| Lynn, Matt and J.P.'s regular waitress at the Wafflehouse, proudly displays a Guns Save Lives button |
Two customers displaying holstered pistols deterred an armed robbery in a Kennesaw Wafflehouse recently.
There is some debate raging in Georgia about whether people should conceal their holstered handguns while in public. Some believe that wearing handguns openly will result in a loss of the element of surprise during a criminal attack, such as an armed robbery, while others believe that wearing handguns openly deters criminal attack. For Matt Brannan and J.P. Mitchell, who carry openly as a routine, the issue is no longer academic.
Matt Brannan and J.P. Mitchell were dining in the Wafflehouse on Barrett Parkway at I-575 in Kennesaw at 4:45 in the morning recently when a scout for an armed robbery crew entered the restaurant to case it. At the time, Matt and J.P. thought he looked a little suspicious, as he was wandering around the small restaurant like he was looking for someone. Unknown to Matt and J.P., two cars full of armed robbers where parked behind the restaurant waiting for the scout's report.
The scout saw that two of the customers were wearing holstered 1911 Springfield Mil-Spec .45 pistols, and he immediately turned and left the store.

Monday, February 22, the ban on loaded firearms in National Parks will end once more. That is when the rule change goes into effect and National Parks will follow state law in determining what rights visitors are allowed to have. In Ohio, gun rights are not taken away when you enter a park so the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (Ohio's only National Park) as well as the several national wildlife refuges will permit lawfully armed citizens to enjoy the same rights they've had for many years in city parks, county parks, Metroparks, state parks, national forests, etc.
As happens whenever a change to the law occurs which returns gun freedoms, some are predicting dire consequences.

A West Virginia politician has a warning for anti-gun New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Per NYDailyNews.com:
[State Senator Jeffrey Kessler] wants to ban the type of undercover stings that Bloomberg has used to showcase illegal gun sales in other states - and throw the mayor's investigators in jail if necessary...
...Kessler's bill would ban those stings, making a felon out of anyone who "persuades, encourages or entices" a gun dealer to make an illegal sale.
It's about time—or is it? Per Bloomberg press flack Jason Post:
"The city has never broken the law, but we have caught unscrupulous gun dealers selling in violation of federal law," Post said.
Now hold the phone, Mr. Post—either illegal sales were conducted, in which case your guys participated, or they weren't.
Which is it?

 The Appleseed Project is garnering more and more interest and growing rapidly.
For those not familiar with it, Appleseed is a grassroots movement to bringing back the fading art of the rifleman, which they define as "a marksman capable of hitting a man-sized target from 500 yards away" with nothing but a rack grade rifle and sling. Appleseed is a 501(c)3, non-profit, all-volunteer effort that is tasked with Returning America to a Nation of Riflemen.
Appleseed takes students of all ages and their top-notch instructors work to make them "accurate enough to score 'expert' on the Army Qualification Course.
Appleseed seems to offer something for everyone. Firearms expert and professional trainer Massad Ayoob recently attended one of their events and reported the following in his blog.
