Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we took a look at some of the easiest gifts for people who concealed carry.

There are a few different ways of thinking when it comes to knives and concealed handguns. |

The U.S. Department of Justice’s new Second Amendment Section within the Civil Rights Division is already paying dividends.
On December 22, the DOJ filed a lawsuit against the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), alleging that the District government and MPD unconstitutionally ban the AR-15 and many other firearms protected under the Second Amendment.
According to a news release issued by the DOJ, the District’s gun laws require anyone seeking to own a gun to register it with the D.C. Metro Police. However, the D.C. Code imposes a broad registration ban on numerous firearms—an unconstitutional incursion into the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens seeking to own protected firearms... |

The U.S. Supreme Court says the Illinois Attorney's General office and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office will not be able to end the appeal from a group of gun owners who say state and local bans on concealed carry on public transit violates their rights, at least without first telling the court why it should reject the petition.
On Dec. 17, the high court directed the state of Illinois and Cook County to file responses to the petition filed by the gun owners asking the Supreme Court to take up the Second Amendment rights case.
The court gave the state and county until Jan. 16 to respond, indicating the court is not going to just reject the appeal out of hand. |

If there’s one thing every gun owner and Second Amendment supporter knows about Washington, DC, it’s where gun rights go to die: Get caught with a firearm in the capital, and you’re cooked. Caught even with shell casings or spent ammunition—you’re cooked. Massive chunks of this unconstitutional wall were chipped away with the landmark Heller ruling in 2008, which finally answered the question of whether private gun ownership is a protected right unconnected to militia service. In 2010, McDonald expanded that to the states, as Heller had only applied to federal enclaves. Four years later, the Palmer decision struck down the city’s virtual ban on carrying handguns in public. |

The National Firearms Act has survived repeated political and legal challenges for nearly a century, but the latest offensive from the National Rifle Association and its allies is designed to test its foundations in a very different Supreme Court era. A new coalition of major Second Amendment organizations is asking federal courts to declare that the NFA’s core restrictions on certain firearms and accessories are incompatible with the modern test for gun regulations. Their effort is not a one-off filing, but part of a coordinated campaign to force judges to revisit how far Congress can go when it regulates the right to keep and bear arms. |

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the District of Columbia on Monday over a ban affecting semi-automatic firearms.
Many commonly used semi-automatic firearms, including popular Colt AR-15 series rifles, cannot be lawfully registered in Washington, D.C., where all owners are required to register their guns with the police.
The lawsuit argues that D.C.’s ban restricts “many commonly used pistols, rifles or shotguns is based on little more than cosmetics, appearance, or the ability to attach accessories, and fails to take into account whether the prohibited weapon is ‘in common use today’ or that law-abiding citizens may use these weapons for lawful purposes protected by the Second Amendment.” |

New state gun laws were passed by both houses of parliament on Wednesday, following a marathon debate that finished around 3am.
The new laws, along with hateful symbols and restricting public access following a terrorist attack, state that an individual can own up to four (4) guns, while primary producers can own up to 10 guns.
It limits straight-pull/pump action and button/lever release firearms to primary producers, reduces magazine capacity for category A and B firearms and prohibits firearms using belt-fed magazines. |

Henry Repeating Arms is ringing in the new year with a limited, museum-worthy run of 250 Spirit of 1776 Semiquincentennial Edition lever-action rifles in .44-40 WCF to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
It's a fitting move, especially for those looking to expand their vocabulary in 2026 to include words like semiquincentennial (250th anniversary). Henry crafted these heirloom-quality rifles to commemorate the nation’s 250th birthday, and it is offering them exclusively as factory-direct products reserved for collectors.
The guns are built on the original 1860 patent from Benjamin Tyler Henry. Each lever rifle is a “line-for-line reproduction” of the original design with a 13-round capacity. |

There were approximately 8 million combat deaths in World War I. After artillery, machine guns were the second leading cause of combat casualties. Some estimates put the total number of deaths related to machine gun fire in World War I at more than 2 million. Most folks remember the rapid-fire, death-dealing British Vickers, German MG08, French Hotchkiss, Russian Maxim and American Browning guns. Often forgotten among the fraternity of Great War "grim reapers" is the Austrian Schwarzlose. |
