Actor’s $100K donation to benefit Phoenix officers

Gift expected to buy 50 semi-automatic rifles for Phoenix officers

by Michael Ferraresi - Dec. 23, 2008 12:00 AM

An unexpected donation from actor David Spade is expected to provide Phoenix police with enough money to buy an additional 50 semi-automatic rifles for patrol officers in 2009.

The $100,000 gift announced Monday means as many as 300 officers could soon be armed with Bushmaster AR-15s, even in light of recent debates between police and union officials about the availability of the high-powered weapons during the city’s ongoing budget strife.

Advocates said the need to arm more patrol officers with rifles has only grown since union officials proposed in 2006 that officers should be allowed to buy their rifles if the city is unable to provide them. Police leaders met recently on the issue but have yet to expand the self-purchase policy beyond handguns and shotguns. Spade, a Scottsdale Saguaro High School graduate, provided the money to a non-profit police foundation after seeing a jarring television news report about gun violence. Police leaders said Spade told them he was inspired to help keep the community safe.
The comic-turned-movie star provided the check to Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris early Monday but did not appear at the press conference. The Phoenix Police Foundation expects to use the $100,000 on rifles.

Here is an update on the Chicago lawsuit from NRA-ILA Site Updates.  I wish I could “choose not to decide” like the Illinois judge.   I think Illinois has become the land of passive aggressive justice and malicious compliance.   What a shame.

Despite Ruling, Washington Council Still Attacking the Second Amendment

Nearly six months after the Supreme Court put an end to the District of Columbia’s decades-old ban on handgun possession, the City Council here passed a sweeping new ordinance on Tuesday to regulate gun ownership.
The legislation would require all gun owners to receive five hours of safety training and to register their firearms every three years. In addition, they would have to undergo a criminal background check every six years.

Employer Parking Lots and Firearms - A Poll

During the upcoming Texas legislative session there will be a push to pass legislation that would allow an employee to store a firearm in their vehicle while at work without fear of reprisal by their employer for doing so.

I fully support a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms, even while at work. Our friend Peter also supports a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms but views this as more of a property-rights issue and takes exception to laws that force employers to accept persons on their property without the consent of the owner.

As we disagree, we decided this would be a great topic for debate and a poll. I hope that you all join in on the fun.

For a point of reference, we will using the employer parking lot bill from last session that had my full support, HB 1037.

This bill applied to all law abiding Texans, and it provided for both the employee and the employer.

For the employee:

(b) A public or private employer may not discharge, discipline, or penalize in any manner an employee because the employee transported or stored a firearm in the employee’s locked motor vehicle, regardless of whether the vehicle was located on the employer’s property.

For the employer:

(g) A public or private employer is not liable in a civil action for damages resulting from an occurrence involving the storage of a firearm in the motor vehicle of an employee.
