Hollyweird Loves Guns

July 16, 2010

It’s hard to find a movie or primetime TV star these days that actually has something in common with hunters. You know, common guys like you and I. Most are leaning left and would rather embrace gun control than squeeze the trigger on a plump squirrel to fry up in the pan for a tasty [...]

Are Your Guns Safe with Kagan on the Bench?

July 9, 2010

Guns and hunting go together like November and whitetails. They are inseparable. After writing this blog for more than a year I have discovered one thing. Whenever I write a blog about firearm rights it touches a nerve.
You commented on the recent Second Amendment Supreme Court case regarding firearm rights in Chicago. I also suspect [...]

Independence Day Reflections

July 2, 2010

It seems hard to believe, but July 4 usually represents the midpoint of summer. I know the days of summer are ticking away for me and in a little over a month I’ll be putting the finishing touches on many of my scouting efforts. I’ll be on the hunt by mid-August.
But this weekend means relaxation [...]

Supreme Court and the Second Amendment

June 28, 2010

Citizens in Chicago concerned about their safety and lack of legal ability to defend themselves due a nearly three decade ban on handguns, found some solace. The Supreme Court voted five to four today to uphold the right afforded by the Second Amendment and confirmed those rights for all U.S. citizens, including those living in [...]

The Supreme Court and You

April 16, 2010

If you’ve been following the news this past week you undoubtedly saw
mentions of the fact that Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is
retiring at the age of 90. I applaud Justice Stevens for serving our country
for so long. So what does the certainty of a new justice hold for you as a
hunter and a firearm [...]

NSSF Touts Worldwide Pro-Gun Force

April 2, 2010

I’m just a guy who loves guns and hunting. However, for the most part, I like my coffee black, my whiskey straight up and the defenders of my Second Amendment freedoms American-made. We need to remain ever vigilant against those who would take away our right to own firearms for hunting, sport, collecting, enjoyment, and [...]

Starbucks and Firearms

March 1, 2010

Keeping with my current theme of firearm rights I had to comment on the current spike in publicity on businesses that are inviting firearm owners to legally carry inside their premises. Or, the fact other businesses are posting their premises as off limits for firearms even when legal. In states where it is legal to [...]

Locked and Loaded in the Parks

February 26, 2010

This week was a successful week for defenders of the Second Amendment. Don’t breathe too big of sigh of relief. There’s still a large crowd out there hoping to take your right to own away, but we have to revel when triumphs occur.
On Feb. 22 a Congress-approved law went into effect allowing loaded firearms in [...]

Thank You For Healthcare Reform

January 18, 2010

OK. You probably don’t have to scratch your head and wonder if I’m a big proponent of the current, desperate (really?) rush to overhaul healthcare reform. Sure there are problems with the system, but do we need more than 2,000 pages of legislation to correct the problems? I think not. Heck the original U.S. Constitution [...]

Nationalized Conceal Carry Legislation Fails

July 24, 2009

If you missed the national news this week, senate legislation failed what would have made it simpler for you and I to carry a concealed weapon across state lines. It would have made states that had right-to-carry laws to recognize other states with similar licenses. Currently, states pass their own laws and reciprocity between states [...]

Loaded Firearms in National Parks

May 20, 2009

All I have to say is thank God for greedy credit card companies. A bill passed both houses this week adding more regulations to the credit card industry. The credit card portion of the bill is likely to hurt my family since we pay our credit cards off monthly and the industry will find some [...]

Are They Coming For Your Guns?

March 23, 2009

Have you been receiving a flurry of e-mails regarding the new administration’s intentions and initial actions regarding firearms and ammunition? I have. I have no doubt we’re in for a fight based upon the history of people being placed in powerful positions.
I also have no doubt that when push comes to shove, Americans will rally [...]
