One of the many issues with gun-free zones is that they disarm people not just on a piece of property, but on the entire path from where they leave their gun to the door itself. Even if a school, for example, could guarantee safety inside the building and anywhere on the property, which they can’t, there’s literally no way they can guarantee it for people to and from the school. So it’s a terrible shame that a Florida principal was arrested for having a gun in his privately owned vehicle recently.The school board, however, seems…
Two former members of the U.S. Air Force have been sentenced to a combined 189 months in federal jail after they participated in a $2.4 million cyber fraud scheme. Chijioke Timothy Odimegwu, 25, and Harafat Mogaji, 26, both Airmen at the time of their offenses, were sentenced Sept. 25 to a combined 189 months in federal prison. They were legally found to have diverted more than $2.4 million via wire transfers from two victims into bank accounts controlled by their conspirators, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Iowa. “When cyber intrusion schemes target businesses…
It seems self-evident that the Constitution would apply in all U.S. states and territories, but according to the High Court of American Samoa, the Second Amendment is utterly meaningless in the territory. Two years ago, the Court concluded in a case called Wiesner v. Fainu’ulelei that recognition of the Second Amendment would be “impracticable and anomalous” given American Samoa’s history of gun restrictions and its status as an unincorporated territory. Michael R. Davis, the founder and executive director of the Article III Project, says there’s a way to rectify the High Court’s error: remove and replace every…
Selected Reserve GI Bill Payment Rates for institutional training and on-the-job training are updated every year. The monthly payment rates for the Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve change each October based on government calculations of higher education costs. Beneficiaries receive different amounts depending on what their “training time” is. For those taking undergraduate classes, their training time is determined as follows: 0-2 hours: 1/4 time 3-5 hours: less than 1/2 time 6-8 hours: 1/2 time 9-11 hours: 3/4 time 12 hours and above: full-time For graduate training, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will pay your benefits based on what…
Maryland’s juvenile justice system is already plagued with many of the same problems that exist in other states, including a lack of increased supervision and incarceration for repeat offenders. Now juvenile justice is taking another step backward in the state, with new “reforms” going into effect that could make it much harder to hold young offenders accountable for their crimes. The Youth Charging Reform Act, signed into law by Gov. Wes Moore back in May, takes effect today, and that means (among other things) that 16- and 17-year-olds charged with first degree assault and other…
Twenty-five years after HBO’s Band of Brothers introduced millions of viewers to the paratroopers of Easy Company, the National WWII Museum is giving fans a considerably more physical way to follow in their footsteps. Beginning Oct. 1, the New Orleans museum and the Crescent City Classic launched the “WWII Challenge: Easy Company,” a virtual fitness event that retraces portions of the unit’s World War II journey from training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, through England, Normandy, the Netherlands, Bastogne and the Bavarian Alps. Participants do not have to recreate the 101st Airborne Division’s marches across Europe. Instead, they can log miles…
There are things that I don’t think you should do, even if I’ll defend your right to do them. I don’t see this as a contradiction, either. To me, it’s simply a matter of there being a difference between “should” and “can.” When you start regulating what people can do, that’s a slippery slope that doesn’t stop easily. Saying people shouldn’t do something is different. That matters because a case of people doing what they can do, but maybe not what they should do, has people at the University of Florida freaking out.Editor’s note: This…

A couple of days ago, I wrote about a guy bringing a knife to a gunfight. Yes, it’s a cliché, but it’s also funny, so I’m going to mock such people because they deserve it. But what about something even dumber? Like, say, they think they’re a dwarf from Dungeons & Dragons and arm themselves accordingly? That’s what happened with one Florida Man.No, seriously, it sure looks like he thought he was a fantasy race or something, because his weapon selection left a lot to be desired.On Monday night, deputies responded to a property along Lake…
The U.S. military said it hit three Iranian oil tankers, after accusing Iran of targeting its warships. The past week saw the first exchange of fire after a month of relative calm. Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to Israel has again condemned settler violence in the occupied West Bank. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels accused Yemen’s government of killing three people in attacks. Israeli strikes killed three people in southern Lebanon. Here’s a look at the news in the Middle East. Full coverage can be found here. US forces hit Iranian oil tankers The U.S. military said in a statement said that the…
Isaac Richey is a victim of New York’s SAFE Act and his rights were taken away. Richey filed for a summary judgment in his years-long battle, hoping to gain relief. In 2019 Richey was stationed in New York while in the military. As previously reported, Richey voluntarily sought mental health help while he was having a rough time in his life. That admission led to Richey being treated as if he were involuntarily committed. Portions of New York’s SAFE Act include provisions where medical professionals have the power to permanently disqualify people from firearm ownership.…

While the Bruen decision did leave the door open for some gun control laws, it’s one thing about the decision that I don’t like. I can live with it, because the door is only barely open, but it’s still not the ideal decision the Supreme Court could have made. I’ve said before that what I’d like to see is something akin to, “What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ told you this crap was OK?” But while Bruen may have been less than perfect, it was still pretty good overall.Unfortunately, anti-gunners don’t care, and as…
