Gun HEET Revisited
Six years ago I posted this article proposing use of an advanced planning technique known as the Health and Education Exclusion Trust (HEET) to leave a dynastic legacy of firearm training. Such a trust might be called a Gun HEET. The Fall of the Republic and...What You Give Up with a Local Estate Planning Attorney
[Central Coast residents: You can safely ignore this article because we are here to help you with comprehensive planning.] Most of our local clients prefer to have the first meeting in person at our office in Morro Bay.

John Lott reports: The just-released data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) shows violent crime has soared under Biden-Harris. If you look at rape, robbery, and aggravated assaults (the NCVS doesn’t measure murder),...California Dad Fights Off Mountain Lion That Dragged 5-Year-Old Son by the Head
This is a brave dad who should be commended for quick action to save his son: The victim was treated for his injuries then released, but had to return to the hospital after experiencing complications with wounds to his eyes.

The CRPA on September 19, 2024, petitioned for en banc review of the Ninth Circuit panel’s decision regarding preliminary injunctive relief in May v Bonta (written by Judge Graber aka Grabber) oppressively curtailing the right to bear arms in California. En banc...Ninth Circus Panel Suddenly Bans Licensed Carry, Agrees Much of California is a Sensitive Place
The Ninth Circuit panel in the May and Carralero (“May v Bonta”) sensitive places cases yesterday issued its opinion, written by Judge Graber (i promise to refrain from adding another b to her name), which, if not soon corrected by en banc ruling (either...No CRPA, AB 262 is Alive, Engrossed and Enrolled!
[UPDATE: Gov. Noisome signed AB 262 into law on 9/22/24.] AB 262 is an innocuous sounding bill providing for the study of safety regulations relating to children’s camps. Yet given California’s recent history of attacking gun culture, we can expect this...Massachusetts Supreme Court: Switchblade Carry Ban Violates 2A
The Massachusetts Supreme Court in Commonwealth v Canjura has struck down a ban on switchblade carry as violating the Second Amendment. Following Bruen analysis, the Court could not find any historical analogues from the time of the Founding, or ratification of the...Ninth Circuit Blocks California’s “1-in-30” Gun Purchase Ban

After correcting massive errors found in FBI reports, Dr John Lott reports that at least 35% of mass shootings from 2014 through 2023 were stopped by private armed citizens. (I’m intentionally using the term “mass shooting” even though the studies,...More Knife Attacks in Gun Free Europe, Germany Pursues Knife Control
The stream of reporting continues on knife attacks in gun free Europe. I don’t know if that’s because the frequency of these attacks has increased, or if this is just due to increased media attention, but it’s always interesting to note the...Did Morro Bay Council, Staff, Police, Conspire to Infringe 2A Rights in Retaliation for Political Speech?

Breitbart reports on CNN report that more Americans are now armed for self-defense than ever before. The report cited data from Injury Prevention journal, which revealed the percentage of gun owners that cited “personal protection” as the reason for getting a gun...CBP Nabs 3 Palestinian Terror Suspects Crossing Border into California
Ominous report from San Diego: Border Patrol agents took three suspected Palestinian terrorists into custody earlier this month after they illegally crossed the border from Mexico into California, the New York Post reported.

