Gilbert, Arizona: A panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that Hawaii’s ban on butterfly knives violates the Second Amendment. Knife Rights filed an important amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of the appellants in the case of Teter v. Lopez.
In its decision, the Court reversed the district court’s judgment in favor of Hawaii and remanded the case back to the district court “for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.” The Court also denied the appellees’ request to remand the case for further factual or historical development in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, determining that only “legislative facts” were relevant and further development of the facts was unnecessary since the case presented only a legal question. Click to read the full opinion.

Funding From Dollars Raised at Local Friends of NRA Banquet
The NRA Foundation has awarded the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Department a grant totaling $6,000 to fund equipment for School Resource Officers assigned the responsibility of protecting our schools. “We are very excited about being the recipients of this grant,” said Sheriff Robert W. “Bobby” Hawkins Jr., adding, “and we are pleased that the NRA is making an investment in the protection of our schools and community.”
Recently, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office received funding for four new School Resource Officer positions for two (2) secondary schools and two (2) primary schools through a Department of Criminal Justice Grant. Those positions will place additional law enforcement resources at Mecklenburg County Schools. The Grant from The NRA Foundation will provide Colt firearms to those officers and will be used to protect the students of Mecklenburg County Public Schools and Mecklenburg County citizens as well.
Mecklenburg County School Superintendent Paul Nichols commented, “Many thanks to Mr. Lee, Mr. Wells, and the members of the Friends of NRA that supported this grant for the safety of our new middle and high school complex. Our new school facility was designed to provide the best safety features available…but no built-in features are as important to us as our team of SRO’s (School Resource Officers).” Nichols added, “They work so hard to support and interact with our students and staff, realizing that their first priority is to establish good relationships with the students, particularly those that come to our schools from difficult home circumstances.

Grand Island, NE – Some homeowners prefer a shotgun or carbine as a home defense weapon. These long guns provide extra peace of mind at night but require bigger storage containers than pistols. SnapSafe offers the solution. Under bed safes, keep larger firearms, ammunition, and other valuables secure, allowing quick and convenient slide-out access when needed.
Three sizes of SnapSafe Under Bed Safes offer the right-sized secure storage and feature a slide-out draw for easy access to the safe’s contents. All models have a slim profile for mounting below a bed’s frame. Large and XXL models are wide enough to hold most defense shotguns and carbine rifles. The medium safe is best suited to pistols or other valuables like jewelry, documents, data backup hard drives, and extra ammunition. Read more
