A federal judge on Thursday halted key provisions of New York’s gun law to restrict where law-abiding citizens can carry firearms in public. In a 53-page ruling, Judge Glenn Suddaby of the Northern District said the state’s increasing location-specific bans of where concealed guns can’t be carried were trampling the …
A “New Vision of Public Safety” – Don’t Call the Police
Progressive politicians have gone one better than “defund the police” and are now recommending that constituents refrain from contacting law enforcement. Two Democrats in New York State, Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City council member Tiffany Cabán, have collaborated on a “public safety resource guide” distributed to small …

Local Work By Anti-Gun Radicals Emphasizes Need For Preemption

Is A Pistol Light A Good Idea?
I’m on record (extensively at this point) as being adamantly insistent that a weapon-mounted light (WML) is just not any kind of necessity on a daily CCW handgun. “Whoa, Tam!” says someone at this point, “Are you saying flashlights aren’t necessary?” No, I’m saying nothing of the sort. I don’t …
