Big Government Begat Big Law
Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.

One could say that Big Government begat Big Law. Jon Gabriel over at Ricochet delves into this issue and delivers this gem:
A state dedicated to ever-expanding rules requires ever-increasing enforcement. For years we’ve seen SWAT-style raids over organic farming, zoning violations and minor drug infractions. We meekly accept “free-speech zones” on college campuses and at political conventions, in which dissent is corralled into cages and supervised by armed guards.
The expansion of the state naturally encroaches upon the rights of the governed, which creates mistrust between the two. As we have seen in Ferguson, MO, this can have harmful affects that are felt far beyond that community’s boundaries.
Disorder, Chaos, and Firearms Ownership
What happens when those who protect and serve are unable (or unwilling) to do so? For free people, that means bearing arms to protect yourself, your business, and your community. When law enforcement stands down, armed citizens need to stand up. Like this guy in Ferguson, MO.
Standing Guard
I don’t think this store is going to be subject to looting on his watch.
Civilian MRAPs, Coming to Your Town!
Not long ago I saw this vehicle on a flatbed while I was getting my car washed. I don’t know where this particular MRAP was going but my guess it was to a town near you.
One MRAP, slightly used…
The Heavy Hand of the Law
Behold the heavy hand of the law. Yes, these are (ostensibly) civilian police officers operating within the US. Welcome to the new reality in law enforcement.

Emergent Civil Unrest
As the last few days in Ferguson, MO have shown, civil unrest can quickly emerge after a triggering event.

Taken for a Ride
During my recent trip to Eastern Europe, I got taken for a ride in a taxi (taksi in Lithuanian) that was more than I expected. Learn from my experience about how being prepared could have prevented my extended ride and how it helped me recover once I knew something was amiss.
