Mass Shooting First, the mass shooting scenario: Would George Washington run to the fire? Or would he simply call 911 and run to safety? None of us can know in advance whether we will be capable and willing to deliver heroism in such a situation. We can assume our...Vigano is Right to Fight NWO, Wrong to Appease Putin
Ukraine has replaced COVID in the news and it hits me personally because my wife’s entire family lives in eastern Ukraine.

This critique of the 2022 (9th) edition of “California Gun Laws” by C.D. “Chuck” Michel and Matthew D. Cubeiro is not a critique of the entire book, but only a small portion consisting of two sections, Section 3 (“Operation of Law”...Ukraine Beats US, Allows National Carry But Only Long Guns
It’s February 2022 and Ukraine has replaced SARS-CoV-2 as the focus of all news media. My wife is from Ukraine so for many years I blogged on Ukraine on my old World Examiner blog here.

Could we see forced organ harvesting here in the US? Of course the notion seems far-fetched, but over the last couple years we’ve fetched so much culture-rending nonsense from far-away communist China that we could be up to our eyeballs in China soon.

Several decades ago, an effort to add gun training to California curriculum was opposed by pediatricians here. But other states are discovering the value of this training: Then again, it might. In much of the country, the words guns and schools do tend to go...Family and the Revolution
Excerpts: Christianity elevated matrimony to a sacrament, affirming its indissolubility. When the Roman Empire collapsed the only reality which endured to form the basis of a new society was the family. The birth of the Middle Ages coincided with the...Create a Dynasty Trust before Window Slams Shut
Dynasty trusts may be a tough sell when it comes to some millenials. How long did AOC say we have, twelve years? On the other hand, clients who are sane may benefit from acting now to create a dynasty trust before the window closes in 2026 — or perhaps...Florida Allows Teachers to Carry

UPDATE: See link below this article for updated analysis. *** When Governor Newsom approved AB 1292 on July 12, he made estate planning easier for California gun owners.

[UPDATE: For the last three years (since August 2016) I have not generally recommended the lifetime funding of gun trusts in California. Passage of AB 1292 in July 2019 has significantly enabled and clarified use of gun trusts — however, there are limits under the new...
