This evening I had the opportunity to meet up with Sean from NCGunBlog.com, and several members from Carolina Shooters Club, and NCGunowners.com for this Town Hall Meeting on “Gun Violence in America”. The meeting featured a panel of three presenters, Dr. Meymandi (a psychiatrist who has studied gun violence), Congressman David Price (rabid anti-gun politician), and David Crabtree (from WRAL, not really sure why he was on the panel…) The meeting went like this: Crabtree: …

Illinois is the last state in the union that does not have some form of concealed carry on the books. Recently a decision by the 7th circuit ruled that the state had 180 days to pass some a concealed carry law, or all of their current laws banning concealed carry would no longer be enforceable, and constitutional carry would become the law of the land. As expected, there are many elected officials in Illinois who …

Many years ago, I used to work for the city where I grew up. We did everything from mowing grass, to digging graves at the cemetery.  I was asked to work in the office at the cemetery on Memorial Day for a couple of years, and my only job on those days was to sit in the office, and help direct families to the sites where their loved ones were buried. Often times the families, …

This is some pretty good news. You may have heard last week about the citizen in NY who had a legally possessed handgun who was arrested for having 9 rounds in the magazine, which, is a pretty easy mistake to make. Thankfully, the Columbia County District Attorney has decided that he will not prosecute the subject for the “crime”. I’m sitting here writing this, with a Glock 19 on my hip that has 16 rounds …

The UN Arms Trade Treaty will be signed by the President in the near future. Thankfully, after seeing the recent smackdown of gun control in the US Senate, I don’t see this getting ratified by the Senate. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) talks with Cam Edwards from NRA news below and explains what all of this means to us. I think he explains it better than I can, so have a watch, and tell me what …

Cape Fear Arsenal is slated to build a 15.2 million dollar ammunition manufacturing facility in Robeson County, NC. Robeson County is an area that needs jobs, so it’s great to see a company investing not only in our state, but also in an area that really needs the jobs! There are apparently too many scandals going on in national politics at the moment for the local media to bring you a story about something good …

According to an article posted on The Hill, they may be. The article, which has been picked up by numerous bloggers and forums has begun to go viral around pro-2A circles in the past several hours. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) told The Hill on Friday that he’s had “a lot of discussions” with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on guns. Yep. House Republicans are starting to talk about guns. Boehner has shown time …

Tonight at 6:00PM, WRAL news will be airing a program about what they are claiming is a gun buying loophole in NC that lawmakers, police, and gun shop owners all agree needs to be fixed. As we know, WRAL is no friend of gun owners, so this should be an interesting show. What do you think this “loophole” will be? No permit needed for long gun purchases? No background check needed for private sales? Pistol …

After much delay, and what ended up being a rather heated debate this afternoon, the NC House has passed HB937, and it will now be sent on to the state Senate. It’s time to change gears and start sending emails, and making phone calls to your NC State Senators encouraging them to vote for the bill!
