Right-to-Carry Reform Bill Introduced in Texas NRA-ILA The Legislature convened for its 81st Regular Session last week, and pro-Second Amendment legislation continues to be filed to benefit law-abiding gun owners in Texas. State Representative Carl Isett (R-Lubbock) has introduced House Bill 410, a measure repealing the requirement that Concealed Handgun Licensees display their carry license if they are in possession of a handgun and are stopped by a law enforcement officer who requests identification. Please contact your State Representatives and respectfully urge them to sign on as co-authors to HB 410.. Updated contact information for returning and newly elected House members can be found next week at www.house.state.tx.us. More Big Brother's New Target: Tracking of All Firearms from World Net Daily U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., is hoping to pass a firearm-licensing bill that will significantly rewrite gun-ownership laws in America.

On Jan. 10, 2009, the earth rotated. The sun rose. The Constitution still worked. Law-abiding citizens were still, well, law-abiding. Apparently, we all survived. More Wanted: Hunting Mentors from The Courier-Journal License sales indicate that the number of young hunters is declining. Theories as to why include the state's shift to a mostly urban population and kids' obsession with cell phones, text messaging and endless hours of computer face time. As far as Jeff Stewart is concerned, all of those ideas are window dressing for the real reason kids aren't hunting: Adults aren't taking them. More A Theology of Hunting: Why God Loves Hunting and Hunters from TownHall.com For PETA or some wrapped around an emotional axle Christian to make the Bible anti-hunting they would need an exacto knife.
