Responsible gun owners defended themselves, but you didn't hear it in the news. Instructor Jeff Street and host Rob Morse talk about three new examples.
First story- You hear your wife scream. You look outside and see two armed men pushing your wife towards the front door.
Second story- You drive for a ride share company. You pick up two customers. Before you start to drive, the two passengers start punching you and reaching for the car keys.
Third story- You dropped your children off at school. You return home and hear a sound coming from your upstairs bedroom. You open your closet and a man reaches out to grab you.
What would you do in these situations? Text and podcast available at the link. (13 minutes)

In a 2-1 bombshell opinion issued Tuesday, a panel of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that, “for better or for worse, the Second Amendment does protect a right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense” and that the open carrying of firearms for that purpose “falls within the core of the Second Amendment.”
Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, told Liberty Park Press that SAF “has always said that you have to allow some form of carry for self-defense. If you ban concealed carry you must allow open carry or vice a versa.” |

UPDATED: Predictably, the gun prohibition lobby is playing a “guilt by association” game in its effort to push a new gun control initiative in Washington State, capitalizing on last week’s disclosure that a Russian woman, Maria Butina, who was detained by authorities “has longstanding ties to one of Washington’s most prominent gun lobby groups, the Second Amendment Foundation.”
Backers of Initiative 1639, which would strip young adults of their Second Amendment rights (while asking them to use their voting rights to help pass the measure), sent an email blast that insinuates some sort of indiscretion because SAF’s founder “even attended an event – in Moscow – organized by Butina.” |

I’d hated guns since I was a teenager. It was a gun that killed John Lennon, after all. Guns killed President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. Get rid of the guns, problem solved—or so I thought. In December of 2012, I even tweeted President Barack Obama, urging him to repeal the Second Amendment and “stop” the National Rifle Association. (Never mind that a president can’t do either by himself.) |

Facebook reversed itself Tuesday and reinstated a political ad from state Rep. Matt Caldwell's campaign for Agriculture Commissioner that it had previously rejected because it featured Caldwell skeet shooting. The ad touts Caldwell's support for gun ownership rights and his endorsement from the National Rifle Association. |

King County officials are set to unveil a new "gun safety action plan" that would require all gun owners in the county to securely store firearms, among other measures. The county is forging ahead with the plan even though the NRA and Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation recently filed suit against the city of Seattle over a similar measure. The suit claims that only the state Legislature has the authority to adopt gun laws.
