We've had some feedback on our post last night covering the December 29th email from Gun Owners Foundation Executive VP John Velleco. In short, repeating:  You can't join a gun rights organization and expect that membership card will entitle you to legally carry from sea to shining sea. And yes,…

I am working on some good Central Illinois bodycam videos of cops taking on bad people with evil in their hearts so us regular folks  - "civilians" if you will - don't have to.  And I noticed this one already ran back in September.  It's a golden oldie, so I'm…

It all happened in the Richmond Heights neighborhood of Miami a couple of weekends ago. …

The Schoenthal v. Raoul "sensitive places" lawsuit challenging Illinois prohibitions on carrying guns on public transportation was distributed for the January 9th conference today. This is a small step that doesn't really mean much.  Self-aggrandizing YouTubers (or those who practice click baiting) will pounce on it claiming it's a BREAKING…

Pity poor Everytown for Gun Control.  Michael Bloomberg's gun control org has been reduced to whining like a toddler (or an angry baby) over gun company marketing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday ads.
