brady bunch reports good news

[Jrob24]

AKA: They only tell their sheeple followers of their successes.

This might mean that their morale is low and any bad news would make them give up in despair.

It's a veritable hall of shame.

Oregon - Sheriff Requires Employee Guns To Be Locked Up At Home The Clark County sheriff has instituted a new policy to ensure that firearms issued to county employees will be securely locked up when not in use. The new policy requires all department-issued firearms to be secured in a safe, case, locker or patrol car, or with a trigger lock or cable, unless they're in an officer's physical possession or immediate control. The new policy was prompted by a tragedy in which a sheriff sergeant's loaded firearm was retrieved from a bureau drawer by a 14 year old boy who unintentionally shot and killed his sister.

Morons. Clark County is in Southwestern Washington State.

Maybe I missed the listing for new laws in Alaska.

Boats,

Believe me when I say that I am as pro-RKBA as anyone, but I don't understand your concern with this rule. It just stipulates that county issued guns must be secured "unless they're in an officer's physical possession or immediate control". Why is this bad? From the above, they can choose to be armed 24/7 if they want, they just can't leave their weapons lying around.

Did I miss something here?

The county should be allowed to make whatever rule they want about the pistols' safe keeping as they are the county's property. Now if they tried to extend the rule to the officers' personal weapons, that would be a different issue.

I have children I have this same rule.

If it is not under my control it is unloaded and locked up PERIOD.

When I carry, which I always do, the gun is on my person loaded.

When I am asleep the gun is loaded and under my control as well.

In Delaware by the way its also a state law that the gun be stored unloaded and inaccesible to children and unauthorized persons. (trigger locks are not required though).

Its a smart rule, you dont leave guns loaded and laying around, thats how fatal accidents happen.

I'll try again. My criticism is based on GEOGRAPHY

That was all I was commenting on. The Bradys don't even know where anything is going on, let alone what is going on.

 

[stevelyn]

THAT"S their report? Is this what Sarah Brady calls success?!?!? It's a county sherriff's administrative policy affecting only those in his department and applies only to department issued sidearms. Whooopee!
Why aren't they rallying the troops to turn the tide of battle and fight against the outrages of Alaska's Vermont style CCW reform, CCW in Colorado, Mineesohtah, Missourri, and coming soon to Ohio.......Concealed Carry. Or how about the AWB sunset in just over a year? Or the House bill that passed protecting gun makers from frivolous lawsuits?
I know, they're losing their shirts and are about to get buried.

 

[AJ Dual]

Hmm.

Notice that all of it is:

A: Passage of redundant laws already covered by federal law, or other state laws, such as the Lautenberg domestic ammendment? Texas passed a law preventing gun ownership by sexual offenders? Aren't they allready by definition felons?

B: Passage of a single house of state government, not full codification into law with govenor's signatures.

C: Anything alarming with any teeth such as the .50 BMG ban, more gun mfgr. harrasment for mag safetys and chamber indicators is only in CA?

If this is the best they can do, we're still turning the tide...

Safe Storage

I don't need a LAW to tell me how to store my guns. And you don't eitiher, and neither do you, or you or you or you or you or even YOU.

And guess what. The idiot who leaves his gun accessible to a child or dangerous person is already irresponsible and will probably do it despite the words written on papers telling him not to. I don't have kids, and I sometimes leave loaded guns outside of my reach and beyond my control. I don't need that to be illegal. It's ridiculous.

Most of their "victories" are a redundant nothing that is covered by existing laws. It is good to see that the California assembly is taking a bite out of crime by keeping all those muggers from using their Barrett Light .50's.
