United States Concealed Carry Association

USCCA - -(AmmoLand.com)- I tell ya, the last few days have been absolutely unbelievable for Armed American Radio. In the last 4 days, we have added new cities, Troy Alabama, Aberdeen Washington, Little Rock Arkansas, a commitment from Huntsville Alabama as soon as the station goes live on the air, and two other cities that I simply can not mention just yet but it’s ALL good! We also have interest in Detroit and the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St Paul Minnesota. And guess what? AAR goes to 3 full hours this Sunday, November 22nd! You asked for it and you got it!

In addition to the continued growth of the broadcast, I had the privilege of being joined today in the AAR studio in Atlanta for a live, one on one interview with one of the giants of conservative talk radio, FOX news contributor and fellow Salem Radio Network nationally syndicated host, Mike Gallagher. Mike is in Atlanta through Saturday fighting “Obamacare” being shoved down our throats by the Socialist in Chief and was kind enough to join me for a segment that will air on the 29th. It was great to talk with him and you will definitely want to hear what he has to say about Armed American Radio!

You will also notice a great change to the Armed American Radio website. We have added some great new HD video content to the home page. The videos will give you information on past shows, upcoming guests and some plain old great information as it develops in real time. This new media rich content is just the beginning and I can promise you it will only get better and better with time. Make sure to head over to www.armedamericanradio.org to check out the new content and to stay 100% up to the minute with one of the hottest and fastest growing radio shows in America!

Coming up this week, The Master himself, Massad Ayoob makes another guest appearance to discuss anything I can toss his way for the full hour that I have his attention. In addition, David Burnette, The Midwest Regional Director of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus will be with me for the entire second hour to discuss this very hot button topic as well as a couple of other things he has up his sleeve. Great stuff.

Also, The Mad Ogre, George Hill will be with me for the entire show to chime in on the discussion as only he can and since I had the opportunity to meet with George a couple of weeks ago in Utah, George and I will be talking about one of the places we visited during my trip. During the third hour, George and I will be discussing the previous two hours and giving our thoughts, taking calls and reading listener comments live.

This is an amazing time for Armed American Radio and I can assure you all that you will want to be a part of this broadcast that will soon be bigger than Obama’s ego. Jump in while the water is warm and check out www.armedamericanradio.org to find out where to listen.

Versus Country

Philadelphia, PA --(AmmoLand.com)- Wow, it is November already! Thanksgiving is next week, and deer seasons are running strong in almost every state.

The whitetail rut is on fire, so get out there now. I have heard – and I have written about it – that this may be the best year ever to tag a trophy buck.

There are more trophy bucks to be had this year, which could ultimately rewrite more state whitetail records.

I know I have been putting more time in this year and will continue to do so until I get the big buck I have been watching all season long. You should be too.

If you can not get out there now, play our Bag a Monster Buck game.

Not a deer hunter? No problem. Upland birds, waterfowl and other big game are in season or will be soon. The only hunters who could complain are those of us who only chase spring turkeys.

The rest of us have a cornucopia of opportunities available right now, and VersusCountry.com has tips from the best experts on television waiting for you.

Don’t worry anglers we have not forgotten about you. Versus Country is still airing great fishing programs fishing programs along with our outstanding lineup of hunting shows.

OnYourOwnAdventures

BOZEMAN, MONTANA --(AmmoLand.com)- On Your Own Adventures, a highly unique series, produced by Warm Springs Productions, featuring hunting adventures and tips for the non-guided, public land hunter today announced that Federal Premium Ammunition has signed on as a title sponsor of the show.

“After an extremely successful first year of production, we’re thrilled to have Federal on board as our title sponsor for year two,” said Randy Newberg, host and founder of On Your Own Adventures. “Federal is a leader in the hunting industry and their product is recognized throughout the self-guided hunting community. We look forward to working with them on another successful On Your Own Adventures season.”

