Self Defense and the Right to Bear Arms
(It's a Basic and Essential Human Right)

This is a resource page for finding information about about firearms, self defense, concealed carry guidelines, state laws, and various other firearms related resources.  Owning and using firearms comes with a great deal of responsibility, so it is my hope that these pages will help you find the information so that you can make your own decisions.

"Every 13 seconds, an American gun owner uses a firearm in self defense against a criminal."

"Concealed carry laws have reduced murder and crime rates in the states that have enacted them. According to a comprehensive study which reviewed crime statistics in every county in the United States from 1977 to 1992, states which passed concealed carry laws reduced their rate of murder by 8.5%, rape by 5%, aggravated assault by 7% and robbery by 3%."
