We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
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…
