    John R. Lott, Jr., CPRSC. Should schools have teachers carry guns? AAHB Health Behavior Research December 2018

    If one is going to use a firearm as part of their inalienable fundamental & enumerated right to self-defense, then training is NOT a reasonable requirement. Self-defense against a wacko school shooter is not a government duty, it is a human right!

    John R. Lott, Jr., CPRSC. Should schools have teachers carry guns? AAHB Health Behavior Research December 2018

    John Lott: If you ignore the safety issue and just argue 2A points, you will lose this debate. People in the middle of this debate may value freedom, but they are often willing to trade off freedom for safety. Fortunately, from your point of view, in this case, freedom and safety appear to go...

    John R. Lott, Jr., CPRSC. Should schools have teachers carry guns? AAHB Health Behavior Research December 2018

    "Should schools have teachers carry guns?" "Should teachers have Second Amendment Rights?" There . . . I fixed it! Our side loses because we fail to argue the REAL issue!

    Unusual Difficulty in General Posting Pro-Gun Comments

    I have noticed lately that its is no longer easy posting Pro-Gun comments on articles involving gun-control. Is it just me or has anyone else experienced the same thing? Not trying to sound paranoid, it could be for technical reasons for all I know. I am not talking, of course, about this...

    Tim Greimel, State Rep from District 29 DOES NOT support Constitutional Rights!

    My message to Tim Greimel in response to his failure to support Constitutional Carry in Michigan (see his letter below) Hi Tim, Thanks for proving that you don't understand Article I, Section 6 of our state Constitution, which expressly enumerates the right of 'every person' to keep and bear...

    Out-of-State Carry in Chicago?

    My wife and I both have CPLs (we're Michigan residents) and will be in Chicago on Monday. We know that its ok to carry inside our vehicle, but we don't wish to leave any firearms in our parked vehicle once we reach our destination. It is a day trip so we won't have a hotel room for...

    Assault Weapons Protected Under Heller Dissenting Opinion - New 2A Battle Front

    Has anybody ever read Justice Stevens dissenting opinion in the original Heller case?* While obviously written to very narrowly interpret the Second Amendment, Stevens was unable to obliterate the basic tenet of the amendment, it being that Congress was powerless to act to disarm the State...

    Anti-Gunners calling for Obama to declare Marshall Law!

    It you consider yourself a pro-gun activist then you should be on the anti-gun activists' email list. Lately, they have been agitating shocking ideas that are very extreme (not to mention foreboding) as examples of the ends that they are willing to go to in their effort to achieve so-called...

    Alarmed, with good reason! Senator Green's Senate Bill 442 criminalizes Open Carry

    Ok, so I've dived into Senator Green's bill and it is a horribly written piece of legislation. I've just gotten off the phone with Senator Green's office and it doesn't appear that he is going to back down. I'll mention some of the negative highlights here as well as provide Senator Green's...

    Michigan Laws regarding Identifying to Law Enformcement

    Ok, I have been curious about stop and identification issues in Michigan. I have done some research, let me if my conclusion below is wrong: Michigan is not a Stop & ID state and thus, even if detained or arrested, there is no legal obligation to provide either verbal or paper identification...
