Beware: ‘Assault Rifle’ Shoots OK Hunter Twice and Throws Him Out of Tree Stand

November 23, 2018 by Kat Ainsworth Stevens

Oklahoma News 4 puts a rather blatant slant on a Thanksgiving Day hunting accident in a story they titled ‘Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Warns Against Hunting with Assault Rifles.’ Granted it would have helped if the DNR/DoW guy they interviewed hadn’t also thrown around the phrase “assault rifle” like it was pepper on mashed potatoes. … Read more

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Leroy Mason

May 3, 2018 by Dan Zimmerman

Why is it that smoke alarms always beep in the middle of the night? It never happens on a Saturday afternoon, when grabbing a ladder and a replacement battery is no problem. Then there are the overly-sensitive kind that beep if you let the bacon go two minutes too long. That seems to be the … Read more

April 12, 2018 by Dan Zimmerman

Since the Parkland shooting, many teachers have decided that passive resistance and relying on someone else to provide school security is no longer an option. Hundreds of them nationwide have received training as districts decide to allow teachers to defend themselves and their students from potential shooters using firearms. So you’ll probably understand why advocates of … Read more

October 15, 2017 by Dan Zimmerman

There are few things more frustrating than car problems. You have an appointment, need to pick up a child…whatever…and the old flivver conks out, just when you needed it most. That’s apparently what happened to Tyrell Staten of Kansas City back in February. But unlike calling a friend for a ride or dialing AAA for … Read more

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: D.C. Park Policeman

November 5, 2016 by John Boch

So you’re a park policeman. They give you a badge, a gun, and hopefully at least a little rudimentary training on things one might encounter in a park. Like critters. One U.S. Park Police officer, last name unknown, shot himself while trying to remove a furry little raccoon attached to his leg yesterday while working … Read more

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Ed Deubler

Okay, so you’re gonna fly the (un)friendly skies. And you’re planning on taking along a firearm. You call the airline to make sure you follow procedures. You learn that you must have the weapon unloaded, in a hard-sided, lockable box, which you keep locked. The airline folks have to inspect it, after which you lock it and it goes into checked baggage. Okay. Nothing out of the ordinary there. You get to the airport that serves the City That Care Forgot (or if you’re a native, The City That Doesn’t Give a Damn), and you put your gun case on the counter for inspection. So far so good. Then, the gun goes off. Whoopsie!

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Mardis Gras Edition.

March 8, 2011 by ttag

Today is Mardi Gras. (Frenchy French for “Fat Tuesday.”) For those of you who are unfamiliar, it’s the holiday we celebrate in the South, commemorating the day before Ash Wednesday – which marks the beginning of the 40 days and nights of the Lenten season. (Me, I’m planning on giving up taking any Liberal seriously. Should be cathartic.) It’s an excuse to laissez les bon temps roulez one last time before everybody has to behave themselves in the run-up to Easter. In Shreveport, as in most of the rest of Louisiana, we are treated to a series of parades and balls, staged by “Krewes” – essentially social clubs who’s purpose is to stage Mardis Gras events. The New Orleans parades are the stuff of legend, and a huge security headache. Shreveport’s parades…not so much. But this year’s Krewe of Gemini was not incident-free. Hence this story from 710KEEL.com:
