Additionally, he has been involved with firearms much of his life, and is extremely active in the Second Amendment, of the U.S. Bill of Rights, political arena in Nassau County and the State of New York. He is responsible, with the aid of a knowledgeable lawyer, Mr. Robert Firriolo, for changing the face of Preemption, for NYS Penal Code 400, in NYS with his case win against Nassau County (Citation: Chwick v.

Paul and Joanne met in 1994 and shortly thereafter, they began co-authoring newspaper and magazine articles on firearms policy.

In recent years, Paul and Joanne have often co-authored articles with David B. Kopel, the Research Director of the Independence Institute, and more recently with Alan Chwick.

The topics of their writing include biographical essays of persons such as First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Civil War General Ambrose Burnside, and painter Leonardo da Vinci, as well as analyses of various social and political issues.

The leading topic of their research, however, is analysis of the social and political effects of firearms and of firearms laws around the world. Among the countries Paul and Joanne have written about are Albania, Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,  Bougainville, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, DR Congo, Croatia, East Timor, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Kenya, Macedonia, Mali, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Serbia, Sri Lanka, the Solomon Islands, South Africa, the Sudan, Tajikistan, Uganda, United Kingdom, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
