  • Ohio: Workers protection bill
    House Bill 571, which was introduced by Joe Uecker, 66th District Representative, and is co sponsored by 30 other representatives, would amend section 2923.126 of the Ohio Revised Code. The law would not allow private employers to prohibit a concealed carry permit holder from storing the employee's handgun in a locked motor vehicle on the employer's premises. Any current employer policy prohibiting such would have to be amended.
  • Florida: Lee County erases ban on guns
    Hundreds of signs across Lee County that proclaim guns are banned at parks, beaches, along canals and at other areas are being changed to comply with state law. The state allows guns at these locations if the gun owner has a concealed carry permit.
  • Georgia: More Augusta area women purchasing firearms
    Gun sales have been on the rise in Augusta, particularly to women. "Over the last year, it's been on pretty much a daily basis," said Eddie Walden, the owner of Waldens. "We'd see (women) before, but not on a daily basis."

Right-to-Carry in Starbucks

If you want to have a nice, relaxing cup of coffee in a safe environment, try Starbucks. The coffee shop chain, generally known for environmentalist chic, is probably one of the safest places to hang out these days for a reason that doesn't fit its image Starbucks is letting customers openly carry guns in its stores. Americans thus can enjoy their rights and wash them down with a Frappuccino.

Clearing Up the Rumors: The Truth About The "Gun Tax Bill"

Friday, May 29, 2009

In the last few weeks, NRA-ILA has received hundreds of e-mails warning us about "SB-2099," a bill that would supposedly require you to report all your guns on your income tax return every April 15.

Like many rumors, there’s just a grain of truth to this one. Someone’s recycling an old alert, which wasn’t even very accurate when it was new.

There actually was a U.S. Senate bill with that number that would have taxed handguns - nine years ago. It was introduced by anti-gun Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), and it would have included handguns under the National Firearms Act’s tax and registration scheme. This has nothing to do with anyone’s Form 1040, of course.

Fortunately, S. 2099 disappeared without any action by the Senate, back when Bill Clinton was still in the White House. We reported about it back then, just as we report about new anti-gun bills every week. Now, it’s time for gun owners to drop this old distraction and focus on the real threats at hand.
