Ukrainians flock to gun stores, ranges in response to Russia threat :: 02/23/2022
Even before Vladimir Putin announced that he was recognizing the sovereign independence of two eastern Ukrainian provinces (and demonstrated exactly how “independent” they really are by sending thousands of troops to the region within hours of his proclamation), many Ukrainians were taking an interest in owning a gun for the first time in their lives.
Is the Gun Dangerous, or is it the Criminal? :: 02/22/2022
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The world is fascinatingly complex yet important truths are often simple. We shouldn’t take that too far since most simple answers are also wrong or incomplete. That tension helps make life so interesting as we try to understand the world around us. For example, we saw violent crime increase in the last few years. Should we try to keep violent criminals away from guns, or should we try to keep violent criminals away from us? Is the tool dangerous or is the person dangerous? Let’s look at both ideas and see if there are any simple answers to be found.

Teachers unions oppose armed school staff bill :: 02/21/2022
Honestly, I’m a little surprised that West Virginia doesn’t already have a program in place to allow volunteer, vetted, and trained school employees to carry a firearm as a first line of protection for students and staff in case of a targeted attack on school grounds. The state is one of the most 2A-friendly places in the country, with Constitutional Carry the law of the land and lawmakers actively trying to attract the firearms industry to the state.
The long waits for concealed carry licenses are getting shorter :: 02/21/2022
The obscenely long wait to obtain a concealed carry license that many gun owners have faced over the past two years appears to be easing in many parts of the country.

Storage bill a litigation and laundering scheme in disguise :: 02/19/2022
So-called “safe storage” of firearms is a serious matter, however it’s been greatly politicized. The term “safe storage” needs to be replaced by the more applicable term “responsible storage. Trying to cram the individual storage needs of every American into a statutory definition is impossible. What gun owners know and somehow escapes the anti-freedom caucus, the storing of a firearm might be “safe” in one home or location, but not necessarily “safe” in another. Just like the ignorant and obtuse opinions of our congresscritters who trend left of center are varied, so are the needs of gun owners. There’s no one size fits all solution to the storage debate.

Biden DOJ sues Missouri over Second Amendment Preservation Act :: 02/17/2022
You may have noticed the news stories on Tuesday of this week proclaiming that gun control activists were disappointed and frustrated with the lack of action on their issue coming from the White House. I’m pretty sure the White House noticed them as well, because just a day later, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a new lawsuit against the state of Missouri over its Second Amendment Preservation Act, which was signed into law by Gov.
