Kansas State Rifle Association Topeka, Kansas --(Ammoland.com)- A 1905 court ruling from the Kansas Supreme Court took the interpretation of Section 4 of the Kansas Constitution to mean the Right to Keep and Bear Arms only exists as a collective right for those in the militia or military and “NO INDIVIDUAL RIGHT EXISTS.”
Brought to you by - AMMOLAND.COM - Firearms & Shooting Sports News Ammo Land.comSubmit Gun, Ammo and Shooting Related News at Ammo Land.com
For that reason, the NRA has worked with the Kansas State Rifle Association, Senator Mike Petersen and the Legislature, to pass a Constitutional Amendment during the 2009 legislative session, which provides new language that clarifies Section 4 and GUARANTEES an individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The language reads:
Put our Right to Keep and Bear Arms back in the Kansas Constitution Tags: Kansas, Kansas State Rifle Association, KSRA, Right to Keep And Bear Arms, US Constitution
“A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, for lawful hunting and recreational use, and for any other lawful purpose.” Our elected officials have done law-abiding Kansans a tremendous service by passing this landmark Constitutional Amendment. Now it is up to YOU to do your part on November 2, 2010 and vote this provision into the Kansas Constitution.

“I’m excited and honored to be recognized nationally as a future leader in conservation, especially by such well-known organizations,” said Bueker. “The scholarship money from the NWTF and Mossy Oak will allow me to focus on conservation opportunities and general school studies without the burden of financial obligations.” “Like Mossy Oak, Melissa is committed to conservation, and we’re proud of her efforts and desire to continue on that path while furthering her education,” said Toxey Haas, Founder and CEO of Mossy Oak. “NWTF is active in getting young people outdoors and supporting conservation efforts. We’re glad to be a part of this scholarship program with such an upstanding organization.” U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service An avid hunter and conservationist, Bueker volunteers her time helping her community, is active in many organizations such as the Future Farmers of America, the Conservation Federation of Missouri and the National Honor Society. She also received $500 local and $2,000 state scholarships from the NWTF.
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- White-nose syndrome (WNS) has killed more than a million bats in the Northeast and has spread to 11 or more states in less than four years since its discovery near Albany, New York. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in collaboration with other federal and state agencies, and tribal governments, is proposing a coordinated national management plan to address this critical environmental issue. The proposed plan is available for review and comment beginning October 28, 2010.
Bueker will receive official recognition for her scholarship at the 35th Annual NWTF Convention & Sports Show, February 17-20, 2011, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn. NWTF scholarships are set up to benefit youth with a commitment to conservation and preserving the hunting tradition, and recipients may pursue any type of degree they wish. To date, the NWTF has awarded more than $3 million through the program.
The proposed plan, a joint federal-state effort, provides a framework for WNS investigation and response. A subsequent implementation plan will identify specific actions, the entities responsible for implementation of each action, and estimated costs.

Bill White’s TX Campaign AWOL on Open Carry Issue OCT 27, 2010 12:36P.M.
Silencers or Suppressors have long suffered from a negative image among the general public due to having been used and abused by gangsters, criminals, poachers, spies and assassins in both real life and in the movies. This has given them a somewhat unsavory image and an image that detracts from there value as a hearing protection device.
OpenCarry.org Texas --(Ammoland.com)- Texas is one of only 7 states still banning the open carry of properly holstered handguns, but apparently that doesn’t bother the Texas Democratic candidate for Governor, Bill White, or his campaign handlers.
The general public are of the belief that silencers are illegal, when in fact they are quite legal and in general usage as a noise reduction device in much of United States. In the states where they are still illegal the Laws and Regulations on Noise Polution, Health & Safety at Work etc are in direct conflict with Firearms Legislation outlawing the use of Suppressors on Firearms.
Over the last few weeks, White’s campaign staffers, including Communications Director Ali Smith, have stiff-armed repeated inquiries from OpenCarry.org regarding the restoration of open carry rights in Texas.
NSSF Approved Silencer Report for 2010 Brought to you by - AMMOLAND.COM - Firearms & Shooting Sports News Ammo Land.comSubmit Gun, Ammo and Shooting Related News at Ammo Land.com
The question put to White’s campaign was pretty straight forward: “If a future legislature passed a bill restoring open carry rights in Texas, would a Governor White be inclined to sign it?”
Firearms Silencer Sales Jump 9% in 2010 Tags: ATF, BATFE, Firearms Accessories, Gun Accessories, NSSF, Shooting Accessories, Silencers, Suppressors
Ali Smith took several calls on the matter but ultimately just empty promised that “[s] omeone will call you.” OpenCarry.org’s John Pierce says “we know that “Gov. Rick Perry supports, at least in concept, . . . open carry,” Therefore, “the choice before Texas gun owners on November 2nd is very stark. Voters must choose between a candidate who runs from gun rights policy questions, or Rick Perry who frequently carries a gun himself for self-defense, and is prepared to stand his ground when necessary.” Meanwhile, no matter who wins the Texas Governor’s race, OpenCarry.org is driving on with its online petition to restore Texas open carry rights at http://www.petitiononline.com/ texasoc. This valuable tool allows voters to register that demand for open carry rights, and at the same time allows gun rights organizers to collect tens of thousands of pro-gun email addresses of Texas voters for future use to promote open carry and other gun rights policy initiatives.

