National Park Service Gun Ban Expanding |
 |
ACTION: Urge your two senators to support S. 2619 -- a bill introduced by Sen. Tom Coburn -- to repeal the gun ban on National Park Service lands. Also, please urge them to stand with Sen. Coburn against the strong-arm tactics of Majority Leader Reid, who is trying to silence Coburn and thwart his pro-gun agenda.
You can skip to the bottom and use the pre-written letter below to contact your two senators right away. Or, you can first read the following alert to better understand the battle Sen. Coburn is embroiled in and how Sen. Reid is trying to use his position as Majority Leader to trample Coburn (and the Second Amendment).

Open Carry in Hastings, MI |
|
In response to the Police Chief of Hastings, Chief Sarver, law-abiding citizens will be walking down Main Street in Hastings open carrying. Chief Sarver in response to a letter to the editor responded by saying it was brandishing, a misdemeanor. He failed to say that the Michigan Attorney General’s office wrote him telling him that open carry is not against the law. We are asking anyone who is interested in furthering their Second Amendment rights to join us on Thursday, July 24th at 4 PM. We will be meeting at Richie's Coffee Shop (146 W. State Street, Hastings, MI 49058).
An attorney that supports your right to keep and bear arms will be joining us.
It is important to note that this is a peaceful demonstration of our constitutional rights and everyone must be on their best behavior. All well mannered, law-abiding citizens are welcome to join us. Please RSVP if you can. Please do not dress like a paramilitary organization. Wear ordinary clothing that fits in well with the general public.

Concealed handgun licenses surge among young Texans |
|
Since the beginning of the year, Texas has seen a surge in citizens seeking concealed handgun licenses, with an increase in first-time applicants younger than 26.
The Texas Department of Public Safety recorded a 24 percent increase in applications from citizens in their early 20s during the first five months of 2008, compared with the same period in 2007. Five percent of the 300,000 active license holders are younger than 26, according to the department.
Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, a non-partisan organization with 31,000 members nationwide, including one chapter at UT and 24 chapters in Texas, contends that the gun ban on university campuses only serves to disarm the law-abiding students who might be able to stop tragedies like the Virginia Tech shooting.
Texas Republican Rep. Joe Driver, of Garland, plans to file a bill in the upcoming legislative session that calls for lifting the gun ban on college campuses in Texas.
