In an amazing double-victory, HB0962 (the bill to allow handgun carry permit holders to carry their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol) made it out of committee with no restrictions on it, and HB0959 (the bill to keep handgun carry…

Just after Richard Locker does a fairly good job reporting on the facts, and just the facts, of the passage of HB0962, the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal decides to go and counterbalance this attempt at honest journalism. Why…

Amazingly enough, HB0962 was approved by the Tennessee House of Representatives, and is currently headed to the Senate for their vote. Doubly-amazingly, it made it out of the house with almost no idiotic amendments being attached to it, with the…

Wow. I have to admit to being somewhat impressed. It would appear as though the Commercial Appeal somehow managed to go over a full week without putting up another hoplophobic, anti-rights editorial. At least it gives me something to write…

Do you want to know the best part about the Commercial Appeal’s privacy-invading database of handgun carry permit holders? Here we are, almost a month after this whole froofera hit the public scene, and the staff of the Commercial Appeal…

(I tried to make an independent, non-dated “page” containing this information, but I seem to have broken that aspect of my weblogging engine. I will strive to keep this page updated as best I can, so feel free to refer…

I find it somewhat ironic that the shortest month of the year is also my most prolific, and that it received the highest amount of traffic, ever, for my website. I guess I should thank the staff of the Commercial…

Crap on a crutch… the staff of the Commercial Appeal just cannot keep their mouths shut: Martino Johnson, charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Terrelle Beasley this week after a minor traffic accident, held a Tennessee-issued pe…

Like I have said repeatedly, the staff of the Commercial Appeal have found a hot-button issue with their privacy-invading database of handgun carry permit holders, and, by God, they are going to pound the gos-se out of that button and…

In regards to the privacy-invading database that the Commercial Appeal has put up on their webpage, a lot of things have been said by both sides of the debate; however, one thing came through very loud, and very clear -…

In response to the public hue and cry concerning their privacy-invading database, the Commercial Appeal did not take it down… no… they went and updated it. Their numbers are slightly more believable this time around, claiming 219,245 entries as of…

I love it!  This is what happened when a leftwing Memphis newspaper decided to target people who value the rights protected by the 2nd Amendment.  ‘Linoge’, a blogger at The Walls of the City, has a gun-carry permit, and opened fire:
Appa…

*headdesk* It seems as though the Commercial Appeal (and, more specifically, its editor – Chris Peck) cannot stop putting up half-assed rationalizations for their handgun carry permit holder database. Once more into the fisking breach I go. Misundersta…

To all those individuals who would like to leave comments at the Commercial Appeal concerning their invasion of private, law-abiding citizens’ privacy by publishing a database of handgun carry permit holders, and especially at their most recent editori…

It seems as though the Commercial Appeal just cannot stop rationalizing away their “logic” for posting the searchable database of handgun carry permit holders… methinks they dost protest too much. Oh well, it gives me blogfodder, and lets me flex…

Three days later, no response. Granted, they might be busy, but the database is still up and operational… just partially hidden behind pretty graphs and text. Time to level the playing field a little. This information has undoubtedly been reposted…

Unsurprisingly, there has been no response to my letter to the staff of the Commercial Appeal. I say “unsurprisingly” because I am quite certain I am not the only individual who contacted them. Blue Collar Muse left them all voicemails,…
