    Open Carry on Public Federal Lands

    The Snowden and Putin Show

    Opinion: Was Snowden inquiring sincerely in good faith, or was this truly political propaganda? Consequently, Snowden and his advisers deem the call-in question was a mistake. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/20/snowden-s-camp-staged-putin-q-a-was-a-screw-up.html

    Sheriff Lewis and Delegate Smigiel Star in Educational OC Video

    You can view the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKtkefEcDQY The reason for the theatrics (pun intended :lol:)? To advance Maryland to a shall issue state. Obviously, this is being done at the expense of long-gun OC. Given long-gun OC is off limits on this forum we won't discuss...

    SCOTUS Needs to Reaffirm RKBA Extends Outside of Home

    I feel we're at a stalemate. To date there are 5 Constitutional Carry states, 37 Shall Issue, and 8 May Issue States. I contend we will not see any reduction of the "8 May Issue" counts until there is a ruling from SCOTUS. The one potential exception I foresee is the recent ruling of the US 9th...

    More Evidence to Support Driving Armed

    Sad story. This is one reason I support HR 2959: National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2013; that is when traveling the interstates carrying for self-defense is a need.

    IL Law Charges Felony for Flicking a Cigarette Butt = RKBA Revoked

    Already in effect as of January 1, 2014 anyone littering a cigarette butt may be charged with a misdemeanor for the first two offenses, and a felony charge for the third offense. I can't help but think, especially with Quinn's vow to decrease prison populations that this is a subtle, back-door...

    Save that "first round / born on" Casing?

    Never thought twice about it until I was at the Nation's Gun Show this weekend in the Ole Dominion, and I saw a sticker on some of the cases "No shell casing included per MD, NY Law" Apparently some states require the first shell casing fired, in a factory-sealed envelope. I suppose it's of...
