Emily Miller on Fox discussing guns in DC
Emily Miller was on Fox News talking about why she spent four months and a couple of hundred dollars navigating the DC bureaucracy to own a gun in that city as a result of her walking in on a burglary.
If you’re low on blood pressure medicine, you should probably stay out of the comments on YouTube. Like the one “Maynard” writes; “I wish those home invaders shot her.” Because criminals have a right to life while people who want to protect themselves and be safe don’t. But, we’ve seen that here at TAH, too, where the trolls criticize us for our “feel good stories” because the criminals are supposed to guarantee the results of their poor decisions, while the victims are slaves to those decisions and situations not of their making.
Early one morning, while living in DC, I took my dog outside for a walk and found the parking lot full of cops and a dead body in the middle of the lot (a drug-related crime). Someone in DC has guns, but it’s not not law abiding citizens. So I left a few weeks later.
Today, on the 66th day of this year, there have been 26 homicides so far this year in DC. The MPD doesn’t tell us how many were gun crimes, but we can guess. In a city where guns have been generally illegal since 1974, 2008 guns were recovered by police in 2012 (the last complete year of the police statistics). So criminals have the choices. Law abiding citizens not so much – well, except do like I did and move.

Amazing how eager some people are to surrender their freedom for what the state demands. Franklin was right–they surrender their freedom for security, and deserve (and get) neither.
Strange how the criminals are so unwilling to give up their arms, yet it becomes more and more difficult for peaceful, law-abiding citizens for them to keep theirs, assuming they’re allowed to legally possess them at all.
Bottom line, YouTube trolls–an armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
My girlfriend bought her first gun in Dec. ruger lc9. Went through the permitting classes, and now carries daily. Total time for permit application in TN. 31 days. Cost? $115 for permit. And $50 for the class. I did mine at the same time. FL permit was no longer valid, since I moved.
DC is ridiculous. Another reason to not even visit.
Yeah, the list of places not to visit grows. D.C., Noo Yawk state, California, Illinois. Or, anyplace run by liberals.
Since I live in the PRK (People’s Republic of Kalifornia), it is virtually impossible to get a CCW. Therefore, I got one from Florida; it cost only $100 and the weapons certification was waived because I was retired military (think I had to send my DD214). My only cost was the $100 check, two recent photos, and the paperwork.
The Florida CCW has reciprocity in 33 other states:

And the FL CCW is valid for 10 years.

According to this,

God bless that woman. I remember her portrayal in that silly movie Casino Jack, but she’s so much more than that.
