We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
Break out the violins, folks. An aspiring home invader got the invasion part down when it comes to victimizing innocent people. He neglected to consider that the homeowner gets a vote in the matter too. In this case, Damon Swanigan, Jr., 22, lost control of his gun. The homeowner picked…
Yesterday, in Clark County Nevada (Las Vegas/Henderson), a defendant in an attempted battery case objected when the judge indicated that Deobra Redden, aged old enough to know better (30), needed a taste of something other than pre-trial release. The bailiff, head inserted deeply in his rectum, failed to noticed pre-violence…
We first saw this at Second City Cop, a blog run by a current CPD officer. On December 29th, the Chicago Police Department issued a new General Order titled, "Interactions with Youth and Children." In it, it gives general guidance that "alternatives to arrest while connecting at-risks (sic) youths and…
29357 gun owners in Illinois registered firearms, accessories or ammunition during the three week window that just closed on December 31st. That makes for a good soundbite: "THOUSANDS of Illinois gun owners registered these guns," Pritzker can say - truthfully at that. It sounds impressive until you consider that 2.4…
by Justin Thyme a GSL member Here we are again, a brand new year. What will we do with it? What will you do with it? We do not get many re-dos in this life. New Year’s is a great time for restarting - or making real changes to improve…

To all of my fellow Illinois taxpayers: Did you know the State of Illinois pays millions to Chicago "violence interrupter" programs? These anti-violence programs supposedly "interrupt" violence among gang members before it happens, according to some rather dubious claims. They also advocate for victim disarmament gun control for you and…
The final numbers were just dropped by the Illinois State Police. 29357 FOID holders registered guns, accessories or ammo. 2.4 million registered nothing. 98.8% non-compliance rate. We'll have more on this tomorrow.
Governor JB Pritzker's life just keeps getting messier when it comes to guns. Funny how tyrants don't like it when the people don't roll over and give up their rights, isn't it? Da Guv's latest headache also comes from the opposite end of the state. Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Bullard…
Darren Bailey had a full schedule today with media interviews over his public announcement that he would not register his self-defense firearms. Frankly, Mr. Bailey is taking the courageous (or maybe a little foolish?) stand to make the announcement in such a public manner. However, I will say that former…
