Craig W. spotted this article from San Diego, California: They Carry Guns. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Much like a muscle that atrophies with disuse, any right that goes unexercised for many years devolves into a privilege, and eventually can even be redefined as a crime.

TRUE THAT!

CARRY ON!

Due to some issues with potentially harmful legislation, I am standing down on open carry until August 31.

Carry On.

Escondido Police Department Internal Affairs Letter

The only thing that wasn't mentioned was whether or not these officers were given training on how to not trample the 1A by turning off voice recorders. Officer Martin is very lucky I am even giving him a first chance on this without a civil suit.

Here is the letter.



CARRY ON!

FINALLY! EPD is DONE with my IA investgation!

For those of you that do not know, this letter is in reaction to my 4-7-09 detainment by Escondido Police Department.

Preliminary report:

Nathan,

I just received your complaint back from our police Admin. I am putting an official (form) letter in the mail first thing tomorrow AM. But I wanted to let you know that I found that our officers needed additional training (similar to your El Cajon incident.)

They have received the training and hopefully any further contacts will be shorter and smoother.

My only disclaimer is, all police contacts are unique and fact specific, so there may be additional circumstances that could prolong a detention past the 12031 check.

But if that happens, make sure to let me know and I will look into what happened.

Sincerely,
xxxxxxx

I will post up the letter as soon as I receive it.

CARRY ON!

I have returned and with news

Well, I got back to my house a little while ago after being away for about 4 days and I must say, it is nice to be back in my own room! Unfortunately, I got a little cleaning to do but that isn't so bad.

I worked the Del Mar Gun Show both Saturday and Sunday and I must say that I was pretty stoked at the genuine interest in OC that has arisen due to the SD Reader's article. I had at least 10 people over the two day period actually recognized me and stopped for a chat. Kind of refreshing to see supportive people in person instead of over a computer screen.

The gun show today was particularly fun because a certain Calguns.net favorite, Mollie, came on down for a bit to hang out at our Calguns.net booth. I know that I keep saying that I want to do a Girls and Guns calender but gosh dangit, it has to happen! Mollie and (possibly) her friend Amanda have volunteered to be in it so I am going to scrounge up a few more gun loving hotties for a nice, clean calendar shoot! :)

Here are some photos from the day.

Also, I scanned in the photos used in the SD Reader. The pages are so wide in the Reader that I could not fit everything on the scanner bed so I just did the cover and the four images on the first page.

Also, there are a fair number of sites that are discussing Rosa's article. Here is a list of all the sites I could find in Google within 5 minutes.

That about sums it up for today. Time to organize my life a little bit after 4 days of being away.

CARRY ON!

Del Mar Gun Show

Just saw the SD reader article in actual print for the first time, I am pretty stoked about it! I also got pointed out by a few more people that recognized me from either the article or my blog. That was pretty cool. :)

As far as the show, the place was packed! Ammo has definitely gone up in price, some at least twice that which I am used to paying. I snatched a few $10 boxes of 9mm so I have something to feed the
Hi Power, including three boxes of Fiocchi!

Gotta get another OC meet going here soon, many people have been asking me about it. Once I get the details on the potential Long Beach gathering then I will post it up!

CARRY ON!
