Okeechobee officials who banned guns prior to hurricane may soon pay for their ‘error’

Image
 Copied and pasted from email:   After violating Florida's preemption statute, City of Okeechobee ignores warning from Florida Carry, Inc. The five-member Okeechobee, Florida city council and Police Chief Donald Hagan may each be forced to pay $5,000 personally – without using taxpayer dollars – for violating Florida’s powerful preemption statute, which only allows the state legislature to regulate firearms.   As previously reported ,  the city adopted an illegal ordinance shortly before Hurricane Helene made landfall, which banned the sale of guns and ammunition and prohibited firearm possession in public by anyone other than law enforcement or members of the military.    After learning of the civil rights violation,  Florida Carry, Inc.   sent a demand letter titled  Written Notice of Preemption Violation and Offer of Settlement , to the city council and Chief Hagan, warning the recipients they have violated Florida’s preemption statute.   The   letter ,  which was written by Flo

Ordnance crossing into Mexico over border—its southern one

[Reposted from Internet Archive capture of Gun Rights Examiner article, so no effort made to update internal links.] January 5, 2011By: David Codrea Mexican Crime ATF 'Authorized Journalists' Gun Rights Gun control Advertisement “Guatemala's top security official says the Zetas drug gang from Mexico had set up an operations center in the border province of Alta Verapaz,” the   Associated Press   reports . Regular readers will recall how the criminal enterprise started by rogue Mexican special forces operatives has expanded its influence— first as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel and now as a rival power . That they’ve established themselves in neighboring Guatemala is hardly surprising, and would appear to circumstantially dovetail with   another development being reported   by Tim Johnson, Mexico Bureau Chief for McClatchy Newspapers: Mexico… is also flooded with hand grenades. From what I am told, some of the grenade stockpiles are coming up from leftover military depots in

‘Lefties with Guns’ Up Ante on Protest Conflicts

Image
  RECOVERED FROM INTERNET ARCHIVE SO NOT ALL LINKS WORK March 26, 2017 “Protesters arrested for using pepper spray on Trump supporters during march,”  CBS News reported Saturday . “The violence erupted when the march of about 2,000 people at Bolsa Chica State Beach reached a group of about 30 counter-protesters, some of whom began spraying the irritant…” Dust-ups happen. We’ve seen  calls for violence  against “fascists” and “Nazis” by mob-inciters that resemble nothing so much as the fascists and Nazis they decry. And we’ve seen reactions to bullying, intimidation and assaults exemplified by the emergence of those intent on pushing back, like  Based Stick Man . It should come as no surprise that when the potential for physical conflict exists, those involved will want to position themselves to prevail. So it should also come as no surprise that “lefties with guns” would be emerging at protest demonstrations . “Gun-Totin’ Left-Wingers Demonstrate at the Arizona Capitol,”  Phoenix New T

 August 7, 2015 David Codrea   All ,  Oath Keepers ,  Second Amendment   I will not comply ,  Orders we will not obey. Los Angeles Essentially, authoritarians on the Los Angeles City Council have decided they don’t trust non-enforcers with the same technology used in Pez dispensers. Princess High-Cap courtesy RA Bear & Associates. The Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance last week banning what it calls “large capacity” [read  “standard capacity” ] magazines, ordering citizens to surrender them within 60 days. Gun owners caught in possession of a 10+round magazine by LAPD enforcers will face misdemeanor charges, the  Los Angeles Daily News reported . California already bans the manufacture and sale of such magazines, but “it’s not against the law to possess large-capacity magazines in most of the state.” And true to form, now that they’ve imposed their edict in L.A., the antis are looking to expand it nationwide. That was a major talking point at a rally outside City Hall fe
