Notes From HPS

David links a comment on his piece at Guns Magazine:
Sorry but like many have already said, you should know the laws of the states you travel through. Even as a sheriff’s officer when I go to another state on personal business I call ahead to the town I am going to and ask if there are any laws I need to know about, or if I should just leave my gun home. Pennsylvanians aren’t very smart to begin with, so I am not surprised by this story. I don’t think she should do time in jail, but a nice heavy fine would work. What the hell do you need hollow points for in the first place? You planning on shooting a cop through a vest?
First of all, personal defense ammunition doesn’t penetrate soft body armor (Kevlar). Even FMJ or MC ammunition (ball ammo) doesn’t penetrate soft body armor unless it’s high velocity like 5.7 X 28. Second, HR 218 allows sworn LEOs to carry weapons across state lines regardless of any other considerations (not that it should if our rights aren’t similarly recognized). I doubt that the commenter is a LEO. That would make the person a liar.
How the gun owner community will react to the merger remains to be seen. At this writing, it does not appear those opposed to the acquisition are doing anything other than expressing strengthened resolve, while those intent on helping JPFO through the transition remain hopeful. Based on interest expressed in limited venues where the development is being discussed, it appears many are either unaware or else unconcerned.
So it’s a done deal. You know my views on this. I don’t have relationships with corporations. I do with people. I’ll wait until David and Kurt tell me their experiences with this arrangement. I’m in a holding pattern and will continue to link those individuals to whom I’m committed. I have no commitment to organizations.
More on the vulnerability of the electrical grid. You do understand, don’t you, who was first to discuss the vulnerability of the larger step up transformers (nearly four years ago now), and who (Bob Owens) was first to discuss the vulnerability of the smaller, lower voltage infrastructure? And we didn’t even get paid for it.
