We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
So some guy starts beating on your front door demanding you open it. He's loud, obnoxious and pretty insistent that you're going to open that door. Sixteen seconds after you first hear the beating on the door, he kicks open your front door and strolls on inside, still yelling profanity…
So Mas Ayoob did a pocket dump for his "shoot me first" vest recently. It's partially tongue-in-cheek, so don't feel like you have to run out and buy a book to do it right. And while you're there, check out this one by Ayoob, entitled "IMAGINE." More on…
A couple of days ago, I emailed the Illinois State Police a media query about an incident that occurred this past Sunday on I-55. A young woman with a CCW license was stopped between Bloomington and Chicago for a traffic infraction. Before the stop concluded, the Trooper asked to see…

Well, turns out the complaints of ATF making laws by administrative measures which go too far, or reverse their previously announced measures- about what a firearm is or is not, are getting attention this week in two federal venues. Yes, a federal judge in Texas stepped in to grant a…
Yesterday, we wrote about an incident on I-55 between Bloomington and Chicago where a young woman was pulled over for a traffic violation. As a CCW holder, she did everything she could to make the event as safe and non-threatening as possible for the Illinois State Trooper. Late yesterday, I…
