The author of a controversial proposal that would broadly expand how and where people can carry guns said Tuesday he is breaking up the measure. However, Senate Judiciary Chairman Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, said he still intends to advance each smaller piece of his proposal (SB 140), which includes allowing people with concealed-weapons licenses to openly carry handguns in public and carry firearms on college and university campuses. |

A controversial gun show has returned to the Westchester County Center in White Plains to the delight of firearm admirers. For the show’s second day, the line to get out into the Westchester Gun Show stretched around the county center. Enthusiasts were happy to see the show back for the first time in five years. It was cancelled in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shootings.
Show organizer Newman Chittenden is grateful that County Executive Rob Astorino vetoed legislation that would have banned the show from county property.“There’s no reason really to turn us away, we’re not criminals,” he told WCBS 880’s John Metaxas. “I understand there’s some negative attitudes. We would like to overcome them.”

In Westchester County, some residents said controversial and offensive items were sold this past weekend at a gun show that is controversial unto itself. ... “It’s actually sickening,” said Stephanie Frankel, a New Rochelle resident and mother of two. ...
The Westchester Democratic Legislature said a member of its staff took these pictures, showing Nazi literature and items with the Confederate flag being sold by vendors.
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: Nazi propaganda? The ones shown are history books on WWII, especially the Nazi (National Socialist) era. The Westchester Democrats are following in the Nazis' footsteps, using the media to "burn the books." |

Somewhere among its monthly meetings at a local barbecue restaurant, the Greater Richmond Knife Club realized it had a problem. By carrying their switchblades, or automatic knives in club parlance, to compare them with other hobbyists, members might be breaking Virginia law. After a Richmond-area state lawmaker filed legislation on the club’s behalf, switchblades could be coming out of the legal shadows. |

The Women’s March participants are so worried about the state of their rights, yet they advocate to take away a woman’s Second Amendment freedoms. NRATV commentator Dana Loesch took to “Stinchfield” to talk about how the pro-women protest was, instead, anti-women. “All of these chicks marching out in Washington, D.C., and everywhere, they actually support the taking of rights from women,” Loesch said. “They don’t support women who are going out and getting their concealed carry permits. They don’t support empowering women by supporting the training and licensing or simply the possession of a handgun by a female in the United States.”

LAS VEGAS -- The U.S. Army on Thursday awarded Sig Sauer a contract worth $580 million to make the next service pistol based on the company's P320 handgun.
The 10-year agreement calls for Sig to supply the Army with full-size and compact versions of the gun. The pistols can be outfitted with silencers and accommodate standard and extended capacity magazines. The firearms will be manufactured at the company's facilities in New Hampshire.
One of the major goals of the effort was to adopt a pistol chambered for a more potent round than the current 9mm.
In their statements, Army and Sig officials didn't specify what caliber the new Sig Sauer pistol will be.

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
