Common Sense Gun Laws
Sure, I like the fact that Wisconsin made it easier for active duty military and retired police to get concealed carry permits, but what really makes sense to eliminate senseless violence perpetrated by (bad) people with guns is this: Get caught as a felon in possession, three years in prison.

I Like These Signs
Speaking of government partnering with responsible citizens, a town in Pennsylvania is adding a line to the welcome to the town signs, stating “This is not a gun free zone.” Quote of the day is from Township Supervisor Stephen Mohr: “The first word on there is “Welcome”… we have a lot here that we take pride…

IL Launches CCW Permit Application Web Site
IL has launched the website to apply for a concealed carry permit, making it at least theoretically possible to get a permit, or carry without one, in every state in the Union.

Can someone explain to me why Ms Yewman is upset about being called stupid…
