The perfect is the enemy of the good. In a recent column about how concealed carry saves lives, I related that one of the armed citizens we profiled had his openly carried firearm taken from him by his attacker. In a bit of a throwaway comment, I mentioned that the incident seems to bolster a common anti-open-carry argument (that it's a temptation to criminals). One of our … [Read more...] about Second Amendment Activists: Don’t Tread on Ourselves

3 Lives Saved by CCW Permit Holders (in March)
A gentle reminder on the importance of "bearing" those arms...

If there's one thing I can say for anti-gunners, it's this: They're industrious as dung beetles, rolling up little balls of gun control, then busily parading them to and fro.
