Last week on Bearing Arms’ Cam & Company I talked with firearms instructor Jackie Emslie about the 15th annual training event for women hosted by Legally Armed In Detroit, and I’m pleased to report that the event was a huge success.  Founded by longtime Second Amendment advocate Rick Ector, the event has grown from about 100 women in its first year to more than 2,000 participants, most of whom have had little to no formal experience with firearms. The event, held at Recoil Firearms in Taylor, drew lines wrapped around the building as women of all experience…

While much of the 2A world has been focused on New Jersey’s assault weapon ban taking a major legal hit, Washington Gun Law President William Kirk says two more bans in the same federal appeals court may not be far behind. In a new video, Kirk explains why he believes assault weapon bans in Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands are now on shaky legal ground following the Third Circuit’s recent decision in Cheeseman v. Platkin (also referred to as ANJRPC v. Platkin). According to Kirk, the spotlight should especially be on the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the U.S. Department…

Enlisting in the military is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your life, and the best choice depends on your personal career goals. Are you looking for a specific job? Do you want a physical challenge? What lifestyle do you want to live? Do you want to travel? Do you want to get your college degree? The answer to these questions may help you begin the process of choosing which branch of the military to join. Before you begin reading, I will tell you that I am a retired U.S. Air Force Major, who began military life…

National reciprocity, at a minimum, needs to happen. People with a driver’s license from Florida can drive in all 50 states and every US territory without a problem, even though driving is considered a privilege, not a right. Meanwhile, California can ignore a permit from Georgia without repercussions. It’s stupid. It’s always been stupid.And honestly, the arguments made against national reciprocity have always been remarkably stupid.And John Lott has already debunked many of them.As Lott explained, last year, when House Judiciary Committee passed national reciprocity along party lines, Democrats also opposed legislation that would have allowed…

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Police in Gastonia, North Carolina, say a man was shot last week while allegedly trying to kick his way into a disabled 75-year-old homeowner’s house. Instead of admitting what happened, investigators say he and his girlfriend drove to a nearby gas station and claimed he’d been wounded in a random drive-by shooting. According to reports from WCNC and WBTV, that story unraveled quickly. The homeowner, Donald Bolynn, told reporters he’d already been targeted once before. So when he heard someone trying to force their way into his Ware Avenue home again, he wasn’t…

Whether you’re being deployed or will be at home for some time, maintaining your car is important. One of the most important aspects of car maintenance goes beyond changing its oil or rotating the tires; It also includes recognizing signs of trouble early. This means paying attention to unusual noises, dashboard warning lights, and the way your car drives. If you ignore these issues, they won’t go away and will likely get worse, especially if your car often sits in a garage or on base while you’re gone. Small leaks can turn into big ones over time and worn parts…
