The Best Policy?

The Truth About The USCCA Self-Defense Liability Policy (2023) [Watch]

Interesting breakdown, although I do note this guy has his own financial interest in doing this.

I’d be interested in seeing USCCA and some of the gun video personalities endorsing/sponsored by the company do their own videos that address the points raised.

UPDATE

WarOnGuns Correspondent Ron M emails:

Here’s a USCCA response to that year old YouTube that you posted.

Yes, I have USCCA.

I read the contract.

I sent the contract to my legal provider for review (Legal Shield [formerly PrePaid Legal] which is also a monthly membership service).

Based on that discussion, I asked pertinent questions of USCCA.

I still have my membership with USCCA.

An Attack on One is an Attack on All

Gun Group’s Financial Dealings With Founder Spark State Investigation [More]

And now, the rest of the story… and I include this link because I want you to read it.

This “investigation” is a pretty naked lawfare/smear attempt to go ad hominem on someone at the forefront of effective Second Amendment legal defense cases to try and derail and harm them. It’s also meant to cause divisions and suspicions within the “gun community” over finances and relationships with other Gottlieb holdings for marketing, rent, and other services, which have never been a secret. SAF/CCRKBA tax filings are available to anyone on Guidestar, and before calling shenanigans, document what those would cost the SAF/CCRKBA nonprofits if they were provided by someone else.

For an impartial third-party opinion, Charity Navigator doesn’t have a dog in this fight. Let’s see what they have to say:

“Good – This charity’s score is 77%, earning it a Three-Star rating. If this organization aligns with your passions and values, you can give with confidence.”

I wonder if it will come out if anyone from out of state, including groups, politicians, and federal agencies, is a silent partner in this.

This isn’t just a knee-jerk reaction on my part. I’ve had some differences with Alan over the years, including some ongoing ones, and am on good terms with people who admire him and with people who can’t stand him, but what’s happening to him here is pure filth by evil interests that want you and me disarmed.

UPDATE

I hope my speculation on silent partners is followed up on because this revelation shows the relationships are baked in.

A Good First Step

Delaware County judge blocks Columbus gun ordinance enforcement [More]

But there are still miles to go, this is not the only road to travel, and municipal governments have virtually unlimited tax plunder to throw at this, while rights defenders need to scrape for nickels.

If you’re an Ohio gun owner, are you helping with the load, either financially or through activism?

Life Imitates Art

By not ruling on it the judge is putting us in limbo, making us choose between going to synagogue and leaving our pistols at home, or carrying a pistol but not going to pray. The law bans carrying a firearms in houses of worship and religious observation. This law is outrageous, and it makes us pick between engaging in religious observation or exercising our second amendment right. [More]

Making Jews choose between one or the other. Where have we seen that before?

The plea for help comes from these guys. And they ask to make checks payable to these guys.

I confess to not being familiar with these folks. In my copious free time, I’ll see what I can find out. In the meantime, if you have relevant knowledge, feel free to educate the rest of us in “Comments.”

The First of Many

The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners group is suing over two new laws – one that requires a minimum three-day waiting period before a firearm can be purchased and raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21 years old. [More]

Everybody kinda figured…

If I learn about any more today I’ll update this post.

Voting with Their Wallets

“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Krahl told the Tribune on Saturday. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we’ll be going nonstop.” [More]

When voting with your ballots doesn’t work, there’s always Plan B.

And if the tyrants try to exploit that, Plan C.

Who Will Help Plant the Seed?

These cases have national implications. As you know, similar battles are being fought all over the country with varying results. But now, faced with not only our Federal lawsuits but two other lawsuits whose only goal is harassment, we are being crushed financially. [More]

That’s the plan.

Who will help eat the bread?

Judge Contrarian

In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]

This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”

“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…

Who Will Judge the Judge?

IL Supreme Court justice that’s under fire was sued for legal malpractice (and lost the case) [More]

Nice to know our rights are being decided by the very best… Is there anything cleaner than Illinois politics?

If you don’t have Mom-At-Arms bookmarked, you’re missing out on routine unique “finds” that the ‘real reporters” will never tell you about.

Sure as Shooting!

Charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western movie “Rust” after “new facts” surfaced in recent days, officials said Thursday. [More]

Thank goodness! Now he can get back to lecturing the rest of us on “commonsense gun safety laws”!

In the absence of evidence showing deliberate misbehavior on the part of the armorer, would it be out of line to wonder how much those “new facts” cost?

Called into Question

On certain firearms being banned over others, McGlynn gave Wells several scenarios. One he gave was of a wife home alone with four intruders… On certain firearms features, like collapsible stocks being banned, McGlynn gave another scenario… [More]

I don’t see how McGlynn can rule against the plaintiffs without showing himself to be cognitively dissonant to the point of being bipolar.

As for Wells, he’s just a damn Judas to his countrymen. All he can spout back are BS platitudes.

The Vichycon Difference!

A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]

Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.

The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.

An Equal and Opposite Reaction

Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Saturday he filed a counter lawsuit against Gaige Grosskreutz for assault and emotional distress, stemming from their interaction when Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. [More]

He made the leftist punk his B!tch once. No reason he shouldn’t be able to do it again…

‘No, No!’ Said the Queen. ‘Sentence First — Verdict Afterwards.’ 

But what are due process protections when it comes to the government’s intentional deprivation of a constitutionally protected right, or even a constitutionally protected “property” right, through ex parte proceedings? [More]

Well, we could go with the stare decisis version and defer to past acts of judicial tyranny, or we could go with a historical understanding to be guided by Amendments IV, V, and VI…

That treacherous wretch Bill Lee has established his legacy.

And Now for Something Completely Different

I’ll be leaving this afternoon for the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis. (Those who caution me not to make public announcements of absences, don’t worry. Elder feral son Uday will be coming over and I’m neither chaining him up nor feeding him.) If you’re going I hope to meet you, assuming you don’t want to punch me out. I’ll be bringing a poll with me that I’ll be doing an article about that should take less than a minute to answer, so I hope I can count on your cooperation.

I’ve got a ton of stuff to do today to get ready, including finishing up an article and maybe drafting a new one if I can get to it. The dandelions here are in full bloom so I also need to take a couple of hours for yard work before the neighbors run me out.

As such, news tips emailed to me that I decide to present here are all going to be linked in this post with no commentary and a mass credit at the bottom. With that in mind, please don’t submit any more from this point on until Monday, and understand that I will not be moderating comments received after I leave until I return.

The following list will be added to as long as I can get to it:

Pot Luck

Another Federal Judge Rejects the DOJ’s Argument That Cannabis Consumers Have No Second Amendment Rights [More]

And then there’s action on the restraining order front…

I’ll bet a lot of “prohibited person” exclusions could be overturned with the right case, starting with the “one year” nonsense that has no bearing on proven proclivities for violence.

We’re the Only Ones Biting Enough

Minnesota argues it is not liable for police dog attack – Sovereign immunity in the case of a car dealership employee bitten by a K-9 may hinge on the question of whether the state can be “the owner” of a dog under Minnesota’s dog-bite statute. [More]

You can tell a lot about character from people who won’t clean up after their dogs.
