Feb 21, 2023 – The Beaver State, like other progressive strong-holds, has a tendency to dominate the news concerning Second Amendment issues. We all know that’s not because they have a reputation for being awesome about coming up with new freedom enhancing laws. They’re talked about often because they work on strengthening their death-grip...

Feb 20, 2023 – Back in August of 2021, we covered a case out of Hawaii dealing with their unconstitutional permitting laws. Yukutake v.

Oct 21, 2021 – The dust is settling and just about everyone is done looking at the numbers from the 2020 FBI Uniform Crime Report. We'll have those statistics to lean on for another year to make and break points. A trend that was in New Jersey, and actually is sill prevalent, was criminals...

Oct 19, 2021 – Recently a colleague of mine brought up a concept that was actually engrained into me very early on as a student, never-the-less an instructor. When working with brand new students to firearms, it's important to follow all the safety rules. It does not matter which set of rules a syllabus...

Nov 6, 2021 – On October 27, 2020, in the midst of the first waves of attacks to freedoms during the pandemic, a lawsuit was launched to put Boston to task on the issuance of firearm related paperwork. In Massachusetts, in order to purchase or even possess a firearm in the home, never mind...

Nov 3, 2021 – This is not the first nor going to be the last bit of coverage at Bearing Arms on the NYSRPA v. Bruen case. Certainly this is not the end of trying to continue to set the record straight on the gross amount of misinformation that is circulating about the Second...

Nov 2, 2021 – "Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use" is one of the cardinal rules of gun safety. Unfortunately for Governor Phil Murphy from New Jersey, he does not keep his brain loaded when needed. At least not when caught off guard. Generally speaking The Murph is quick to reply...
