MOVING THE BLOG
I am moving Front Sight, Press to one of my own sites, and using software of my own choosing. Publishing has been very difficult lately with Blogger. Nothing is working very well and Blogger/Google doesn??t seem to give a damn. When it got to the point that I couldn??t post on Blogger, I decided that I had to move. I will leave the old blog up, and for a while I will attempt to post the News from The Sight to both locations, but the Blogger site will eventually cease to get updates. The URL for the new blog is http://www.snubnose.info/wordpress/

MORE ON SWAT SHOOTING IN ATLANTA
Reason Online is noting that the story about the Atlanta raid that ended with the SWAT team shooting 88 year Kathryn Johnson … is getting even worse. The warrant was apparently based on claims from an informant that he’d purchased crack there … but the informant says he never did, and later was pressured to falsely claim that he had.

In the past few weeks there have been two local events that should give anyone pause regardless of their feelings about firearms. Whether the concern is for the United States Constitution or just plain common sense, the idea that anyone should trust a criminal armed with a gun makes no sense.
