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 […]

Tam points to an Indiana Supreme Court ruling which essentially means the presence of a weapon alone is not probable cause that a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed.
Reading the full decision I believe the Court found a good balance between individual rights and officer safety. Could it […]

It seems that in Oregon they will now send the swat team after you just because someone THINKS you might be CONTEMPLATING something illegal. It is a dangerous precedent and if it doesn’t frighten you then then I refer you to this.
“If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than […]

I’ve been shooting and carrying my Kimber with factory sights for 8 years now and it was time for a change. A change I’ve been telling myself I was going to get to for those same 8 years. Recently this was further spurred on by my desire to spend money with Trijicon. So […]

It seems Trijicon puts scripture references on their products which has some people claiming it proves we’re crusaders in the Middle East. And then there is that whole “separation” myth, too.
I’d love to have a Trijicon site so marked and as is being issued for the M4 but my goodness they’re expensive […]

Roberta X has a great rundown on the Gun Bills In The Indiana General Assembly.
I’m pleased to see mostly pro-freedom for a change. A law to allow you to keep your firearm locked in your car at work even if your employer forbids it. Another to prevent the state from restricting our rights […]

Beware the assault on your right to own toy guns…. the issue isn’t really about toys but toys that look too much like the real thing which can and has gotten kids killed. I’m a firm believer in Stupid SHOULD Hurt so have a real problem with this. But, I do agree toys should look […]

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 […]

There have been news programs attempting to illustrate how it is nearly impossible for an untrained civilian to defend themselves against a determined attacker. Never mind that in the enactments they aired they used professional firearms instructors as the aggressors. Problems is that criminals are cowards, not professional instructors which is why in the […]

An amendment was attached to the recently passed credit card bill which makes all park service land uniformly follow state laws with regard to carrying a firearm. This is something several rights groups have been working on for years as the National Park Service had differing rules for their various controlled properties making it tricky […]

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 […]

If you have then you know prices are only part of the problem. In some areas sporting goods stores and even WalMart are rationing ammunition purchases and a lot of shelves are simply empty. Though all calibers are effected the few most common handgun (.380,9mm, 38spl, .40 S&W, .45ACP) and rifle calibers (.223/5.56mm, .308/7.62×51, 7.62×39) […]

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 […]

The anti-gun folks are always clamoring that there should be mandated training and testing before someone can get a permit to carry a firearm. The problem is training isn’t a magic bullet either. Equal opportunity under the law means we all have the right to prove we’re NOT idiots….

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 […]

Yet another home run by my favorite political cartoonist.

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 […]

As an early member of The High Road forum and admirer of Oleg’s work I pass on this update from Oleg concerning the problems and associated actions to keep The High Road what it was founded to be.

My name is Oleg Volk, and I am the owner of The High Road(tm). When […]

The movement has been underway for sometime to revoke the policy which bans individuals with valid handgun carry permits to carry their firearms in national forests and parks. Naturally the liberals went all hysterical questioning the need for it, predicting the “peace and quiet” of the preserves would be disrupted by redneck antics, our […]

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 […]
