Gun shop owner sues Chicago over opening new stores
July 19, 2010
By KORRINA GROM kgrom@pioneerlocal.com
If Joe Franzese has his way, he will open five gun shops within the borders of Chicago by the end of this year.
Franzese already owns one gun shop, Second Amendment Arms in Lake Villa. But his goal of opening gun shops in Chicago, including Lincoln Park and on Michigan Avenue, has been halted due to new ordinances set in place by the Chicago City Council regarding the sale and ownership of guns in the city.
Franzese and former United States Marine Robert Zieman, Sr., have now filed a lawsuit against the City of Chicago and a number of city officials, alleging the new ordinances are unconstitutional. The lawsuit was filed against the City of Chicago, Mayor Richard M. Daley - as an individual and as mayor,... [Read More]

The First Amendment Right to Carry a Gun
Jacob Sullum | July 9, 2010
Iowa is one of the relatively few states where local police still have wide discretion to decide who is allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public. In a vivid demonstration that such policies can have First as well as Second Amendment implications, a federal judge this week ruled that Osceola County Sheriff Douglas Weber violated a man's right to freedom of speech by denying him a carry permit based on his political activism. Paul Dorr, well known locally for demonstrating at abortion clinics and agitating against government spending, applied for a permit because he carries large amounts of cash as part of a balloon-selling business. Weber decided Dorr was too "weird" to carry a gun, although he had held a permit without any problems from the late 1990s until 2006. The sheriff put this notation on Dorr's rejected application: "Concern from Public. Don't trust him."

High Court’s Big Ruling For Gun Rights
June 28, 2010 - 10:07 AM | by: Lee Ross
In its second major ruling on gun rights in three years, the Supreme Court Monday extended the federally protected right to keep and bear arms to all 50 states. The decision will be hailed by gun rights advocates and comes over the opposition of gun control groups, the city of Chicago and four justices.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the five justice majority saying "the right to keep and bear arms must be regarded as a substantive guarantee, not a prohibition that could be ignored so long as the States legislated in an... [Read More]

 Dave's Guns |

I would like to have a formal review of the quality of service at Dave's Guns in Alamogordo New Mexico. I'll start with a recent purchase I made.
On June 8, 2010 my son graduated from the Police Academy in Hobbs. I purchased a Knoxx Stock and Power Pack for my son's Mossberg as a graduation gift. Eighteen days later my son tried it out for the first time. After 6 rounds were fired the stock collapsed and did not return to it's full position. It appeared that the spring had disengaged or collapsed. My son went to Dave's Guns and asked for an exchange since it was less than three weeks old and had not been used but once. Dave stated that he would have to contact the factory. His return policy is as such: all items returned had to be in proper working condition in the original package as to re-sell said item. I posed this question. What was the benefit of buying local if you had to contact the company (BlackHawk) for a replacement of a defective item. I would... [Read More]
