Events in South Africa affirm the importance of our Second Amendment :: 07/16/2021
A friend in South Africa has been keeping me updated about what's going on there. According to him, it was "a well-planned attempt at provoking a civil uprising." What's extraordinary, though, is that, wherever armed, law-abiding citizens have been able to make a stand against the violence and anarchy, the rioters are backing down. My friend forwarded to me a round-robin letter ("the Letter") that South Africans are sharing — and that reflects his experiences. I've included excerpts from the Letter in the body of this post, but you can read the whole Letter here.

Carry Licenses Dropped While Crime Soared In Philly Last Year :: 07/15/2021
2020 wasn’t just a banner year for gun sales. The number of concealed carry licenses increased as well, according to the Crime Prevention Research Center, though the group does note that the 4.4% increase in the number of concealed carry licensees is the smallest increase that they’ve recorded since 2011. A big part of the reason for the gap between gun sales and carry licenses, according to the CPRC, is that many jurisdictions shut down their licensing completely for months during the pandemic, while other agencies operating on limited hours or by appointment were overwhelmed with requests, leading to huge backlogs and delays.
