We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
So you have a braced “pistol.” Welcome to the club. You have a host of options to remain legal. At the same time, you will need to act before the end of May, so you have plenty of time to weigh your options and to watch the court proceedings. There's…
KWAME LOSES #1: Effingham County Yesterday, a judge in Effingham County heard arguments back and forth on whether or not to stay Tom DeVore's Effingham County cases. The judge ruled against the defendants - the State of Illinois - and said the case will move forward. Oral arguments on objections…
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul firmly believes that the Macon County final judgement ruling the new Illinois Firearm Ban Act facially unconstitutional means little to nothing. At an event in Chicago this past weekend, he was asked about it. His response, after a giggle? "It's the law." We'll leave…
In a classic illustration of fear porn, the Royal Australian Air Force shut down airspace over an air force base to test fire a "high-powered" single-shot .50 caliber rifle. That's right: a single-shot rifle. When it comes to firearms, it's all about sensationalism in service to civilian disarmament to help…

What's more, there's the seldom-exercised provision allowing open carry with a carry license. Problem is, many if not most cops aren't familiar with it. So imagine a heavily tattooed black man on the…
At a status hearing back in February, Judge Stephen McGlynn told the attorneys not to bury him in paper. He mentioned it three times! So what did Kwame the Magnificent do six days later? He filed just shy of 1500 pages of briefs and arguments - three reams' worth of…
In Rantoul Tuesday evening, Guns Save Life hosted long-time trainer Frank Hubbard. A retired Decatur cop who now serves as chief of the Decatur Park District Police (who patrol 6000 acres of properties, including the airport), Chief Hubbard gave a candid discussion on the importance of training, both mental and…
Tell the City Fathers (and City Mothers) in Peoria 'THANK YOU' for their misguided gun buyback program last November. The point of the program was to "take back the streets." As if buying unwanted guns from law-abiding gun owners will allow do-gooders to "take back" anything. Since we sometimes can't…
