A new line of “less-lethal” guns has made its way onto New Mexico store shelves, and a teacher at Santa Fe Public Schools and her husband have the exclusive rights to sell them in the state.
Larry and Lorie Johnson are the co-owners of Live Safe New Mexico, a store and firing range on Menaul Boulevard in Albuquerque that is set to open Saturday as the state’s only authorized dealer of Byrna Technologies’ new weapons. The guns use a carbon dioxide cartridge to fire either solid pellets or chemical rounds meant to incapacitate, rather than kill, a target in self-defense.

Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri announced that, once the new session of Congress convenes in January, he will propose legislation to eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The congressman had previously co-sponsored similar legislation introduced by Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida last year, describing the firearm regulation agency as a “big government overreach.”
“The ATF has been a disaster for the American people and our God-given Second Amendment rights,” Representative Burlison stated. “It should absolutely be abolished.”

“He’s an older gentleman with disabilities that make simple tasks, like walking around his car, difficult. He doesn’t have automatic door locks, so he would have to manually lock his car to comply,” Monroe said.
Chatham County Judge Benjamin Karpf rejected that argument and dismissed the lawsuit November 22, 2024. In his order, Karpf wrote, “Belt is not a citizen, resident, or taxpayer of the City of Savannah … Belt does not have standing to challenge the constitutionality of the ordinance because he has not suffered any injury … “
Monroe said no decision has been made on whether Belt will appeal Karpf’s ruling. |

While President Donald Trump’s (R) victory is welcome news, it is clear that threats to our rights will not be going away. In September, gun owners received a stark reminder of this problem when Joe Biden (D) and Kamala Harris (D) announced new executive orders targeting gun owners.
At the ceremony where Biden and Harris announced these measures, the vice president claimed “the right to be safe is a civil right,” as is the “right … to live … without fear of violence, including gun violence.” |

In a presentation ceremony at the Grant County Courthouse in Moses Lake, Wash., Sheriff Bill Weister uttered words that would horrify the gun-grabbers, but thrilled an applauding crowd of locals: “Henceforth,” the sheriff declared, “Dorothy Cunningham and Marty Killinger will be known as the Pistol-Packing Grandmas.”
A week before, the two sweet granny-types were snoring in their sacks when somebody knocked on the door and asked to use their phone for an emergency. When 75-year-old Cunningham unlocked the bolt, four young males barged in, demanded her car keys, and started smacking the ladies around. |

In a time when so much medical “science” seems to be politically manipulated to make an argument against gun ownership and the Second Amendment in the United States, Stephen Gutowski of The Reload reports at least one medical group has looked at the science and come out with an endorsement that if allowed to influence the rationale of legislation, would improve the health and hearing of hundreds of thousands of Americans. The American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), representing over 13,000 ear, nose and throat specialists, issued a position statement this month supporting the use of suppressors, often called silencers, in reducing harmful noise levels from firearms. |
