Review: ANR Appendix Holster Builder with Polymer Claw
New Hampshire-based ANR Designs has been making top-quality Kydex holsters for a laundry list of firearms for a long time. From outside-the-waistband side carry to inside-the-waistband concealed carry to drop thigh holsters for tactical applications, chances are ANR makes a holster for just about every handgun carry application. They recently sent me …
Looking Forward to the U.S. Supreme Court Standing Behind Its Bruen Ruling
“A year ago today, the Supreme Court ruled to strip away the rights of a governor to protect her people from concealed carry weapons. We refused to go backwards,” tweeted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on June 23. This tweet—and other statements from Gov. Hochul—is an admission she is obstructing a …
The Battle for Freedom Escalates
Just after the U.S. Supreme Court decided New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), it sent several cases on its docket back to the lower courts, which had upheld gun restrictions, to be re-decided in accordance with the Bruen ruling. That’s Court-speak for “you got it wrong; now go back and …
Experiments on Liberty and a Local Laboratory
Ninety years ago, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis described a novel business regulation in a case then before the Court as one that “involves a vast extension of the area of control” exercised by the state. In an often-cited reference, he urged the Court to uphold the scheme. “Denial of the …
GOV. NEWSOM COMES CLEAN WITH 28TH AMENDMENT SUGGESTION
California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom’s policy instincts match his hair gel. Both are applied liberally. Take his latest notion. He is proposing a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He’s not proposing to protect rights granted by our Creator, rather he’s looking to turn those rights into government-approved privileges. His proposal for the 28th Amendment …

A new Axios report shows state lawmakers passed more pro-firearm industry bills over the past 12 months than gun control measures. That’s reflective of the efforts of NSSF’s Government Relations – State Affairs team working relentlessly to promote, protect and preserve the firearm industry from gun control efforts that seek to hobble …
Gun-Free Signs: An Affront To Logic And The Constitution
All gun owners who exercise their right to carry have had this experience. While running errands, picking up the kids, dropping something off at the city or county offices, grabbing a bite to eat, or maybe even just walking down the street, we’re confronted with a sign prohibiting firearms. Sometimes …
Bruen Strikes Again
“Clearly, the state disagrees with Bruen, but it cannot disobey the Supreme Court by declaring most of New Jersey off limits for law-abiding citizens who have the constitutional right to armed self-defense,” wrote U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb in a 230-page opinion that blocks much of New Jersey’s new gun-control law. This …
The Nation’s Petri Dish For Gun Control
California, the birthplace of banning semi-automatics they mislabel “assault weapons,” has long been considered a laboratory for oppressive and ineffective gun control. Here are just two experiments in cities within the Golden State that anti-gunners would like to see exported to the rest of the country, in a seemingly never-ending …
Signs Don’t Stop Evildoers
Will wonders never cease? In February, The New York Times began to question one of the stupidest—perhaps the stupidest—piece of gun-control orthodoxy on offer in these United States: that hardened criminals will be stopped from taking guns into a given area by signs telling them that they are not allowed to do so. In the …
