The North Dakota House will be voting on 3 pro-gun bills today. Please use the link below to contact your Representative urging them to support HB 1341, HB 1340, and HB 1339.

HB 1341 recognizes the right to self-defense while on the grounds of the State Capitol. The amendment, however, will turn the bill into a summer study, and essentially the bill dies. There will be a motion on the House floor to remove the amendment. We want a yes vote on the motion to remove the amendment and then pass the bill in its original form.

The eXergy, or XRG, line of bullets were created by Sellier & Bellot as an alternative to lead ammo without losing any performance or stopping power. These are hollow point bullets capped with aluminum to make sure they retain their shape in the air, while expanding rapidly upon impact with a target. This company did extensive testing while creating these bullets, and they can be considered a �premium� type of hunting ammunition due to the way they are made, the excellent performance and the ability to take down even the largest game animals at long range.

This cartridge provides shooters a round that they can use for self defense, hunting, target shooting, and recreational fun.

Learning from one�s own misfortunes is smart, but it�s wiser to learn from�and avoid�the misfortunes of others. For American Second Amendment supporters, the Canadian experience provides a chilling and instructive lesson in what gun controllers really want: the end of civilian firearm ownership. For many Americans, Canada is as familiar and relatable as neighboring states of the Union. Canada and the U.S. share a border, a common language, cultural touchstones and various commercial and sporting pursuits.

The New Mexico House Judiciary Committee on Friday approved House Bill 100 by Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe), legislation imposing a mandatory 14-day waiting period on all firearm purchases, by a 6-4 vote. This legislation will not "enhance" the existing FBI background check process in any way as the author claims; it will only delay your ability to exercise your Second Amendment right to defend yourself, your family and your property. Criminals do not adhere to a "cooling off" period. This restrictive measure now heads to the full House for consideration. Please contact your State Representative and urge him or her to OPPOSE HB 100.

If you ask them, most people will give you their impression of armed defense. Is it trivially easy or is it impossibly hard? Let's ignore Hollywood and look at what real people do every day. I think almost anyone can learn armed defense if they are willing to take instruction and then practice what they were taught. This is what I�ve learned from firearms students and instructors.
