Prices are great and the shape of the bar is something you rarely see. It's like a big snake!

I've been here for events in the little banquet hall and in the bar area for dinner with the family and just to grab a drink with friends. The food is delicious and the music always keeps me entertained. I can't wait to stop in soon on a Friday night to hear some oldies!"

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Retired prosecutors would have special privileges to carry concealed weapons anywhere in the state under a measure that has passed the House.

Representatives voted 90-4 Monday for the measure that now goes to the Senate for consideration.

Democratic state Rep. Bob Damron of Nicholasville is sponsor of the bill that extends to commonwealth's attorneys and county attorneys the same right that already has been given to retired judges.

The measure is intended to allow retired prosecutors to defend themselves if attacked.

Kentucky already allows people to carry concealed weapons if they have permits to do so. Damron's measure would allow retired prosecutors to carry them into restricted areas, like courthouses, where the general population wouldn't be permitted to carry guns.


“National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012” introduced in U.S. Senate

FLINT, Michigan -- A spokesperson for a national organization that supports the open carry of firearms said Flint Police violated the rights of a man who authorities asked to leave the State of the City Address at City Hall because he was wearing a pistol strapped to his side in plain view.

To everyone in Illinois:
Please don’t forget to vote on Tuesday. Thanks to Quick Silver Z for the NRA breakdown on candidates. After the Dems gerrymandered the entire state, many of us are voting for brand new people in this election (especially for the Illinois House and Illinois Senate.) You may want to take alook at the post 6 above to see who's worth voting for in your new district. Map of all Districts.

We are the last state to not allow conceal carry. We need to get some better legislators in to change that!

“This is the first warm weather weekend, and already we’ve seen the results of the department’s inability to proactively fight crime. Without more officers on the street, the citizens of Chicago had better buckle up and get ready for a violent ride over the summer. The shortage of officers and the shift from aggressive policing to racing from one 911 call to the next in a beat car has had a dramatic effect on the increase in violence in the city,”

Mike Shields - The Fraternal Order of Police union president

Nearly $7,000 worth of handguns were stolen from a Des Moines gun shop early Monday morning, according to a police report.

Seventeen guns were reported missing from Jack Smith Gun Sales, 2828 Hubbell Ave. Each was valued at $400.

Police responded to an alarm at the store about 4 a.m. When officers arrived, they found that the front door had been broken with a rock. The intruder also had broken through a metal bar door, according to the report.

The thief went through two display cases that contained handguns, police said.

Pike County voters overwhelmingly approve conceal-carry ordinance

http://www.whig.com/story/17205800/p...arry-ordinance



Sheboygan County (WI) supervisors voted Tuesday night to kill a proposal that would have given the County Board's Property Committee the authority to ban firearms from county-owned buildings.



JACKSON (MI) — A proposed work rule that would have allowed Jackson County government employees to carry concealed pistols on the job has been shot down.



An Indiana jewelry dealer (former Marine) arrested after trying to check his gun at the Empire State Building has taken a plea deal that will spare him jail.

Sadly , this tale

http://www.myfabulousstyle.com/tag/trevon-martin-killed

along with the past deadly weekend in Chicago, will dent our efforts on CCW.

Most damning of all is the misguided tactics used by the punk in Florida.

The responsibility that goes with CCW is enormous. Most of us can handle that; sadly a few idiots can't, and they are the asses who can hurt our cause.
