Andrea, gave him a twenty and got twenty back. She's pretty upset about it and wants to mail you the ten dollars first thing tomorrow. You have my card and if not you know the people that booked us they have my contact information, Karen I believe is your contact. She will provide you with it if needed. Cheers, Mark<br />btw/ it was great to get to meet you and my wife flipped out being able to meet the man who's work she enjoys very much. <br />This is not for posting but the only way I know how to get in contact with you directly.AvgJoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-13439084550830158532010-04-24T22:32:14.120-06:002010-04-24T22:32:14.120-06:00No criticism of you intended.

George Orwells quote:<br /> <br />"He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future."<br /><br />Who "watches" the watchers? They redefine the dictionary YOU are subject to while keeping theirs out of sight. Should you be cogent enough to identify and point this out, ironically, it is YOU who gets put into jail, marginalized, or simply silenced. How you THINK the world should operate is, as has been noted, irrelevant to those who actually operate it. Words, and the feelings associated with certain syllables strung together to generate specific responses, are merely malleable tools in their hands. People who "know" these things can either choose the red or blue pill and operate within or without this matrix of lies.MoThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13996714804361467430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-84115273265161696752010-04-23T17:30:57.469-06:002010-04-23T17:30:57.469-06:00While this might be splitting hairs, isn't the...While this might be splitting hairs, isn't the word that the statist press should be using "armory" instead of "arsenal?"

However, my point here would be, "arsenal" is not defined, nor will it be, and that too is deliberate. The word is not intended to convey meaningful information, it is purely intended to evoke an emotional response --it's directed to an audience that will consider it a slur.<br /><br />And if it were defined, it would be at a threshold that put anyone in possession of more than one gun and one box of ammunition in possession of an "arsenal." The use of the word is solely intended to make all gun owners appear to be unstable and threatening. If they wanted to convey information, they could simply state the number of weapons he had, but that wouldn't carry the emotive connotations.<br /><br />Furthermore, even if the State or media defined it and adhered to the definition it would be meaningless, because their target audience won't know the definition, or understand the basis for it, whatever it might be, and will merely emote as intended when they read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-25088894180868076682010-04-23T01:23:02.407-06:002010-04-23T01:23:02.407-06:00I suspect that the only reason Girard's home w...<i>I suspect that the only reason Girard's home wasn't similarly transformed into an "armed compound" is the fact that it was a multi-family condominium.</i><br /><br />That didn't stop W.

Much improved form of profanity, I'm sure.<br /><br />I'd imagine it would become my business pretty quickly if I were living in the adjacent condo and a bullet somehow ricocheted out of the trap and lanced through the wall into my apartment. Aside from the sound of the gunfire next door, the gunpowder smells leaking into the adjacent unit, and so forth. <br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />Since we're busybodies enough to be reading about this case in the first place, I will regroup and say that I for one would like to know a bit more about it before I make up my mind one way or the other. Does Mr. Girard have any history of altercations with his wife? Did something bad actually happen, giving Mrs. Girard a bona fide reason to fear returning to their home? Or not? Or are we to simply accept that since she's a psychologist, she's a shrew?<br /><br />But be that as it may, you missed my point, which was to cautiously sympathize (so far as the limited info we have allows me) with Mr. Girard's plight.DeepSouthDavehttp://openid.aol.com/dave854irenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-67166337918096837452010-04-22T16:49:55.982-06:002010-04-22T16:49:55.982-06:00Deep South Dave wrote:

That state, NJ, California, and parts of NY vie for the privilege to be the most hostile jurisdiction to owners of firearms and other weapons. I live in NJ (where you are prohibited from mail ordering a BB gun for your grandchild, and can be imprisoned for possession of a high voltage stunner) but own land in rural Appalachia, so I am well aware of the contrast. The impediments raised to merely buying and maintaining a firearm, let alone transporting it to some site where it could actually be fired, are so formidable that I can easily envision Girard's desire to have a range in his home, if he had the means to afford it. Were I in a frame of mind to be less civil, I might also inquire as to what damned business it is of yours or the porcine contingent regarding his conduct in the putative privacy of his own home, be that target shooting or making coffee in the altogether.