Federal Premium Ammunition is based in Anoka, Minnesota where they employ nearly 1,000 workers. The company manufactures a complete line of shotshell, Centerfire and rimfire ammunition as well as other components.

“Federal Premium Ammunition is pleased to be the title sponsor of the television show, On Your Own Adventures,” said Mark DeYoung, President of ATK Armament Systems/Federal Premium Ammunition. “At Federal we endorse all legal forms of hunting, but have a special interest in supporting the self-guided hunter. It is our belief that the future of hunting depends on increasing public land hunting activities and opportunities. Randy Newberg’s show encourages hunters to hunt more often and at the same time encourages new hunters to go afield for the first time. This is exactly what our industry needs. The show is unique because all hunts are 100% “do-it-yourself” adventures conducted on publicly accessible lands, the way most hunting is still done in the United States. We applaud Randy and the On Your Own Adventures staff for delivering a show highlighting the American hunting heritage – facing challenges and reaping rewards by embarking on our own adventures.”

Since the series debuted on the Outdoor Channel, the On Your Own Adventures website has been flooded with thousands of online comments from hunters across America expressing their appreciation of the show’s concept. Additionally, the On Your Own Adventures website has received more than 28,000 visits.

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

MISSOULA, Mont.—-(AmmoLand.com)- Outdoor Life has named two founders of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to a list of 25 people who’ve had the greatest positive impact on hunting, fishing and conservation.

RMEF icons Bob Munson and Charlie Decker are part of the magazine’s third annual “OL 25” list honoring leaders, innovators, conservationists and unsung heroes.

Photos and bios appear in the December/January 2010 edition of Outdoor Life.

Online voting for fan favorites lasts through late December at www.outdoorlife.com.

Outdoor Life Editor-in-Chief Todd Smith said, “When we step into the woods or wade into a clear mountain stream, we rarely stop to think about the many people who have made enjoying that experience possible. Yet there are thousands who devote their time, talents and energies to building this way of life we call hunting and fishing. Most are just ordinary sportsmen who’ve done extraordinary things—and Bob Munson and Charlie Decker are perfect examples.”

In 1984, Munson and Decker led a charge to launch a conservation organization focused on habitat for elk and other wildlife. Now 25 years later, RMEF is one of the nation’s most effective wildlife outfits, having conserved or enhanced more than 5.6 million acres and helped restore elk herds to historic range across the country.

RMEF has over 150,000 members in 500 chapters nationwide and a volunteer force that donates countless hours each year to fundraising and on-the-ground conservation efforts.

“We owe it all to Charlie and Bob,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. “They started this movement, took personal risks and made sacrifices to see it through tough times, and continue to serve on our board.

They are the Elk Foundation’s heart and soul.”

Munson works in sales for MunsonWorks, a Lynnwood, Wash., firm specializing in inclined elevators. Decker owns and operates Decker Logging of Libby, Mont.

About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:
Snowy peaks, dark timber basins and grassy meadows. RMEF is leading an elk country initiative that has conserved or enhanced habitat on over 5.6 million acres—a land area equivalent to a swath three miles wide and stretching along the entire Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico. RMEF also works to open, secure and improve public access for hunting, fishing and other recreation. Get involved at www.rmef.org or 800-CALL ELK.

Message from Shooting USA’s Jim Scoutten

Xtreme Shooter Patrick Flanigan

Shooting USA Impossible Shots

Franklin, TN --(AmmoLand.com)- Tier One Media, LLC has announced Shotgun Exhibition Shooter Patrick Flanigan is joining the Shooting USA Impossible Shots Television Series in 2010.

“Signing Patrick as the newest member of the Impossible Shots Exhibition Team is the perfect move to support the success of our top rated show,” said Jim Scoutten, Executive Producer of the Shooting USA Series. “Patrick brings his youth, enthusiasm and his world records to delight the audience. We know we’ve got entire families tuning in weekly,” Scoutten said. “So adding a young shotgun performer will continue to entertain the younger members of the audience.”

