You should carry a gun everywhere you can do so legally in Illinois.  Why?  Because the bad guys don't play nice and they don't care about the rule of law.  They want what they want, when they want it and no silly law or sign is going to modify their…

Chicago had much cooler temperatures this weekend, and it's amazing what 30 degrees will do for the will to cause mayhem and rioting.  That and a whole lot of police resources. In response to a melee in the Loop last weekend during which two teens were shot and at least…

So you have a “pistol” equipped with a support brace. Welcome to the club alongside about 30+ million other Americans. At the end of January, the ATF posted new rules that now define those formerly “a-okay” items as now making your pistol a “short-barreled rifle” (SBR) as of May 30th.…

In other words, they tried to out-stupid Bud Light. No, that's not a mistake or…

John Lott knows his stuff.  Gun control advocates love to pooh-pooh Lott and his work, but Lott's studies are peer-reviewed and following scientific research best practices.  Peer-reviewed has a whole new meaning to those who produce gun control junk science - peer reviewed doesn't mean Soros-funded fellow junk science purveyors.…

(GSL) - Desiderius reached out to friends and family over Jay Lavinsky, one of the decorated soldiers who fought with his own father in World War II, including at the Battle of the Bulge. In that time, Mr. Lavinsky got word back that Desiderius’ father had been captured by the…
