In response to the hostility to firearms, especially by Democrats now making confiscation one of their platform items, there are a number of counties I've heard of that have established (or are establishing themselves) as 2A sanctuary counties. The ones I've heard about so far are located in New...

Well, not really, but at least reciprocity will be restored for all the states that that ignorant AG tried to prevent. Bottom line is, Gov McAuliffe is restoring the reciprocity with all 26 states affected. It goes deeper. The movement in the state legislature had come to the point where it was...

Virginia's AG just stripped reciprocity with 25 states, to include my own state of North Carolina. Just FYI, shall issue states for non-residents that will still have reciprocity with Virginia are only two states, Utah and Texas. If I were to get an additional CCW so I could conceal carry in...

As a resident of North Carolina, I frequently cross into Virginia, and have for many years been able to do so as a conceal carry permittee. Same goes for 37 other states. But now, gun banners want to make it illegal for me to conceal carry there. Instead, I will have to open carry. Not only does...

A North Carolina TV station late last year put up a map of conceal carry residences. It got people mad enough that the law was changed, and such apps, etc are now illegal here. If they're including this state in that stupid app, they'd best reconsider, because it's now jail time for such! Link...

I'd recommend you check out blade-ops (they have a really good selection, and they also ship free). My own need for a knife is multiple, I'm a kayaker that needs a folding knife that is immediately accessible for both emergency situations (don't ever want to get tangled in ropes/strainers) and...

So, Illinois is FINALLY getting conceal carry? Couldn't be happier about that .. it's about time. Only thing that seems a little infantile is that NC will now accept those new IL CCW permits, but Illinois will still not accept my NC CCW permit. So as a NC resident, Illinois still denies MY right...

Haven't checked in for a while, and couldn't believe my eyes, when I hit the NC map to see where my CCW reciprocity may have made some gains, and now I see SC no longer respects NC CCW permits? Did I see that right? WTF? I never thought I'd see the day when a God Fearing, gun-respecting state...

I'm a NC resident with a CCW that is, according to the reciprocity maps on this site, recognized in 37 states. With all the gun grabbing going on in places like Colorado, which is shown to reognize my permit, am I still safe to travel to those states, or are we now essentially dealing with third...

Now that DHS is trying to buy up all the ammunition supplies to make it scarce, the impact is going to be on training. We all are going to have ammunition, but we are going to face shortages, and most of our shooting is not done in defensive situations, but at the range. The real impact is going...

Does anyone know what the dividing lines are to allow conceal carry while kayaking on the Potomac? I have a NC CCW, which is honored in Virginia, but DC is Marxist territory. Am I OK on the water in this case, as long as I don't make landfall on their commie country? Also, who owns the bridges...

In a 6-4 decision, the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals overruled AG Madigan and the Dem supermajority legislature, ordering them to rewrite their conceal carry laws to conform with the Second Amendment. Illinois is losing this battle, slowly albeit surely. Link Removed

I've been a .357 Magnum guy for quite a while, but have been aware also that I may need to carry the .44 Magnum on my trips into the wild. On a recent trip to Texas, I rented both the S&W 629, and the Ruger Redhawk, and I'm certain I couldn't go wrong with either, I thoroughly enjoyed firing...

A serial overpass robber armed with a shotgun, and disabling vehicles before racing down the embankment to rob them, was finally stopped by a couple who had the hood of their vehicle blasted, disabling their car as they drove under his selected ambush point. The man went after the robber, and...

Just found the following updated information on reciprocity for the new Wisconsin CCW law. Bottom line, it will take effect 1 Nov 2011, and will include full reciprocity initially with 25 other states (including my home state of North Carolina!). See the article for the full listing and details...
