This may not sit well with some of our law enforcement friends, by we at GSL strongly recommend you never, ever consent to a police search of your person, your car or your home.  NOTHING GOOD can come of consenting to a search, but it comes with plenty of potential…

This one is from 2019, but it's still a classic.  Don't don a mask, grab a gun and try to pull a home invasion armed robbery at 4am and you might not get killed.  But that's not what the families of three dead perps have learned from the deaths of…

The Illinois Firearms Ban Act bans a whole lot more guns than most people think...  Todd Vandermyde, the Gun Santa, or "gun law guru" or former NRA lobbyist discusses just how much more inclusive the legislation really is in these two videos. We strongly recommend subscribing to his "Freedom's Steel"…

Three rabidly anti-gun Tennessee state representatives used a bullhorn and led protests on the chamber floor last week after the New Covenant School killing spree.  Now, the leaders of the Tennessee House are moving to expel those three members for “knowingly and intentionally bring(ing) disorder and dishonor to the” body.…

Pritzker in the last election cycle.  They also each accepted six-figures in cash from House Speaker Chris Welch's cash prize closet.  Meanwhile, both Pritzker and Welch are named…

Tonight, local media outlets have declared Brandon Johnson the winner of the Chicago mayor's race.  Johnson, the Chicago Teacher's Union pet candidate, won by about 1% of the vote.  Politically speaking, Brandon Johnson makes Lori Lightfoot look like a "moderate." Law-abiding, productive residents of Chicago had better buckle up because…

Next Monday, April 10th will mark 90 days since the governor signed the Illinois Firearms Ban Act.  Contained within is a provision that prohibits illegal magazines from being transported off your own property after 90 days following enactment.  That would be April 10th. Yes, there are narrow few exceptions, but…

Oh yeah.  It's been a bad, bad few days for big gun control.  Minnesota's prohibition on 18-20-year-old young adults carrying was struck down as unconstitutional.  Florida formally adopted Constitutional Carry - making 26 states "no permit required" states when it comes to carry.  And now a judge in New York…
