Second Amendment still part of the Constitution...

Supreme Court reverses and remands McDonald v. Chicago. In 5-4 decision says the 14th Amendment does incorporate the Second Amendment right recognized in Heller to keep and bear arms in self-defense. Accordingly, the Second Amendment applies to state and local government. We'll post a link to the decision later today.

Concealed Carry Instructor Class. Kentucky. July 10-11, 2010

Do you want to be a concealed carry instructor in Kentucky? You can give classes so that people can earn their CCDW license in KY and you can make money.

I will be giving a 2 day concealed carry instructor class on July 10 & 11 in Oldham County, Kentucky. You will receive all the training you need to obtain your concealed carry permit and instructor certification.

Cost is 150 dollars. You will need a firearm/pistol (almost any modern one acceptable). Class is open to anyone interested, but it is suggested that you be somewhat familiar with firearms and instruction to consider being an instructor.

Call with any questions and to reserve your spot in the class. Deadline to confirm attendance is July 7.

Tennessee House rebukes governor and expands CCDW rights

Tennessee has long had some of the most contradictory laws relating to concealed carry.

Now the House of Representatives there has over-ridden the governor's veto of a bill that will allow CCDW permit holders to carry in restaurants where alcohol is served.

This is a welcome change and reflects the reality that armed citizens make good choices in their lifestyle and their behavior.
