Indians own about 40 million guns. That is second only to the United States. In India many of them are not legally owned because unfortunately the laws are stringent. Of course the powers that be blame guns for violence which is nothing new.
Indians feel more guns will make them safer, given that the country’s police-to-population ratio is among the lowest in the world. Gun foes, though, believe that thinking is flawed.
Canada’s House of Commons voted to nullify their long-gun registry law. It’s about time. Though the bill still needs to be ratified by the Canadian Senate. Hopefully it goes away.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League is opposing the latest “caslte” bills in the legislature. What’s going on you say? The bottom line is that citizens must be careful when they attempt to change self defense laws. According to the VCDL, there is a danger that good laws can “throw out the common law with the bath water,” when considering the the likelihood of future jurisprudence.
On Wednesday February 15th VCDL President Philip Van Cleave alerted his members that the League had changed its position on all castle bills “from NEUTRAL to STRONGLY OPPOSE” and urged gun owners to demand that legislators vote against all castle doctrine bills.
Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon on Thursday unveiled a “No More Weapons!” billboard made with crushed firearms near the U.S. border. He’s urging the United States to stop the flow of firearms into Mexico. It’s about time that Mexico’s president gathered enough intestinal fortitude to go after Holder’s DOJ for Fast and Furious. Oh, wait! He’s not. He’s blaming the United States Constitution and our pesky freedoms instead. Which proves that Mexico is as bad as you think it is and probably worse.
John Richardson explains that the Brady Campaign can’t even get its own press releases straight. They don’t seem to know who their president is when pushing their anti-gun PR. Dennis Hennigan is still making press releases while their new supposedly “elected” president is on the job. An interesting tid bit, that can’t be surprising, coming from this organization.
Former Marine Ryan Jerome, is an Indiana jeweler that was arrested last September in New York City with a .45-caliber handgun, that was legally purchased and licensed in his home state of Indiana. He possessed the firearm because he was carrying $15,000 worth of jewelry. The New York DA wants to drop charges down to a misdemeanor but the former Marine will not budge. Someone needs to tell the anti-gun extremists in New York City that they still have to follow the Constitution. Read the story.

Yes, it looks as if the Ventura County Sheriff’s office has made some changes to their license to carry policies, and that the Calguns Foundation, has played a big part. Great news for those in Ventura County, California.
Over the next few months, CGF, our attorney Jason Davis, members of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, and the Ventura County Counsel formed a friendly and productive working relationship that I feel very proud to report led to some breakthrough changes in the VCSO’s policies. I’m hopeful that these changes will positively affect the ability of law-abiding Ventura County residents to acquire a license to carry a handgun for self-defense.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa signaled on Tuesday that the committee will charge Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt unless the Justice Department commits to “providing, at a minimum, a detailed description of documents it is withholding” to the committee regarding ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious. Don’t hold your breath for cooperation.
Legion’s Fate and christian gun owner review the Fobus ankle holster. Good for concealed carriers everywhere provided they wear the right clothing. Something for those that have a Smith and Wesson Airweight revolver that needs concealing under their pants leg.
