A business associate once told me that advice was only worth what one pays for it. Well, here’s some advice that breaks that mold.

When it comes to crow hunting, I’ve tried it all, but until recently, nothing seemed to help significantly. Magnum hand-brewed shotshell loads worthy of bringing down orbiting space junk didn’t improve results. Extra-full chokes, same thing. Bags of motionless decoys? Leave ‘em home. The owl decoy everyone seems to want to interject into the action? Not necessary. Mouth-blown crow calls? Good luck learning the language. Heavy shot? Save it for turkeys.
But, after years of experimenting, there appears to be promise for my crow-hunting comrades, Shawn Weaver, Matt Arnold and me, because our results have improved since we began our three-man hunts. Read more

As safe as can be with mountains as a backstop.
For the second time in as many weeks, a national Right-to-Carry reciprocity bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate.
On March 20, U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) introduced Senate Bill 2213, the “Respecting States’ Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.” NRA strongly supports this measure. Under this self-defense bill, an individual who has met the requirements for a carry permit, or who is otherwise allowed by state law to carry a handgun, would be authorized to carry a handgun in any other state that issues such permits or does not prohibit concealed carry, subject to the laws of the state in which it is carried.
Attorney Eric Holder had this to say in 1995. “I’ve asked the school board to make a part of every day some kind of anti-violence, anti-gun message: every school, every day, at every level. We need to do this every day of the week and just brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.” Hear him in his own words at the link below:

“We the people” trump Illinois lawmakers at ballot box and want their Second Amendment rights restored. A court battle looms to determine authority.
PASA Park, Barry, IL — In the election held Tuesday, March 20, 2012, the voters of Pike County, Illinois, approved a firearms concealed-carry ordinance by a 3,214 to 550 margin. It was one of the largest voter turnouts in county history. The ordinance directly contradicts current Illinois state law. As presented on the ballot, the ordinance took effect upon passage, and applies only to Pike County. The ordinance was placed on the ballot by a citizen initiative petition process that garnered three times the number of signatures required by law. Read more
This from the NRA:
Unquestionably the hottest issue in Second Amendment litigation today is whether the Second Amendment protects a right to carry firearms outside the home for personal protection—and if so, what might be the limits on that right. Until recently, far too many courts have wrongly claimed that because the Supreme Court’s decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago only struck down bans on handgun possession in the home, that’s all there is to the Second Amendment.
Now, there are signs that this resistance is weakening. Read more
