The Gadfly On The Wall

Weekend Relaxation: With the Sooners and Cowboys not playing today, I'm off for some relaxation communing with paper targets.

Thanks: To our blogger friends in Arkansas for their kind comments about our coverage of the Quran controversy, now a worldwide topic of discussion.

Stand Your Ground: The story posted here today about the Lawton concealed carry licensee protecting himself from the attack of a burglar indicates prosecutors are following Oklahoma's "Stand Your Ground" law. It's the first case I'm aware of in which it has been invoked, but there may be others. Reading this story, one has to wonder what possessed a 17-year-old to charge a man armed with a Springfield .45 semi-auto who already had fired five warning shots.
