Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton hammered five businesses or organizations that ban off-duty cops from carrying on their premises, in violation of Texas state law.  Among these was the Texas State Fair.  Kudos to AG Paxton for not only using common sense, but holding noncompliant feet to the fire. Anyone…

Did Justice Brown let slip that the Chevron Deference Doctrine is about to be a thing of the past at oral arguments in another case? Mark Smith at Four Boxes Diner covers it and makes a VERY good observation of how not only Justice Brown may have accidentally disclosed that…

Well now.  Someone ignored the "No Guns" signs on a CTA bus Tuesday night.  The scofflaw might have saved his own life or the life of someone else by ignoring the "no guns" sign.  Or maybe he didn't bother with the license at all, believing the 2nd Amendment was all…

Illinois is a deep blue state on the whole. And along with deep blue comes a disregard of and even a hatred for issues like gun rights for the little people among many in the political class – even among some Republicans. What’s surprised me in this election season is…

"Crime is down!" says Governor Pritzker the professional carnival barker.  Despite his claims, reality bit him on his rather large back end Tuesday into Wednesday in Murder City.  Nine people were murdered, including two people sitting in a car. The good news, if you can call it that, is that…

The gun control jihadists in Springfield, smelling blood in the water from a court system in Illinois that doesn't recognize their role as inferior courts as per the US Constitution, have introduced some certifiably insane civilian disarmament measures.  Included among them: A bill to require that every person applying for…

An Obama-appointed judge struck down the federal prohibition on illegal aliens possessing firearms in America.  This happened in the Northern District of Illinois in the case of US v. Carbajal-Flores. It is an "as applied" decision, meaning it stands just for Mr. Carbajal-Flores.  However if the decision is allowed to…

Remember that law that the Democrats passed to limit legal challenges to their gun control laws to Cook and Sangamon County courts?  Yeah, it applies to any challenge to Illinois law, but was passed because of the bevy of suits filed across the state forced the AG's men to come…
