The Freedom March Continues! (Study this animated map. We are winning.) The recent success in the enactment of Constitutional Carry in Idaho (going into effect on July 1st) was good news. It set the stage for similar laws to be passed in other western, mid-western, and southern states. But the law was far from perfect. It did not include permitless concealed carry on college campuses. This leaves college students vulnerable at Gun Free Zones. (Read: Possible future massacre sites.) It also neglected to allow gun owners visiting from out of state to exercise their rights. I believe that the next …

The indictment count for the Malheur protests is now up to 26 defendants, and for the Bunkerville, Nevada protests now 19 defendants. (Some of those overlap, with the same folks getting charged for their involvement in both incidents.) The so-called “final indictee” of Malheur is said to be Jake Ryan, of Plains, Montana.

Eastern Oregon has lost a great defender of the Second Amendment: Don Curtis (RIP.) A SurvivalBlog reader wrote to mention some details that were not included in the newspaper obituary: “Don was one of the few remaining Charter Members of Snake River Sportsmen (SRS). He served as our Training Officer on the Snake River Sportsmen Board for many years; in fact since the founding of SRS some thirty three years ago I believe he held that position. Don was a Competitive Shooter participating on the National level in both Small Bore Rifle and High Power Rifle. He, in years past, …
