You better not burn those holy books, to protect the troops from radical islamists.

To paraphrase John Stewart: How about we dont give a crap what radical islamists think?

That sentence, from our old friend David Randolph Smith, implies that carry permit holders are recognized hazards to human life.

Of course, the anonymous server’s main argument is self defeating:

According to the complaint, the server has seen handguns carried into the restaurant and patrons forcefully ejected from the property.

Conspicuously absent from the article? Actual violence from those ejected patrons. Or accusations they were drinking. Or any evidence whatsoever that he’s been in actual danger. I’m going to see if I can find the actual complaint, but it seems to me that TOSHA will laugh this away.

LATER: It seems that last year the 10th Circuit ruled this logic was…flawed. That case was about parking lots and OSHA, but they invoked the same “general duties” clause.

So far, no one has gone crazy and shot up a playground full of blind orphans like the media was screaming would happen.

Journalism and Meteorology: Two fields where your predictions can be consistently wrong yet you’ll never lose your job.

I mean, it’s not like someone’s going to come in and start killing everyone in the house.

Here’s one of the reasons I carry: you can never know if the guy standing next to you is banging someone else’s wife. You can never know if the woman in the next cubicle has recently told her abusive ex to get bent. You can never know if the guy walking across the parking lot has a gang hit out on him.

I don’t worry about someone coming after me–I may be a jerk sometimes but I don’t do anything worth getting shot over. I do worry about being collateral damage, for the reasons outlined above.

It kind of sounds like they were just hearing a petition instead of seriously considering illegal action, but who knows.

Anyway, it’s okay to put away the wookie suits for now.

So I used a blowtorch on them.

All better now!

Only in a liberal’s mind could getting a $125,000 pay raise (instead of a $205,000 raise) constitute a pay cut.

The action sequences more than make up for the bad CGI, red laser beams, and the fact that Dolph Lundgren is now 112 years old.

Oh, and apparently it beat the snot out of “Eat Pray Love” at the box office. Mission Accomplished.
