Leave it to New York City to once again remind us why we cannot trust anti-gun public officials to be the gatekeepers for our preexisting right – not state-granted privilege – to keep and bear arms.   At first blush, firearm licensing laws may seem to some like a reasonable safeguard to ensure …

Consistent practice with one hand will help maintain critical skills that can help you defend yourself should you—for any number of reasons—only be able to use one arm in a fight. Might there be reasons to shoot a pistol with one hand only? It’s best if we can get two …

Gonzales, what many American gun owners suspected all along: For various reasons, the government has no legal duty to protect a person from harm.
