As election nears, left media out of touch with pro-gun Trump supporters

The media would like you to believe that every violent act of crime committed during President Trump’s term was his fault. From their perspective, it seems like an easy strategy: reference the riots, blame Trump, get Biden elected. But today’s average American doesn’t believe everything published by a major news outlet.

While legislation is being moved forward, that could make state conceal-carry permits more like driver’s licenses (if you are legal in one state, you are legal in all). The current laws are dictated by each state. Therefore, just because you are able to carry in your home state, does not mean you are allowed to carry in another.

Your CCW will NOT Cover These Firearms..

In any state where you can concealed-carry, a handgun is always covered. Beyond that, the law will vary from state to state. So, what firearms will CCW not cover? Surprisingly, it’s a question that doesn’t come up that often. Given that handguns are the most logical option for CCW permit-holders, the question doesn’t get asked all that much. This is really about SBR’s. The only legal firearm that logically makes sense to concealed-carry beyond a handgun is an SBR, or short
