What She Finally Understood
It was one of those liminal nightswhere the world felt draped in chaos and silence,where nothing seemed fully held—not the sky,not the hour,not even her own heartbeating softly inside the ribsthat had protected itfor far too long. She sat between departure and arrivalwith saudade pooling in her chest,that tender, elegant sorrowreserved for womenwho have loved beyond their own survival— and…
NSSF-Backed Range Funding Reforms Drives Public Range Access
States are expanding public shooting opportunities, modernizing aging facilities and improving access for recreational marksmen and women — and they’re doing it with a powerful combination of federal support and industry-backed reforms. At the center of that progress is the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, a longstanding conservation funding mechanism supported by…
From Increased Censorship to Decreased Ad Dollars, 2A Gun Blogs Feel the Squeeze
Originally created to automate tasks, analyze data and improve efficiency and accuracy in various applications, an adverse effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is silencing voices within the firearm industry. Firearm news sites and gun blogs have reported a decline in readership traffic due to several factors, one of which being search platforms using AI to divert traffic from independent…
Utah’s Firearm Safety in Schools Law is Smart, Ethical and Proven to Keep Kids Safe
Utah’s new firearm safety education law is exactly the kind of smart, ethical and prudent policy that traditional and lifelong gun owners know keeps kids safe, all while respecting the Second Amendment. With the passage of H.B. 104, the Firearm Safety in Schools Amendments Bill, Utah joins Arkansas and Tennessee as the first states to require public schools to teach age-appropriate gun safety —…
The Second Amendment Holds More Weight Than ‘Uncle Dick’s Deer Stand’
In a Senate Judiciary Committee Oversight Hearing this week, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi faced questions regarding her leadership of the Justice Department. But at the hearing, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) used her time questioning the nation’s top law enforcement official to repeat her canned comment about her ‘Uncle Dick’s deer stand’ when reiterating her support for legislation…

Where to Start? A Smart Woman’s Guide to Concealed Carry
I’m going to be frank. Between all the handgun options, determining the best way to carry, finding the time (and money) to take concealed carry permit (CCP) courses and the sheer anxiety of becoming a full-time concealed carrier takes, it can easily become overwhelming to the newcomer.

How The Second Amendment Became a Women's Movement
How The Second Amendment Became a Women’s Movement
“Guns are not the problem in America. Men like my attacker … are the problem.”
I’m not sure many women can point to one incident that inspired them to become a full-time concealed-carrying gun owner. For many, it’s a series of events including formal education and personal experiences that add up over time to finally persuade a woman to take her personal protection into her own hands.
Much like…

Alabama State Lawmaker Argues Against Arming Teachers Because... Boobs!!
BOOBS!!
First, there was the CNN Law Enforcement Analyst, now it’s an Alabama state lawmaker claiming teachers shouldn’t be armed because most are…. WOMEN.
Uhbuhscuse me?
According to The Hill, in an interview with AL.com Thursday, state Rep. Harry Shiver (R) let it all hang out: arguing that the state should not arm its teachers most are of the female variety.

