Ahh it’s time to hit the open road for that American pastime: the road trip. Where are we going? Who cares? But even if your drive is just getting from point A to B, how do you carry your firearms while you’re on the road? The most obvious answer is that your pistol is in…
A city’s civic center, a high-school football game, and one bad actor in the crowd. A shot rang out in the middle of a crowd of several hundred people.
