What's the best way to win a gunfight?  Do NOT be there. Chicago is expecting another rehash of last weekend's "takeover" of downtown by a bunch of thugs and hoodlums.  Seems they liked all the fun they had last time and they probably liked the media attention their antics drew. …

Two YouTube videos worth your time today going into the weekend.   First, Todd Vandermyde in his Freedom's Steel page on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.  A key takeaway for me (but maybe you'll key in on something else...) "I'm in a good frame of mind about where we're and…

The US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals declined to reverse a Northern District of Illinois federal judge and issue preliminary injunctive relief blocking the new Illinois Firearm Ban Act.  Ironically, this is the second "win" of sorts for Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul - and neither of them came as…

More and more video clips are getting posted to social media, twitter, etc. from the violent mobs running roughshod over downtown Chicago. Included among them is this one.  Note how the mob sees a single white female and proceeds to savagely beat her.  This takes place at 129 N. Wabash…

Things went poorly for four aspiring armed robbers in Houston.  Four "youths" piled out of a car and attempted an armed robbery at a Valero Gas Station.  At some point a customer drew his own gun and fired upon the bandits.  The good guy's shots put such a spring in…

On Saturday night into Sunday morning, hundreds of young black males rampaged in downtown Chicago.  Yes, downtown Chicago - the very heart of tourism and retail "destinations."  Increasingly it's not a whole lot safer than the rest of the crime-ridden city.  The feral mobs accosted tourists and residents alike.  They…

The Illinois Supreme Court has a ethics and credibility problem.  Then again, this is the state where the feds have brought the most public corruption arrests, so ethics clearly isn't a course taught to public officials in Springfield.  On Friday, one of the two justices at the center of a…

In a recent tweet, the Socialist Rifle Association of Minnesota published a post that most freedom-loving Americans should find troublesome at best and outright seditious at worst. “F*** the 2A,” it began. “We are not in favor of ‘guns for everyone’, we are in favor of arming those groups who…

While you've been distracted with talk of the Ukrainian document release and Dylan Mulvaney's commemorative Bud Light can, our old pals over at the United Nations have busied themselves coming up with a solution to the world's problems.  Yep, the high and mighty tin-horn aspiring totalitarians have offered guidance to…

The hypocrisy from the people running our state knows no bounds. When Governor Jay Robert Pritzker signed the Illinois Firearms Ban Act on January 10th, he said that we don’t get to pick and chose which laws we obey and which we ignore. That’s pretty big talk from a guy…
