Sportsmans Act: Annnnnnnnnd it’s gone!

I wrote earlier today about Kay Hagans “Bipartisan Sportsmans Act of 2014” and how I suspected that it was going to be a trojan horse for gun control. Earlier today Republicans who had cosponsored the bill also apparently felt the same way, and voted to kill the bill. Gun owners: 1 Kay Hagans attempt to save face with gun owners: 0

Kay Hagan Bringing Gun Control Fight to Senate

Kay Hagan (D – NC) has been championing the “Bipartisan Sportsmans Act of 2014” which is a bill originally introduced to allow more hunting and shooting privileges on federal land. I’ve been skeptical of this bill since it was introduced by Hagan. She is reviled by most gun owners here in NC, even after her surprising vote on Manchin-Toomey last year. The Washing Post is reporting that the new Sportsmans Act is going to be …

Zomg!!!”, “Hit this important poll!”, “Vote right now!” Why do …

As a gun blogger (I think I’ve achieved that status now?) I’m going to come out and …

Ben sent me this information late last night, and I felt compelled to share: Someone over at Reddit has done some awesome research and noticed that as soon as concealed carry became legal at Colorado State University, violent crime fell through the floor. You know what’s sad about this? Under the insane anti-gun laws that were passed in Colorado earlier this year, concealed carry on college campuses is no longer legal. You might remember some …

Drinking and Carrying

Recently Illinois passed a concealed carry law that allows for restaurant carry. This happened right around the same time that HB937 was passed in NC which will also allow for carrying a concealed handgun in an establishment where alcohol is sold and consumed. The anti-gun media is having a field day with this in both states, which we expected would happen. What I didn’t expect was that so many people would spread blatant untruths about …
