Bearing Arms' Cam & Company

Despite the objections from some county sheriffs and many politically-appointed police chiefs in the state, lawmakers appear poised to give Constitutional Carry the green light this week, decriminalizing the right of legal gun owners to bear arms without first obtaining a government-issued permission slip.

Just days after Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke declared that he doesn't want to take any guns from anyone, the Democrat now insists he's not walking back the "Hell yes we're taking your AR-15" declaration he made just a couple of years ago.

A challenge to Maryland's ban on so-called assault weapons and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision upholding the ban by declaring AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles aren't protected by the Second Amendment could soon be taken up by the Supreme Court, and the Second Amendment Foundation's Alan Gottlieb explains why he's cautiously optimistic that the Court will take up the case.

Joe Biden once again demanded the Democratic-controlled Congress take up his push for new gun control laws on Monday, but as The Hill reports, many Democrats on Capitol Hill would prefer to talk about almost anything else during an election year.

A 16-year old busted for illegally carrying guns twice in 2021 now stands accused of murdering a 15-year old on a Chicago street just hours after he was in court for a hearing on one of his gun charges last week; another sign that Chicago's criminal justice system is failing to hold juvenile offenders accountable for their actions.

RedState's Brandon Morse joins Cam to discuss the political fallout of Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke's abrupt about face on coming for our guns and whether the flailing Democrat has a political future in Texas after his pathetic attempt at pandering to gun owners.

The issue? A severe lack of compliance on the part of gun owners who don't take too kindly to having their rights trampled on.

The police shooting death of 22-year old Amir Locke, a legal gun owner and concealed carry holder killed during the execution of a no-knock warrant in Minneapolis last week, has prompted protests and a renewed debate about the use of no-knock warrants. One of those critical of the practice; Bryan Strawser, chairman of the MN Gun Owners Caucus, who joins Cam to talk about the dangers presented by no-knock warrants to both legal gun owners and law enforcement.

For almost five years, Jason Pratt's been operating Tomcat Tactical Firearms from his home in the Denver suburb of Greenwood Village without issue. Then his neighbors found out, and now they're trying to shut down the FFL.

Joe Biden's high-profile trip to NYC to talk crime with Mayor Eric Adams is more about political messaging than public safety, which may please gun control activists but will do little to address violent criminals themselves.

Colorado is generally thought to be a reliably blue state, but a new poll suggests that a red wave election could sweep Republicans into power at the state capitol come November, in part because of voters dissatisfaction with Democrats' focus on gun control legislation instead of kitchen table issues.

Thirteen blue-state attorneys general have signed on to a brief supporting the Mexican government's lawsuit blaming US gunmakers for cartel violence south of the border in in the hopes of putting them out of business. But as Cam details, the cartels themselves are using things not typically found in US gun stores, including bomb-equipped drones and rocket propelled grenades.

And CNN host Jim Acosta was happy to play along, suggesting that gun owners take a "maximalist view of freedom over lives," despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of Americans use their firearms in self-defense and defense of others every year.

Half of the country's Attorneys General have signed on to an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to revisit Maryland's ban on so-called assault weapons, arguing that the Fourth Circuit got it wrong when it upheld the gun ban in 2017 and inaction from SCOTUS could lead lower courts interpreting the Second Amendment out of existence.

Armed American Radio's Mark Walters joins Cam to discuss San Jose's new mandatory fee and insurance requirement for legal gun owners, why the city's so eager to put such clearly unconstitutional laws on the books, and what 2A organizations are doing to fight back.

State Sen. Sally Harrell's not just hostile to permitless carry. She's proposing a bill that would criminalize possession of a gun without first taking a state-mandated training course, and as Cam explains, the idea is growing in popularity among anti-gun Democrats in other states as well.

Cam's back from the SHOT Show with some final thoughts on this year's event, but he's also joined by Nicole Goeser, the executive director of the Crime Prevention Research Center to talk about National Stalking Awareness Month and why she's adamant about stalking victims recognizing and utilizing their Second Amendment right of armed self-defense.

Cam checks in with Ryan Petty, who's attending SHOT Show for the very first time. Petty, who recently received his FFL, shares his experience as a new retailer, as well as some of the questions he receives from others who can't understand why someone who's been impacted by "gun violence" wants to be a part of the firearms industry.

Cam sits down with Diversity Shoot's founder Tony Simon for a wide-ranging conversation about the changing face of gun ownership and how many new gun owners in the anti-gun state of New Jersey are finding a community to call their own.

The 2022 SHOT Show is officially underway in Las Vegas, and Cam has an on-the-ground report with The Reload's Stephen Gutowski touching on Range Day, the unique opportunities for smaller companies at this year's show, and more.

After a year's absence thanks to a global pandemic, the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show is set to kick off in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday. Bearing Arms will be on the ground all week long, but we're kicking off our coverage with a preview of the event and a conversation with the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Mark Oliva.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem joins Cam to talk about her push to remove the fees for carry licenses in the state, why she believes other Republican governors should sign off on Constitutional Carry legislation, and her reaction to the latest attempts at infringing our 2A rights by Democratic governors like Phil Murphy in New Jersey.

While Philadelphia hit an all-time high in the number of homicides last year, the suburb of Chester, PA has seen a dramatic turnaround in the number of murders; not because of new gun laws, but thanks to a simple change in strategy.

It's one of the go-to arguments for anti-gun activists, but as Cam details, a "public health approach to gun violence" is really just code for "it's time to rebrand the failing gun control movement."

Delaware residents hoping to legally have a pistol in their home may soon have to first beg for permission and show proof of live-fire training, at least if gun control activists and many Democratic politicians get their way.
