Check your Firearms or you could be Fined

Ok, so you want to fly, who doesn’t? Do you have a concealed carry permit? Most of you know where I’m going (and it’s NOT California!). If you're planning a trip to a regulated airport (commercial passenger service) you will have to remember that you MUST transport your unloaded firearm in Checked Baggage. If you forget, plenty of folks do, and pack your firearm in your carry-on bag, the TSA will perform their duty, discover your mistake, and promptly notify the on-site LEO. More times than not in this country you will be cited (charged and issued a field appearance ticket) and then the TSA will fine you in a subsequent notification. Most folks don’t know, but the fine (public knowledge) is $3,000.00 - $7,500.00 for your first offense, yes offense, but the money is not really the worst of it. You could lose your concealed carry license/permit if the local magistrates find that your actions were intentional. So, please pack that UN-LOADED firearm in a locked hard-sided case;

Federal District Court. Let’s break down these court cases: Tackling the 9 th Circuit case we see Teixeira v. County of Alameda. In this case a group of like-minded, gun supporting citizens, sought to open up a gun shop in Alameda County, California. All of these individuals qualified under the laws to open up the shop. However, left- leaning Alameda County listened to the fear-mongering residents and denied these would be gun shop owners – citing zoning ordinances, et

A Bit of Realism for Lefties: Some 2nd Amendment Common Sense

The 2 nd Amendment: ‘ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.’ So much ‘to do’ over a comma! What are you talking about Pete? I’m referring to the actual wording and grammatical structure of the 2 nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Some folks would have you believe the framers of the Amendment spoke a different language than we do today, and that sentence structure and thought processes were/are so disparate to our time and concerns that, well, we just don’t fully understand their meaning and having only delusions of adequacy. Let me throw my two cents in, I believe the founding fathers inspiration for the Amendments were based on fear, the fear of government, of a government exercising overarching power upon its citizens. Sound familiar? I believe that if you read the actual wording without bias it shouldn’t be difficult to extract (if you have to work that ha
