Online Fair Chase and Hunter Ethics Learning Module Launched by Boone and Crockett Club

MISSOULA, Mont. – The Boone and Crockett Club announced today that they have officially launched their online education platform to teach hunter ethics. Thanks to a grant from the National Rifle Association’s Hunters’ Leadership Forum (NRA-HLF), a team of Boone and Crockett Club Fair Chase subject matter experts and educators formulated the world-class online learning experience to help communicate the importance of Fair Chase ethics when hunters head to the field. The Fair Chase and Hunter Ethics curriculum takes a deep dive into the roots of conservation, the value of hunting within the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, and the importance of Fair Chase ethics.

“We are very pleased to team up with the NRA-HLF to offer a world-class digital education experience on the topics of Fair Chase and hunter ethics,” said Luke Coccoli, director of conservation programs for the Boone and Crockett Club who led the development of the curriculum. “This code of ethics is essential to showing respect for the game we hunt and forms the foundation for our responsibility to wildlife and wild places.” Read more

NSSF Hails Bicameral Letter Protecting Lake City Army Ammunition Plant from Political Intrusion

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praised a bicameral letter signed by over 100 Members of Congress and U.S. Senators warning the Secretary of the Army not to risk military readiness to appease gun control special interests.

The letter to Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth warned that succumbing to political pressure from New York Attorney General Letitia James to end the commercial utilization of ammunition produced at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Mo., could have potentially devastating effects on military readiness. A Defense Department contract allows the plant to maintain peak readiness of machinery and skilled personnel by funding the cost through commercial utilization. Previously, the U.S. Army found machines that had been mothballed and a reduced skilled labor force when the U.S. military and allied nations needed ammunition produced at peak levels to sustain the War on Terror.

“Ensuring our military forces are equipped with the ammunition they need to defend our nation should never be a political football for gun control special interests or the politicians supporting their radical agenda,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The short-sighted and ham-fisted attempt to force gun control policies at the expense of military readiness is unfathomable to most. Fortunately, our nation’s military readiness is a priority for over 100 Members of Congress and U.S. Senators who signed this letter urging the Army Secretary to put military readiness ahead of special-interest partisan politics.” Read more

SAF, Partners Petition SCOTUS for Review in Challenge of Gun Ban

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal challenge of the Illinois ban on modern semi-auto firearms and “large-capacity magazines” have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking certiorari in the case of Harrel v. Raoul.

SAF is joined by the Illinois State Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., C4 Gun Store, LLC, Marengo Guns, Inc., and a private citizen, Dane Harrel, for whom the case is named. The federal complaint was originally filed in January 2023. They are represented by attorneys David Thompson, Peter Patterson, and Will Bergstrom of Cooper & Kirk, PLLC and David Sigale in Wheaton, Ill.

“Clearly,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “the Illinois gun and magazine bans are unconstitutional under principles set down in the 2008 Heller ruling and the 2022 Bruen decision. In both of those opinions, the high court said the Second Amendment protects firearms in common use. It is indisputable that modern semiautomatic rifles and magazines holding more than ten cartridges are in common use by tens of millions of U.S. citizens, so such a ban is, in the court’s own words, ‘off the table.’” Read more
