Just to toss in a couple of cents... The Michigan situation is very interesting and potentially useful. Expungement isn't really involved though. Lautenberg says that if a state revokes civil rights for a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence and subsequently restores those rights, that the...

In My Experience... I know this is an old thread, but it is a never ending question... I have a Series 70 Combat Commander that I have carried for 24 years. About 20 years ago I had the gun, including the thumb safety, hard-chromed. That makes it a bit trickier to tweak. After a hard 4...

This is an old thread, but an important subject. The Firearms Coalition is actively working to assemble the blocks necessarily to effect repeal of this onerous law. The SCOTUS decision on Heller might open the door to a judicial remedy, but tackling it in the legislative arena has merit too...

The Bigger Point I feel for you Conwict and hope all works out for you. Whether you keep having problems or not, I would recommend you contact and join Grass Roots North Carolina and help them in their efforts to fix NC laws. The bigger issue that your plight points up is NC's outrageous...

History Neal Knox was KICKED OFF the NRA Board because he publicly opposed the watering down of the McClure-Volkmer Act. NRA took out many of the key provisions of the act in an effort to get it passed and Neal spoke out against those compromises. For that he was (illegally) kicked off the...

Pro-carry in Virginia VCDL.org is your best bet for a Virginia organization web site. They did have some cards for sale, but I don't know if they still do. Again, I'll mention that we have very nice cards available on our site at: http://www.firearmscoalition.org/special/CCWCard/ and have...

We sell Merchant Education Cards We have a very nice full color, glossy card with good information on both sides that we sell for $10 per hundred. We also offer custom printed cards for other groups and clubs. And we've got a sweetheart deal with a friendly printer that lets us offer these at...

Activists should be aware of the fact that as the "Parker" case heads to appeal at the Supreme Court, it is no longer the "Parker" case. The pleading for certiorari will be titled "District of Columbia v. Heller" since Heller was the only plaintiff in the original case who was actually found to...

Powdered Butt Syndrome Rifleman, There's a thing called Powdered Butt Syndrome that says that once someone has powdered your butt, it's almost impossible to gain that person's full respect. You'll eventually get there, but there's no need to push it with your dad. I have to ask if you've...

The closer youare, the spensiver it gets... Hey Alpine, Alexandria is a nice little city as is Arlington, but the closer you are to DC, the more you'll pay per square foot. There are plenty of apartment and home guides available on-line for you to check out and be sure to look at travel...

Updates and current information I keep a pretty close eye on this kind of thing and keep my subscribers informed to developments - on Parker and other gun issues. I think I was the first "major" Alerts List to report the DC decision to appeal and the first to post a fairly thorough analysis of...

As an almost-native of Prescott... We moved to Prescott in about 1971 when I was in 5th grade. Our moving there was probably a major influence on Prescott becoming a gun mecca because when we moved there we brought Wolfe Publishing with us. Dad was Editor and Publisher of "Rifle" and...

You have an AKA on file. There is a legal paper trail on all of your name changed documents. Your DL might say Martin, but when NICS looks at it I'm sure it says "Martin, aka Marcin" and shows them any records relating to Marcin. Stichawas ten cavat o Poloku i o gorku? I'm sure my...

Policies vary a bit I worked for TSA for a couple of years. They have always been able to see if the gun was loaded. Official policy has always left the "show clear" policy up to the airlines, but in most places it has been discouraged because of concerns about other passengers seeing...

Some of you guys worry me You're elitists just like Rosie and Hillary. Allow CCW's on the plane - Yeah, but only specially trained CCW's - But what about terrorists getting CCW's? Oh, we'll have to do special, double-secret background checks on the specially trained CCW's. GET BACK TO...
