Carry Law Changes

This came across my Facebook and I thought it was worth sharing.  Interesting to see the changes in carry lows over the past 20+ years.

Emily Gets her Gun

If you aren't following Emily's quest to learn to shoot and own a handgun for home defense in Washington D.C., you should take a look.  An unique perspective on rights in the nation's capitol.

You can find her articles here.

I think one of the most interesting quotes in her conversations with politicians came from Newt Gingrich: “The Second Amendment does not give you the right to bear arms - you already have that right - it says your right ‘shall not be infringed,’” he told me. “It’s integral to political liberty. It’s a core political right of the American people.”

Definitely food for thought.
