Legislative SOS - Transparency Be Damned

GOC LEGISLATIVE SOS Not content to pursue an expansion of gun control in the more traditional sense where a bill would go through a series of public hearings, the Legislature is using the Governor’s budget to circumvent transparency as a means to do some 2nd Amendment damage.    WHAT’S …

SCOTUS Ruling, CCW Classes Surge and Other Gun News

In a head-shaking move by the Supreme Court of the United States, their decision today to decline hearing a number of 2nd Amendment cases feels like a kick in the gut. Due to their heavy court calendar, we never expected a hearing on each case, but we were hopeful they would at least take …