Patrick Flanigan said: “Joining the Impossible Shots series will help me connect with the next generation to educate and encourage their shooting and hunting involvement. It is my dream to someday see any or all of the shooting sports recognized as a professional sport on the same level as baseball or football. My shooting campaign is promoting the shooting sports as a professional sport, as I am living proof you can make a career out of your shooting passions.”

Scoutten said he’s been watching Patrick develop his exhibition career over the past few years.

“He’s not only grown to be a great entertainer in his personal appearances, he’s also documented six world records in exhibition shooting. If we just show you his records, we’ll have an extraordinary series of shows. We couldn’t be more pleased that he’s joining the team.”

Scoutten says, Exhibition Shooters are challenged by the Impossible Shots series to keep thinking up new shots to amaze the audience. We’ve seen a lot of shooters over the years burn-out, running out of ideas and skill.

“Patrick Flanigan represents the new generation with new ideas, new records, and the extraordinary shooting skills to carry the tradition well into the future,” Scoutten said.

Patrick Flanigan joins Exhibition Shooters Bob Munden, Byron Ferguson, Jerry Miculek, Gil “Cisko” Guerra, and George Sutton as a contributor to the Shooting USA TV series hosted by Brian Speciale.

National Rifle Association

FAIRFAX, VA --(AmmoLand.com)– The National Rifle Association and MetaMedia Training International have won a CINE Golden Eagle Award for the Personal Protection Outside The Home DVD in the Business- Safety, Training, and Employee Development category.

The training-oriented DVD is based on NRA’s Basic Personal Protection Outside The Home Course, developed by NRA’s Education & Training Division and taught to the public by NRA Certified Instructors.

“We focus on educating the public about responsible handling and ownership of firearms. Our nationally-recognized firearms training programs, coupled with MetaMedia’s skill and experience in producing high-quality training videos, make the Personal Protection Outside the Home DVD one of the best instructional firearms films available to the public,” said Bill Poole, Director of NRA’s Education & Training Division.

NRA’s Personal Protection Outside The Home DVD

Produced for the NRA by MetaMedia, Personal Protection Outside The Home focuses on methods of concealed carry, and covers the basics of firearm safety, as well as topics including range instruction, self-defense, and multiple-threat response. The film tells the stories of two characters that choose to carry a concealed firearm, detailing their decision to carry, training, and situations in which they must use their firearm to protect themselves.

The CINE Golden Eagle Film and Video Competition is held each spring and fall. The selection of winners involves hundreds of media and content specialists who judge entries in several moving-image genres. Over the years, the judging procedure has evolved into an efficient multi-stage jury process to determine which productions are deserving of the coveted CINE Golden Eagle Award. Each year, hundreds of jurors judge nearly 1,000 entries in 32 categories. The award acknowledges high quality production in a variety of content categories for professional, independent, and student filmmakers.

“This statue represents the fourth CINE award given to MetaMedia in the last five years,” said MetaMedia Vice President Chris Held, who also served as Project Manager for the DVD. “It’s certainly a long-running point of pride for both our staff and clients like the NRA.”

Pursuit Channel

LUVERNE, AL --(AmmoLand.com)- Rusty Faulk, PURSUIT Channel CEO explains:

“There’s been some confusion in our industry this week about the health of the PURSUIT Channel due to the recent filing of a voluntary petition for relief from creditors (bankruptcy) by Pursuit Channel, LLC, the predecessor entity to Pursuit Media TV, LLC d/b/a PURSUIT Channel.

Effective March 2009, the assets of Pursuit Channel, LLC, including the ‘PURSUIT Channel’ as it is known in the outdoor industry, were purchased by Pursuit Media TV, LLC who has owned and operating the PURSUIT Channel since that date.

