Hypocrisy on Firearms Enforcement? Congressman Beyer, Heal Thyself!

3:00pm Monday, May 09, 2016
On April 11, U.S. Rep. Donald S. Beyer, Jr. (D-VA) rolled out his so-called ATF Enforcement Act, H.R. 4905 in an opinion piece in the Washington Post. Beyer claimed hypocrisy on the part of NRA and other pro-gun advocates who claim existing laws are not being adequately enforced. “We should call their bluff,” he wrote. Those are big words coming from the author of a bill he claims would “remove...

I am excited to announce that the Ohio Department of Public Safety has once again brought back the “special” license plate representing the National Rifle Association’s Foundation. It is available immediately on www.Oplates.com or by visiting your local BMV office. Years ago, the BMV had this license plate available, but had a high standard of requiring over 100 special plates be purchased per...

Senator Charges Obama's Executive Clemency Program with Putting Firearm Offenders on the Streets

3:00pm Friday, May 06, 2016
We’ve often mentioned that President Obama, despite his insistent shaming of America over its supposed lack of gun regulation, has shown little interest in enforcing the gun control laws already on the books. But it gets worse. A lot worse. Information has now arisen that the Obama administration is granting executive clemency to dozens of felons imprisoned for firearm-related offenses, some...

5th Amendment Update: Why silence is no longer golden

by Sean Maloney, Esq.
7:00am Friday, May 06, 2016
From our friends at Second Call Defense ... Nearly 70 years ago, Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson wrote in Watts v. Indiana: "[A]ny lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect in no uncertain terms to make no statement to police under any circumstances." I have shared Justice Jackson's wisdom over the course of my legal career with anyone who would listen. As a Criminal Defense Attorney, I...

As we predicted at the beginning of the year, sales of firearms continue to rise in the wake of the December 2 terrorist attack in San Bernadino, CA and President Obama's ongoing attempts to intimidate peaceable gun owners through executive actions. The April 2016 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,130,238 is an increase of 14.4 percent compared to...

Hillary Blames Guns, Not Criminals

7:00am Thursday, May 05, 2016
Despite a litany of rebukes from news outlets and organizations that normally provide her with a steady stream of fawning coverage, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to abandon her misleading statements blaming Vermont’s gun laws for New York’s crime problems. Moreover, her continued defense of the deceptive talking point has provided a disturbing glimpse into the depths...

Are you training for the wrong gunfight?

by Tom Givens
3:00pm Wednesday, May 04, 2016
The holy grail of firearms trainers and students has been to know what really happens in an armed citizen gunfight. Not in a law enforcement gunfight nor a military encounter, but in legal defensive gun uses by CCW holders. For decades we’ve bemoaned the fact while there are excellent data sources for the distances, times, conditions, shots fired, etc. on law enforcement and military gunfights,...

Clinton Praises Connecticut Gun Ban as a National Model

7:00am Wednesday, May 04, 2016
Hillary Clinton – growing increasingly frayed over the stubborn persistence of her opponent in the Democratic Party primary – took to Connecticut recently to push her gun control message to what she hoped would be willing ears. No surprise, she combined her dual instincts for bad policy and pandering by embracing a 140-page gun control law the state passed in 2013 as a model for national...

A Robbery, a Shooting, and Citizen Intervention

by Greg Ellifritz
3:00pm Tuesday, May 03, 2016
A Seattle TV videographer was in the right place at the right time and caught the take down of a robbery suspect on camera. The video is remarkably clear and shows just how chaotic criminal encounters can become. In the incident, a man allegedly robbed a jewelry store. As he ran out of the store, a doorman working at a nearby hotel gave chase and tackled the robber. The robber fired three shots...

Professor: "How can I say I don't want to support students who are gun enthusiasts…"

7:00am Tuesday, May 03, 2016
More evidence that America’s institutions of higher education have given up any pretense of providing a bastion for the free exchange of ideas came this week in the form of a commentary published in the Chronicle of Higher Education . The piece, authored by an anonymous college professor, explains the author’s reluctance to write a recommendation for a former student after promising to do so. The...

5 Common Gun Control Myths

3:00pm Monday, May 02, 2016
If you've ever talked about guns or concealed carry with a group of people, you've probably encountered that one person who tried to convince everyone that guns are evil and do more harm than good. Typically, it's someone who doesn't own a gun, has never shot a gun, and knows next to nothing about guns outside of what they've seen in movies and TV shows. The myths they've come to believe are not...

OH MY! Columbus ABC's Tom Sussi "breaks" old news on out-of-state CCW licenses

by Chad D. Baus
7:00am Monday, May 02, 2016
Judging by his performance, WSYX (Columbus ABC) reporter Tom Sussi believed he really had a major story when he "broke" the news that the training requirements to obtain concealed carry licenses from different states have different training requirements. Last week, Sussi breathlessly reported that he had obtained an out-of-state Arizona license to carry a firearm without having taken any range...
