GRNC is urging everyone to call Gov. McCrory and Speaker Tillis to tell them to pass HB937 into law as-is. Have you called yet? McCrory (919) 814-2000 Speaker Tillis (919) 733-3451

GRNC is reporting that the NC Sheriff’s Assoc. is threatening HB937. It seems that the Sheriffs in NC don’t want to lost their discriminatory power of deciding who can, and cannot have a pistol. Two things: Are you a GRNC member? If not, you should be. GRNC is the organization on the front lines fighting to expand our rights as citizens in North Carolina. If you think the NRA is fighting for our rights at …

Wednesday afternoon NC HB937 passed it’s second reading in the Senate.

Polymer80 is a new company that will begin making 80% AR-15 lower receivers later this month, out of plastic. Surely you’ve seen the finished polymer lowers, but …

The Blaze is reporting that Lindsey Graham made some comments earlier today regarding bloggers, and whether or not the First Amendment (You know, that little freedom of speech thing) should apply to bloggers who aren’t traditional paid media employees. “Who is a journalist is a question we need to ask ourselves?” As a blogger, this infuriates me to no end. Nobody pays me to write this blog. I don’t make any money writing this blog …

This past weekend, Sean from NCGunBlog.com walked away from a training class because of an unsafe instructor who repeatedly pointed pistols at the students, and his brother head. Head over to NCGunBlog.com and read Sean’s post about it. I think there is something we can all learn from this, if you see someone being unsafe, say something about it, and if they don’t listen, get away from them. I don’t care who the person is, …

This is pretty cool.  It will save citizens from having to make multiple trips to the sheriff’s office to buy more permits. While I wish the General Assembly would eliminate the Pistol Purchase Permit Jim Crow law all together, it is nice to see a Sheriff making it easier for the citizens that he works for. From the Alexander County Sheriffs Dept: Sheriff Chris Bowman has announced that he intends to implement a new online …

The California State Senate voted today to pass more gun control. 8 bills in total,  all of which closing “loopholes” in the current laws. Most notably, this package of bills creates a registry for ammo purchasers, and requires background checks to buy ammo. Democrat Kevin De Leon’s SB53, which would require background checks and licensing for all ammunition purchases, and store information about who’s buying bullets in a state database. This package of bills also …
