The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has nearly completed its investigation into a fatal shooting at a City Market grocery store in Woodland Park on Friday November 29, 2024. Based on the evidence gathered so far, this appears likely to be a case of self-defense but a final decision will be made by the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
The investigation has revealed there was a physical altercation in the parking lot during a child custody exchange. Witnesses say 28-year old Luis Morales (the biological father of the child) threatened the mother’s boyfriend with a knife. |

This boom in national defense readiness is not just a fleeting trend but a profound shift in Finnish society’s commitment to safeguarding its freedom. |

In case you haven’t noticed, the Firearms Policy Coalition is currently litigating more Second Amendment-related lawsuits than just about all of the other gun-rights groups combined. That’s because the organization’s overall strategy is focused on restoring the right to keep and bear arms by having immoral laws struck down in the courts.
The FPC’s latest target is our nation’s capital—specifically Washington, D.C.’s ban on firearms magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The case, Wehr-Darroca v. D.C., filed on December 18 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, challenges the ban on common magazines as a violation of the Second Amendment rights of D.C. citizens. |

A suggestion that the Second Amendment may no longer be “appropriate” in today’s society definitely should raise alarms about Shon Barnes, currently chief of police in Madison, Wisconsin, and a reported top candidate for the same job in Seattle, Washington.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the Second Amendment and the rights it protects may be more appropriate now than ever before, considering the brutal stabbing murder of a Seattle Metro bus driver while on duty this week. |

A man in his thirties known online only by his screen-name instantly recognized the gun seized from the suspect in the killing of the UnitedHealth CEO earlier this month.
As a photo circulated online the fake New Jersey driver’s license and 3D-printed gun police found on Luigi Mangione, he spotted the tell-tale stippling pattern on the firearm’s grip.
“It’s mine lol,” the man, known as “Chairmanwon” quipped on X Dec. 9. Then he quickly deleted the post. |

Here are the essentials Shelby Basham of Greenville, Kentucky, an expectant mother, needs to have when heading out on a road trip: her pre-natal vitamins, toothbrush, hairbrush and her M&P Shield pistol.
“It ranks in the, ‘Must have’ category,” Basham, 29, who's eight months pregnant and a conceal-and-carry gun owner, said about her firearm. “It’s that relevant to me.”
Basham isn't surprised that gun ownership among Republican women, such as herself, is surging. |

Like many law enforcement agencies around the country, the department remains firmly committed to voluntary gun buybacks.
“The purpose of this event was to collect firearms that were no longer wanted, to prevent them from landing in the wrong hands and turning into crime guns if they are stolen during burglaries,” Officer Omer Edhah, a Stockton police spokesperson, said in a statement. “The majority of the firearms were legally owned. However, they were unwanted and had possibly been unsafely stored.” |

At this point, the Ruger LCP is a self-defense classic. It has its detractors, but there are also a whole lot of people who trust their personal safety to this compact .380 ACP carry gun. And now, you can save 15% on one at Cabela’s.
The lightweight hammer-fired double-action-only ultra compact semi-auto is built for concealed carry from the ground up. The corners and edges are smoothed out to make the draw smoother and to keep wear on clothing to a minimum, and the hammer is recessed into the rear of the slide to keep it from snagging on clothing during the draw. All this goes toward the gun’s designation as a “pocket pistol.” |

When those gun-grabbing liberal Canadians started outlawing and seizing firearms, we warned ’em about “weapon substitution syndrome,” but oh, no, those smarty-pants wouldn’t listen — and now the violence has spread to the croquet fields.
Cops in Calgary, Alberta, reported that on a sunny, peaceful spring day, some folks playing softball at a public park were sharing the lawn with a buncha folks engaged in a game of croquet when somebody said somethin’ about somebody’s momma, then somebody hoisted a middle finger, and then the fists started flyin’, and then … other hands reached for other things. |

Results of a brand-new McGlothlin & Associates survey indicate that the American public favors judges who strictly follow the Second Amendment and politicians who defend the right to keep and bear arms.
The national survey, conducted the week of December 11 and commissioned by the Second Amendment Foundation, also revealed that the majority of Americans believe incoming President Donald Trump and a Republican majority in Congress will better protect Second Amendment rights than Democrats would have if they had been victorious. |
