Concealed Carry – Its Your Right
Wisconsin is Next in Line to Restore the Right of the People to Bear
Arms.
By Larry Pratt
Gun Owners of America
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- America has come a long way
from its 17th century founding. Massachusetts and Virginia had laws
requiring travelers to be armed. In Massachusetts, congregants had to be
armed.
That all changed, though, over the next couple of centuries when states
began imposing massive amounts of gun control. These restrictions
turned countless Americans into mandatory victims, and many innocent
lives were lost as a result.
But now, we are ever so slowly inching our way back to removing the
mountain of prohibitions on being armed in public. Prior to this year,
three states had stopped requiring law-abiding citizens to first get a
permit to carry firearms concealed in public. And now, legislators in
Wyoming have added the Cowboy State to this growing list.
Constitutional carry is the term Gun Owners of America has applied to
carrying firearms without getting prior approval from the government. It
recognizes that the Second Amendment is serious when it says that our
gun rights “shall not be infringed.” We hear statists say that all of our
rights are subject to being balanced by the “interests” of the government.
Such a view would have us forget that “We the People” are the boss, and
the government works for us.
We have the “interests;” but the government has only one
responsibility — to do what it is told.
1
For the people to be the sovereign — not just in theory, but in fact — we
must be armed. For our employees to tell us how, when and where we
might be armed is a role reversal. A disarmed sovereign is a sovereign
that has suffered a coup d’état.
Constitutional carry is also a recognition that gun control only restricts
the good guys. Criminals are not deterred by gun laws. Criminals are in
the business of breaking laws, and breaking a gun law does not result in a
crisis of conscience for criminals.
It is a huge mistake to think that any of the gun control measures on our
books, or which have been proposed, deter criminals. Consider that in
Mexico, in spite of a constitutional declaration of a right to have guns,
there is only one gun store in the whole country — in Mexico City. If you
manage to get a permit, it will be for a handgun of a fairly ineffective
caliber, or for a limited selection of long guns. Then you can make your
appointment and travel to Mexico City to finally get your gun.
Yet what dominates the news coming out of Mexico?
Guns. And the ones used by the drug traffickers are not usually the ones
available to the American public. But tens of thousands of fully
automatic machine guns have gone missing from the Mexican military.
And, strange as it may seem (sarcasm), the same planes and boats that
are used to smuggle drugs also smuggle firearms.
More civilians were murdered in Juarez last year than civilians in
Afghanistan. Right across the border in El Paso, the murder rate is
enormously lower. Texans own guns, and many of them carry concealed.
So, let’s get a grip on reality. Let’s remove the obstacles that impede the
sovereign from arming himself where he chooses and when he chooses.
It is the constitutional thing to do, after all.

Assault Clips – Brady Campaign Wants Them Banned
Expanded Sporting Rifle Ban & Invents New Demon, Assault Clips Says
CCRKBA.
Assault Clips - The GunBan Lobby’s New Demon
CCRKBA.org
BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- Brady Campaign President
Paul Helmke has, perhaps inadvertently, revealed his intentions to push
2
24 March 2011
for an expanded ban on semiautomatic sport-utility rifles, and he
invented a new demon in the process, proving he has no intention of
finding common ground with gun owners, the Citizens Committee for
the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
Writing yesterday in his blog on the Opposing Views forum about his
meeting with Obama administration officials last week, Helmke outlined
his wish list, which includes “increasing the number and type of
military-style weapons, including ‘assault clips,’ that should not be
readily available to civilians…”
“So, this is Paul Helmke’s definition of a ‘new discussion’ that
President Obama mentioned in his Op-Ed column two weeks
ago,” observed CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Sounds
like the same old rhetoric to us. Helmke wants to ban a larger
number of commonly-owned firearms, and he has invented a
new term to demonize a commonly-owned shooting
accessory. Maybe that’s what Helmke thinks Obama meant.”
Assault Clips - The Gun-Ban Lobby’s New Made Up Word
In his column, Helmke once again alludes to the “flood of guns being
illegally trafficked” to Mexico. Gottlieb said there is one glaring
omission in his statement.
“Nowhere does Helmke mention that this so-called ‘flood of
guns’ was evidently accelerated by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ scandalous Project
Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious,” he observed.
“Maybe Helmke doesn’t watch CBS news or read the
newspapers, which have revealed that those ATF operations
funneled thousands of guns into the black market pipeline
that goes into Mexico.
“Helmke complained that one gun rights organization has
declined to participate in what is quickly looking like a
charade,” Gottlieb stated. “The Citizens Committee is still
waiting for an invitation, because we would be happy to talk
about all of the guns this administration has supplied to
Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com
Mexican criminals.
“Paul Helmke and Barack Obama aren’t interested in any
‘new discussion’,” Gottlieb concluded. “They’re just putting a
new wrapping on stale ideas and hoping the public doesn’t
recognize the difference.”
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is one of the
nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization,
the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms
through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots
organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the
United States. The Citizens Committee can be reached by phone at (425)

Constitutional Carry Plainly
Explained and Defended

Constitutional Carry Plainly Explained and Defended
By Richard Church
Campaign For Liberty
Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- Concealed carry is coming to
Wisconsin.
3
24 March 2011
It is an absolute certainty that before the current legislative session is
complete, a concealed carry law will be passed and the governor will sign
it.
Such legislation has passed the legislature before, but has always fallen
victim to the governor’s veto pen. Not this time around.
But what kind of concealed carry law will we have?
For many, it seems, there is a disconnect between the rights asserted in
the First Amendment and rights asserted in the Second. No state
requires a permit to exercise the freedom of religion. You do not have to
go to the government, prove that you meet the legal requirements, and
receive permission to invite a group of friends to your home. You cannot
be jailed or fined for exercising your freedom of speech without a permit.
As a society, we are fiercely protective of our rights to freedom of
religion, speech, press and assembly. However, we are far too quick to
make concessions on the right to keep and bear arms.
What Is Constitutional Carry?
In the parlance of the concealed carry debate, laws fall into one of four
categories: Constitutional Carry (also called unrestricted or Vermont-
style concealed carry), Shall-Issue, May-Issue and No Issue. At present,
Wisconsin is a No Issue state — one of only two in the entire nation —
where citizens cannot carry concealed weapons. Some gun groups in the
state are lobbying hard to move us toward a Shall-Issue concealed carry
law. Shall-Issue means that the law will lay out the requirements to
obtain a permit and anyone who meets those requirements must be
given a permit by the government.
This is admittedly better than a May-Issue law, which gives authorities
discretion to refuse to issue a permit even to those who meet the
requirements. May-Issue, Shall-Issue and No Issue laws all fail to
recognize the right to keep and bear arms as a natural right, a concept
that is plainly evident to everyone with respect to First Amendment
rights.
Natural Rights At Stake
A quick primer on natural rights is in order. Natural rights come from
God, not government. The only legitimate function of government is to
recognize and protect the rights of those under its jurisdiction.
For further reading, see the Declaration of Independence. Any
requirement to obtain a permit to exercise a right is, at least, an
infringement of that right and, at worst, an outright denial of it.
There are currently only three states that recognize and protect their
citizens’ right to keep and bear arms: Vermont, Alaska and, most
recently, Arizona.(NOTE: Wyoming has also recently joined this list)
These states have unrestricted, Constitutional Carry laws which allow
law-abiding citizens to fully exercise their Second Amendment right
without infringement. Several other states are considering Constitutional
Carry laws. Wisconsin has a great opportunity to join these states and
end its denial of citizens’ most basic liberties.
For this reason, Wisconsin Campaign for Liberty
Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com
(www.campaignforliberty.com) is proud to partner with Wisconsin Gun
Owners and other groups in the state to lobby our legislators from the
grassroots. Together, we are working hard to have a Constitutional Carry
bill introduced, passed and signed into law. We encourage you to contact
your state representative and senator and let them know how important
this issue is to you and why a Shall-Issue law does not go far enough in
recognizing the rights of Wisconsinites.
To do so, sign the Campaign for Liberty Online Petition to demand
Constitutional Concealed Carry. To sign the petition, visit us online at

Countdown to Constitutional
Carry

Countdown to Constitutional Carry
Democrats flee the state as gun owners set sights on concealed carry
legislation.
Wisconsin Gun Owners
Madison, Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- While the Wisconsin
legislature debates the budget, gun owners prepare for their own protests
if movement is not swift to repeal Wisconsin’s ban on carrying concealed
4
24 March 2011
weapons.
In the wake of the chaos broiling over in Madison, WGO leadership
engaged in talks with legislators to support constitutional (Vermont-
style) carry.
Such a bill would not require any permit, fees, background check,
fingerprinting or the establishment of criminal databases to carry a
weapon for self-defense.
If you can legally buy the gun, you can carry it, said WGO.
While a time frame for introduction of a bill is expected soon, gun
owners are urged to contact their legislators now and urge them to stand
united with Wisconsin Gun Owners for constitutional carry.
Leading this fight with WGO are Campaign for Liberty, Gun Owners of
America and the National Assoc. for Gun Rights. Other groups, including
the United States Concealed Carry Association and Wisconsin Carry have
publicly expressed their support for constitutional carry.
And while the NRA has stated that Vermont and Alaska will be used as
the “Model” for a carry bill, NRA-ILA State lobbyist Jordan Austin
continues to refuse to answer simple questions from NRA members
about the organization’s intent on this issue.
WGO Media Impact
WGO lead a recent statewide media blitz with impact in a story by Jim
Coller writing for Gannett media. The story, Proponents hope concealed
carry issue finally gains approval in Wisconsin, ran in the Appleton Post
Crescent, Oshkosh Northwestern and online.
WGO was quoted as saying, “Reporters don’t need a license to
exercise freedom of the press and people don’t need to
undergo background checks to attend the churches of their
choice.
Likewise, the right to bear arms is an inalienable right.” To read more of

Constitutional Carry –
Barometer of Change
MAR 23, 2011 05:17P.M.
Constitutional Carry – Barometer of Change
By Corey Graff, Executive Director
Wisconsin Gun Owners
Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- Barack Obama ran his presidential
campaign on the promise of change.
But the only change he had to offer was from the big government
socialism of neoconservative republicans, to the big government
socialism of democrats.
And that’s hardly change to write home about. However, let me tell you a
story about real change.
One maxim steering good political strategy is that the extremes
determine the middle. Emboldened by our knowledge of this, we
founded WGO (now almost eight years ago) and launched onto the
scene with both barrels blazing.
We showed up at the State Capital and immediately earned the ire of the
institutional gun lobby as we proceeded to lobby for Vermontstyle
concealed carry — a notion thought frankly to be “too extreme.”
The kicker is, we were doing this while a vote was going down on a really
bad permit-to-carry bill. We got lots of angry looks. We were off to a
dandy start.
The cold welcome continued. We’d meet with legislators and discuss
what was obviously a foreign concept to them — this notion of how in
places like Vermont, the government actually does not step on its
citizens’ inalienable right to bear arms. It was like trying to describe life
on an alien planet — a place where people are free to carry their private
property without government permission slip. More than one elected
official exclaimed, “That’ll never happen in Wisconsin!” Others pounded
their fists on the table and turned red.
5
24 March 2011
I’m talking about the reaction we got from republicans —
can you imagine the treatment from democrats?
Contempt and Ignorance of the Issues
Every election cycle, WGO surveys candidates for the legislature with a
series of tough questions that go beneath the usual surface-level inquiry
like, “Do you support concealed carry?” The first year the survey
deployed, we asked specifically about Vermont-style concealed carry.
That is, does the candidate support citizens going armed without a
permit, background check, and mandatory training? Six legislators
answered yes. Many scribbled notes on the survey indicating they’d
never heard of “Vermont-style carry.”
How could that be, we wondered? Had the establishment gun
lobby completely failed to educate them on this foundational
issue? We were making friends left and right.
As Providence Turns the Tide
Eight years of effort isn’t a drop in the bucket in the big scheme of things.
But look at the events that coalesced from 1865 through 1870 in the War
Between the States — merely five years — events that brought about
massive philosophical changes to the political landscape.
Wisconsin’s ban on carrying concealed weapons came on the heels of
that conflict amidst a catastrophic sea change in political power. That the
CCW ban happened in 1871 was no coincidence — it didn’t appear out of
thin air. Where does that leave us today? After being fleeced by globalists
and centralized bankers, and with our financial backs against the wall in
a crumbling economy, the political winds of change are blowing in anew,
with fresh attitudes about freedom.
Our first efforts to introduce the concept of Constitutional Carry fell
on deaf ears, but today our progun message seems welcomed — and
legislation is being discussed. Wyoming has just become the fourth state
to restore this right.
Wisconsin is next. And that, as they say, is change you can
believe in.

