At the GS2AC year-end meeting in November, we had a presentation of the Open Carry movement along with an internal memo of the Sunnyvale Police.

GS2AC supports all of our gun rights, including our right to open carry an unloaded sidearm in public. We did caution everyone about the problems associated with actively asserting this particular right.

Recently a 74-year-old San Jose man was charged with misdemeanor for carrying gun near school. He is VERY LUCKY, as he could have been charged with a FELONY!

We caution you to be very careful if you decide to Open Carry. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, it is true that more guns mean less crime. The opposite is also true less guns means more crime.

I have said it so much that it sounds like an endless tape loop. Prohibit guns and you get a target-rich environment for criminals. Read the rest of this entry »

There is danger in them thar’ hills… and forests and parks and on private land.

Yes, you heard me correctly.  There definitely is an increased chance of getting killed while hiking and hunting.  No, it is not due to the legal hunters or people who have concealed weapons (CCW) permits, or even the people who carry a gun when camping and hiking for protection against animals.

This makes me wish I had not been born in Philadelphia.  Charles Branas, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, must be a gun-banner.  I would bet if you picked a professor at random from any public college, you would have a 90%-plus chance of picking a gun-banner.

I came across a blog entry that attempts to use statistics to spread lies about the personal beliefs of defenders of the Second Amendment.  Entitled “Do Republicans love their guns more than they love liberal Americans?” the blog entry is an attempt like no other I have seen to group gun owners and Republicans together and pit their morality into an accusation of hypocrisy and hatred of the liberals.

Arizona is an Open Carry state.  In other words, as long as your gun (pistol, revolver or rifle) is visible you can exercise your Second Amendment Rights in public.  If you wish to discretely carry (hidden from view) a firearm, you still need a CCW license.

I attended the 2008 Gun Rights Policy Conference and there were hundreds of people carrying their guns openly at the conference.  In the evening, we went to a few restaurants and about 10% of the people in public were carrying a firearm openly. Read the rest of this entry »

Obama’s adult home town, Chicago, decided to get guns off the street so they tried another gun buyback program.  It has been proven that gun buyback programs have absolutely no effect on the gun violence. Read the rest of this entry »

Not too long ago, BAFTE agents were visiting people in Texas and southern California and asking to see their guns.  They were trying to see if anyone near the border who owned a lot of guns was selling them to Mexican drug lords.

Now, the drug lords can just come on across the border and get the guns themselves Read the rest of this entry »

The Brady Bunch (AKA Handgun Control, Inc. and The Brady Campaign to prevent Gun Violence) and the Violence Policy Center (a bunch of lawyers dedicated to the eradication of guns, not gun violence) are shouting louder and louder that gun violence is getting worse.  They use every report of people getting killed by a gun to their advantage and prey upon the victims of the crimes to join them in shameful public displays of emotion to outlaw all gun ownership.

The sad fact is each success they claim in new gun restrictions and outright bans, like outlawing CCW (Concealed Carry Weapons) on college campuses, the more people die when the criminals quickly discover the target-rich gun-free zones where they are guaranteed not to be deterred.

The Democratic nomination for Manhattan district attorney, Richard M. Aborn, is starting off his run for office by taking an old page from the Democrat Play Book: Gun Control.

Since New York City is a liberal battlement zone and also a self-declared gun-free zone (translation: target-rich environment) all crime is big.  Guns, knives, pipes, baseball bats and even strangulation by bare hands and garrotes are all weapons of death.  Even cars are used as murder weapons.  Rapes, robberies and other violent crimes are high.
