"Illinois has the worst gun laws of any state. Only police officers and the taxpayer-funded bodyguards for ex-Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley have the right to carry a handgun outside their homes. Everyone else is out of luck - unless a pair of federal lawsuits filed last week succeed in arguing that the Second Amendment right to 'keep and bear Arms' means that people can actually bear arms in the land of Lincoln." ... |

"The Second Amendment Foundation [has] filed suit in U.S. District Court in Virginia challenging the constitutionality of federal and Virginia provisions barring handgun sales to non-residents."
"SAF is joined in the lawsuit by Michelle Lane, a District of Columbia resident who cannot legally purchase handguns because there are no retail firearms dealers inside the District. The Supreme Court's 2008 Heller ruling struck down the District's handgun ban, confirming that individuals have a constitutional right to possess handguns." ... |

"Saying no to self-protection seems to the modus operandi within corporate America. I put this down to risk managers making the calculation that it is cheaper to pay a death claim on a murdered employee than it to defend a lawsuit filed by a personal injury lawyer on behalf of a criminal."
"The latest case involves the Walgreen's chain of pharmacies." ... |

"This week, Michael bemoans the fact that he shot like a crippled manatee at the Pull for Kids benefit shoot in San Antonio last week. He blames it on the weather, which is, of course, a sad, sad attempt to cover up mediocre shooting! He also discusses why all objective gun reviews are not so objective after all and he wonders why the Phoenix airport should be such a pain in the butt about guns…" |

The proposed amendment, filed by Congressman Mike Quigley (D-IL), would have even more egregiously defiled the concept of patriotism, in that the law would now authorize the trampling of the right to keep and bear arms without a conviction, an indictment, or even an arrest or formal charges:" ... |

A move is afoot to designate the Walker Colt as the official firearm of Texas. While surviving examples of the Walker Colt are rare, we can explore the firearm’s history and importance via the Uberti reproduction. First, the handgun’s genesis . . ." ... |
