how many trees were "saved" by buying this and not using recyclable paper bags?
I'll bet that China used virgin polypropylene to make this. Probably floor sweepings from one of the plants that make the lead-coated toys they ship over here.
The "greenbag" website took over a minute to load the cute flash animation of green grass moving around. How many innocent electrons were enslaved to do that? How many grams of that eevil CO2 were released?

The real reason for Osamacare
So people will never have to work, ever again:
(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Obamacare facilitates the type of “liberation” that the “Founders had in mind” because it allows you to quit your job and become a “photographer,” a “writer,” a “musician”--or “whatever.”
“As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation,” Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday.
“This is what our founders had in mind--ever expanding opportunity for people.
“You want to be a photographer or a writer or a musician, whatever -- an artist, you want to be self-employed, if you want to start a business, you want to change jobs, you no longer are prohibited from doing that because you can’t have access to health care, especially because you do not want to put your family at risk,” she said.
The House Democratic Leader appeared alongisde House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), to celebrate the health care law that was passed two years ago Friday.
