Last week, one of the NRA’s publications, America’s 1st Freedom published an exclusive interview with President Trump. Here’s an exchange they reported regarding national concealed carry reciprocity: “Mr. President, each state’s driver’s license is honored across this great nation, yet a permit to carry a concealed gun—which, in contrast, is a right specifically protected in […]
By Larry Keane The newly minted 2020 Virginia state legislature – led this session by Democrats in the General Assembly and Governor’s mansion – has wasted little time acting to curb their citizens’ Second Amendment rights. Numerous gun control proposals were introduced as legislation, including one particular bill that will lead to widespread confusion regarding the Commonwealth’s concealed carry […]
When my son was three years old, I could get him to do just about anything I wanted. All I had to do was tell him not to do it. You’d better not put that toy away. Boom. Done. Whatever you do, don’t eat the rest of your applesauce! He gobbled it right up. The commander […]
Rep. Steve Scalise was shot by James Hodgkinson on a baseball field in June of 2017. He almost died of his wounds that day. In the Democrats’ anti-gun playbook, actual “gun violence” victims and survivors have particular moral authority to talk about firearms and their role in our society. Yesterday the House Judiciary Committee held […]
In what looks like a direct response to Diane Feinstein’s latest attempt to abrogate Second Amendment rights with her push for another “assault weapons” ban, Texas Senator John Cornyn and a gaggle of Republican co-sponsors have introduced a new concealed carry reciprocity bill in the Senate. Here’s a press release from Sen. Cornyn’s site: WASHINGTON –U.S. […]
Remember when President Trump announced his support for a national concealed carry reciprocity bill? “The right of self-defense doesn’t stop at the end of your driveway,” President Trump said, in endorsing the proposed federal concealed-carry law. This legislation would require all states to recognize concealed-carry permits issued by any state. It passed the U.S. House […]
By Roger J. Katz We have two weeks left before the Senate adjourns for the Christmas holiday. If the Senate fails to act on national concealed handgun carry reciprocity within the next two weeks, any chance that this measure will be taken up anew when the House of Representatives seats a Democratic majority in 2019 will be virtually nil. […]
By Roger J. Katz The Arbalest Quarrel recently published an article which also appeared here at The Truth About Guns, “Attention All Law Abiding Gun Owners: National Concealed Handgun Reciprocity is in Jeopardy.” And this wasn’t the first time we wrote specifically on this critical subject. In February 2018, almost ten months ago, we posted an […]
By Roger J. Katz Concealed handgun carry reciprocity is about to die. It’s about to die through deliberate inaction or the callous indifference of the U.S. Senate. But we have a small window of opportunity: 21 days left to achieve the goal that has eluded us for years. It seemed assured of being accomplished by the Republican-controlled 115th Congress but, […]
By MarkPA Now that Brett Kavanaugh has ascended the bench, the Supreme Court is likely to rule on some states’ “may-issue” practices that amount to “won’t-issue” for carry permits. The recent case of Young v. Hawaii is ripe for consideration. A three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit has ruled in Young’s favor, granting him his prayer […]
How to Raise an ‘Army of Angry Moms and Women’ From Your Own Kitchen Another big wet kiss for Shannon and her bought-and-paid-for gun-grabbing group from a compliant media outlet . . . When she started five-and-a-half years ago, Watts was a stay-at-home mother of five, living in suburban Indiana, so politically unsophisticated that she joked […]
By MarkPA One of the most hotly debated issues on the Second Amendment is over the right to carry firearms outside the home. Today, each of the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia authorizes ordinary citizens to carry a handgun in most public places under one of the following three regimes: Constitutional […]
