The Thune-Vitter Amendment on concealed carry reciprocity between states was defeated today in the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. Forest Service has closed the Rampart Range Shooting Area near Colorado Springs following a negligent discharge of a handgun that resulted in the death of a person using the range. Please contact the U.S. Forest Service Regional Office at 202-275-5350 or E-mail at http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/contact/ , before Friday, if possible, to request that the range be reopened with supervision to prevent a recurrence of this tragedy.

Just a reminder, the anti-gunners are going to bludgeon us with every single accidental shooting death. The negligent discharge of a firearm not only threatens to kill or injure someone and ruin your life, it threatens the right to armed self-defense against crime, tyranny and genocide of every American Citizen. If you follow four simple rules originated by Colonel Jeff Cooper, you will be a safe shooter. These rules should be taught in every school in America, but don’t hold your breath.
Treat every gun as a loaded gun.
Never point the muzzle of a gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy.
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until your target is in your sights.
Be aware of what is behind your target. What happens if you miss?
There is a Tanner Gun Show August 1st and 2nd at the Merchandise Mart at 58th Avenue and I-25, if you are in the Denver Metro Area.
