Be a good victim or be a good witness, both of these are synonymous and go together. Oakland, California has a new Chief of Police or 4-Star General, we are a bit confused by that. We will consider this situation during our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters. The Oakland Chief has some advice for dealing with out of control crime; “be a good witness”. Yep, that will stop criminals. If history has taught us anything, it is that giving in to criminals reduced crime. Or does it? During our Brownells Bullet Points segment, we will once more go to the Emergency and Survival Gear...

Representatives in Indiana are attempting to eliminate the requirement for a “gun permit” and institute a Constitutional Carry system that follows the Bill of Rights. Not surprisingly, there are some who oppose liberty and the rule of law. For our Warrior of the Week question, we ponder, does the government have the authority to hold Constitutional Rights hostage and then ransom them back to the people? Do you support a state-sponsored extortion program? We have a special guest interview for you as well. Our friend, Sonny Puzikas; bodyguard, actor, and small arms instructor has an...

Virginia Declaration of Rights, in U.S. constitutional history, declaration of rights of the citizen adopted June 12, 1776, by the constitutional convention of the colony of Virginia. It was a model for the Bill of Rights added to the U.S. Constitution 15 years later.
The Virginia declaration, largely the work of George Mason, was widely read by political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic. It declared that “all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights” of which they cannot deprive themselves or their posterity. These rights were “the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.”
Specific civil liberties enumerated included freedom of the press, the free exercise of religion, and the injunction that no man be deprived of his liberty except by the law of the land or by the judgment of his peers.
