Month: January 2017

Illinois Carry did a nice job with a Call to Action on Senate Bill 9. The General Assembly is out this week, but will be back next week and the bill may be called at any time.  Call your Senators (and your Reps) and leave a message for them to…

          Thomas Yoxall (left) and Arizona DPS Director Colonel Frank Milstead. Guns save lives.  That happened on January 12th on a desolate stretch of I-10 in Arizona.  A Good Samaritan who saved a wounded Arizona State Trooper has come forward publicly at an Arizona DPS news…

Not directly firearm related, but it does express the sense of many as we begin this new administration.  Barack Obama spent the last eight years weaponizing government against political opponents.  Perhaps this is one of the reasons the left in this country have gone stark-raving mad. In short, the opinion…

Clay Higgins retired from law enforcement in Lousiana last year to run for Congress.  Guess what?  He won. He rose to fame nationally with a bunch of tough-talking, viral CrimeStoppers videos.  He talks about his life as a cop and the false narrative of Black Lives Matter.      …
