SurvivalBlog’s News From The American Redoubt

This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, we focus on the rapidly-growing Second Amendment (2A) Sanctuary Movement. Note that here is model legislation widely available to recommend to your own county commissioners.

Somehow, a link to the racist Northwest Territorial Imperative wiki page keeps getting added to the “Related Pages”  list at the bottom of The American Redoubt Wikipedia page. This keeps happening even though there is NO CONNECTION between the two movements, and despite the fact that The American Redoubt movement is quite anti-racist. So I’d appreciate it if someone who watches Wikipedia could zap that Northwest Territorial Imperative link, and keep zapping it, whenever it pops up again. Thanks!

The new book Survival And Resistance In Evangelical America: Christian Reconstruction In The Pacific Northwest seems to have some popularity. It is ranked in the Top 100 in the History of Religion & Politics category at Amazon.com. But please don’t feed the Amazon beast! Instead, please order all your books from BooksAMillion (BAM).

Reader D.M. sent us an Idaho legislative update:

“Idaho gun owners may soon receive additional protections against unconstitutional federal executive orders. A bill called H. 300 The Small Arms Protection Act has been introduced in the Idaho legislature. H. 300 would prohibit any “official, agent, or employee of the state of Idaho, or a political subdivision thereof” from assisting in federal firearm-related confiscation or other enforcement actions that are contrary to Idaho law or the state constitution.

The idea behind the Small Arms Protection Act is that the Second Amendment sets only a lower limit on our freedoms, and that Idaho (or any other state) can provide greater protections. Other states have enacted additional protections for free speech, searches and seizures, and (after the Supreme Court’s Kelo decision) private property rights. Enacting additional protections for firearm owners is the next step in the Second Amendment sanctuary movement.

The Small Arms Protection Act has not yet been introduced in the Idaho Senate, but three senators reportedly are interested. There’s not much time to get it enacted. Idaho’s legislative session ends April 24th. Remember, the White House’s press release last week said, ominously, that these were only “initial actions.” We should expect more soon.

Idaho residents should contact their legislators and urge them to support the Small Arms Protection Act. Here’s a link to determine who your state legislator is.”
