Notes from the Resistance...
Every month, GUNS Magazine posts online its issues from half a century before, giving us a great window into a past some of us are old enough to remember... A free download of the September 1960 issue is now online. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column takes a brief trip to the past.
"Vote Freedom First." Unless you're afraid to. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column wonders if fear is really the motivator.
"First, I would ask whether or not you really need a gun in your house," Dr. Gittelman says. "If you choose to own a gun, it should be stored unloaded in a locked cabinet or drawer. The ammunition should be stored separately – in a different, locked location. And you need to be sure your children do not have access to the keys." [Read]I dunno, Doc--think that would have helped this medical professional? Do you think he needed one? And should he have given a head start advantage to the reptiles?
As we press forward spreading the word about open carry to our neighbor's in the community we will adopt some new strategies to help increase awareness, promote the cause and neutralize some of the attacks used by those who would prefer a disarmed and defenseless American society.Go read the whole thing and find out what those are.
An Arapahoe County Courthouse security officer accidentally fired his handgun, injuring a colleague Wednesday morning after he ran the weapon through an X-ray machine, authorities said. [More]See, he's there to make sure you and I don't have guns, because he's the "Only One" qualified to have them there.
An Overland Park police officer was injured early Wednesday morning when his gun accidentally fired, Overland Park police said. [More]Paige? Paging Mr. Paige...?
Animal Advocates Surpass NRA In Political Influence [More]Sure they do, Pete. Sure they do.
Gun owners call for tighter controls on firearms access [More]Why so surprised? It's the logical end point for the "enforce existing gun laws" crowd.
COLFO recognises the need for sensible firearms legislation capable of achieving logical goalsPrags gone wild. Do you really need to see more?
COLFO believes that control of firearms should rest with the Police, not with Governments. The Police have a record of integrity and expertise in the administration of firearms controls and COLFO believes that this situation should continue.
COLFO is a member of the...World Forum for the Future of Shooting Sports.Hey, I remember those guys.
These are pretty serious and controversial charges for most of the public to be hearing. Those of us who have supported JPFO's work in the past know that pulling punches is not Executive Director Aaron Zelman's style. He knows--and has documented too many times over the years--that this business of citizen disarmament is far too serious, with far too evil ultimate consequences, to not speak candidly and plainly.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column presents something we all need to see and share.
The memory of the victims of the past demands it. [More]
Again, he was offered a commission as Continental Brigadier General on September 10, 1778. This position would have entailed commanding the Cavalry. He declined once more. [More]
The FBI and other police agencies don't need a search warrant to track the locations of Americans' cell phones, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday in a precedent-setting decision. [More]Well of course not.
“We can conduct any kind of search we want," said McClintock. [More]And the pathetic thing is--at least for now--he's probably right.
"We definitely plan on sending him the bill"...[More]I'd burn the bill, too.
Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances. [More]They just won't stop, will they?
The Second Amendment Foundation is challenging federal laws that prohibit law-abiding Americans eighteen through twenty years of age from legally purchasing a handgun through a federally licensed firearm dealer. [More]What?
D.A. says Alatorre worked as a lobbyist for years without registeringBut of course.
The prosecutor's office declines to file felony charges in the case... [More]
''If I had to summarize, I'd just say it's a lot of hatred and and a lot of anger,'' Hlynsky said. [More]"A lot"?
A police officer in Rhode Island who raped a woman inside an empty police substation has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. [More]Well, at least he won't be an "Only One"...I mean, alone any more. Or empty, probably.
True, what he did was not "by the book." I can't say I know of any professional who teaches firing warning shots. But it worked and nobody was hurt.
Except for George Grier and his family. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column commits heresy against "conventional wisdom".
Hell, if I couldn't do that, I'd have nothing to write about.
Also get more on the pending ATF hearing, revisit a disarmed vet and watch me talk T-shirts with a guy in a suit.

When we last visited Ramsey County, Minnesota Sheriff Bob Fletcher, he was left trying to explain just why his handgun carry permit denial rate was so much higher than any other county in Minnesota, and exactly why the data that his own office reported to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency required by law to collect such numbers once a year from each of the 87 counties in Minnesota) appeared to provide direct evidence that someone in Fletcher's office was trying to hide an even higher denial rate from the BCA as well as the public at large. [More]Why?
"The Senate Committee on the Judiciary has scheduled a hearing entitled 'Firearms in Commerce: Assessing the Need for Reform in the Federal Regulatory Process' for Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building," the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary website informs us. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks what's it all about. I wish I could say it's unbelievable how getting a straight answer out of some people is like pulling teeth, but I would actually expect nothing less than what is chronicled here.
