Notes from the Resistance
LEGAL ALERT: Today in an FPC case, Tennessee agreed that its under-21 handgun carry ban violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments and says it will start processing carry permit applications from 18-20-year-olds. [More]
Great. Now when are they going to fix this abomination?
From David T. Hardy, via an email discussion concerning SCOTUS declining to hear a challenge to New York concealed carry laws:
It just declined to grant a stay pending appeal (or, to be more exact, refused to overrule the 2nd Circuit’s decision to grant a stay), which is not really refusing to hear the case. The two dissenters suggested they were ready to jump down the 2nd Circuit’s throat if it didn’t do the right thing.
The 2nd Circuit is going to look at this case very carefully….
Napoleon, when someone was going into detail on a particular general’s military virtues and why he deserved promotion, cut him off with “Enough, tell me one thing — is he lucky?” Meaning, I think, does he get results that no one expected. The attorney in the case, Steven Stamboulieh, appears to be very, very, lucky. He is someone to watch, now and ten years from now when we in the old guard are gone.
I’m hearing of one who “is giving up teaching concealed carry because of liability insurance premiums going up.”

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]
How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.
I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.
Maybe somebody’s got pictures?
SCOTUS denies vacating 2nd circuit stay in Antonyuk, but says @GunOwners “should not be deterred by today’s order from again seeking relief if the Second Circuit” gets it wrong! [More]

I don’t see a prognosis yet, but without a Senate majority, consider the odds of passing 0%. As such, I’m not going to spend much time on this as there are other more pressing and more probable priorities to focus on.
I do note one Democrat co-sponsor, Maine’s Jared Golden, who will be up for reelection in ’24. My assessment, he’s trying to build some cred with the Fudds on something he knows can’t pass, and has the OK from the party because he’s a hundred-percenter with the abortionists. His ratings from the gun groups are pretty revealing — of them:

In a case involving fees for commercial filming in areas under the control of the National Park Service, the DC District Court has ruled that fees charged for exercising constitutional rights of the first order are unconstitutional… ‘This regime is difficult to square with the longstanding rule that the government may not “impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the federal constitution,” including the First Amendment right to free expression.’ [More]
I see this was written before a historical understanding was ruled the standard.
Still, what’s with “a right granted by the federal constitution“?

Me neither.

HPD Approves First Concealed Carry Permit for Unknown Applicant- But local guns right advocates told KITV4 that they do not know who that permit is going to, and why only one was announced to have been approved. Hawaii Firearms Coalition representative Andrew Namiki Roberts was 2nd to file, and told KITV4 the first person who filled out an application has not received any notification yet; Neither has he.

So how do we respect the person’s privacy and also find out if s/he’s a connected anti-gun Democrat or a big campaign contributor?
And when does George Young get his?
