Good morning, folks.  We've been so focused on the federal side of things relating to pistol-support braces that we completely ignored Illinois State law on these critters.  This wasn't an issue while the Bureau of Parties (Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms) operated under the policy that support-braced firearms are perfectly legal…

Before COVID came along, the NRA Youth Shooting Clinic at Darnall’s in Bloomington was the nation’s longest-running shooting camp in the nation. This year the camp returns as two one-day clinics on Saturday, June 24th and Sunday, June 25th 7am - 5pm both days. Each day provides an opportunity for…

America's gun owners who have pistol-braced guns saw the window to register them with the BATF close last night.  However on the same day, a new door opened! Best estimates suggest there are 20M or more "braced" firearms in private hands at the moment.  Yeah, quite a few of them…

Got the above email in your email box?  No doubt millions(?) of Americans who initiated eForm 1 applications for firearms with support braces attached have gotten them. What happened (or what we believe happened) is that if you bailed on completing your initiated application before completion, it's hanging there in…

If you thought Joe Biden was going to relax laws relating to pot usage, well, you have another thing coming.  Joe "Kiddie Sniffer" Biden's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and Really Big Fires has a message for those who use marijuana recreationally or medicinally.  The BATF's message: No guns…

Chicago has earned the moniker "Murder City USA" with homicide numbers that easily surpass LA and NY, combined.  It's not just homicides though.  Daily life is practically unlivable thanks to bad guys victimizing the innocent without concern for the police. Here are some examples from this past weekend. Let's start…

A 77-year-old man knew better than to tangle with a home intruder in his kitchen in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  The young intruder first tried to open a locked screen door before deciding to slither in through an open window above the sink in the old guy's kitchen.  Hearing the screen…