The National School Walkout movement and the subsequential media orgy over it has gotten completely out of hand… mostly because the insanity has found its way to our little neck of the woods.
Our district sent the following message to all parents regarding the potential for a walkout in our children’s school:
Oh, dear.
As J.D. Tuccille wrote in an article on Reason:
Today, some students, teachers, and other Americans who share their views are walking out of classes across the country to call for limits on the right of free assembly. Wait, strike that. They’re walking out of classes to call for further restrictions on protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Nope, that’s not it either. Wait, I have it: they’re protesting for greater regulation of self-defense rights. Yup, there we go.
Did these kids ever stop to ask themselves what exactly it is they’re hoping to accomplish?
NOTHING. So here was my response to our district’s message:
Good morning,
I wanted to inform you both that I have chosen to remove my child from the middle school today. I do not believe a fifth grader should be subjected to witnessing a glorified temper tantrum from her fellow students, excused or otherwise. We don’t teach our children it’s okay to walk away from their responsibilities when they disagree with adults. Would you be encouraging them to exercise their First Amendment rights if they were walking out in support of legalizing marijuana? Would parents have received the same letter if the children were planning a walkout to defund Planned Parenthood? We all know the answer is no, only when it comes to guns and our 2A rights which is completely asinine since public schools (ours included) are already gun-free zones.
When these children become adults and can change the laws they disagree with, they can do so but until that time, they are to attend school and learn about the events that lead up to the creation of the Second Amendment. It’s a shame government-funded schools and universities are allowed to spoon-feed our children a steady diet of liberal biases but it’s an even bigger shame that parents are too lazy and self-absorbed to get involved in their children’s education to combat the leftist narrative that is obviously rotting their brains.
Fortunately, we are not those types of parents. Gracie is spending today learning American History – specifically, the Revolutionary War and the founding of the new nation.
Based on the pictures coming from the event, the kids “protesting” in Washington, D.C. are very confused – not only about what the Second Amendment is but how to actually end gun violence.
Fortunately, the kids in our district had something a little more focused in mind. Our middle school principal sent this reply to my email:
Good Morning, Jenn,
Thank you for your email today and for sharing your concerns. I hope you know that I always appreciate hearing from you and anyone whether we agree on the issues or not. Just like with those who chose to demonstrate their First Amendment rights, I truly respect your right to keep your daughter home today. Know that as a school, I cannot prevent a student from exercising this right, especially if a parent excuses them from classes. While my preference would be for our students to exercise their rights and share their opinions in different ways, school officials must allow such if their parents make the request. Fortunately at our school, my understanding is that all of the students who participated (about 21) all had permission from their parents in advance. Each of these students were truly awesome and prayed quietly for peace. After speaking with a few who did demonstrate today, they each told me that they participated not so much against Second Amendment rights, but instead to observe 17 minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives. This made me proud.
Again, thank you Jenn. I always appreciate hearing your concerns. All my best to Gracie.
Admirable, however misguided.
As parents, we need to plug into our kids’ education and really challenge their thinking. I encourage my children to question everything, from the lesson being taught in the classroom to the story being told in the locker room. Gun control will NOT disarm criminals, it will only limit law-abiding citizens’ right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment was added into the Bill of Rights specifically to keep us a free people and ensure we always had a way of defending ourselves and our country.
Now, if you’ll please excuse me, I have a history lesson to teach.
As parents, we need to plug into our kids' education and really work to challenge their thinking. The National School Walkout movement and the subsequential media orgy over it has gotten completely out of hand...

CNN ‘Analyst’ Says Women Can’t Carry Guns Because of Their Wardrobe Choices
CNN is the hilarious gift that just keeps giving us joke after joke. They’d be funny, too, if they weren’t so sad, of course.
On Saturday, CNN’s Senior Law Enforcement Analyst (because they obviously know somuch about women’s fashion and concealed carry options) Tom Fuentes made a bold statement, declaring female teachers and faculty can’t possibly carry concealed in schools due to their fashion…

How THESE Responses to the Florida School Shooting Make Both Sides Dig in
How THESE Responses to the Florida School Shooting Make Both Sides Dig in
I’ve never shied away from sharing my opinion following tragedies like last week’s Parkland, FL school shooting and worked very hard to share my suggestions to save children. While I don’t claim to have all the answers to solve this very serious issue plaguing American communities, I can tell you what isn’t the answer: nonsense like this.

In My Backyard: How This Gun Owning Parent Responded to a School Shooting Threat
It’s easy to sit back and comment on situations when you’re not a part of them. That holds true for any and every situation.
But what happens when terror comes to your own backyard? Unfortunately, I found out over the weekend.
Every woman is multi-faceted and I’m no exception. I’m not just a mother, I am also a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, an advocate for concealed carry, local…

How Many Guns Do American's Own? The Answer Will Shock You!
How Many Guns Do American’s Own? The Answer Will Shock You!
It’s been said, “Legal gun owners have over 300 million guns… and 12 trillion rounds of ammo. If we were a problem, you’d know it!”
But what if that “300 million” estimate is wrong?
According to these calculations, it is.
We believe that the correct number is much higher — somewhere between 412 and 660 million. You may wonder how we came to that number, so buckle up (and cringe, if you’re a…

Our Children are Our Greatest Treasure. So Why Don't We Protect Them as Such?
Citizens, Media and Politicians Rush to Weigh in After Florida School Shooting, but Are Our Reactions Muddying the Path to a Solution? Yes - Here's Why:
I was deeply saddened to hear the news out of Florida yesterday and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire community of Parkland. As with any horrific tragedy, it’s only human to try to examine the situation leading up to the event in an effort to prevent future atrocities.
Regardless of your position, your presence in your children’s life is far more important than the presents your absence…
