Three employees at a Metairie, Louisiana, Academy Sporting Goods were fired after chasing a shoplifter who was allegedly stealing a pistol. FOX Business reported that the alleged shoplifting incident occurred December 16, 2023, and three employees–including Michelle Sutton–pursued the shoplifter. WGNO noted that Sutton was working “team lead” at the store when the incident occurred. She heard other employees reporting the alleged shoplifting and immediately gave chase, saying, “I just took off, I knew I needed some form of way to help the police.” Two other employees ran outside the store with Sutton, trying to locate the shoplifter, but were...

Dan Muroff is an anti-gun liberal nutcase who is running for Congress. He is hoping to unseat fellow anti-gun kook US Rep. Chaka Fattah for Pennsylvania's 2nd Congressional District by being an even bigger anti-gun kook. In a positively illuminating interview, Muroff explains how he wants to ban semi-automatic firearms because it is not "sporting" for people to use them in self-defense. [Snip] According to him the people that want to take away a Constitutional right are the reasonable ones and by implication, those who would fight to preserve that right are the unreasonable ones. After laying out his...

FAIRFAX, Va. --(Ammoland.com)- This year, NRA-ILA worked with pro-gun legislators to include a provision in the 2012 Commerce, Justice and Science appropriations legislation to help prohibit the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from banning the importation of shotguns that are currently legally imported.

Unfortunately, some inaccurate reports have claimed that this provision would repeal the “sporting purposes” test for importation of firearms. While NRA supports repeal of the “sporting purposes”...

If you're a GOP strategist looking for key primary votes, spend your valuable advertising money on PGA Tour events. If you're a Dem trying to win over your base, focus on advertising during NBA games.

Researchers at National Media Inc., a GOP firm, analyzed survey results from a total of 218K interviews between Aug....

In it, he bequeaths money to the University of Alabama athletic department and his ashes to Bryant-Denny Stadium.

"My first choice is to spread my ashes at the stadium, second is on the Walk of Champions, and third is on Bear Bryant's statue." Davis is one of an...

LOVINGSTON -- A Nelson County judge refused yesterday to dismiss a lawsuit claiming the county had violated hunters' constitutional right to hunt. The lawsuit is being followed closely by hunters across the nation. Orion Sporting Group LLC claimed the Board of Supervisors violated Orion's rights to hunt under the Virginia Constitution by denying a special-use permit to operate a shotgun sports center where customers shoot at clay targets that simulate game. The county argues that hunting can only be defined as the pursuit of live animals and sought the suit's dismissal yesterday. Circuit Judge Michael J. Gamble said he needed...

Spectators boo as fashion models sport nooses and hoods Models sporting nooses, execution-style hoods and body-covering bandages triggered howls of protest and walkouts at Madrid's most prestigious fashion show. Carrying rosaries or crucifixes, they paraded - and stumbled - to the sounds of a man's voice saying the Lord's Prayer, followed by a woman panting erotically and iron bars screeching as they opened and closed. Spectators at the finale of the Pasarela Cibeles fashion show last night booed, whistled and called out to the vision-impaired models to guide them after some tripped. Some in the crowd said the hoods recalled...
