In the same vein, you can be a strong defender of the right to private gun ownership for self-defense and also agree that background checks are a good idea before a federally licensed firearm dealer sells a gun.
Ed.: No, you can't. Turning a right into a privilege is anti-gun. |

One would think that U.S. Senate Democrats might smarten up and back off their stance on gun control after Hillary Clinton’s devastating defeat in last week’s presidential election.
One would be wrong.
Any chance of the Democrats turning from their all-out push for more restrictive gun laws was dashed on Tuesday when they chose Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.—one of the most anti-gun federal lawmakers in history—as Senate minority leader. He’ll be replacing Harry Reid, D-Nev., who is retiring. |

Buying a gun is the easy part. Knowing when to fire it is much more complicated.
While most states do not require training for gun licensing or ownership, it is still a good idea. Importantly, that training should go beyond the safety aspects of handling a weapon and marksmanship.
The National Rifle Association, which provides firearms training for more than 1 million people each year, offers more advanced courses on personal protection in the home and personal protection outside the home. |

I doubt when James Madison wrote the Second Amendment, "A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed," he had any idea how much consternation the term "well regulated militia" would cause America. Once again, the boys on the Brazos opted for more clarity.
In the Texas constitution of 1836, a Bill of Rights provision was adopted that stated, "Every citizen shall have the right to bear arms in defence of himself and the republic." Simple and direct, and with no pesky reference to a "well regulated militia." Instead, "every citizen" was a beneficiary. |

One of Florida's most controversial laws may be linked to a significant increase in homicides.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) led by the University of Oxford, found the "Stand Your Ground" law – which allows people to use force, even deadly force in case of self-defense – may have contributed to a “24 percent rise in monthly homicide from 2005 to 2014 and 31.6 percent increase in firearms-related homicide in the Sunshine State.”
Ed.: Self-defense isn't vigilantism. |
Five Great Concealed Carry Revolvers for Your Christmas Wish List

On the heels of our list of six great concealed carry pistols people might consider for their Christmas wish list, Breitbart News thought the time is right to point out five revolvers that are great for concealed carry as well.
Full disclosure — I am a sucker for revolvers. I love the fact that they are ultra-dependable, and I like the nostalgic aspect of carrying a wheel gun for self-defense. Moreover, although many 21st century revolvers offer multiple caliber options, I like the tried and true .38 Special round and the forever formidable .357 Magnum. |

Firing a gun in a residential area of Peachtree Corners is now illegal, unless it's done in self-defense.
The city's mayor and council approved a revised firearms ordinance Tuesday night.
Under the new ordinance, residents may fire a weapon to defend themselves or their property. But all other firearm use in residential areas is prohibited, due to safety concerns. |
