With the current situation in the nation some second amendment rights activists seem to be very pleased with the wins thus far. In fact, at least one person I know said that he can now slow down for a while to catch up on other things. Perish the thought. Let’s stop for a moment to remind ourselves of just what we are facing: One event to tu...

Obama spent a third of his talk on health care at Strongsville, Ohio on Natoma's case.I want to thank Connie -- I want to thank Connie, who introduced me. I want to thank her and her family for being here on behalf of her sister, Natoma. I don't know if everybody understood that Natoma is in the hospital right now, so Connie was filling in. It�...

I’ve previously discussed the need for concealed carry in national parks, so that law abiding citizens would be in the best position possible to defend themselves against violent criminals in our national parks.  However, two-legged attackers are not the only threat to those who visit national parks, as a recent article from Kurt Hofmann, th...

Recently I was asked by one of the attorneys I work with about provisions for a will to deal with the NFA firearms that an individual owns outside of their trust. I wrote something on this topic which can be found on my Florida Estate Planning Lawyer Blog in an article How to deal with NFA and Non NFA Firearms in a Will ...

From Politico:Rep. Chet Edwards, a Texas Democrat who remains a firm “no,” said he’s getting calls spurred by Organizing for America, the president’s unofficial outreach arm. He said he’s fine with constituents expressing their opinions — and even with the right of OFA to engage — but noted of the Obama organization, “It’s clear t...

From CleanupATF.org comes this interesting question. ATF has consistently taken the position that a shotgun that leaves the factory with a pistol grip and no buttstock, and is kept in that condition, is a pistol rather than a shotgun. I suppose this was in accord with their desire to construe statutes in ways that increased regulation: here, an 18...

Dave Hardy points out something about the NFA and shotguns over at CleanupATF.org that I think might be incorrect. Dave says: ATF has consistently taken the position that a shotgun that leaves the factory with a pistol grip and no buttstock, and is kept in that condition, is a pistol rather than a shotgun. Except I don’t think that’s th...

I just did something I don't normally do, I deleted a post. I could see where it could be construed as giving really bad advice, so I took it down. You fill out the census form as you see fit. Not being a lawyer, it is not wise for me to say what is and isn't constitutionally legal about the census....

Even though most media is anti-rights(gun), I also like to point out fair media on gun rights. Such as Fox41 from Louisville,KY. Who did a piece on BB guns not being toys, but guns. But furthermore, didn't blame the gun, but the parents, or kids. Heck, they even give the helpful reminder of three of the four rules of gun safety....

Let me get this straight. Obama wants an up-or-down vote, but Congress wants to pass it without directly voting on the Senate version of the bill.The Dems in the House want to combine the votes on the Senate bill and the reconciliation bills into one vote, then have the president sign the Senate bill and send the reconciliation bill to the Senate....

Okay, me asking why we are not flying our flag at military base for rescuer workers. is rhetorical, for I already know the why. It is yet another sign of the Obama Administration apologizing and showing weakness, via our military forces. This is a showing a lack of respect to the country,and those who fight for her at best, and despicable treachery...

I have little respect for the traditional printed media since they are mostly prostituted pamphlets with a severe allergy for the truth so it is unusual for me to sit down and waste time with a local newspaper.
