So-called "Boyfriend Loophole" is Just Gun Control :: 06/22/2022
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- At present, federal law generally bars anyone who is convicted in any court for a domestic violence felony, or any felony for that matter, from possessing firearms.

Concealed carry applications, defensive gun uses soaring in Philly as fears of crime intensify :: 06/20/2022
Fox News is touting a 600% increase in the number of concealed carry licenses issued by the Philadelphia police between 2020 and 2021, though a big reason for that increase is the fact that the city actually shut down the department’s Gun Licensing Division for much of 2020, which prevented any and all applicants from receiving their permit. It took a lawsuit before city officials finally backed off of their bureaucratic carry ban, but in the months since many residents are clearly embracing their right to bear arms in self-defense.
