Cognitive Disconnect
My current workplace forbids even a Leatherman because they consider it a ZOMG SCARY WEAPON.

Congratulations, Iowa!
Today, March 29, the Iowa House of Representatives passed Senate File 2379 by a vote of 81 to 15. It will now head to Governor Chet Culver (D) for his consideration and hopefully signature. The bill had previously passed in the Senate by a vote of 44 to 4.
If Culver signs, on January 1, 2011, Iowa will go from may-issue to shall issue and will recognize all other states' permits.
Greatest of kudoes to the great folks at IowaCarry for all their hard work and dedication!
ETA: Countdown to PSH in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

The PSH Is Official
The concealed carry permit system became effective in Nebraska on January 1, 2007. So finally, over two and a half years later, the agency I work for finally noticed they (gasp!) had no sign on the door prohibiting concealed weapons. So of course they put one up.
I wondered how long it would take them.
The e-mail announcing this stated, "For the safety of all staff, we will be adding a 'No weapons permitted' sign on our front door. This applies to all employees (the employee handbook already bans weapons from the workplace) and civilians. It does not apply to law enforcement officers."
We work with/for law enforcement agencies from local through federal levels. Good thing they acknowledged the mysterious Jedi powers of the Only Ones capable of handling weapons competently. The employee handbook actually explicitly bans only "firearms and explosives," since technology folks who actually do useful work -- as opposed to policy wonks who sit around thinking of ways to keep useful work from getting done -- frequently have to employ sharp pointy things in the fulfillment of their duties.
It's "for the safety of all staff." Because we all know how well those "No weapons permitted" signs worked at Westroads.
ETA: Obviously they subscribe to the New Jersey governor's opinion of legally armed citizens.

Larry Correia vs. The New York Times
A battle where the NYT was woefully undergunned.
After the Heller opinion was released, the New York Times editorial staff immediately soiled their Depends and shoveled up a truly impressive pile of PSH in response. I won't dignify it by linking to it here, but you can search their website if you have a strong enough stomach and really want to read the whole thing.
Larry Correia's business is called Fuzzy Bunny Movie Guns, on the theory that a company consisting of combat veterans who make and sell machine guns and supressors don't need a tough name. His deconstruction of the NYT's screed is not to be missed.
I think Mr. Correia needs to run for public office.
By the way, he also wrote a marvelously addictive book, Monster Hunter International, that is currently unavailable but will be back in print from Baen Books in 2009. It's a must-read.
UPDATE -- In the fine tradition of flagrant elitism displayed by anti-gun nabobs everywhere, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger has a permit to carry a concealed handgun! Oh, the humanity!
