For those who may disagree about open carry should read the second amendment of the constitution: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed(The Constitution of the United States, Amendment 2).

And The right of the people to keep and bare arms, is exercised annuallyin Lansing, at the citys Capitol building.

Wednesday, April 26 , nearly 400 activists stood strong behind the 2nd amendment by commemorating togetherin a peaceful protest amongst citizens and supporters.

Its an open carry rally to educate the public on what your rights really are when it comes to fire arms, said Sheriff Dar Leaf of Barry County.

Leaf attends the rally each year because its important to him as a sheriffand citizen in the state of Michigan.

For me its my job, my duty to carry, Id hate to be caught in a situation where I didnt have it, said Leaf.

His brother Michael Leaf strongly believes in his rights as well and wants to bring awareness to thecommunity.

A lot of flak against the second amendment of the constitution right now and we need to support it because it is a god given right, says Michael Leaf.

This rally not only helps educate the community, but it also provides gun resources to those seeking gun safety.

Phil Robinson, member of Michigan Liberty Militia is a pro and legal gun activist who explains what they 2nd amendment does for him.

Basically it protects our rights as Americans, it makes us citizens not subjects to the government, said Robinson.

They want the community to know that its their right to open in carry anywhere in the state of Michigan and that choice does not make them a bad citizen.

(AUSTIN, TX May 4, 2017) State Representative Justin Holland (R-Heath) recently passed House Bill 3784, relating to persons approved by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to administer online the classroom instruction part of the handgun proficiency course.

HB 3784 allows for an approved online course provider to administer the classroom instruction part and written portion of the handgun proficiency course in an online format, in an attempt to ease access to the handgun safety and training course required to obtain a License to Carry (LTC). The Department of Public Safety uses similar learning methods for driver education, driver safety, and Alcohol and Drug Awareness.

With over one million LTC holders in the State of Texas, Im proud to author an important piece of legislation that expands access to LTC classes through online training, while still providing beneficial handgun training on the firing range, said State Rep. Justin Holland.

HB 3784 now heads to the upper chamber where State Senator Van Taylor (R-Plano) is sponsoring the legislation.

Access to our Second Amendment rights should not require law abiding citizens to jump through government regulations. As we seek to expand our second amendment freedoms, this is a commonsense accommodation that will allow LTC applicants to complete the classroom portion of the LTC class and written test online, Sen. Taylor said.

Excerpt from:
State Rep. Holland passes pro-second amendment legislation - Blue Ribbon News

When our nations Founding Fathers wrote our Constitution, they added the Second Amendment for a reason: The right of the people to keep and bear arms.

They stated emphatically in that sacred amendment that that right should not be infringed upon.

More than 200 years later, we agree with the Founders wishes and wholeheartedly respect the Second Amendment and all that it represents.

There are some people in this country who have total disdain and contempt for the Second Amendment. If they had it their way, it would be totally thrown out the window and every law-abiding citizen would have their guns confiscated by the federal government.

We suspect former President Barack Obama is one of those people.

He believed more gun laws, executive orders on guns and restricting law-abiding citizens from buying guns were the way to keep America safe.

He couldnt have been more wrong.

The former president turned a blind eye to places like his hometown of Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun laws on the books and also has one of the highest murder rates in the country.

Statistics show the majority of these weapons used in these murders in Chicago werent bought legally.

U.S. Sen Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said it best in 2016 when he noted that criminals dont care about that laws we pass with regards to guns, they never follow the law, thats why theyre criminals.

If criminals want a gun badly enough, they will simply buy it illegally. That is just more proof that more executive orders and stricter gun laws dont work.

After eight years of watching a president who had total contempt for the Second Amendment, it is nice to know that we now have a president in Donald Trump who actually gets it and has total respect for gun owners and the Second Amendment.

Speaking at the National Rifle Association annual convention Friday, Trump told the large crowd that the eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end.

Trump, the first sitting president to address the groups annual meeting in more than 30 years, assured the audience that he would defend their right to bear arms.

He told the crowd that they have a true friend and champion in the White House.

Trump promised to do away with Obamas efforts to strengthen background checks and to eliminate gun-free zones at schools and military bases.

We applaud Trump for pledging to get rid of these proposals, which actually make citizens less safe.

We believe Trump is an ardent supporter not only of the Second Amendment but for gun owners and will be a true friend to that very large group of people during his presidency.

What a very nice, welcome change!

The other plaintiffs includeThe Calguns Foundation, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and the Firearms Policy Foundation.

According to CBS SF Bay Area, the suit is filed against Attorney General Xavier Becerra. AttorneyGeorge Lee is representing the plaintiffs and contends that the high-capacity magazine ban violates [the plaintiffs] Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The Firearms Policy Coalition announced the lawsuit and explained the circuitous route which Democrats traveled to secure the magazine ban:

Last year, California Governor Jerry signed into law Senate Bill 1446 (SB 1446), which changed state statutes to completely ban law-abiding people from possessing all large-capacity firearm magazines as of July 1, 2017. Following that, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsoms Proposition 63 (Prop 63) Safety For All Act gun control initiativewhich also contained language banning large-capacity magazineswas passed by voters in the November general election.

Firearms Policy Coalition notes that the thousands of law-abiding Californians who own high-capacity magazines now must remove them from their possession or ownership in the State by July 1 at their own expense or face criminal liability and fines. Again law-abiding citizens must surrender their magazines or destroy them at their own expense.

The plaintiffs contend that the high-capacity magazine ban violates Second Amendment rights by taking away an essential for semi-automatic firearms. They claim such magazines are an intrinsic part of all semi-automatic firearms and are not merely individual pieces of personal property, but rather, are intrinsic and inherent constitutionally-protected parts of constitutionally-protected firearms.

Attorney George Lee added, Not only does the ban infringe on Second Amendment rights, but it is clearly now a taking of private property. Lee points out the suit actually goes further by claiming that the ban amounts to a de facto confiscation.
