In all 50 states, people are allowed to carry hidden, loaded guns in public, and states make their own decisions about who can do so. But the Concealed Carry Mandate that House Republicans are pushing would undo those decisions and trample states’ rights.
Congress Is Trying to Pass a Dangerous Federal Concealed Carry Mandate. Here’s How We Can Stop It.
A federal concealed carry mandate, aka concealed carry reciprocity, would gut existing gun laws, override states’ rights, and jeopardize public safety. What you need to know about H.R. 38 and S. 65.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.
