2nd Amendment

Discussions FINDING RESOURCES BY ANDREA BOGARD

Welcome back to 2A Discussions! In an age of information overload, sometimes it’s hard to find the pieces you need to make informed decisions. Today we are going to look at some resources to help you learn what’s going on legislatively, but also things to help you live the 2nd Amendment in your daily life.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) celebrates its 150th Anniversary this year in Houston, Texas. They are arguably one of the most commonly recognized names in 2nd Amendment advocacy. Among their many print and digital resources, they have a page that outlines current litigation by state. This is incredibly helpful for checking out what’s going on in your region at a glance. The US Concealed Carry Association is another critical resource for today’s 2nd Amendment proponent. This is an online source that provides education on concealed carry across a variety of subjects. One of their most important and user-friendly features is their online concealed carry reciprocity guide.

This is a free site that helps you identify where you can legally carry based on your current licensing.

The DC Project is one we talked about a few issues back.

Their premise of education, not legislation for violence mitigation combines with a strong focus on advocacy for the increasingly diverse gun-owning populace.

On the subject of concealed carry, there are some women-specific groups that run the gamut of education and practical carry topics. The Well Armed Woman is a one stop shop for mental game tips, training programs, creative concealed carry options and legal do’s and don’ts. Another women’sspecific organization is A Girl & A Gun (AG & AG). You can check out some awesome ladies from one of their events in the story “I Want to Go Places” in this issue. AG & AG is a by women/for women group that focuses on training, education and community.

Perhaps the most important 2A resource is the 2nd Amendment itself. With all the information, politics and policies, the 2nd Amendment is clear and concise:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
