The FBI-NICS no longer issues denials for most non-felony convictions for domestic violence entered in Washington State. This is based on the 2013 case of Descamps v U.S. Up until recently, anyone that had been convicted of a Fourth Degree Assault determined to be domestic violence in Washington State was in a tough position because the NICS did not recognize a Restoration of Rights for Washington state non-felony domestic violence convictions. State and federal laws on the subject of domestic violence and gun rights are very technical and you should schedule a legal consultation in order to look carefully at any convictions that you think resulted from allegations of domestic violence.

Why is it that our media and government do not ever try to connect the dots? (more…)

Texas Gun Politics
By Mark Knapp, Firearms Lawyer
Originally published in SandpointPR.
Finland & the Progressive War on Common SenseWendy Davis was a Democrat running for governor in Texas that supported the right to openly carry firearms- at least the right to carry for some Texans. If the truth be known, the state senator from Texas, who became famous as a champion for abortion rights in the Texas legislature, probably has views about firearms that are like most others in her party.

Shooting 3-Gun near Spokane
By Mark Knapp, Contributing Firearms Editor for SandpointPR.com
Patrick Kelley’s dad taught him to shoot. He went on to become an avid Bull’s-eye target shooter and shotgun competitor. After years of developing skills in the fundamentals, he started shooting USPSA and 3-Gun matches. He is now in his 50’s and one of the top 3-Gun shooters in the world with many accomplishments. Devoted to passing on the techniques he has learned to a new generation of shooters, Kelley is also an announcer for 3-Gun Nation on the Sportsman’s Channel. (more…)
Shooting Sports In North Idaho
I shoot competitively in USPSA events, IDPA and 3-gun competition. But rarely have I enjoyed the degree of fellowship and good food that overflows at local North Idaho gatherings I attend in and around Spokane and Coeur d’Alene.
Educators More Dangerous Than Guns in Schools?
http://www.sandpointpr.co…-dangerous.html
Reprinted with permission from Sandpoint PR.
Many in the education community oppose the idea of protecting schools with armed security. I talked to one principal about the idea of certifying specially trained school personnel to provide an armed presence in schools.
She was indignant that I would suggest armed personnel to protect the schools against active shooters. “Guns send the wrong message,” she insisted. Many parents and teachers get indignant about armed law enforcement in the schools.
The fact is, most school districts cannot afford armed security and just the cost of insuring volunteers could be too exorbitant. (more…)

Concealed Carry Legislation Passed for Idaho College Campuses
The new campus security law that permits concealed carry on Idaho campuses passed and has been signed by Gov. Butch Otter.
There are presently five states: namely Colorado, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon and Utah, that allow students, teachers and others to bring guns to class. Idaho and 22 other states presently leave it up to the colleges to determine who will carry on campus. Twenty-one states have enacted outright bans regarding carry on campus. The bill allows retired law enforcement officers and all people with Idaho’s enhanced concealed-carry permit to bring firearms to campus. (more…)
Leopold, Loeb, Active Shooters, Modern Man & Superman
German Philosophy. Academic thinkers like Hegel and Friedrich Nietzsche are not high on the reading lists of most Americans. Nevertheless, the outdated academic relics of old and jaded European culture continue to impact American law and culture in ways that most of us rarely consider. The 1924 murder case of Leopold & Loeb and recent mass shootings like Columbine and the Arapahoe High School shooting may actually stem from the theories of Hegel, Existentialism and other philosophical deceptions embraced by academia in the U.S. over the last 100 years.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently promulgated guidelines recommending that medical first responders provide First Aid to victims in areas that have not been secured by law enforcement.