Since March 2009, the PURSUIT Channel has been rolling strong and continues to grow. We are ahead of schedule for the January launch of our upcoming ‘new look’ which includes branded nightly destination TV blocks found only on Pursuit. Our lineup for 2010 is the most powerful in all of outdoor media. Our business plan that puts producers first and honors the traditional values of the outdoor consumer is proving not only to be the right thing to do, but right on target as well.

Please don’t be confused. The PURSUIT Channel has not filed bankruptcy and will continue to meet all of your outdoor viewing needs and looks forward to the exciting lineup for 2010.”

About:
Pursuit Channel is the only outdoor network delivered in satellite provider DIRECTV’s BASIC package, channels received by every subscriber regardless of their level of service.

Brownells Expands Firearms Product Listings

Frank B - Brownells.com

Montezuma, Iowa --(AmmoLand.com)- We have just added a super new “filing & saving” system to the web site. It’s called the “Saved Cart“, and its whole purpose is to make running your shop a whole lot easier for you.

What this neat program does is allows you save orders electronically in the absolutely best and most perfect filing system for you because you set it up to fit the way you look at your world.

You quite literally can now save your shopping cart to any folder you want to and can put any name on that cart you want to.

Brownells Saved Cart is Back

This makes the possibilities limitless!

For instance, if you’re working on a 1911 for a customer named Bill Jones, you can establish a folder named “1911 Projects”. Within this folder create a saved cart for “Bill Jones”. As Bill’s project continues to grow you just add them to “Bill Jones” saved cart until you are ready to place the order. It makes project management and tracking very easy.

Or, if Bill Jones is a customer who has a lot of guns you make an entire folder for Bill Jones. Then you’d label this particular project, “.45 1911″ and so on as additional items are purchased for Bill Jones’s. If his next project is mounting a scope, you can put the items you bought for that project into the Bill Jones folder, but label this cart “Scope mount on Rem. 700, .243 cal”. Thus keeping all of Bill Jones projects together. Another really great feature of this system is that you can write yourself notes on the project you’re working on and save them for future reference. A fantastic way to keep track of your various jobs and projects.

Because of the complete flexibility of the new system, you can literally set it up any way you like. By the kind of project (rebarrel .45); by the name of the customer (Bill Jones); by the day date, or month date (October 2009); by the items you’ve ordered (Leupold Rings/Bases); etc., etc., etc. It doesn’t matter if you’re left brained or right brained, since you’re doing the labeling and you’ve put the carts into the folders, they are going to be where you think they should be. You just don’t have to conform to any body else’s ideas on filing!

What’s more, for those of you who had “Save(d) Carts” in Brownells’ old website before the upgrade in June to this new one, we have brought all those back in so you can access them and decide how you want to file them.

Check out our tutorial at brownells.com/help for a little more information on how it works.

As I sit here writing this, my mind goes into grid-lock thinking of all the possible ways I could set it up for me so I could find things I want to save. I had lots of fun testing it on the “Beta” site with our Web Master trying to make it crash or spin out of control. The old “Save Cart” was mighty popular, and we’ve heard from lots of you about getting it back. Well it is back…but on steroids. Gonna be a really huge winner for you. Find it and give it a try. I guarantee you’re going to love it!!

Ruger Firearms Announces New Streamlined Product-Focused Website

Outdoors Magazine Adds Cutting-Edge Content

Outdoors Magazine

Colchester, VT --(AmmoLand.com)- Outdoors Magazine, the East’s premiere hunting and fishing publication, is proud to be announcing the addition of several fresh, new columns to its already packed line-up.

“The key to any good publication is keeping it fresh, especially in the outdoors industry. In the past few months we have had the chance to add a couple of outstanding columns and we would be remiss not to take advantage of that,” said Kyle Scanlon, editor of Outdoors Magazine.

