Here’s hoping you all have a great day of family, food, and fun.

And deer, of course, if you’re going to get in a little holiday hunting…

A 6-year-old girl remains in critical condition after accidentally being shot by her 8-year-old brother at their grandparents’ home in Tallmadge Township, Michigan. Authorities have released tapes of the 911 call

“I have a gun shot wound at 2036…” Steve Larson, the kids’ grandfather, told authorities over the phone as he struggled to stay calm and get help for his granddaughter Zara. Larson says he was outside his home when the shooting occurred.

Larson – “Please come immediately.”

Dispatcher – “Tell me what happened.”

Larson – “I don’t know.”

Dispatcher – “Was she shot?”

Larson – “Yes.”

Alphecca notes that the Suit Against Mayor Bloomberg Can Proceed

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Matt Sleeper and Staff Sgt. Curtis Huffman demonstrate how to use gillie suits to blend into their surroundings while setting up surveillance for insurgent activity at Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq, Nov. 14, 2007. The Airmen are part of a team of close precision engagement snipers from the 506th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron who train to target enemy snipers attacking U.S. and coalition forces in the area.

Again, the best anti-sniper weapon in the world is a marksman with a good rifle.

The lamestream media told you:
Nothing, and will not cover the planning or results.

Instapundit: Hey, get some Chinese-made ammo and at least it’ll be something that’s supposed to contain lead!
