Florida Will Soon Have Open Carry
From Ammoland:
GOA and Hughes sued State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl and St Lucie County Sherriff Keith Pearson over the state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms. Florida law bans the practice unless the carrier is engaged in the act of hunting or fishing. All other citizens open carrying a firearm are subject to arrest. Florida is one of the only states in the country not to allow the open carrying of guns. The plaintiffs in the case believe the law is unconstitutional and violates the Second Amendment.
TX AG Paxton Sues Dallas Over State Fair Gun Ban
From Bearing Arms:
With the fair set to kick off in less than a month, Paxton followed through on his threat on Thursday by suing the city and the state fair in district court. Paxton is asking the court to block the ban through both temporary and permanent injunctions, arguing that while While some portions of Fair Park are “gun-free zones” as established by state statute, the “vast majority of the 277-acre Fair Park in Dallas is not a place where weapons or firearms are prohibited.”
If the fair moves forward with its carry ban, Paxton says lawful gun owners are either subject to arrest, or are going to be forced to comply with an unlawful rule in order to enter the fair.
Texas AG Threatens Suit Over State Fair Gun Ban
From The Truth About Guns:
According to the AG’s office, in 2002 the City of Dallas entered into a 25-year lease with the State Fair of Texas authorizing the nonprofit organization to take control of the governmental function of Fair Park during the 24 days of the annual event. Consequently, the new carry rule directly violates state law, which permits licensed gun owners to lawfully carry in places owned or leased by governmental entities unless otherwise prohibited by state law.
“Texas law clearly states that license to carry holders may not be prevented from carrying a firearm on property owned or leased by the government unless otherwise prevented by state statute,” Paxton said in a news release from his office. “The State Fair of Texas’s recent policy that infringes on LTC holders’ Second Amendment rights is unlawful. Dallas has 15 days to fix the issue, otherwise I will see them in court.”
NYCPD Now Issuing CHL For Out Of State Permits
From Ammoland:
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) will start processing concealed carry permits for out-of-state residents to avoid a possible lawsuit. NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban signed the new rule on August 1, and NYC Mayor Eric Adams signed the order on August 6. It was released to the public on August 9. The new rule goes into effect immediately.
New Jersey CCW Applications Soar After Bruen
From The Truth About Guns:
According to a recent article in the New Jersey Monitor, more than 41,000 New Jerseyans applied for carry permits in the two years since the Bruen decision. That number is more than 25-times the number of citizens—1,588—who applied for a permit in the two years prior to the court ruling.
Make Sure Your Gun Owning Friends Are Registered To Vote
This is surprising, shocking, and altogether unacceptable. Voting is a Sacred Right and a tremendously important responsibility. The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that Ten Million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This is no small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.
Gun Groups Want Repeal Of Post Office Ban
From Bearing Arms:
The Firearms Policy Coalition and the Second Amendment Foundation are teaming up once again, this time to take on the federal statute that treats all postal facilities as “sensitive places” where guns are banned.
In a new lawsuit filed in a federal court in Texas, the Second Amendment groups, along with two Texas gun owners, allege the prohibition on firearms is a direct infringement on the right to bear arms.
New Gun Owners Since 2020 Equals The Population of Florida
From NSSF:
Firearm industry data has revealed something astounding. In a major shift since 2020, a population the size of Florida has become first-time, brand-new gun owners. That’s right – more than 22.3 million people who previously had decided firearm ownership wasn’t for them looked around, decided they didn’t like what they were seeing, jumped off the fence and lawfully purchased a gun at retail.
Amazon Driver Kills Carjacker
From Bearing Arms:
An initial investigation showed that the Amazon driver was working in the area when they were approached by the suspect. The suspect attempted to take the worker’s vehicle at gunpoint.
At some point during the altercation, the suspect was shot by the worker. The suspect tried to drive away in the worker’s vehicle after sustaining the gunshot wound, but crashed the vehicle shortly after driving away.
Cleveland EMS pronounced the suspect dead at the scene.
TV Shows Now Attacking Legal Gun Possession
From Bearing Arms:
Why are two characters in search of “the perfect nanny”? Lopez fired her nanny towards the beginning of the episode because a gun fell out of the nanny’s purse. The way ABC set the stage made the nanny look like a rogue cowboy. A purse got moved and the gun fell out of it, not in a holster or anything.
If there were to be a complaint here, it’d revolve around ways a person could achieve responsible off-body carry. But that’s not how it all went down. “What the hell is a gun doing in your purse?” Lopez asked the nanny. She replied, “It’s for protection. I have a permit.” Lopez declared, “Not in my house you don’t.”

Carrying In A National Park Is Still Confusing
From The Truth About Guns:
Sadly, visitors still face a bit of a minefield. While you can lawfully carry in a national park according to the laws of the state the park is in, “federal facilities” within the parks are still off limits. This basically means any building in which NPS personnel work, so the visitor center, many bathrooms and showers, and even some hotels are off limits. Worse, the National Park Service has stretched the reasonable definition of “building” to include natural structures like the caves at Carlsbad Caverns.
