Alec Baldwin shot and killed his director of photography on the set of his low-budget movie "Rust" back in 2021. At first, he escaped Scot-free, and then eventually law enforcement and prosecutors lodged charges against Baldwin and others. Now, after nearly two years, the last of the charges against Alec…
In regione caecorum rex est luscusIn the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is Kingby Desiderius Erasmus, a GSL member They were “Gun Guys.” But not a one owned a Glock, or a Sig. They’d heard Walthers and Mausers being fired – usually at them. Nobody had a FOID…
Bazooka Tom DeVore reached out to me today to apprise me on some good news. As a non-lawyer, I confused some of the small, but important aspects of his cases. In short, in my update published in GunNews this month, I wrote that DeVore's cases had been stayed until the…
What's the best way to win a gunfight? Do NOT be there. Chicago is expecting another rehash of last weekend's "takeover" of downtown by a bunch of thugs and hoodlums. Seems they liked all the fun they had last time and they probably liked the media attention their antics drew. …

Increasingly it's not a whole lot safer than the rest of the crime-ridden city. The feral mobs accosted tourists and residents alike. They…
