The Concealed Carry Improvement Act (which did nothing to improve concealed carry) was rushed into law by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul after the Supreme Court struck down the state’s “may issue” permitting scheme four years ago. The law has sparked numerous legal challenges to various aspects of the statute, from its ridiculous licensing mandates to the sweeping “gun-free zones” that it imposed.  One of those challenges has now reached SCOTUS’s doorstep. Christian v. James takes on New York’s prohibition of lawful carry in all public parks, which was upheld by the Second Circuit in another…

Building a home from the ground up is a dream for many service members and their families. If you need financial assistance, a VA loan for construction could be a good solution.

A petition to force a vote on the Major Richard Start Act reached 218 signatures on Wednesday, paving the way for a U.S. House vote on the bill. The Major Richard Star Act, introduced in the Senate and House by bipartisan lawmakers in March 2025, would allow certain veterans who suffered combat-related injuries that made them cut their military careers short to receive both military retirement pay and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation. The Act is also contained within pending legislation in Congress, the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, which includes dozens of provisions. The bill has…

Bouillon cubes are a dehydrated broth usually preserved and packaged in a small, block form. They are typically wrapped in foil and kept in a jar for storage. They’re sold in every grocery store and usually find themselves in most home pantries. Some flavors include chicken, beef and vegetable.

Last week, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon warned officials in San Jose, California that if they didn’t take steps to bring down the cost of a concealed carry permit, they could expect a lawsuit.  As anticipated, the city hasn’t done squat, and now the Dhillon has followed through with her promise by filing suit.At nearly $1,600 per license, the City’s application fee to carry a firearm is the highest in the nation.
