I'm Kendall Montgomery and this is Ultimate Concealed Carry News. Each week we assemble
the top stories from network news, online news outlets and videos relevant to you, bringing
you your weekly gun news all in one place.
On this week's show, staunch anti-gun advocate Piers Morgan has been fired from CNN, gun
confiscation may be on the way in Connecticut, a Utah school district arms it's officers
with AR-15s and more Detroit residents are refusing to be victims and using guns to defend
themselves against criminals.
CNN has chosen to go a different route with their coveted 9pm slot and has cancelled Piers
Morgan's show. The British host has been VERY outspoken about his anti-gun stance and a
recent Variety Magazine article showed Morgan's already faltering ratings fell "more sharply"
once gun control "became a frequent subject" on his show.
Here's FOX News' take on Piers' cancellation.
Morgan's anti-gun response was so outspoken that more than 56,000 people signed a petition
in a single day asking that he be deported due to his alleged targeting of the Second
Amendment. For now, Americans have chosen to deport him from their television screens.
As we recently reported, tens of thousands of gun owners in Connecticut chose not to
register their semi-automatic rifles to comply with a hastily-passed gun control law, and
now the state taking action.
The Capitalism Institute claims to have obtained a copy of notarized letters Connecticut officials
are sending out to late registration applicants. It's unclear if the state plans to start prosecuting
gun owners who don't comply with the warning.
InfoWars Host Jakari Jackson breaks down the letter's demands and argues that registration
leads
to gun confiscation.
Utah's Granite School District's Police Department will now be carrying AR-15 rifles in addition
to their sidearms. The Department found that in a rapid-response situation, they needed
to be able to better equip their officers for that type of emergency situation because
they wouldn't be able to wait for backup. Equipping all officers with semi-automatic
rifles will help parents rest assured their kids are safe.
Granite School District Police Chief Randy Johnson explains their use of the AR-15s.
We saw the value of such training at Arapahoe High School just before Christmas where the
attack on that school lasted only 80 seconds because the school's armed guard ran toward
"the noise of gun shot."
Last week we featured the story of a Detroit mother who defended her home and her children
from 3 intruders using a semi-automatic rifle, and now even more Detroit homeowners are refusing
to be victims. ABC 7 Detroit has the story.
That's
all for this week's news. I'm Kendall Montgomery, thank you
for watching and we'll see you next week.