An FBI memo sent shortly after the Covenant School shooting urged police not to release the Nashville shooter manifesto to the public. Reasons given: future mass attackers would learn and copy methods; such “legacy tokens” are often misleading and not...Supreme Court Rules Bump Stocks are NOT Machine Guns
A few days ago (June 14, 2024) in Garland v Cargill, the US Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision ruled that bump stocks are not machine guns. Actually, the Court ruled they are not “machineguns” and the Court uses that single word throughout the opinion as that...How Does Concealed Carrying of Weapons Affect Violent Crime?
Although most research finds that concealed carry reduces violent crime, several recent studies claim to show that concealed carry increases violent crime. In a new study linked here, Professors Lott and Moody analyze three possible causes for the supposed increase,...Seven Types of Gun Trusts
Here is a quick overview of seven major types of gun trusts: Trust Mill NFA Trust: This is a “simple” (sometimes shockingly simple) “cookie-cutter” type boilerplate trust designed for purchase of firearms and/or suppressors regulated under the...Benitez Blasts Bonta’s Billy Ban as Unconstitutional
Federal Judge Roger Benitez in the case of Fouts v Bonta recently ruled California’s longtime ban on billy clubs (defined vaguely and potentially including many types of objects, for example any stick intended as a weapon) as an unconstitutional infringement of...Crime Reports Plummet as Arrest Rates Plummet as Police Ignore Crime
Is violent crime really falling? Police have their hands full depriving you of your right to bear arms. Do you expect them to arrest real criminals that fight back? Not lately, and that is why there is a huge drop in the reporting of violent crime. No point in...Americans Own a Billion Magazines, Over 70% Hold More Than Ten Rounds
More evidence that so-called “standard capacity” is not at all standard, and that so-called “high capacity” is actually standard: NSSF’s Detachable Magazine Report (1990-2021) found an estimated total of 963,772,000 ammunition magazines in...Another Mass Stabbing in a Nation (Australia) with Severe Gun Restrictions
Mass stabbing at Sydney shopping mall. Australia severely restricts the natural right to bear arms, and the result is what you would expect: six killed, many more injured. Stopped by a female police officer’s gun, but not in time to prevent horrific death and...85 year old Mom Kills Intruder with .357 Magnum
An 85-year-old Idaho mother, after an intruder apparently gave her a bloody strike in the head while she lay in bed and then handcuffed her to a chair in her living room, dragged herself (along with the chair) back into her bedroom to retrieve a .357 magnum revolver....No Guns Used in 92% of Violent Crime
Guns are synonymous with violent crime in the minds of many. Why? Constant anti-gun propaganda. People are brainwashed. The reality is that 92% of violent crime does not involve any use of firearms in the commission of the crime. Guns are what violent criminals fear...There Has Never Been a School Shooting Where Armed Teachers Allowed
Despite all the leftist rhetoric against arming teachers, there has never been a school shooting at a school where armed teachers are allowed to carry a firearm for defense of themselves and students. This should not be surprising to anyone who follows mass attacks,...Get My Estate Planning Book Free with Maintenance Plan

[UPDATE: Ninth Circus issued a stay today of the injunction by Judge Benitez. Not totally unexpected, but this particular circus is fast losing credibility. The State has ZERO chance of winning on the merits under the text/history test mandated by Bruen. Furthermore,...Fed Judge Enjoins Unconstitutional CA Concealed Carry Place Restrictions
How does all of this make you feel about relying on politics and the courts to protect your family? How can the government be so fickle with your right to life? Maybe it’s time your family takes control, with a F.I.R.S.T. Family Trust? [GOOD NEWS 01/06/2024: On...Stance on Stance? Diversity in Firearm Training
What is your stance on stance? A prominent local CCW instructor saw me using my favorite default shooting stance — Modified Weaver — and told me “no one” uses it anymore. He runs large classes and apparently teaches only Isosceles, the stance...Noisome Signs SB2, Establishing Opportunity Zones for BLM, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda
After failure to pass a similar bill last year, Gov. Noisome recently signed into law SB2, which makes a concealed carry license more difficult and expensive to get, and basically worthless once you get it. But there is an upside for some: new opportunity zones for...Israel Gun Ownership Only 2%, Lack of Gun Culture Threatens Families
[UPDATE: Gun sales and license applications are now surging in Israel. Imagine that. Almost like LA, the day after a riot. Does the same thing happen with fire extinguishers?] Israel gun ownership is only 2%. By contrast, over half of Americans own guns. It is not a...CRPA Mag Must Retract Erroneous Bulletin Slamming Gun Trusts

John Lott’s Crime Prevention Research Center recently compiled evidence (here) showing that the FBI is massively understating the number of active shooter incidents that are stopped by private armed citizens. Dr Lott points to systemic reasons why this might be...California Gun Trust Planning
Presentation by Attorney Dave Duringer clears up confusion over California Gun Trust Planning. What is a Gun Trust? Is a Gun Trust Effective? Is a Gun Trust Necessary? Is a Gun Trust Recommended? YES! Every California gun owner should have one! A regular trust might...Critique of “California Gun Laws” (2023 edition)
Last year I wrote this scathing review of Michel & Cubeiro’s 2022 edition of their popular book “California Gun Laws”. Actually, my harsh criticism was limited to the portions touching on estate planning. As far as I knew, the rest of the book...Duringer Calls for Repeal of Morro Bay Ordinance # 644

You’ll be happy to hear Governor Noisome is about to sign SB 918 approving a fantastic “best of” list of choice mass shooting venues throughout California!...Japan’s Strict Gun Control Failed to Prevent Assassination
Breitbart reports: Japan has some of the most “restrictive” gun controls in the world – legal provisions that appeared not to prevent the assassination of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo at the hands of an apparent lone gunman on Friday. It was a homemade shotgun....22-year-old Handgunner with No Permit Stops AR-15 Armed Mall Attacker in Greenwood Indiana
Federal law unconstitutionally bans the sale of handguns to adults less than 21 years of age. Yet this 22-year-old hero, Elisjsha “Eli” Dicken, was alone able to take out a mall attacker armed with a rifle, who had already killed three and injured two....
