New Concealed Carry Law Takes Effect July 1 – Plus a Lib Bonus: Vehicle Weapons Now Must Be Locked Up [More]

Though they are significantly less powerful than real firearms, non-powder guns such as BB or air guns can be deadly, and should be regulated as such. [More]

A New Jersey attorney who was denied a gun permit is suing Springfield Township and its police department in federal district court, alleging they violated his right to bear arms because of pro-Palestinian social media posts…. In records that Saadeh obtained through the state Open Public Records Act, police wrote that granting the permit renewal “would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.” [More]
Don’t stop there. Sue them for libel.
And no, I’ve changed no positions. I’m only going on facts presented and extrapolating from there while channeling my inner Thomas More.

When gun owners apply for concealed carry permits in Mecklenburg County, sheriff’s office background checks have sometimes turned up sensitive health information, including whether a person has had an abortion or has a sexually transmitted disease… The sheriff’s office, through a spokesperson, said the agency has no control over what information health providers choose to send. In a statement, MCSO said the records sent are dependent on the provider’s discretion. [More]
They can’t specify the information they want? And the providers don’t have policies and procedures in place approved by their risk managment departments to only provide what is required by law?
And why the hell is this required by law anyway?

ATF Says ALL Braced Pistols Are SBRs, In Violation Of The Law [Watch]
That’s one more bit of housekeeping. I wonder if whoever wrote the response is close to retirement and just doesn’t care.
The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a third Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, B&L Productions v. Newsom, for conference on Friday, Jan. 24. The case challenges California’s statutes which ban gun shows on state-owned property. Because the gun shows at issue are not only opportunities to view and purchase firearms, but also for like-minded individuals to assemble and share ideas, the case presents questions about both the First and Second Amendments. [More]
Having followed this issue for many years, I say apathetic gun show attendees own their share of the mess they’ve allowed. They’re no doubt part of the majority that don’t contribute to efforts like this to clean up that mess.
Based on the record and arguments in this case. the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment would require this Court—as counseled by the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment decisions—to declare the parks issue in Plaintiffs’ favor.’ But… [More]
A small concession aside, the “but” is all you need to know.
That and he’s one of those Trump judges we’ve been led to believe would turn things around.

“I’ve been suicidal for a long time, and when I saw that the leaked draft, it made me upset and then it made me want to, I don’t know,” Roske said. “I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him.” Roske said another motivating factor was that he heard the Supreme Court was going to loosen gun restrictions, which would make it easier for people to acquire guns.

Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station. [More]
So, someone who wants to “make gun control an absolute PRIORITY???!!!” found herself defenseless in a situation she wants to force more people into?

Major 2A win in Ohio involving an individual indicted for possessing a firearm while under indictment for crime of which he was never convicted. [Watch]
If I’m reading this right, (Republican) prosecutor Melissa Powers evidently believes Ohioans elected a Republican majority so that she could deny the Second Amendment to a man whose robbery indictment was dismissed.
That’ll be useful to know if she ever seeks higher office.

Karina’s Bill advocates for the use of ex parte hearings to obtain orders of protection, immediately triggering a warrant to confiscate the subject’s firearms and ammunition… What can/will President Trump do? [More]
I think I just found my next article…
Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]
I have a bad feeling about this:
Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”
We know that doesn’t work.
Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

Cornyn and senators tell ATF director no new policies before Trump takes over [More]
They know any new rule will require a comment period extending into the new administration, which can kill it, but it’s a way to make gun owners think they’re doing something for them.
But enforce existing Intolerable Acts, right, Mr. Bipartisan Safer Communities Act?

The national Liberal Gun Club said it has received thousands of training requests since the election, more than in all of 2023. A spokesperson for the group estimated that roughly a quarter were from LGBTQ people.

The local chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association, a leftist analogue to the National Rifle Association, said it saw a surge in paid memberships; [More]
