4:00pm Monday, October 28, 2013
The following letter to the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer was published last week. The letter does an excellent job of addressing the supposed racial aspects of certain self-defense laws.

My first stop was the closest Walmart. I wandered into the sporting goods section and there...

by Jeff Knox When two teams of cowardly, Muslim extremist terrorists stormed the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya last month, police and government forces were slow to respond, but local gun owners were not.

by C. D. Michel "It started with a coffee date. Now I'm married with kids. How the heck did that happen?" How indeed? Life sneaks up on us. Change occurs in tiny increments.

4:00pm Monday, October 21, 2013
by Greg Ellifritz I travel quite a bit. Most of my adventures take place in third world countries where I can't carry my gun. But whenever I travel anywhere in the United States, I bring a couple pistols...even when traveling by air. I flew out west for a camping trip with some friends a few weeks ago.

8:00am Thursday, October 10, 2013
by Jeff Knox When Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz posted a public letter asking gun owners not to bring their guns into Starbucks stores, some in the media and anti-rights crowd declared it a victory, while some in the gun-rights crowd called it a declaration of war.
