The considerable gap between my last blog post and this update was largely due to some medical issues during the previous year. I am very fortunate to be around to continue blogging.
Part 11 of the current series of posts will be forthcoming in the near future. It will transition from early armed civil population related defensive actions to development of Second Amendment related constitutional predecessors that will make up the bulk of the remaining series posts.
Note that Amazon has shut down new copy sales of The Origin of the Second Amendment and The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms by limiting access to my publishing storefront, Golden Oak Books (goldenoakbooks). Any links to Amazon on this page or on my web page, secondamendmentinfo.com, or elsewhere will no longer show sales of new copies from the publisher (these are self published books). Only used copies are available from Amazon or elsewhere.
New copies of the latest editions of The Origin of the Second Amendment and The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms are still available for purchase by mail from Golden Oak Books.
For the last week of 2025, new paperback copies of The Origin of the Second Amendment and library hardbound copies of The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms are on sale for $30 each postpaid. Also, library hardbound copies of The Origin of the Second Amendment are available for $75 each postpaid. All orders will be shipped by media mail, and note that orders from Michigan must include 6% sales tax. Orders must be prepaid by money order or check.
To order, please use this address and make checks payable to Golden Oak Books:

See my website, secondamendmentinfo.com, for mail order information and prices in effect for 2026.
One last point. My email address handle is the same, but my provider has changed to jamadotsDOTcom.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
