Tens of thousands of gun owners and Second Amendment activists were sent a message by Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) on Saturday that was eerily reminiscent of what other civil rights advocates were told when they visited the South two generations ago: �You are not welcome here.� If the late Charlton Heston, past five-term National Rifle Association president were still alive and present, as he was in 1999 in Denver following the Columbine tragedy, he might have told Lewis, �We�re already here.�

I just bought my son his first air rifle. It is a Gamo G-Force breech break rifle in .177 caliber (4.5 mm) shooting a 12 gram steel ball or pellet at 360 feet per second: painful, but not dangerous unless you hit someone in the eye.

The synthetic polymer stock and steel barrel weigh in at just over 4 pounds and from butt plate to muzzle crown, the single-shot rifle is just over 37 inches long. It is perfect for a young man or woman, and will bring him many pleasurable hours shooting at targets, �plinking� or convincing the neighborhood field rats that they are not welcome on our property.

A bill that supporters argue would strengthen Second Amendment rights could be a disaster for the image of the Grand Strand, officials in multiple jurisdictions said.

On Tuesday, Myrtle Beach Police Chief Warren Gall said a measure under consideration in the general assembly could make law enforcement�s job more difficult, because it would be legal to carry a weapon openly as long as a user doesn�t intend to use it for an unlawful purpose. But police can only prove someone intended to use a gun unlawfully after a crime has occurred, he said.

Depending on your political leanings, the 2017 legislative session was either an exercise in right-wing extremism or a long-overdue course correction for the state of Iowa. Regardless of which camp you�re in, you have to acknowledge that what transpired in the Iowa Capitol over the past few months might only be prologue. This same group of lawmakers will reconvene in January 2018, and there are indications it will push even farther down this same path.

Nothing says "Montana" more than a gun show and as you can see behind me here at Montana expo park's four season arena is filled with over 600 vendors but guns and ammunition is not the only thing offered. Of course for many the different choices of guns and ammo are the main attractions. However there's also chances to join gun clubs like the Missouri River Women Shooters.
