In Illinois, if you check into an in-patient mental health treatment facility you lose your FOID card.  This doesn't matter if it's a voluntary self-admission or an involuntary committal by police.  At best, absent exceptional actions by a judge, you lose your FOID card for five years, minimum. And then…

Those who ignore the proven benefits of firearms ownership get to live (and sometimes die) with the consequences of their decision.  Take Philadelphia reporter Josh Kruger.  He mocked the idea of owning a gun to defend one's home.  He "downplayed" the crime scourge in the city formerly known for its…

After a protracted FOIA legal battle, the City of Murders finally released footage of the Memorial Day weekend armed robbery and serious beat down committed by one of Chicago's "anti-violence" "peacekeepers."  The so-called "peacekeeper" Oscar Montes, 31, just released from prison, was tracked down as the yellow-vested "peacekeeper" who took…

Crime in Chicago continues to steadily ramp up, afflicting every neighborhood.  Think of it as "equity" in that all neighborhoods have become crime infested.  911 calls go unanswered.  A majority of serious violent crime 911 calls that are answered have no law enforcement available to respond.

A judge ordered New York State to pay almost a half-million dollars to the National Rifle Association after it lost the Bruen court case in front of the US Supreme Court last summer.  Here's a hint though:  The money didn't come out of the wallets of the politicians who fought…

Fishermen in Tennessee hooked what they thought was a "bomb" while fishing a pond near Camden, Tennessee.  So the men call the law and a sheriff's deputy comes out.  The lawman reportedly confirms that it is an explosive, specifically Tannerite and that it has a fuse attached. Really? Maybe the…

The Illinois State Police proudly announced that the registration portal is now open at the ISP's Firearms Services Bureau website. I'll cut to the chase:  *if* you choose to register, don't do it before the end of December.  Give the courts an opportunity to act. *If* you do decide to…

Welcome to a multi-post series of the Guns Save Life group’s Honor Flight trip on September 19th.  There’s FAR too much to put in a single post, so I’m going to make a series of it.  Probably will combine one or two stops into each post.  I tried to post…
