Anti-Gun Group Sues to Stop Concealed Firearms in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges

An anti-gun group is suing to stop a last-second Bush administration change that would allow Americans with state issued permits to carry a concealed firearm, to carry loaded guns in most national parks and wildlife refuges.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence sued the Interior Department in federal court on Tuesday.

Here is a great post from A Keyboard and a .45.  This was a blast from the past for me as I remember much talk of burying weapons and ammunition.  I think the E-tools sold in record numbers between 1986 and 1996.

Long Term Underground Firearm and Ammo Storage

There is quite a bit of ‘net’ wisdom out there on the best way to prepare and store a firearm and ammunition for “just in case”. Most of this information is theoretical and should work out just fine, but in most cases the end results of these preparations have yet to be determined.

Backwoods Home Magazine has the end results of one such experiment.

Bury a gun and ammo for 15 years

Back in the early 1990s the outlook for the nation in general and gun owners in particular seemed rather grim to many people. A few years earlier in 1986, Congress had banned civilians from owning newly manufactured machine guns. There was ever more strident talk of banning semi-automatic weapons or so called assault weapons. Many of us regarded a semi-automatic rifle as the foundation of a home defense battery. Many of us believed that more laws banning ever more types of guns were imminent. About that time I acquired a Ruger Ranch Rifle through a private sale. I decided to stash it away in a safe place just in case my worst fear was to materialize, another gun ban.

Great Opinion Piece on Private Transfers

If we could get op-eds like this printed in local newspapers throughout the country, using the arguments outlined here, we’d be in far better shape for fighting on this issue than we are right now:

However, if some people had their way, my father would be a felon the next time he passed on a firearm to a family member. These people complain about a so-called “gun show loophole,” which, if you were to accept the rhetoric of firearm prohibitionists, is responsible for an endless stream of death and carnage.

In truth, attempts to close the “loophole” are really attacks on cherished freedoms that have been quietly enjoyed by millions of Americans since the founding of our nation. With the exception of those unfortunate residents of a few nanny-states, citizens of the U.S. always have been able to gift, buy, sell and trade firearms without the interference of government.

Philadelphia City Government Makes Mistake; Threatens to Revoke Gun Licenses

In 2005, when the [state] legislature amended the law governing licenses to carry firearms, the fee for a five-year license was increased from $19 to $25. The increase, channeled into accounts for license “modernization” and “validation,” is supposed to make it possible for even small municipalities to get state grants to buy cameras for making gun-permit photo IDs.
But Philadelphia has not been collecting the $6 increase, a fact brought home to permit-holders with a bracing letter this month from Lt. Lisa King, commander of the Police Department gun permits unit.
