Traveling with firearms should not be a big deal. Unfortunately, it can or could be. Depending on where one is traveling from, to, through, and how; all depends on how much of a pain traveling with a gun might be. Traveling across state lines with a firearm, there are certain...

Chicago hasn’t figured out this crime thing yet. On a daily basis I get several press releases covering all the glorious criminal acts that occur. Just in time for the holiday season, Chicago PD sent out a notice before Thanksgiving about a string of smash and grabs, and on the...

One of the things that pops up when it comes to permitting, carry, or any firearms related certificate is the notion that some entities want to push mandatory training. Let’s ignore the “shall not be infringed” element here, because we’re dealing with states that already have these laws, and states...

A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to be in-studio in upstate New York for a recording of Dan Wos’s The Loaded Mic podcast. Wos, a renowned writer, my colleague over at AmmoLand News, commentator, and author of the Good Gun Bad Guy book series, invited me to...

I recently had a chance to check out a case that’s bound to make waves in New Jersey. The suit involves a story that’s near to a sitcom, except there’s nothing funny about how everything has fleshed out to date. New Jersey’s firearms laws are convoluted to put it lightly....

California is marching to their very own unconstitutional beat, as they have for decades. Once the home of the Gipper, California has been drowned out by socialists seeking to control every element of peoples’ lives. The law that Newsom signed shifts the financial burden when challenging one of California’s unconstitutional...

Something happened the other day that really irked me. An individual decided to try and stir up some controversy in the New Jersey Second Amendment community. As many of you know, I’m a Garden Stater and am very entrenched in everything 2A related in the land of 1000 diners. New...

The bill that’s been coined the “carry killer” bill in New Jersey is rapidly approaching the Governor’s desk. On Monday December 19th a full Senate vote is scheduled on A4769 / S3214. The contentious and unconstitutional measure has seen some change since being introduced, but not nearly enough to meet...

The matter of personal information being protected is supposed to be a no brainer. Afterall, a certain high profile case surfed on so-called right to privacy for decades to justify the Constitutionality of something that had very little to do with the Fourteenth Amendment. I digress, as that opinion was...

The possession of firearms is a Constitutional right. Only half of the country actually respects that right by not requiring some sort of a permission slip for people to carry firearms. Whether or not Second Amendment supporters agree with permitting processes or not, is not up for debate, we do...

California law that was born from AB 2571 chills the First Amendment. The law makes it prohibited to “advertise” firearms and related items to children. Aside from this being a massive violation in speech liberties, it's regulating another constitutionally protected right. A legal challenge sprung up targeting the unconstitutional law,...

Barbara Walters passed away on December 30, 2022 at the age of 93. To many, Waters was absolutely a household name, and there’s no denying that she’s made an impact on the world. Personally I was exposed to Walters when I’d watch episodes of 20/20 as a kid. Yeah, as...

The New York SAFE Act was a hastily, in the midst of the night, passed and signed piece of unconstitutional legislation. New Yorkers have been living under the yoke of the measures of the SAFE Act and there’s been all kinds of repercussions. On December 30th, the Second Amendment Foundation...

On December 22, 2022, surrounded by commie mommies and other suck-up gun grabbers, Governor Phil Murphy signed what’s been colloquially known as the “carry killer” bill. Cam reported on that news last week, and I offered up information about the path forward for pending carry applications. Cam also reported there...

Just because an entertainer sings a song about a truck, their dog, and a woman leaving them, does not make them a country singer. Country and pop-country music today is very different from the more tar-heely sounds of the folk music of the Guthries, soulfulness of Johnny Cash, and even...

In the process of doing some research for another project, I stumbled into an invitation for a fundraising dinner. Normally another fundraiser is just commonplace, especially in the Second Amendment world where true grassroots activism is alive and well. Every so often though, something will attract a little extra attention...

Back in October of 2022 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pulled one of the ultimate troll moves levied against the pinnacle of liberal elitists in the United States. DeSantis had illegal immigrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts, home of one of Barack Obama’s estates, and apparently a land that’ll obviously be...
