[FPC News] Savannah, Georgia Drops Prosecution of Gun Owner Following FPC-Backed Def

<p><strong>SAVANNAH, GA </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">(November 1, 2024) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that charges have been dropped against its member, Mr. Deacon Morris, following an FPC-backed defense against the charges that included an affirmative attack on Savannah, Georgia’s gun control ordinance. In the case, the government had been criminally prosecuting Mr. Morris for violating the city’s gun storage ordinance despite Georgia’s firearm preemption law that makes the city’s ordinance invalid. FPC’s defense of Mr. Morris was a parallel action to its </span><a href="https://www.firearmspolicy.org/belt"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Belt v. Savannah</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> case, a civil lawsuit challenging the same ordinance.</span></p>

About 2200 last night my wife started having severe back spasms, She could barely move because of the pain. I took her to the Dorn VA hospital emergency room. When I got her signed in the desk lady handed me a mask and said it was required in the ER there. I told her that I saw at least 5 medical personnel walking around without one. If they don’t have to wear the stupid mask then neither did I. And that was that. I was in no mood for that crap. While we waited  some dude came up to the check in window, threw something in one of the ladle’s face and ran away. The cops got him.
They took vitals, urine sample and did a CAT scan of her back. While we waited for the results, I watched a lady die on the ambulance gurney of cardiac arrest at 0107. The result os the cat scan was some deterioration of the spinal area. They gave a shot of anti-inflammatory and some meds to take home. We got home at 0332. I got up at 0600 to feed the cats.

I'm going to make a pot of beef stew so I went to the store.
Parsnips $2.99 a lb.
Rutabagas 2.49
Chuck roast 8.49/lb
It wasn't that long ago when Chuck was $1.30 or so! I walked by the seafood counter and Chilean see bass was $42 a lb. Nope, that'll never get on my list.
I bought a few gold maple leaf coins a few years ago at about $1750/oz as sort of an easily hidden emergency fund. Last week they were up to $2750 or so. 
This will be the most expensive beef stew I've ever made. It's sad what they've done to our dollar.

It's my favorite news aggregation site, much like drudge report before it was sold and made a hard left turn.
Anyway, he hit 17.3 million page views in a single day. Kane is doing this out of his pocket and the server is getting overloaded. I suggested that he sell a little bit of advertising space to defray the costs. I'd hate to see it, but how else can you handle that much traffic.
With that kind of traffic I'd imagine that a single advertising sponsor would be worth quite a bit of money.
If you're a news/political junkie like I am, you should check his site out.

Veteran Coffee Review #23 : Caliber Coffee - 300 Black Out Extra Dark Roast!



Bottom line: Dark roastyness on the nose. Very roasty flavor with a touch of bitterness. Strong but smooth. Cream and sugar got rid of the bitterness and brought out a chocolate note, 4 Thumbs up!
