Anti-gun Justice Sotomayor’s Bodyguard Uses Gun To Prevent Car Jacking
From New York Post:
Two deputy US Marshals shot a would-be carjacker who pulled a gun on him while they were guarding Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s home in Washington, DC, authorities said.
Body Armor Ban Challenged BY FPC
From The Truth About Guns:
The fact that some states like New York ban the private ownership of body armor basically tells me just one thing—they want to be able to kill you without you having any protection to avoid that. Such laws are absurd, making anyone who owns body armor for any reason a criminal.
Democrat Tries To “Own Republicans” By Promoting Black Gun Ownership
From Bearing Arms:
Normally, gun control involves taking guns away from people, but one Texas lawmaker is endorsing a plan to push for a gun ban by giving AR-15s away. State Rep. Ron Reynolds told Houston news anchor Isiah Carey that “desperate times call for desperate measures”, which is why he’s all in favor of a plan to give Black men semi-automatic rifles; convinced that conservative Caucasians will be so freaked out that they’ll almost immediately fall in line behind a gun ban.
Human Ingenuity Always Beats Laws
From Guns.com:
Sadly, several states do not properly respect their citizens’ constitutionally guaranteed right to bear arms. Luckily, a few companies out there make unique designs for Eugene Stoner AR-style rifles that stay in compliance with unconstitutional state laws and allow folks a chance to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
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.

Today, Speir has more than 200 students and dozens of teachers, coaches and other professionals. His staff is armed and dedicated to protecting their students.
The Gun Rights Implications Of Trump’s Guilty Verdict
From The Truth About Guns:
With 34 felony convictions being delivered to President Donald J. Trump Thursday afternoon by a New York jury—in what is questionably a rigged trial and unquestionably a politically motivated trial—there remain a number of questions on what will actually happen next and how it will play out. One thing that is not in question, at least until a successful appeal is decided on, is that Trump is now barred from owning or possessing firearms.
Journalist Stephen Gutowski over at The Reload was quick to report on some of the obvious ironies this situation creates for gun rights in this country.

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.
11 yr old Son Shoots Mother’s Attacker
From The Truth About Guns:
Authorities say a domestic abuser forced entry in a hotel room where the young man and his mom were staying at about 11 p.m. From there, the big, bad wolf began beating and strangling Lil’ Red Riding Hood.
While the mom couldn’t reach the gun as she endured the beat-down, the 11-year-old could. He did so. And he took care of business.

Firearms Training And Its Sub Categories
From Ammoland:
… there are multiple disciplines within the firearms training and shooting world. Each discipline is unique unto itself. Sometimes the ‘colors’ (techniques and/or procedures) bleed or blend from one discipline into another, and sometimes they are polar opposites. Irrespective of any carryovers that exist, context absolutely matters.
