Notes from the Resistance
A judge has denied a Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department attempt to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of its concealed carry permitting process and the lengthy delays it has caused. [More]
And here the system was working so well…
Tell me again that we should support law enforcement.

I would appreciate your help resolving this situation promptly on a statewide basis without the need for litigation. [More]
Yeah, well, what you’d appreciate and what connected Democrat power player Sheriff Sean Kilkenny will do could be two very different things.
Say he says “No,” and then ties things up in court for years and at the end of the trail the Supreme Court pulls another Snope. Why shouldn’t he take his chances and tell her to go for it? Especially since it’s not his money, the Democrats could very well be back in the national saddle by then, and he could emerge as the scrappy warrior who took on the feds and beat ’em…

The Austin, Texas-based Liberty Justice Center on Jan. 7 filed a lawsuit on behalf of two truck drivers against the state of Minnesota, arguing that the state’s failure to recognize other states’ firearm permits violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit aims to defend the two truckers’ constitutional right to bear arms in public and carry them in their trucks across state borders. [More]
And not just truckers from the looks of things…

GOP Lawmakers Might Be Poised to Score a Major Second Amendment Victory [More]
If you call further codifying permits for rights as the national standard, continued state infringements, and salvaging deservedly tarnished reputations a “major victory”…
Not that it will pass. Or not be tied up in courts until the pendulum swings back to Democrats.

I hate to be Eeyore, but with all the hyperbole and excitement I’m seeing about national Constitutional Carry reciprocity, it doesn’t seem out of line to ask the gushers and the click baiters to provide a realistic estimate of whose votes we can count on, and which “Republicans” will join with the slim Democrat minority to keep the bill from getting to the president’s desk.
No one would like my caution to be proven unfounded more than me. The last thing I want to see with such great expectations is the wind taken out of everyone’s sails.
Anyone care to help me jump on the bandwagon?
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act’’. [More]
Well, it beats Cornyn’s.
When I posted on this the other day, the linked bill text talked permits. What am I reading wrong?
Now that he’s apparently changed that, I’m not sure why he didn’t just support Massie’s. Is the GOP squeezing him out in revenge for opposing Mike Johnson on principle?
And still no prognosis.
Who wants to bet against me and how much?
H.R. 38 (118th): Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act [More]
With permits, of course, which leaves me out.
I don’t see a prognosis yet so I’ll give mine: Good luck getting “Republicans” like Brian Fitzpatrick and Susan Collins not to join with the Democrats to keep this from ever getting to the president’s desk.
Change my mind.
Oh, and about that line… (NSFW!)

Disarming fair patrons is longstanding and throughout the Republic. [More]

The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]
Hey, waddyaknow? NRA shared credit!
The revelation that Washington State, for the first time in history, has more than 700,000 active concealed pistol licenses is proof the public is concerned about personal and community safety, and will be an issue in this year’s statewide elections, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is predicting. [More]
Anybody expecting armed Dems to change their vote?