Heavy duty metal rings are fused in all eight bag corners in order to easily fasten the truck bag to any truck. Four adjustable bungee cords are included with each Tuff Truck Bag.
Introducing the Tuff Truck Bag
The Tuff Truck Bag has also been designed to fit snug into any full or mid-size truck bed, but not take over all of the bed space so that you can still use your truck bed if needed. The bags can even be used in conjunction with traditional pickup truck boxes to maximize storage space. The Tuff Truck Bag easily collapses to stow when not in use and can be rolled up for storage in the included tote bag. Features at a glance: • Black in color • Waterproof and weatherproof • 40″ wide x 50″ long x 22″ tall Tuff Truck Bags
• Holds 26 cubic feet of space • Heat fusion & epoxy sealed seams • Triple fold flap to cover and shield zipper • Heavy duty to withstand the elements • Lightweight & collapsible for easy storage • Comes with storage tote bag • Heavy duty rings to secure the bag to any truck

Associated Gun Clubs Of Baltimore Candidate Recommendations
The recent statements by Tom Corbett’s opponent, Dan Onorato, who is continuing to expand his bought and paid for anti-gun positions ($10,000 from the anti-gun group Cease Fire PA), show his disdain for our safety (he would veto the self defense bill-Castle Doctrine) ‘and’ our constitution (allowing local communities to decide if the constitution applies there), among others.

Maryland --(Ammoland.com)- AmmoLand readers: this is when I remind you AGAIN of the critical importance of your vote in the General Election.
Best Regards, Kim Stolfer, Chairman activist@fyi.net
A very strong pro 2nd Amendment voter turn-out is critical. What you do or fail to do on election day will play a part in determining the political future of Maryland for at least the next 4 years.
PS: MANY Americans are awakening to the realization that, like never before, our Constitutional freedoms and our very way of life is under attack. In many ways, this election is a referendum on YOU (the individual citizen), the people of this Commonwealth and this country, and not the politicians. PLEASE try to make this event on Friday and PLEASE make sure you vote on November 2nd!!! Thank you!
Redistricting occurs every 10 years. The next Governor will have a key roll in deciding where the voting district lines will be drawn. Print The Candidate Recommendations Sheet – See Link Below Take It With You To The Polls!

About Our Recommendations And Comments On Some Of The Candidates

Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com
28 October 2010
Our Methodology When we make candidate recommendations, we are primarily concerned with the candidate’s position on 2nd Amendment issues. Unfortunately, the political landscape rarely presents us with clear cut decisions, especially when 2 or more candidates are equally qualified on 2nd Amendment criteria. We are then compelled to consider other factors as well.
things happen for the citizens of Maryland. • District 32 – House: Stephanie Hodges and David Starr, both presented solid pro-2nd Amendment candidate surveys and both are certainly worthy of serious consideration by gun owners in District 32. Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore Candidate 2010 Election Recommendations
There is probably no such thing as the perfect candidate. We must do the best we can for our members with the candidates who are running for election. Not recommending the best available candidate just because he or she is not the perfect candidate does a disservice to our members.
About: Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc. (AGC), located in Marriottsville, Maryland. The Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc. was formed on July 1, 1944 when a number of World War II veterans in the Baltimore, Maryland area began looking for a place for recreational and competitive shooting. They organized with several other Baltimore area shooting clubs to form the “AGC” Visit: www.associatedgunclubs.org
In a race between equally pro 2nd Amendment non-incumbent candidates, in addition to the candidate’s responses to our survey, any personal knowledge we have of the candidate, information from our members who bring their personal knowledge to our attention, related political experience, electability (being pro 2nd Amendment is not enough to get a candidate elected), the strength of the candidates personality.

When a race involves an incumbent running for re-election to the same seat or a different seat, the primary consideration is the incumbent’s past voting record. Many candidates know how to answer a questionnaire in order to gain the approval of this or that special interest group. Therefore, we consider candidate surveys to be of limited value, especially when an incumbent’s voting record is readily available. Talk is cheap, votes are what count.

AMMOLAND.COM SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS The very last and least consideration is the candidate’s political party affiliation. Race, gender, creed and any personal connections or issues we may have with a candidate are never considerations.

Difficult Decisions This election, we were faced with difficult choices in many of the Maryland General Assembly races. We ultimately recommended some of the candidates District 8, District 30 because they are incumbents with voting records.

We were very impressed with the following challengers and we believe that they would serve equally well if elected: • District 8 – Senate: Dee Hodges is a former member of Mt. Washington Rod & Gun Club who spent many sessions in Annapolis testifying in support of our 2nd Amendment Rights. As President and then Chairman of the Maryland Taxpayers Association, she has testified for passage of a Taxpayer Bill of Rights. • District 8 – House: Norma Secoura returned a perfect candidate survey and has related experience which would benefit her as a Delegate. • District 30 – Senate: Ron Elfenbein combines strong support for the 2nd Amendment with the energy and enthusiasm to make good

• .50 Cal Mounted on M988 Troop Carrier
• .50 Cal LRSR

The program also repeated the gun ban lobby’s longstanding complaint that the Consumer Product Safety Commission doesn’t have the power to order recalls of firearms and ammunition. Congress’s wisdom in refusing to give CPSC that power was proven in the 1990s, when CPSC staff told the Clinton White House the agency “would love to get into the gun regulation business” and anti-gun Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) introduced legislation to remove the restriction. The NRA is second to no one in supporting and promoting firearm safety, and NRA publications have regularly published announcements of voluntary recalls by gun and ammunition manufacturers. Yet since long before “Dateline NBC” used rocket motors to blow up pickup trucks in staged collisions, gun owners have rightly been skeptical of the mainstream media’s ability to report fairly and accurately on firearms issues.

Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- Question: Does the Second Amendment apply to the states because it is incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges and Immunities or Due Process clauses and thereby made applicable to the states? Conclusion: Yes On June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court, in McDonald et al. v. City of Chicago, Illinois, et al. – a case challenging handgun bans in Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois – ruled that the Second Amendment protects a

The ruling reversed the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which upheld the bans, and requires that court to reconsider McDonald in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
