There's local news, state news, national and world news..... and there are times when local matters get infected with national neuroses. This message came in on Thursday, and I regret not plastering it here in time for you to alert your Horry County friends:
Friends of South Carolina!
Horry County Council wants to stop your target practice within 900 feet of any residence!
That’s the word I’m getting.
Scheduled for 5 PM, Thursday, March 22nd, the Public Safety Committee will consider an ordinance to regulate the discharge of firearms. If you can, go the meeting and make sure they kill this thing!
According to a copy of the proposed ordinance that has been leaked out 900 feet is the distance you will need to be from any residence before you can discharge your firearm.
I taught my sons to shoot while sitting on the back porch of our home… safely, with the rifle pointed away from the home and toward a safely constructed target.
Yet, if a rifle is pointed toward a home, 900 feet is not nearly far enough away.
It goes to show the ignorance and futility of such an ordinance.
It protects no one!
And it makes it more difficult for anyone to safely train with their own weapon in the safety of their own property.
We know that regular self-imposed training is the only way to make gun safety a habit.
There is no schedule of government training, nor government imposed limitations that will make us safer.
A well-armed society free of government limitations on gun ownership and usage is the only way to maintain a safe society.
If Horry County passes this ordinance, your county won’t be far behind.
So, if you live in Horry County, give your councilman a call and tell him to vote no to this Anti-Training Gun Ordinance.
And, if Harold Worley is your councilman, make sure you contact him. Sources say he is the source of this infringement on your ability to train on your own property.
He can be reached at 843-249-1436 and hworley@odresort.com according to his web site.
And if you don’t live in Horry County, be sure to let any friends and family in and around Horry County know what is coming!
A loss of gun freedom in any county will lead to a loss of gun freedom in all counties.
Best regards,
Talbert Black Jr
P.S. Remember, Horry County Council will be considering an ordinance to restrict the discharge of firearms near a residence. 900 feet is the limiting distance according to a copy of the ordinance that has been leaked. The Public Safety Committee is scheduled to hear this ordinance on Thursday, March 22nd at 5PM. Call your councilman today and tell him to vote no. Then go to the committee meeting and make sure they kill this Anti-Training Gun Ordinance.
See? Federal gun grabbers use every flimsiest pretext for passing law after law that chips away at the Second Amendment, and now local politicians are cooking up great reasons (safety and security, dontcha know) why we have to give up our liberty teeth.
...........I'm sure the Greenville Hospital system is as good as any, but unfortunately, that leaves a lot of room for human error and even corruption. The sender of this item titled it "MORE reasons not to go to Greenville Hospitals", and the defiant mug shot of the perp (plus her rank stupidity) would seem to remind us that corruption is everywhere despite the best efforts to control it:

Needless to say, the story also offers more juicy reasons for ameriKa to get off the invasion-of-privacy standard and let people keep their SSN et al to themselves. If keeping ameriKa healthy depends on everybody coughing up their full name, birth date and Socialist Surveillance Number at the clinic door, we are terminal!
...........This has to be God's sense of humor at work: case after case of "bootleg" tax resistance is popping up in the upcountry, even in Anderson, which has no connection to the PN or to reality. The latest:

Solyndra in South Carolina?
First they told us it was global warming. Then, when they finally stumbled over the obvious facts about climate and the existing records thereof, they quick like a bunny changed the buzz to "climate change". That is still way off, since climate changes daily and it's the most natural thing in the world. Sometimes they add "anthropogenic" (man-generated) but that only puts them on shakier ground, since ultimate causes are so hard to prove and there's often such a brazen socio-political agenda attached.
The bottom line is that climates have changed throughout known history and it's had nothing to do with mankind. Ever heard of the little ice age, or the Medieval Warm Period? Indeed I've just had another reminder of such phenomena on viewing via Youtube a BBC documentary, The Story of India. It tries afresh to trace the movement of the subcontinent's earliest cultures from region to region, and it says the (?) Harappans left the (?) Ganges river valley when long-established rain patterns caused it to dry up. No doubt, that is the simple explanation for many other ancient peoples' mysterious disappearances from an area.
.......This news from our Southern neighbor could get exciting:

Georgia State Senate Approves Measure Criminalizing Foreclosure Fraud
It is of course tragic that politicians feel the need of such a measure -- it's a basic, very powerful maxim of law that "fraud vitiates everything". It's already a serious offense, and I suspect that if politicians would simply enforce what's already on the books, a lot less legislation would theoretically by needed.
My posts here are sometimes SC-oriented but we do of course cover the whole country and report its doings faithfully. Here's a fine column on one of those touchy subjects:
