-Do you have your tools of self-defense nearby when you go to bed?
-Are you armed when you work at the office?
-Are you armed when you meet a stranger while walking your dog?

These gun owners survived a lethal threat. What would you do in their place?

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson issued his support for several gun control bills that would ban semi-automatic ghost guns (guns lacking serial numbers or made in 3D printers) and magazines that have a capacity of more than ten rounds. Ferguson said, in relation to bi-chamber bills that would ban high-capacity magazines, that they make a shooter more deadly as shooters do not stop to reload, pointing to shootings in Newtown, Las Vegas, Aurora and Parkland. Magazines would be banned in the state if they had a capacity of higher than ten rounds. A similar measure is being considered in Oregon, but they limit magazine sizes to five rounds.

In a crowded monochromatic marketplace, a splash of color draws the eye, no doubt.

The Supreme Court of the United States, with two Donald Trump-appointed justices now on board has evidently awakened from a ten-year slumber, agreeing to review a challenge to a handgun transport restriction in New York City.

According to NBC News, �Lower courts upheld the restriction, and the city urged the Supreme Court not to take the cases and instead to let those rulings stand.�

But there�s a new conservative majority on the high court with the additions of Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. And if the court nullifies New York�s restriction, it could signal that the doors are open to other Second Amendment cases.

SIG Sauer P365 handguns launched in 2018 had no external safety features, relying instead on internal mechanisms to prevent unintentional discharges. However, a number individuals interested in personal-defense arms feel safer and more-secure with an external mechanical safety on their personal-defense arm. The manual-safety model of the P365, introduced in 2019, provides that essential feature, combined with the revolutionary increased capacity of the micro-compact pistol.

For anyone who likes Shooting, Hunting, the Outdoors, and Tactical training, SHOT Show is a big influence. Even more so if you like guns, though apparently the organizers couldn�t figure out how to work that into the event�s clever name. The big show starts today in Las Vegas, where more than 1,000 exhibitors will converge with dealers, the media and other firearm insiders from around the globe. At every turn will be the new tools, tech and toys that could potentially improve our odds of protecting life and property, scoring higher at the range and bringing home the wild game we pursue. SHOT is where shopkeepers decide what goes on their shelves and where magazine editors, TV presenters and bloggers decide what they�ll be covering.