Horus & Kestrel Combined
Improves Long-Range Shooting

Horus & Kestrel Combined Improves Long-Range Shooting
Horus Vision
7
24 March 2011
San Bruno, CA --(Ammoland.com)- Horus and Kestrel are now
together in one unit! Horus technology is now embedded in Kestrel 4500
NV Pocket Weather Meters, eliminating the need for a PDA.
This compact instrument can fit in a pocket, has auto weather input
capability, and still contains all the valuable features of ATrag, including
an extensive gun list, customizable targets, and truing.
Why Horus ATrag Ballistics?
With all the different brands of ballistics software on the market, why
would Horus Vision’s ATrag be the engine of choice to embed within a
Kestrel?
One of the obvious reasons was because of the military contract Horus
Vision was granted, outfitting the Army with ATrag as the exclusive
ballistics software of choice. If ATrag was trusted for our troops in the
field, then ATrag would be a good fit for Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters.
The biggest factor differentiating ATrag from other ballistics software is
the truing capability, taking your factual data and modeling an accurate
outcome of bullet drop, rather than a predictive one.
What is the benefit?
The two-in-one integration of the Horus Kestrel eliminates the need for a
ruggedized PDA (which comes with a number of accessories you would
have to lug around, as well) to calculate ballistics in long-range shooting.
Since the ballistics software is embedded within the Kestrel unit,
environmental data automatically inputs from the Kestrel side to the
ATrag side for accurate and instant solutions. It is light-weight, compact,
and all it takes to run are two AAA batteries- no chargers, plugs, or over-
sized energy sources.
About:
Horus brings cutting-edge technology to long-range shooting to help you
shoot farther with ultimate accuracy. Horus reticles, scopes, ballistics
software and accessories offer a simpler solution for making fast, precise,
bulls-eye hits consistently. Our easy-to-use reticle design and targeting
software deliver dramatic improvements no matter what your skill level.

MAR 23, 2011 01:34P.M.
A survey of Game Commission staff completed last year indicated fewer
Pennsylvania Game Commission Lifts Restriction On Taking sightings of feral swine compared to the survey completed in 2006. In
Feral Hogs In Bedford County 2008, five counties were identified to retain protection so that hunters
would not interfere with trapping operations that were ongoing. In 2009,
restrictions were lifted in four counties leaving only Bedford County
where trapping operations were ongoing.

The Game Commission has determined that the eradication of feral

swine from Pennsylvania is necessary to prevent further harm to public
and private property, threats to native wildlife and disease risks for
wildlife and the state’s pork industry. The agency is not seeking to
establish a hunting season, but is committed to rid Pennsylvania of this
invasive species.

