The Tuff Quick Strips are injection molded from a flexible urethane material
For years, Bianchi Speed Strips have been an effective method of carrying an extra load of ammunition for your .38 or .357 revolver. I have personally used and recommended the Speed Strips to a lot of people needing extra ammo when carrying concealed.
However, for calibers other than .38/.357, shooters were out of luck. That has changed with the introduction of the Quick Strips from Tuff Products. Read More→
USCCA: U.S. Concealed Carry Association
Posted by: | CommentsThe U.S. Concealed Carry Association is an organization founded by Tim Schmidt to address the unique needs and concerns of law abiding U.S. citizens exercising their rights to carry a firearm for self defense.

Oregon Legislature Moves to Enhance CCW Holder Privacy
Posted by: | CommentsIn Oregon, records of who has been issued a concealed weapon permit are generally available under public records. However, past abuses by the media and others have prompted some Oregon sheriff’s and lawmakers to push for a change in the law, providing a level of privacy and security for permit holders.
House Bill 2727, backed by 45 legislators, would prohibit the public release of concealed weapon permit holder information, except by court order or for criminal justice purposes. This bill has about half of the legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, signed on as co-sponsors.
Oregon residents: contact your state legislators and let them know they need to support this bill. Also, visit the Oregon Firearms Federation for statewide efforts to protect your Second Amendment rights!
