By John Crump AmmoLand The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Department has lost over 185 firearms, including 76 duty weapons, according to the Philadelphia Controller’s Office.

By rainierblog Rainier Arms Sig Sauer has given the welcome news that the so-called “P320 California”, i.e. a California-compliant SIG P320 pistol, is now available in the 31st state. The State of California is well-known for its anti-gun laws, ceaseless anti-gun legislation attempts, and overall firearm restrictions; this is despite the wishes of hundreds of thousands of Californians who’d prefer it otherwise. The most obvious example of this is the so-called California Handgun Roster. Simply put, the Roster is a relatively short list of handguns allowed to be transferred into the state via FFL. CA P320 Though the California Handgun Roster is ludicrous, it’s…
The report says armed civilians have stopped attacks at a rate far higher than figures tallied by the FBI. by Law Officer Law Officer A new study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) shows that legally armed citizens are very effective in stopping homicidal active shooters.

By Tom Knighton Bearing Arms I’ve been pretty critical of how Hunter Biden has been handled with regard to allegations he lied on a Form 4473, a felony. After all, people get charged for this all the time. Thousands of people have been sent to prison for just this, yet Hunter was looking at walking. It’s not right. The rules can and should apply to everyone. That’s even true if they’re stupid rules. The thing is, people who do face punishment for breaking the rules are sometimes the very people who get the stupid rules overturned as unconstitutional. Could the younger…