It is a "law and order" state in its most despicable form.</i><br /><br />That's a shame; I guess the folk in NH abandoned the concept of livin' free or die, eh? Personally, I think "Live a helot or die free" is increasingly becoming my motto swirlin' about my head these days as I'm not optimistic about this country ever returning to the much greater freedom of yore, enjoyed by our progenitors, for a variety of reasons.<br /><br />Now, I'm optimistic, mind ya, but it's not optimism based on the hapless humanoids running to and fro about the world and greedily seeking out its vain pursuits. I was just such a humanoid before I began to look intently at big pictures in everything. That trait can be a curse as well as a blessing, though, unfortunately.<br /><br />In America, most folk are most concerned about the economy while the warfare/welfare state, the dependency crisis they themselves help fuel and grow Leviathan's tentacles in the process, and general cultural tyranny all simultaneously afflicting us is blithely ignored. The masses apparently don't realize how all of the above are, in some form or fashion, interrelated!<br /><br />The bottom line is folks' priorities are twisted, knotted up, and way out of whack. Stepping back to look at the panoramic view, evil and persecution in general is going to wax worse and worse, not better.<br /><br />Whatever the future otherwise has in store, Christians better prepare as increasingly they will be the core targets of the above, which is to be expected as the Good Book makes this quite clear. Yes, I'd also agree that most of the blame for our country's current station can be laid squarely at the feet of Christians for being so insanely silent for eons now about critical issues, especially over the last half of the 20th century to the present. Add to that the deceivers making noise in every media medium masquerading as "Christians" and we got we got...sigh (again!).<br /><br />Returning from the tangent now...<br /><br />Speaking of VT, it's only one of three states that allow CC without a permit in the "union" so that counts for a lot in my book ;). My state, VA, is very gun-friendly otherwise, but it does require a CC permit, which is easy to obtain provided one doesn't have a record. And, at least presently, it's not too burdensome on taxes either, relatively speaking of course.<br /><br />Another tangent, if I may? I do wonder, though, if Ben and Jerry simply mind their ice cream business and their own lives or do they agitate for "happy" change in the legislative halls of Montpelier and/or Washington for that matter. Being a part of a British corporatist conglomerate, I'm sure they're agitating for a lot these days...sigh. Those who move up in wealth and/or position on the social scales nearly always wind up a dutiful Leviathan asset, with few exceptions.<br /><br />That should surprise no one here, of course.

Psychiatrist<br /><br />2. Social worker<br /><br />3. Police officer<br /><br />4. Lawyer (no offense intended, Jerri Lynn; any lawyer who is a devotee of Will Grigg and his work is a credit to the profession!)<br /><br />On a related note, the ever-dominant cynic in me wonders what my own state's motivation is behind its <a href="http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?id=5477" rel="nofollow">repeal of the requirement for a concealed carry permit</a>. While Arizona has historically been a VERY 2nd Amendment-friendly state, it also a prominently "Red Fascist" state that is enthralled to the prison-industrial-complex for jobs and funding. Freedom to carry and the PIC seem to this mind to be diametrically opposed to one another. Maybe it all comes down to how this state's "justice" [sic] system, which is every bit as broken and corrupt as its counterparts in the 49 other states and at the federal level, will deal with defendants in its criminal system that are of the "wrong" social/racial demographic group and, upon inevitable conviction of a "felony," will be summarily disarmed. <br /><br />Finally, on a note unrelated to this case, but related to the issue of police and "justice" system criminal corruption, I hope everyone is following <a href="http://williamlanderson.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Bill Anderson's blog expose of the Tonya Craft trial</a>, the quasi-legal travesty taking place in Catoosa County, Georgia.liberranterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-41185877199104707632010-04-22T09:58:47.414-06:002010-04-22T09:58:47.414-06:00My first thought when looking over this story was ...My first thought when looking over this story was to wonder what actually happened between Mr. Girard and his wife to prompt her to claim that she was "afraid to return to her home." I can see where a guy who would set up an indoor shooting range in his condo might have a few loose screws, but I also know current family law is a woman's shooting gallery in its own right in many states. <br /><br />In a nutshell, the status quo is that oftentimes a woman who's simply decided she no longer wants her man in the house can concoct a spurious tale of domestic violence, and the authorities will remove the man on a "pendente lite" basis -- meaning he's given 24 hours to vacate the premises, and a hearing will be scheduled later (often several months later, due to the overwhelming case load in a typical family-law court) to determine the facts of the case, if any.<br /><br />Quite the devastating experience if you happen (as I was) to be a loving, devoted husband and father of four beautiful, abundantly-gifted children (not just a biased dad speaking here -- all four are in their respective schools' gifted-student tracks, and more to the point, are thriving in them), and who never harmed or threatened to harm, or was even capable of conceiving the idea of harming, any of them.DeepSouthDavehttp://openid.aol.com/dave854irenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-23052745840062042512010-04-22T06:48:00.782-06:002010-04-22T06:48:00.782-06:00Mr. Grigg, I've long enjoyed your writing and ...Mr. Grigg, I've long enjoyed your writing and just have to ask.

Surely no one reading anything Will writes thinks these routine media mischaracterizations (lies) are the product of ignorance or accident?</i><br /><br />Relax guy. I'm quite aware of the anti-gun philosophy of the media and most police forces, and Mr. Grigg's is not the only blog that covers this topic. But paramilitary forces surrounding a private home and demanding the surrender of the owner for no other reason than that he owns firearms, then holding him without charges, is something of a new phenomenon, even if it is connected with the entrenched anti-gun philosophy of the last several decades (and it certainly is). <br /><br />Know your enemy. If police are now actively arresting citizens for ownership of an "arsenal," is it not vital to know exactly how the word is defined? If Mr. Gilson is correct and 1000 rounds constitutes an arsenal, government forces will have essentially declared war on a sizable portion of the armed population and might quickly find it's position untenable. Likewise, if these same forces don't care about that and continue to carry out paramilitary raids on private citizens, the reasoning behind these raids is valuable intelligence and should be made known to all.Van Wijknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-59947689059096038372010-04-21T23:05:35.374-06:002010-04-21T23:05:35.374-06:00Minority Report and Punishment Park can't be t...Minority Report and Punishment Park can't be too far off.
