... "The Second Amendment Foundation and Baltimore County resident Raymond Woollard filed a lawsuit in late July in U.S. District Court in Baltimore challenging Marylandís restrictive open-carry gun law."
"'Imagine a world in which you had to go to the government and show a good and substantial reason to exercise your constitutional rights,' said one of Woollard's lawyers. ..." ...
"According to Seattle Gun Rights Examiner Dave Workman, the SAF filed the suit on behalf of Woollard after his gun permit renewal was denied because he could not demonstrate 'a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger.'"
"Woollard's story demonstrates how dangerously spurious and downright silly this arbitrary denial is." ... |

Last call for this Saturday's armed, peaceable rallies in Greensboro, NC and Capitan, NM. Details at the link.
“We want to remind Americans that they have a basic human right to keep and bear arms – both for self-defense and to preserve individual freedom – that is not only enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but is protected only by Americans’ willingness to actually exercise that right. Just as is true with free speech, freedom of assembly, and every other right guaranteed by the Constitution – if you don’t insist on your Constitutional freedoms by exercising them in public, you will lose them.” |

"Negligent discharge is not only bad for the person who politically shoots herself in the foot - as in the case of anti-gun liberals who carry concealed weapons - it is also a danger to the community."
"I don't know if you noticed this or not this week, but several sites are reporting that conservative hosts and businesspeople are carrying concealed handguns. FOX News' Roger Ailes is reported to carry a concealed handgun in New York. Sean Hannity is reported to carry, too."
"Yeah, so?"

"In the wake of a ruling last week by federal Judge Donald Molloy that reinstated the gray wolf to the Endangered Species List in Montana and Idaho, there was surprisingly little attention paid to a very simple bill introduced July 30 by Congressman Chet Edwards (D-TX) to remove the gray wolf from protection of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)."
"Wolf predation on game animals – specifically elk and deer – is a big issue among hunters, as is evident from threads on two major forums, Hunting-Washington and Northwest Firearms. Wolf protection is the subject of a lively discussion ... on the Northwest Hikers forum. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) recently called on Congress to reform the ESA." ... |

"Every day, about one percent of the population of the US holsters a gun and goes about their day. They visit the grocery store, they buy car parts, they may even be allowed to carry their sidearms while at work. They cause no problems and conduct themselves in a lawful manner. The paucity of news items about legal gun owners getting arrested for firearms infractions proves the veracity of the statement. They cannot, however, carry their weapons into any federal building, or portion of a private building leased by a federal agency. All that space and all that human activity is off limits to legal carry. Recent court cases have underscored that the second amendment applies to all Americans, wherever they live ..." ... |

"Buying a gun in most States is as easy as buying a box of cigarettes. They both kill and are extremely cheap. I've heard the rhetoric that 'guns don't kill, people do'. Well this is true, they just do it with guns. Clutching a wad of cash and a drivers license I can make a trip to my local gun store and buy enough weapons to invade a small country….."

"Freedom is not free; however, the natural right of self-defense was given to us by God and will not be stolen from us with legislation.""If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.
~ Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878" "The danger has passed, but the 'Arizona Fugitives' scare yesterday in Gentry, Arkansas underscores the human need for instant self-defense at all times. The American right to bear arms in this country should always be free, and never taxed (as it is in Arkansas)." ... |

"1) It's a Constitutional right"
"2) Hunting, sport, etc."
"3) protection of self, family & home"

"As long as you are properly trained. And you properly train your children."

(That was somewhat a rhetorical question – one business touted itself as 'Your 1-Stop Assault Shop.')"
"Volunteers for Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle sat next to a table of T-shirts urging voters to 'Ready, Aim, Fire' her opponent, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as fellow party leaders, including President Obama. The vendor, Dave Hart, was not affiliated with Angle's campaign." ... |

"In Tuesday's Republican primary in Colorado, Ken Buck won a hard fought victory with 52% of the vote."
"Late in the campaign, Buck's opponent criticized him for standing up for the rights of gun dealers when he worked as a federal prosecutor. In 1999, a U.S. Attorney appointed by President Clinton engaged in politically motivated prosecutions of several Colorado gun dealers. Buck took a bold stand to protect these businessmen and their Second Amendment rights in the aftermath of the horrific Columbine shooting." ... |

"In a political sense, even the slightest attempt to get between most Texans and their right to bear arms is a losing proposition. That is why Republican Governor Rick Perry is looking to harvest some hefty electoral mileage from Bill White's one-time membership in a group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns."
"'Anybody who signs on to a group called Mayors Against Handguns, you've got to question their commitment to the second amendment,' said Perry to FOX 26 News."

"The court wrote, 'The district court's dismissal of Williams's concerns was an abuse of discretion, and served to stifle what may have been legitimate concerns that Williams had about his attorney's performance.'
