Governor Daniels still has a fair amount of work to do this session but I’m most interested in seeing him sign onto HB 1065. If you’re so inclined it probably wouldn’t hurt to drop him a note of encouragement.
Though Governor Daniels is of the “compassionate conservative” brand of Republican Indiana could have done far […]

People not intimately familiar with the activist side of shooting often ask why gun owners seem mad about what they perceive vague threats to our rights. That conversation can take hours and a lot of references… but now thanks to Joe Huffman all we have to do is tell them to go read Why gun […]

It looks like any toy gun with a metal barrel is the ATFE’s target as “machine guns”. I’m not exactly an AirSoft fan but I see their charm. Remember that these toys were designed by a people who are not allowed to own real guns, these are their substitutes….
With the President being the […]

Following up on getting the “guns in your car” bill through to the governor there are 2 on The Indiana Law Blog (worth a bookmark btw). The first ran on March 6th and a follow up on March 8th following a work place shooting up in Portage Indiana which opponents are attempting to use to […]

Looks like Indiana Dems are trying to sink HB 1065, the Emergency Powers and Parking Lots today. Why is anyone surprised? Democrats always scream “democracy! democracy!” until they don’t like the results…

I’ve now been twice told Sophie’s nose is too long. In those first pictures she was days without food or water and gaunt and dehydrated Then the poor camera angle, because she wouldn’t stop wiggling! gives her a longer looking nose that what it actually is.
Poor Sophie, everyone thinks […]

Let the pols decry and demean the citizens showing up at town hall meetings to express their concern over ObamaKennedy Care… the London Telegraph once again illustrates our concern is far from unfounded.

As a life long Hoosier I am yet again totally ashamed Senator Dick Lugar is a Hoosier. I’m doubly ashamed that he belongs to the Republican party.
The defense spending bill before the Senate contained an amendment to give state issued carry permits the same legal application as every other state issued legal document […]

The National Rifle Association seems to be offering free one year memberships to get new members on the rolls for the up and coming gun control battles with the “administration”.
Although, I’d be surprised were anyone reading my site who is not already an NRA member…

I am frequently depressed by the number of people who don’t understand our form of government and the history of the various forms of government throughout history. Especially worrisome is the belief that the United States was founded a democracy and that Socialism/Communism are the far left and Fascism, the far right. A libertarian […]

Not even a week after 20/20 ran their hit piece, a work of fiction attempting to illustrate gun owning citizens are unable to actually cope with the stress of a real life scenario a woman in Florida refutes their premise with real life.
What 20/20 hid from viewers was the “perps” in their tests were […]

These videos are were created by Bob Basso. Is it any wonder his videos disturb President Obama?

Ya’ll were warned and warned and now its almost here: ABC News: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban. The upside is the last time they tried this stuff, 1994, they lost the House and you can bet Nancy Pelosi isn’t as ignorant of history as her constituents. At the same time, there is no […]

There is a petition drive to create an M14 DCM Program under the guise of helping with war costs. No matter the guise its an idea long past due. Aren’t familiar with the M14 or the DCM programs? Check out the post on Blackfork and the Civilian Marksmanship Program for more info.
And sign […]

Finally some sanity from the Department of the Interior as theylift the ban on loaded guns in national parks even for those with valid state issued carry permits. The new rules allow those with permits to carry their firearms under the same rules as anywhere else within their state.
This rule change was enacted by the […]

In the run up days before the inauguration the anti-gun forces are out in full force. No where is it more evident than in the newspapers where reports of the 50% increase in firearm and ammunition sales also report the falsehoods of the likes of the Brady Campaign. “Common sense guns laws” is new […]

For years the likes of the Brady Campaign have stated that allowing citizens to carry firearms for self defense would lead to Dodge City type mayhem in the streets. Seems to me Miami didn’t get that memo as they have their first murder free month in decades…. Remember this is a state not […]

How the elite left acts in regard to Human Rights. Somehow I dont’ think that is the rosy picture most expect from Utopia…

Think you got it bad? So did this group of American’s who believed “Uncle Joe” and and migrated to Soviet Russia to find a “better life”. What they found was a rude surprise and how good they really had it in America even at the height of the Great Depression.

The Republican website has a nice review of Obama’s statements concerning firearm ownership. At the same time ABC is reporting the Obama camp distancing itself from Obama’s own statements as “inartful” which isn’t even a word but gets the point across that they’ve been unexpectedly caught with their drawers down.
“That statement was obviously […]

I love reading Ted Nugent’s writing and his take on the DC Gun Ban ruling is a satisfying read as I would expect.
On the polar opposite side of the political spectrum on everything else, my favorite Progressive Sam Smith weighs in with positive comments on the Courting getting something right. Sam even includes a […]

Despite my recent bout of pessimism regarding the case the SCOTUS blog has the ruling reflecting well on the rights of We the People. Though superficially it would appear they’ve worked very carefully to maintain the status-quo and not shake the current legal standing of any anti-gun law short of an outright ban such as […]

Here in Indiana our license to carry a firearm is just that simple. The word “conceal” is no where used. It is the same in a lot of states and there is a movement afoot to have the public recognize more than LEO’s are carrying weapons about their daily business. I understand the purpose of […]

Be ready June 12th for the first annual Global Warming Skeptics ‘Carbon Belch Day’ (the comments after the article are worth your attention as well). Maybe I’ll mow the grass needlessly since that open exhaust 14hp Briggs & Stratton puts out more carbon than driving to work for a couple of weeks.

I was readingRush’s comments on “farming out” and it occurred to me that while the Democrats bash the Republicans for outsourcing government jobs through “privatizing” the Democrats are guilty of outsourcing government authority and accountability to the globalists and United Nations.
Now some of you may not see that as a bad thing, but a […]
