In a short 6-second video posted to YouTube, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis answered “Of course” when asked if he would sign a constitutional carry bill. The bill in question, HB 103, would allow those lawfully allowed to own a firearm to carry concealed or open without a Florida Concealed Weapon License. Florida would still issue licenses for concealed carry reciprocity…
I’d say this would be considered a Dumb Gunowner of the Day story, but the woman that fired the gun in this incident was a felon that wasn’t supposed to have a gun in the first place. There are conflicting stories of what took place, but the probable one is where a woman’s fiance and brother were arguing in a…

Rural areas can be attractive to criminals because of fewer witnesses and often much slower police response times. A 74-year-old woman in rural Ferndale, CA, apparently knew this since she was armed when she arrived home later…
In Casa Grande, Arizona, a man claiming self-defense might have got overzealous in confronting someone leaving a convenience store. A man was walking out of the store and asked 21-year-old Jerome Denmark if he had some drugs. Allegedly, Denmark told the man, “He wasn’t into that kind of stuff.” Denmark told detectives, “Something didn’t feel right,” and thought the man…
During concealed carry classes, a fairly common question is, “How many rounds do I need?” Another instructor I know answered that question with, “I don’t know.
