Gun trusts are powerful asset protection and estate planning tools for gun owners, with additional benefits for gun owners who own NFA firearms. Planning for the possibility that you will be incapacitated (whether from age or accident), even if temporarily, is important for everyone. It is even more important for gun owners. After all, if you don’t plan, the government has a plan for you, and the government’s plan is a public, expensive, judge-controlled system that will take away your right to own a firearm.Read More
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE, or more commonly referred to as the ATF) is going the extra mile to win your enthusiasm. Check out the agency’s Internet K-9 page, portraying the playful side of the dogs that are responsible for sniffing out the next bomber. You’ll be greeted by a cute and fluffy retriever holding an ATF ball, and while you’re there, click the link to go to the Kids Page with pictures to color and word games. This reminder of your own family is just…Read More
(C) 2016 By Alexandria Kincaid During her “conversation on gun violence” in New York on April 11th, Hillary touted her stance to fight against the law that has, according to her, made it impossible for people to sue gun manufacturers. Since the beginning of her campaign, Hillary Clinton has shown her complete ignorance of, or deliberate disregard for, the potential liability of firearms manufacturers. Of course, who cares about the facts? Her gun control agenda is focused on emotion, regardless of the truth. I work with firearms dealers and manufacturers…Read More
Millions of Americans lawfully own and responsibly use AR15s everyday, but relatives of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims are trying to use the court system to hold manufacturers of the rifle accountable for the acts of a criminal. The over-zealous plaintiffs previously filed their lawsuit against Remington Arms in federal court, and the federal court judge rightfully tossed the case to the curb. But the plaintiffs refiled the lawsuit in state court. Today, the state court judge decided to allow the case to proceed, although she will allow the…Read More
“Careless” or “Criminal?” While President Obama’s comments may be careless, Hillary Clinton’s behavior is more likely criminal. Criminally negligent behavior is behavior that is “felony stupid.” It’s behavior that you know is a bad decision because it could hurt, and is even likely to hurt, other people. I once prosecuted a driver for “criminally negligent” homicide after he killed two people when he rear-ended them in a construction zone. Why did I prosecute? Because the driver knew he hadn’t slept in 24 hours; he knew he was tired; he knew he was…Read More
I imagine it’s not the type of diversity Justice Sotomayer had in mind, but selecting a judicial conservative, who looks to the language of the United States Constitution rather than the fad of the time, would certainly add a bit of diversity. Read Sotomayer’s comments here.Read More
If drinking were a defense to assault and rape, most wife beaters would never be convicted. The argument by 22 year old Cory Batey, a former Vanderbilt University student and football player, that he was so drunk he didn’t know what he was doing when he raped an unconscious college student, rightfully failed. Read more about the trial here.Read More
We know how Diane Feinstein feels about the Second Amendment. Apparently, she doesn’t much care for the rest of our Constitution either. Her proposed Compliance with Court Orders Act is another attempt to eliminate a way that Americans can defend themselves against the real criminals. Only, instead of attempting to eliminate firearms, this new bill is an attempt to eliminate our security and privacy. The CCOA would effectively prevent law-abiding American citizens from encrypting data and would open a wide door through which the criminals will surely walk.Read More
“I’ll take a semiautomatic rifle any day of the week over a boltaction, and twice on Sunday.” That’s what my husband told me when I confessed my love of the Mauser M98 bolt-action. A discussion ensued, and we were not talking hunting – we were discussing war. Our passion for rifles and history often leads to a great deal of research and conversation. Neither of us has served in the military, but the conversation thankfully extends beyond the theoretics of our living room to those who have first-hand experience to tell it how it is, or was. Speaking with veterans is an opportunity neither of us will ever turn down.…Read More
One rainy morning four years ago, I walked out of Meridian’s largest gun shop to find two gentlemen standing in front of the store, clipboards in hand, requesting signatures on a petition. The petition was to request that Idaho citizens support a permitless carry law. That was the first time I met Greg Pruett, and I offered my help with his endeavor. Idaho is known as a gun friendly state with many, if not most, residents owning at least one firearm. If a law-abiding citizen can own a gun, shouldn’t…Read More
