An armed security force is now a regular sight at protests & patrolling certain streets. Their objective is “not to be the police, but [to be] the bridge to link the police & the community together.” Minnesota Freedom Fighters Form A Community Safety Nethttps://t.co/kWztGp2iiS pic.twitter.com/718Ik5YZDu — Unicorn Riot (@UR_Ninja) July 24, 2020 For Romeal Taylor, […]
One of the latest angles gun control groups have taken against the right to keep and bear arms is the argument that the presence of openly carried firearms “chills” or somehow inhibits free speech during peaceful (or otherwise) protests. They present an infringement on First Amendment rights. There’s literally no proof of this at all, […]
In obtaining my concealed carry license, I underwent training before being granted the privilege. It wasn’t nearly as comprehensive as my military weapons training, but it was something. Meanwhile, open carry is permitted by default as a result of the silence of the law in 41 states — which means that almost anyone who possesses an AR-15 […]
A recent paper by University of Arizona sociologist Jennifer Carlson offers some insight into the police’s behavior. She conducted dozens of hours of interviews about guns with 79 police chiefs in three states — Michigan, California, and Arizona — to try to better understand the way police see armed civilians. Carlson found that police leaders tended […]
The small, Midwestern town of Kenosha, Wisconsin moved from a battleground toward a war zone last night. Scores of local residents tooled up open-carry style to protect their homes and businesses from rabid mobs intent on burning, looting and murdering their way through town. Maybe the rioters didn’t expected locals in a town of 100,000 […]
There are a large number of variables for gun owners shopping for a concealment holster: price, quality, carry style and more. But there are three major, over-arching considerations for any aspiring every concealed carrier. Accessibility Most defensive gun uses end without a shot being fired. The good guy shows the bad guy his gun, the bad […]
Michael Bloomberg’s star employee, Shannon Watts, has remarkably low standards when it comes to “progress” in her mission to disarm law-abiding citizens. America’s anti-gun Karen crowed like a rooster when she mau-maue’d Starbucks into requesting that their customers not carry firearms in their stores. Watts proclaimed the alleged “victory” to every media outlet that would […]
“Okay, let’s say I’m in a scenario on the trail where I want to use a gun. I wouldn’t want it if I was being robbed. In the case of a robbery, I’m always just going to give up whatever I have because no physical possessions are worth my life. So someone is trying to […]
BLM Soyboy has a negligent discharge when flashing his firearm around Police pic.twitter.com/4aFl0evkqs — I,Hypocrite (@lporiginalg) June 29, 2020 We missed this when it happened last week. This video was from a protest that took place in Florissant, Missouri (a St. Louis suburb just north of Ferguson in St. Louis County). An open carrying protestor […]
An armed former prison inmate led a “peaceful protest” in Lansing, Michigan in recent days for “civil rights.” In reality, the “Free People of Lansing” obstructed traffic and brandished firearms against motorists while police looked on from nearby. Inaction by the local police should surely raise questions aplenty for both local residents and people nationwide. […]
By Donald Frame TTAG got my attention regarding the merits of home carry, so I decided to give it a go. I’ve been at it about a month, carrying more than 90% of the time at home and here are the results so far: carrying at home is not as much of a pain […]
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller has banned firearms from city parks in the wake of the shooting during the vandalism of a statue earlier this week. You might be scratching your head over that, since the New Mexico state constitution rather specifically forbids cities from regulating firearms. No law shall abridge the right of the citizen […]