Roe noted that the Game Commission has a “Feral Swine” section on its
website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), which can be accessed by putting your
cursor on the “Hunt/Trap” tab in the menu bar at the top of the
homepage and then click on “Feral Swine” from the drop-down menu
listing. The site includes links to the executive order, the current news
release regarding feral swine and a brochure.
Pennsylvania Game Commission Lifts Restriction On Taking Feral Hogs
Licensed hunters, including those who qualify for license and fee
exemptions, are eligible to participate in the unlimited incidental taking
of feral swine. Hunters may use manually-operated rifles, revolvers or
shotguns, as well as muzzleloaders, bows and crossbows. All other
methods and devices legal for taking feral swine must be conducted
and/or used in compliance with the provisions of Section 2308 of Title
34 (Game and Wildlife Code), which can be viewed on the agency’s
website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) by putting your cursor on the “The Law”
tab in the menu bar at the top of the homepage and then click on “Title
34: Game and Wildlife Code.”

Additionally, the agency may issue permits to authorize individuals to

engage in feral swine trapping operations, including the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Wildlife Services. Feral swine trapping, by permitted
individuals, will only be allowed from the close of the flintlock
muzzleloading season in mid-January to the beginning of spring gobbler
season, and from the end of spring gobbler season until the beginning of
Pennsylvania Game Commission archery deer season.

HARRISBURG, PA --(Ammoland.com)- Pennsylvania Game
Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced he has
lifted protection on feral swine in Bedford County and has issued an
updated executive order to allow for the incidental taking of feral swine
statewide by licensed hunters.
Any person who kills a feral swine must report it to the Game
Commission Region Office that serves the county in which the harvest
took place within 24 hours. The swine carcass must then be made
available to agency personnel, who will gather samples to monitor for the
presence of disease.

Feral swine have been declared to be an injurious, non-native, invasive
species of concern in Pennsylvania that are suspected to have been
introduced into the wilds of this Commonwealth through a variety of
means, including both intentional and unintentional releases. Feral
swine also have been determined to pose a significant, imminent and
unacceptable threat to this Commonwealth’s natural resources, including
wildlife and its habitats; the agricultural industry, including crop and
livestock production; the forest products industry; and human health
and safety.

The Game and Wildlife Code (Title 34) and agency regulations (Title 58)
provide broad authority to the Game Commission to regulate activities
relating to the protection, preservation and management of all game and
wildlife. The agency was declared to have jurisdiction over matters
relating to feral swine by the state Supreme Court in Seeton v. PGC. In its
decision, handed down on Dec. 27, 2007, the Supreme Court declared
feral swine to be “protected mammals,” and, as a consequence, feral
swine could only be taken as authorized by the agency. National Rifle Association

FAIRFAX, Va. --(Ammoland.com)- The National Rifle Association has
learned that the Washington State Patrol (WSP) has sent a letter,
apparently to every firearms dealer in the state of Washington, as part of
an investigation into “a missing/stolen AR-15.”
The WSP has requested an incredible amount of information regarding
dealer’s sales and acquisitions of AR-15’s and lower receivers over the
last nine months.

They want names, dates of births, addresses and more… from the past
nine months! A statewide search through a mountain of information for
ONE missing/stolen AR-15?

It seems preposterous to the NRA that the WSP would conceivably

request this massive amount of sensitive data, in a search for ONE AR-
15! It is the NRA’s view that there must be more to this story, a lot more.
The NRA has placed two phone calls into the WSP today in search of
clarifying information but has yet to receive any response on the matter.
The NRA has also followed up with a letter of inquiry which notes that
dealers are under no obligation to comply with the request.