Included among the new columns are:

Beyond The Field by Jeff W. Zimba: “Beyond The Field” will focus on small arms, tactical strategies, and the world of highly specialized firearms. “Anybody who follows the world of small arms and cutting edge weapons technology knows who Jeff Zimba is,” said Scanlon. “His column will be an outstanding addition to Outdoors and will blend the world of tactical weaponry and the shooting sportsmen. Actually, to illustrate how highly regarded he is, when one of our sales guys mentioned to a representative from Smith and Wesson that Zimba joined our team, they couldn’t wait to advertise with us. That says a lot when you consider how tight ad budgets are these days.”

Answering The Call by Dylan Ainsworth: The world of calling extends far beyond turkey hunting and there isn’t a better person out there to examine it than Dylan Ainsworth.

“Dylan has a very friendly writing style that speaks to the reader,” said Scanlon. “His advice is no nonsense and covers areas others haven’t dared go. Whether it is calling black bears, deer, predators or turkeys ‘Answering The Call’ will jump into it.”

Radical Bowhunter by Dick Scorzafava: For years, Dick Scorzafava has made a name for himself in pursuit of big game with his bow. The Radical Bowhunter will chronicle his adventures in pursuit of deer, bear, and other big game.

“I have read Scorzafava for years in other publications,” said Scanlon. “When the opportunity came to add him to the pages of Outdoors as a regular it was a natural fit.”

Guide’s Flies by Tony Lolli: “I have to be honest,” said Scanlon. “The last column I wanted to add to Outdoors was a fly-tying piece. There just aren’t a lot of readers who care about how to tie a Mickey Finn or some other common fly. Then Tony pitched me his idea. Guide’s Flies will be the secret flies guides from around the country have developed for their own use. These are patterns you will not see anywhere else in print. It is the fly-tying column others will aspire to be.”

Scratchings by Dennis Jensen: Dennis Jensen is a highly acclaimed outdoor columnist from Rutland, Vermont, with a passion for turkey and deer hunting. “Scratchings” will delve head-first into his strategies with a special insight into the ways of the gobbler.

“Dennis is really the consummate professional,” said Scanlon. “He is not afraid to tackle a topic and doesn’t hold anything back. I almost feel guilty because I know how many more turkeys will be killed as the result of his columns in the magazine.”

Michigan Coalition For Responsible Gun Owners

Lansing, MI --(AmmoLand.com)- Michigan has been very active in organizing town hall meetings and other events to inform the public about the Second Amendment March in Washington D.C. on April 19th, 2010. We have had over 25 events ranging from picnics, town hall meetings, shooting competitions, a CPL course fundraiser, talks at the Capitol and manning tables at Cabela’s and Jay’s Sporting Goods stores. Along with information these events have been an opportunity to raise not only awareness but much needed funds for the March.

The people of Michigan have made donations and bought fundraising items for a total to date of over $11,000, which is over a third of the total raised so far nationally. Well done Michigan.

But it can’t stop there; we must become more active in preserving our 2nd Amendment rights. In order for this March to be as successful as we hope we need to raise nearly $500,000. It is amazing how many hoops need to be jumped through and how much money is needed to have 5000,000 people gather in D.C.

I ask all lovers of liberty and the 2nd Amendment to get on line today and make a $50 donation (www.secondamendmentmarch.com). If every Michigan CPL holder gave just $1 to the March we would have over $240,000. Imagine how much we could raise if every gun owner in Michigan gave just $1. The March is only 6 months away and we need funding now.

Can’t make the D.C. Rally?
Then join us on the State Capitol’s east lawn in Lansing on April 13th from noon-3:00 PM for a 2nd Amendment Rally. We will have vendors, entertainment and a group of distinguished speakers all proudly standing up for freedom. Please come and be a part of Michigan history.

There are other ways you can help besides financially.

• Sign up for our online newsletter.
• Join our online forums.
• Pass out flyers, add web banners and donate buttons.
• To set up a 2A town hall meeting in your area. Contact Brian for more info.

Pursuit Channel

LUVERNE, AL --(AmmoLand.com)- The Pursuit Channel is excited to announce the addition of Ted Nugent Tooth, Fang & Claw TV to its ever-expanding 2010 programming line-up.

