My wife and I walked into the credit union the other day, only to be greeted with a sign requesting ("for our safety," of course) that we remove sunglasses, hoods, etc.

"Home of the brave," indeed.

I think I'm going to stop noting signals of the coming death of the American Experiment.

Why bother?
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

It's amazing how few Americans even notice that their rights are slowly being stripped and pissed on.

But hey, as long as Tebow is playing on Sunday right?
This is a placeholder

meh.
Large gatherings like the SB are potentially prime targets for terrorists. If the police were not ready people would be screaming that the police were lazy and too busy eating donuts at their SB parties.

I am sure they have the same kind of set up at the World Cup Finals. I bet there was even extra security for the recent Real Madrid and Barcelona match.

If one of those snipers had gotten excited and misinterpreted a threat (which we all know never happens, right?), and an innocent child had ended up dead, would that have been an acceptable price to pay in the name of warding off some nebulous, ill-defined threat of terrorism?

I am sure I have an overly developed distrust of the police that was engendered by my experiences as a child in the homeschooling movement when home education was still "barely legal" -- hiding out in my own house and terrified of every knock on the door -- not to mention honed into outright loathing and revulsion revulsion by the time I spent working with military policemen in an Iraq prison, but I would infinitely rather trust my safety to people like this than put my life in the hands of cops. At least this guy understands the purpose of the 2nd Amendment: "the security of a free state."

Grocery store shooter not charged, speaks about incident

Feb. 3, 2012

Nazir Al-Mujaahid, from Milwaukee, the customer who shot a suspect during an armed robbery at an Aldi grocery store Monday night speaks to the media describing the ordeal, Friday.

The Aldi customer who shot an armed robber in the store Monday won't face any criminal charges, prosecutors confirmed Friday.

Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said the law allows use of reasonable force in threatening situations, regardless of whether the shooter has a concealed weapons permit.

"He disrupted an act that potentially exposed himself and others to great bodily harm," Chisholm said. Video footage from the store showed "he acted reasonably and in a controlled manner during the encounter," Chisholm said.

The customer, Nazir Al-Mujaahid of Milwaukee, held a news conference to discuss the incident. Al-Mujaahid, 35, called it nothing to brag about, but that "sometimes you have to do what you have to do."

Al-Mujaahid said he and his wife stopped at the store, at N. 76th St. and W. Villard Ave., for some last-minute dinner items. They'd never shopped at the store before, he said.

He said they had just walked in when he noticed the suspect approach the cashiers holding up a shotgun with the stock cut off and a bag, demanding money in a very agitated way. Fearing for the safety of himself, his wife and others in the store, he said, he unholstered his semi-automatic 9mm handgun, cocked it and kept it down at his side as he motioned another customer behind the robber to move away.

When the robber turned the shotgun toward him, Al-Mujaahid said, he fired six or seven shots from about 20 feet away. He said he hit the suspect in the leg and forehead. The robber then dropped the shotgun and bag, and fled the store. Police arrested a suspect and an accomplice later. They had not been formally charged as of Friday morning.

The whole process took less than 30 seconds, he estimated. He said he has not seen the store video, but that he was assured by detectives at the scene that he would likely not be charged.

He said he knew from his recent training that you need a clear head, breathe right and "commit to a decision."

Al-Mujaahid, an Internet marketer, said he's always been a gun rights supporter and previously exercised his right to openly carry a firearm. When Wisconsin adopted a concealed carry law last year, he applied for his permit in November. He said he obtained it Jan. 17 or 18.

He said he did not notice the sign at Aldi prohibiting weapons in the store, and that if he had, he would have gone elsewhere. He said since he began to carry a concealed gun, he has stopped from going into other businesses where he did see the sign.

Al-Mujaahid said he hopes the incident will deter other criminals from using guns in areas where law-abiding people may defend themselves.

At the news conference, Al-Mujaahid plugged his new website, ccwadvocates.com. It reads in part:

Learn from Real People like you and me, normal Ordinary Citizens that have awaken the spirit of personal responsibility and freedom that this country was founded upon!

Sign up to hear exclusively from the Man that stopped an Armed Robbery at a Milwaukee Aldi store. Many have called him a hero, we like to call him our brother!

The Michigan company whose firearm and CCW training course Al-Mujaahid took in November was already touting the case on its website Thursday night.

By nature I have a deep-set problem with authority, so it doesn't surprise me that I can't stand cops. I am sure my distrust of the police was nurtured by my experiences as a child in the homeschooling movement when home education was still "barely legal," hiding out in my own house and terrified of every knock on the door. But that innate distrust was honed into outright loathing and revulsion by the time I spent working with military policemen in an Iraq prison. I wasn't very popular with the guards, because I was one of those medics reporting abuse when I saw it. I used to get called "raghead lover" and "sand nigger lover" and all sorts of other choice names by my fellow comrades in arms, just because I insisted on treating all the prisoners as people. The point is, I would infinitely rather trust my safety to people like this than put my life in the hands of cops, so many of whom are no more than goons that think might makes right. At least this guy understands the purpose of the 2nd Amendment: "the security of a free state."

Common now. Are you telling me you would rather be protected by a guy who fires 6 shots (The lower of his estimate) from 20 feet away and only hits the attacker twice, one in the forehead (It must have been a glancing blow from the side.) and the other in the leg. That is quite a pretty big pattern spread.
So you want his protection instead of ol eagle eye Barney?

pfff get real. Barn is so lethal he only needs one bullet. He is such a killing machine that he keeps that bullet in his pocket just to give the perp a chance to live.
