National Park Service Carry

We'll see if the Obama Justice Department actually defends the law: Judge Blocks Bush Rule Allowing Concealed Weapons in National Parks.

More Women Buying & Carrying Weapons

An unprecedented number of women are taking their protection into their own hands by getting a gun. Gun stores are seeing more women customers than anyone can remember. Many women are also getting permits to carry a concealed weapon.

Local 12 Reporter Liz Bonis shows us why many women are in a hurry to arm themselves.

When Jenny Jeffery recently made the decision to get a license to conceal and carry a weapon she says it wasn't because she feels threatened right now, but rather:

Jenny Jeffery, Gun Owner: "What I saw, where society was going as a whole, and the need to step up and be proactive in my safety and that of my family."

Apparently, Jeffery is not alone. Homer Cole has owned Shooters Supply for nearly a decade. Read full story from WKRC-TV Cincinnati

Americans Buying Guns at Record Rate - Glenn Beck goes shooting - Obama gun bans, confiscations

I would buy guns like mad, but I already have plenty of them, and my ammo supply is also adequate. Although, I could use more food and survival equipment, I'll have to work on that.

With that said, I still can't help myself, so every time I get one of those stimulus checks from China, I use it to buy another gun. When I got my last check I went out and bought a Kel-Tek PLR-16. It's one of those pistol type AR-15s, its really cool, and could be very useful in the future if all Hell brakes loose. I also have a regular Colt AR-15, so don't worry about me.

NRA Whittington Adventure Camp

Imagine yourself in wild mountain country near Raton, New Mexico, where cougars still roam and the skies are so wide you can almost see back in time. Back to the days when Ute raiding parties rode over the mesas. Back to when legendary mountain men like Jim Bridger and Kit Carson knew every trail between Raton and Santa Fe. Puffs of black powder smoke drifted into the clear mountain skies as buckskin-clad hunters brought down mule deer and elk, antelope and bear. These men were marksmen, some of the finest America has ever known. Their very lives depended on shooting and wilderness skills. Bridger and Carson are gone into the pages of history, but their spirit lives on. You'll find it in the wild Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico, where the NRA Whittington Adventure keeps the legends of our frontier history alive.

AK47 among arsenal seized in raids

AN AK-47 assault rifle, a high-calibre sniper rifle and machine guns are among a large cache of weapons uncovered by police in a sting operation culminating in a series of Sydney raids.
The Russian-designed Kalashnikov military rifle is the first recovered by New South Wales police.
Two men have been arrested after the year-long operation targeting the illegal supply of military-style firearms and other weapons, which culminated in raids yesterday and today.
Undercover officers bought a range of illegal guns, including the AK-47, over a series of months from a targeted supplier.
Also recovered were a .50 calibre heavy sniper rifle, a Colt AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle, a WWII Austin Mark 1 machine gun and a number of sub-machine guns.
Detectives raided a home in Noble Street, Concord, today seizing 3600 rounds of 7.62 calibre ammunition.
A 62-year-old man was arrested at the residence and is being questioned at Burwood police station.
In a similar raid yesterday, in Powder Works Road, Elanora Heights, officers seized a large cache of weapons.
It included a 22 Magnum revolver, a 12-gauge shotgun, a .410 calibre shotgun and ammunition, two .22 calibre rifles, two Lee Enfield .303 bolt-action rifles, a M6 Scout dual calibre shotgun/rifle, a .270 calibre bolt-action rifle, a .45 calibre muzzle loading rifle, a 22-250 calibre bolt-action rifle and a Martini Action rifle.
Also in the haul were two air rifles, a crossbow, a metal-framed slingshot, ammunition and a silencer.
A 59-year-old man arrested at the property has been charged with multiple weapons offences including 23 counts of possessing unregistered firearms.
He was granted bail to appear before Manly Local Court on Thursday.
Firearms and Organised Crime Squad Commander Arthur Katsogiannis hailed the work of police in the operation.
"Gun crime is a blight upon our society and responsible for an array of crimes,'' Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis said.
"The seizure of these firearms will prevent them being used in the commission of any offence or in taking a human life.
"It will help make the streets of NSW safer for our community.''
The raids coincided with the State Government's gun amnesty, which runs until May 31, urging people to hand in illegal guns to local police stations.

'THUG' TAKES $HOT AT GUN GRANNY:By AUSTIN FENNER

Pistol-packing granny, who shot a man she accused of mugging her in her wheelchair, wishes she had finished the job -- because now, he's suing her for millions.

"I'm a peaceful person. I wish that I had killed him," said Margaret Johnson, 59, whose grandfather, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson, once ruled Harlem's underworld and was immortalized in several hit movies.

"I didn't think you had to pay to get mugged in New York City," she added.

Johnson and her landlord, the Lenox Terrace apartment complex, are being sued for $5 million by Deron Johnson, 48, a man with a lengthy rap sheet.

Margaret Johnson, a retired city bus driver who has a dislocated hip and a ruptured disc, said that in September 2006, she was sitting in her motorized wheelchair at Lenox Avenue and 133rd Street when Johnson tried to snatch her purse and gold chain.

She pulled out her licensed .357 Magnum and fired a round into his left elbow. Cops grabbed him moments later.

At trial, Deron Johnson, who has nine previous arrests, denied being a mugger.

He said he kicked the woman's Shih Tzu, Malika, after it attacked him, and the gun-loving granny shot him.

He was acquitted.

Johnson's grandfather was a Harlem crime lord who inspired the character, Bumpy Jonas, in the 1971 cult classic "Shaft."

He was also the inspiration for characters in "The Cotton Club" and "American Gangster."

The real-life Bumpy, who was once an inmate at Alcatraz, is famous for his battle with gangster Dutch Shultz for control of the Harlem numbers racket.

An original dapper don, he was known for his tailored suits and big handouts to the poor.

"He raised me like his daughter. I wanted to be just like Daddy. It made me a strong woman," said Margaret Johnson.

She is not bashful about her love of guns, especially the .357 Magnum.

"I love that gun. It's so powerful," she said. "I don't know too many women who can handle that gun. I almost fell on my butt when I first fired it."

Margaret Johnson and Deron Johnson are scheduled to have a staredown on April 8 when his lawyer, Craig Davidowitz, takes a deposition from her.

Davidowitz said his client suffered permanent nerve damage from the shooting.

"What's grandma doing walking the streets with a loaded gun?" the lawyer said, claiming that Lenox Terrace failed to protect his client.

"They should have known they had a tenant walking around with a loaded weapon," he said.

Johnson, who once owned an Uzi submachine gun, said she can't afford to hire a lawyer.

"I'm not spending a dime on that son-of-a-bitch," she said. "This boils my blood. Why is he picking on me again?"
