According to this post by David Kopel on The Volokh Conspiracy legal blog, there is a referendum on a proposed amendment to the Louisiana Constitution on the ballot in November. From what Kopel says, it would significantly strengthen the state's recognition of RKBA, but he does link to a...

I just found out that Aaron Zelman, founder and Executive Director of Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership has passed away. An obituary is here.

http://backwoodshome.com/blogs/MassadAyoob/2010/02/12/a-sip-of-starbucks-while-listening-to-the-radio/ I'm not a fan of Starbucks coffee, but I may go in and buy a cup of frappulatechino the next time I pass one. :cool:

I guess I'm looking for advice on what to do now. I just arrived in Philadelphia on a Southwest Airlines flight. I didn't change planes, though there was one stop in STL. My family left with 4 checked bags, but only three arrived. The missing one is mine, which contained a properly declared...

Interesting article on the origin and agenda of gun control.

Well, it's official. The job offer was finalized and accepted and I'll be moving to Forth Worth this summer. The most important thing now, of course (even before figuring out when to go house-hunting), is what the process is for obtaining a TX CHL. I am currently a TN resident and have both...

The TN Senate passed HB0962 today. This bill will, when enacted, allow citizens with Handgun Carry Permits to carry their weapons in restaurants that serve alcohol. Having been already passed by the House, the bill goes to the governor's desk. While it is possible that Gov. Bredesen may...

Below is yesterday's column in the Las Vegas Review-Journal by Vin Suprynowicz, assistant editorial page editor, on the topic of the destruction of firearms and brass by the military. Suprynowicz is a firm believer in individual rights and one of the few pro-gun-right voices in journalism.

The front page of the CA today has a huge headline that reads "Armed and Dangerous" with mugshots and information about three thugs who had Handgun Carry Permits (HCPs). After the jump there are 6 more similar mugshots. These scare tactics are really too much. As to the content of the...

The Memphis Commercial Appeal published an article today about HB0390, which passed out of Committee yesterday. I e-mailed Locker this reply and will copy it to Chris Peck, the editor of the CA.

More hysteria about the possibility of people with HCPs carrying in local and municipal parks. Mind you, this is not in liberal, Democrat-dominated Memphis, but in its much more conservative and Republican-oriented Germantown suburb. The background here is that HB0960, which will be voted on...

I probably spend way too much time online. There is a good picture of a machine gun as well as a video if you follow the link.

This is an interesting column from LewRockwell.com, especially in light of the recent thread about Nancy Pelosi telling Eric Holder to back off on threats of more gun control. Whatever your beliefs about the current legal and political situation, I don't think anyone can argue with the final...

This is the editorial from the Memphis Commercial Appeal from 09 March. The CA has been pontificating for some time now against the expansion of places Handgun Carry Permit Holders can carry and also posted an online database of people with permits to carry handguns in the state of TN. It's...

On Napolitano's show. I'm watching it streaming over the inet at work.

And the Memphis Commercial Appeal whines about the fact that its mis-use of the First Amendment is going to result in it being made illegal to "out" people with Handgun Carry Permits. It concerns me that the vote on allowing permitted carry in parks has been delayed...

The notoriously anti-carry Memphis Commercial Appeal says it wants your opinion on a bill before the TN General Assembly this week. Let them have it!

I'm a little late posting it, but this Memphis Commercial Appeal editorial appeared this past Friday, February 20. And yes, this is the same newspaper that has decided to post the names of TN Handgun Carry Permit holders. At least they got one thing correct. It really makes no sense to...

As you may know, the Memphis Commercial Appeal made public a database containing the names and personal information of everyone in TN who has a Handgun Carry Permit. hso has a thread about possible legislative action to remediate this possibility in the future. Please participate in that...

Note the gratuitous reference to the handgun in the glovebox. This story seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill. A sports figure is emotionally "down" and goes to a friend's house after he sprains a knee. Just because he doesn't have a phone with him, the cops get called. The mention...
