Legislative sessions in Arizona are predictable in a few ways: There will be arguments over education funding, at least one seemingly popular bill will die without a hearing, someone will pick a fight with the cities and towns and it seems the 2020 legislative session will feature, in part, a battle over so-called sanctuary cities. Lawmakers are already proposing bills to effectively prevent municipalities from establishing sanctuary policies or penalizing them for the consequences, all while Tucson prepares for a Nov. 5 vote on whether to formally declare itself a sanctuary city.

I think I was 13 when I started hunting pheasants with my Dad. Dads sportsmans club in Wayne would grow the pheasants and distribute them around the area. The first pheasant I shot was in a cornfield at the north end of Maranacook Lake. I can still see it all in my mind. Our English setter pointed the bird and it took off flying up through the corn. When it appeared above the corn Dad did not even raise his shotgun. He just told me to shoot.

Abusers must now prove to the judge that they have turned in their firearms and ammunition upon the entry of an (protective) injunction," Myers said Monday morning at the Orange County Domestic Violence Commission, a group that reconvened after an almost three-year hiatus.

The Keefe Report: Compromise

Compromise. That is the nature of the handguns lawfully carried concealed by millions of Americans every day. Do you sacrifice concealability to carry a larger gun in a major chambering, or do you sacrifice energy and go down to a smaller cartridge? Shot placement is the most crucial factor, and small .380 ACPs, such as the Glock 42 or Ruger LCP for example, deliver great concealability, but no one would argue that .380 is as effective in terms of stopping power as 9 mm Luger or .45 ACP. Another issue with small guns is just their shootability. Small, thin, light polymer-frame .45sor 9 mms for that mattercan be a delight to carry, but border on masochism beyond the first magazine or so in training.
