By Steve McGough / February 1, 2008 /

For those who may be interested, there has been some action on the pistol permit front in the state of Connecticut. I won’t say that argument has been heated, but let’s say that some parties on both sides seem a bit “head-strong” in their opinions. I am not directly or indirectly involved with any of…

By Steve McGough / June 8, 2014 /

This is terrible. As of 6 p.m. tonight, NBC in Chicago is reporting there have been 30 people shot over the weekend in the windy city. I’m not one to ask “how are those strict Chicago gun laws working for you” for the simple fact it is easy to move firearms from place to place.…

The ongoing national discussion about gun control

By Steve McGough / December 31, 2012 /

I find it ironic President Obama and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) have suggested a national discussion on gun control since we’ve been having one since before I was born.

Chicago Mayor blames Fort Hood Masacre on guns

By Jim Vicevich / November 10, 2009 /

Does the Mayor honestly believe that a civilian ban on guns would have stopped this crazy Jihadist. Does the Mayor honestly think that a ban on possession would stop AQ from instructing and recruiting extremists to their cause in this country? It hasn’t stopped the drug lords from tearing up his city. Before you watch the…

… are at the gun store. Talk of a possible ban on assault weapons has dealers and buyers scrambling. A few days after Attorney General Eric Holder mentioned that the Obama administration would like to make some gun-related changes, including reinstituting a ban on the sale of certain types of assault weapons, local gun dealers…

By Steve McGough / April 3, 2008 /

The state of Michigan recently celebrated an anniversary. Six years ago state legislature passed, and the governor signed, a new law that effectively made Michigan a shall-issue state when it comes to right-to-carry.
