Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

There's an App for That

The goal of the project is to make sure that our users are protected against abuse and lies by police, the TSA and other authority figures by capturing the events as they happen and then sharing them so that the whole world can see.  [More]
Just in case you run into one of the few bad apples with authoritah issues...

Null and Void

That concept, called jury nullification, is highly controversial, and courts are hostile to it. But federal prosecutors have now taken the unusual step of having Mr. Heicklen indicted on a charge that his distributing of such pamphlets at the courthouse entrance violates the law against jury tampering. He is to appear in court on Friday for a conference in his case. [More]
Here's to the day when his persecutors will enjoy the benefits of a fully informed jury at their trial.

Yetta Yetta Yetta Goes Yadda Yadda Yadda

By placing those whose job responsibilities might call for firearm licensing (myself, other officers of the court and law enforcement like the Queens DA) alongside glamorous celebrities, you risk portraying guns as inviting, even fashionable...Instead of glamorizing or trivializing guns, I wish your paper would bring attention to important efforts to control gun sales around the country, including the efforts of our Mayor. [More]
Yetta Kurland, professional trained "Only One".

And you're not.

I mean it's obvious, just from her priorities:
Perhaps the greatest privelege I had while on the campaign trail last year was to be invited on stage with Rev Billy to sing 'we shall overcome' with Joan Baez. Joan kissed me on the cheek that night. I didn't wash it for a while...
OK then.

I suppose you could let this member of the elite know what you think.

This guy pretty much speaks for me.

Call to Action

Contact your two Senators and insist they filibuster any version of the "continuing resolution" which does not defund ObamaCare and bar funds for ATF's unlawful multiple gun sales registry. [More]
Sounds like a plan.  Besides, they should already know you from writing them about this, right?

Feast or Famine

The St. Gabriel Possenti Society, Inc. commemorates the February 27 feast day of St. Gabriel Possenti this weekend with a call for action...[More]
A collection basket protest to starve off contributions as a protest against anti-gun activism by Church officials will definitely get their attention...

We're the Only Ones Helping Ourselves Enough

Two State Police troopers and a Monroe County man were charged Wednesday with embezzling money, jewelry, drugs and other property seized from criminal suspects through a Monroe narcotics investigation...[More]
They're lieutenants, meaning they set the tone around the place, but no doubt the fact that there were only two of them validates the "few bad apples" hypothesis...

Anti-gun groups silent on ‘Project Gunwalker’

Since Henigan invoked Agent Terry’s name, let’s see if he’s capable of joining with some of those “courageous officers” he lauds who have put their necks on the block to do the man’s memory justice. I call on him and Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke to issue a public statement demanding full and public Congressional hearings... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks a loudmouth why he being so's tight-lipped.

Also read a very good "Gunwalker" report from The Shooting Wire.

Shout, shoot or wire the link over to your friends?

This Day in History: February 25

On the morning of February 25, 1779, Lieutenant Colonel George Rogers Clark, elder brother of explorer William Clark, accepted British Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton's unconditional surrender of Fort Sackville at Vincennes, Indiana. [More]