While widely acclaimed as an American guitar hero, it’s Nugent’s work with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and lifelong advocacy for hunting that have earned him the respect of outdoorsmen around the globe. To Nugent, hunting is not just a sport; it is a way of life.

“Ted Nugent Tooth, Fang & Claw TV documents and delivers the way the Nugent family and millions of American families live in this amazing hunting lifestyle – real, raw, intense and pure,” said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Channel. “Ted Nugent is one of the most recognized advocates of hunting and the outdoor lifestyle. He will be a perfect fit for Pursuit.”

“I am not satisfied simply living the good, honest outdoor lifestyle,” said Nugent. “I am driven to promote and celebrate it with all the energy and power that I possibly can. Tooth, Fang and Claw TV enthuses honest conservationists to get more involved, and its passion and intensity recruits new enthusiasts.”

Nugent joins a number of other outdoor television producers that have moved programming to Pursuit starting January 2010.

Outdoor Channel Broadens Distribution in Comcast Utah Markets

AmmoLand.com

USA --(AmmoLand.com)- A an old retired colonel, once said. “Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident.”

This is true. Remember, the murder rate is six per 100,000 per year, and the aggravated assault rate is four per 1,000 per year. What this means is that the vast majority of Americans are not inclined to hurt one another.

Thus there is a paradox, and we must grasp both ends of the situation: We may well be in the most violent times in history, but violence is still remarkably rare. This is because most citizens are kind, decent people who are not capable of hurting each other, except by accident or under extreme provocation. They are sheep.

I mean nothing negative by calling them sheep. To me it is like the pretty, blue robin’s egg. Inside it is soft and gooey but someday it will grow into something wonderful. But the egg cannot survive without its hard blue shell. Police officers, soldiers, and other warriors are like that shell, and someday the civilization they protect will grow into something wonderful.? For now, though, they need warriors to protect them from the predators.

“Then there are the wolves,” the old war veteran said, “and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy.” Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial.

“Then there are sheepdogs,” he went on, “and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.”

If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep.

If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf.

But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero’s path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed

What are you.. Sheep, Wolf or Sheep Dog?

John Frank Receives 2009 Mossy Oak Passion Award

Mossy Oak

WEST POINT, MS – -(AmmoLand.com)- John Frank was awarded the Mossy Oak Passion Award at the Drury Outdoors annual production meeting in St. Louis, Missouri on September 18 and 19.

Each year, Drury TV Producers from all over the country gather for meetings and an annual awards banquet. Last year, Mossy Oak was honored to participate in the banquet and present the Mossy Oak Passion Award to Steve “Coon Dog” Coon. Continuing the tradition this year, Mossy Oak recognized John Frank.

“The Passion Award is given to an individual that exhibits passion for the outdoors, who always works to their fullest capacity and with great excitement, and strives unselfishly to be the best at what they do,” said Ben Maki, Vice President of Marketing for Mossy Oak. “It’s not about taking trophy animals and having a successful hunt every time they step in the field or get behind the camera. It’s about passion for the outdoors, respect for Mother Nature and unwavering energy in everything they do.”

Frank is from Richland, Iowa where he owns his own flooring company. He has two children. Frank’s hobbies include photography, videography and Harley Davidsons. He enjoys hunting caribou, turkey and whitetail.

According to Frank, “Hunting with my grandfather from age 12 provided the beginning of my hunting interests. My love for the sport has branched from well-trained hunting dogs flushing ringnecks to the gobble of a mature tom on a cool spring morning. In the last decade, my hunting sights have evolved further to include the elusive P&Y class whitetail deer. Photographing buck in velvet combined with shed antler hunting helps me to pattern mature bucks. In the future, I’d like to harvest an elk with a bow.

“Recently, my son started hunting and I love to film him learning to hunt and discovering all the outdoors has to offer,” he added.