We will keep our members apprised of any information that is

forthcoming from the WSP. In the meantime, NRA suggests that you
contact your State Legislators and let them know about this far-reaching
and overly-broad request of firearm dealers by the state law enforcement

Nikon Hunting
Melville, NY --(Ammoland.com)- Spring is just around the corner and
Nikon is helping savvy turkey hunters Strut Into Savings with a great
addition to their favorite turkey shotgun.
From now until May 31st hunters can enjoy up to an $80 mail-in rebate
on Mr. Tom’s worst nightmare the Nikon TurkeyPro BTR (Ballistic
Turkey Reticle).
“Designed and built with help from the nation’s top turkey hunters, the
TurkeyPro BTR will help hunters target gobblers faster and be more
confident when pulling the trigger,” said Jon Allen, General Manager of
Nikon Sport Optics. “Combining it with a huge cash rebate means this
scope is affordable for every turkey chaser in the woods.”
Available in Realtree APG, Mossy Oak Break-Up and a Matte finish, the
TurkeyPro BTR is a 1.65-5x36mm multi-coated scope with five full
inches of eye relief. The BTR reticle is designed to work as a ranging tool
as well as an aiming device. The BTR’s circle within a circle construction
allows shooters to use convergence to know when a turkey steps into
range. Hunters simply place the small circle, on low power, or the large
circle, on high power, to cover or subtend the turkey from head to wattles
at 40 yards. The center circle acts as the aiming point and allows the
shooter to still “see” the exact target spot even on low power.
The innovations with this turkey scope don’t stop with the reticle system.
The TurkeyPro also features a removable Anti-Reflective Device (ARD), a
first for turkey hunters.

Overland Park, KS. --(Ammoland.com)- The Bushnell Elite series

handgun scope offers pistol and revolver shooters a tough, high quality
scope designed to handle the heavy recoil of hunting loads.

The scope is forged from tough T5056 aluminum and built to withstand
heavy use. The multi-coated lenses feature Ultra Wide Band (UWB)
Coating, providing optimum brightness, true color across the light
spectrum and constant light transmission of 90 percent.

Purged using Argon gas, the Elite series scopes are 100 percent
waterproof and fog proof. Benefits of Argon-purging include a lesser
likelihood of dissipation from the scope body, due to the large atom size,

and the gas doesn’t create chemical reactions that can result in the
corrosion or degradation of seals. The handgun scope also features the
patented RainGuard HD lens coating, a permanent, water-repellant
coating that causes moisture to bead up and scatter less light, allowing
the scope to perform in inclement weather.

Scheduled Thursday In Phoenix

CCRKBA ‘Guns Save Lives’ Event Scheduled Thursday In
Phoenix AZ
CCRKBA.org
BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- The Citizens Committee for the
Right to Keep and Bear Arms will hold a special media event featuring
the rolling “Guns Save Lives” billboard on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at the
corner of 200 East Van Buren Street and N. 2nd Street outside the
Arizona Republic newspaper.
Appearing at the event will be CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, who
will be discussing the benefits of firearms ownership, and what gun
prohibitionists are trying to hide with their current effort to scare the
public into supporting additional restrictions on gun owners.
Anti-gun billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has teamed up
with Mayors Against Illegal Guns to send a moving billboard truck
around the country claiming that 34 Americans are “murdered with
guns every day.”
CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb said, “Bloomberg’s
campaign tells less than half of a story, so we’re setting the
record straight with the help of several outstanding Arizona
gun rights activists.”
“Bloomberg’s organization would be more aptly titled
‘Mayors Against Self-Defense’,” said Joe Waldron CCRKBA
legislative liason. “Their campaign of hysteria and the mis-
information it is spreading, inspired CCRKBA and the Second
Amendment Foundation to send out our own truck and ‘truth
squad’ to Phoenix and several other major American cities
over the next few weeks”.
CCRKBA’s mobile billboard arrived in Phoenix Monday, and has been
traveling the streets with a simple message: Guns Save Lives. Alan

Gottlieb will have handouts available, and will answer questions.
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is one of the
nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization,
the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms
through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots
