This is great news! Here’s the actual Facebook post from the Durham County Sheriff’s Office. The Durham gun registry was made illegal earlier this year, and there was some contention as to what should happen to the registry which contained registered guns going back all the way to 1935. Today there’s no more question, as the registry has been shredded! Durham County, NC residents, today you are a little more free. Congrats! (H/T Aaron Leff)

350 concealed carry permit holders in South Carolina are having their permits revoked after it has been found that the instructor was not providing the required training. I’ve said before that I didn’t really learn anything from my concealed carry class, but my instructor did do a good job of fulfilling the state requirements for the class. Several years ago when I took my class, classes were generally going for about $150 in this part …

Yesterday WRAL wrote a piece about the now under construction Triangle Shooting Academy and in the article they had quote from someone calling the opening of the range “unnerving”, but other than that, the article was pretty tame. The best part of the article was one of the comments where an uninformed antigunner nearly had their head explode about the machine gun rentals at the range: I would have been all for this, too – …

Whoa. This is rather surprising given Brown’s willingness to sign all of the other anti-gun bills that have been sent his way. If you don’t believe it, here’s the .pdf hosted right on the ca.gov website. I am interested how he can realize that this bill would not help advance public safety, but his ridiculous handgun roster, that allows Gen3 Glocks to be sold in the state, but not Gen4 Glocks (because of their extra …

Earlier today, Sean from NCGunBlog.com gave me a heads up about a press conference that was about to take place with NC State Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. Thankfully I was able to make it to the event just in time. Here’s the video: At the event, a sign was set up was set up next to Mr. Troxler stating that weapons, including concealed handguns are prohibited at the State Fair in accordance with NCGS 14-269.3. …

A few weeks back I posted that I had been informed that GRNC was looking into the NC State Fair being posted against concealed carry in (what I believe to be) violation of state law. According to the most recent GRNC Alert the good folks over there had a meeting with NC Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler today regarding the issue, and they were unable to come to terms. Check out the GRNC Alert on the …

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a sign on the side of the road proclaiming that it had been adopted by the Misguided Moms… On a more serious note though, I think it’s great to see MMAGC getting out there, and showing the community that good moms not only want to protect their families, but that they are active in the community as well.

In January of 2013, shortly after Ben started co-hosting the podcast he and another mutual friend started dropping some hints to me about weight loss, paleo, and general health and well being. It took a couple of months to get through to me, but after hearing Ben talk about eating bacon all the time, somewhere around the end of February/beginning of March 2013 I decided to give this whole paleo thing a go. In a …

Recently, a commenter posted on the NCGunOwners.com (NCGO) web forum about a possible pending felony charge in NJ and how it would effect his ability to purchase a firearm here in NC. He’s an NC CHP holder who was pulled over for a traffic violation in NJ, and he informed the police officer of his concealed handgun during the traffic stop, at which point he was arrested. After answering his original question, I couldn’t help …

Taran Tactical Innovations posted the following embedded post on Facebook tonight: For those who don’t Facebook: “Hey guys, we have a case of some stolen guns and are looking to our fans and supporters to help us and their local PDs in tracking down these criminals before someone gets injured or killed. A shipment meant for Daniel Horner was intercepted by presumably a UPS employee between Newbury Park California and Atlanta Georgia. The missing weapons …