Professional Outdoor Media Association

LaPorte, In --(AmmoLand.com)-POMA changed the dates of its 5th Annual Business Conference. The event is now scheduled for Aug. 11 – 14, 2010, in LaPorte, In.

The change was necessary due to Outdoor Retailer’s decision last week to change its 2010 Summer Market Expo dates.

“The altered Summer Market Expo dates directly conflicted with POMA’s business conference,” explained Chris Chaffin, POMA chairman. “Most of POMA’s Corporate Partner members and a large number of our media members were affected.

“To ensure members’ ability to attend both events, POMA moved its conference ahead a week. We’re grateful to the LaPorte County CVB and LaPorte Best Western for their flexibility and commitment to POMA’s conference.”

POMA’s annual business conferences offer journalists and industry professionals a wide range of business enhancement opportunities. Attendees take advantage of hard-hitting business sessions, the ability to participate in interactive shooting and product-testing events and countless networking opportunities for Media Members and Corporate Partners to share information and ideas.

During the POMA business conference, journalists generate more than $1.5 million in advertising equivalent editorial coverage.

ICarry.org

Rockford, IL --(AmmoLand.com)- I have to quickly tell you where this idea came from. I’m probably not the genius you thought I was. If you know a little about anti-gunners, you’ll know they are ALWAYS trying to pass “one gun a month” laws. Pretty self-explanatory – you can only buy one gun, or one handgun, each month.

The excuse is to stop “gun trafficking” although everyone knows criminals don’t get their guns from gun stores and dealers. It’s really just a foot in the door law. Next it’s one gun a quarter, one gun a year, or one gun period.

That’s not what I want to tell you about, though. Today I want to tell you about a man from Illinois – a very unique man – a once valuable asset to the self-defense movement. His name is John Birch and his website was www.concealcarry.org. Concealed Carry, Inc. to be exact.

Based in Oak Brook, surrounded by some of the most factually ignorant and sheepish people around, close to the heart of the beast of a city Chicago – famed as the murder capital of the country for some of recent years, John Birch and Concealed Carry, Inc, started a stir.

John knew how to say exactly what he thought without mincing words, and he had a talent at pissing people off on a regular basis. His real strong suit was getting media attention. Media attention that brought new allies to the gun rights battle.

John, with his FFL license, decided that to him One Gun a Month meant something truly more noble – finding a person in need in dangerous Chicago who could benefit the most from a FREE PISTOL.

One has to dig into the web archive to see John’s handiwork, but there it is. Media attention galore! National and even international media attention. What did it do? Raise awareness of the issue in Illinois.

The political and legal climate wasn’t quite ready for such a move, however. Concealed carry hadn’t made it to as many states, the Supreme Court had not yet ruled that yes the 2nd Amendment does protect an individual right to own and carry weapons for personal protection. There wasn’t as much fannypack carry in Illinois, and certainly no Open Carry events to my knowledge up in Wisconsin.

But now, things are quite different. In Illinois, county-by-county concealed carry is being acknowledged by county resolution. Some counties have even pushed to get legislation passed to allow people to carry. Police organizations and other highly-influential orgs are publicly supporting concealed carry.

Wisconsin has passed it not once, but twice! Only to fall short one and then two votes short of overriding anti-gun bigot Gov. Jim Doyle’s veto.

If you didn’t see the survey over at ICarry.org, I’ll tell you the results have come in so far exactly as I expected. It’s time to call in the troops. The slow-to-act gun owners across Illinois and Wisconsin needn’t be fearful of being on the “losing” team any longer.

Hopefully this was interesting to you. Hopefully we can honor the memory of the original One Gun a Month Giveaway with our own. If things go well, it will have to be one gun for each Wisconsin and Illinois. Then perhaps a third gun for out-of-state supporters.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to read this. Huge thanks goes to: BulletStop Gun Shop for helping to make this all possible!!! http://bulletstopguns.com/ILHOME.html
