New York had a law that prohibited adults from generally carrying a firearm (including a concealed handgun) upon their person in New York without a state-issued license. These licenses were only issued upon proof of “good moral character” and “proper cause.” This is frequently referred to as a “may issue” licensing scheme, which is not based on objective criteria.
The 2023 Membership Drive has now started. The Liberty First Foundation is starting a way that our fans can help support our cause of restoring the Constitution to its original intent.
If you carry a firearm for self-defense, then you already understand that bad things can happen, and the best defense can be a proactive one. Self-defense incidents do not end when the police arrive, though; in fact, the physical fight for your life may just be the beginning.
As a gun owner, it’s a good idea to have not only your everyday carry (EDC) gun but some secondary defensive measures as well. The old saying “if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” comes into play when all you have or know is your gun.
As we welcome each new year, it’s typical to think about making changes. There are many things we’d all like to do with our lives, and it’s a cultural tradition to frame them as New Year’s resolutions.
Here we are in 2022. A new Year. 2021 was a hard year for most of us. With COVID and the rising cost of living many of us are frustrated and concerned. I know that the Liberty First Foundation wasn’t heard from much in 2021. But all of that is about to change. As the title states and if you are reading this you have already noticed that in the new year we have launched a new website.
Some would have you believe that the only people that can properly interpret the Constitution are people with advanced degrees. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is the Framers of the Constitution wrote it so that it could be read by anyone.
How is compliance with the Constitution enforced? That has been tasked to the People. The opening words of the Constitution are, “We the People in order to form a more perfect union.” The real question is not who is charged with ensuring compliance but how do We the People enforce compliance? One of the ways to ensure compliance is to establish Constitutional Compliant Counties and Municipalities.
If you were to go out on the street today and ask people, “What type of government do we have in the United States?” A vast majority of them would say that we are a Democracy. While these people are partially correct they are at the same time very wrong.
Alerted by a party of dispatch riders sent to warn the town (the most famous of which was Paul Revere) 77 militia members met the British forces on the town green at Lexington. After being ordered to surrender their arms in face of far superior numbers, the militia began to disperse. Just then, a single shot was heard, prompting an active engagement. During the fight, eight militia members were killed, and another 9 wounded. Only one British soldier was wounded.
