A Line in the Sand

[T]he Court will permanently enjoin Maryland’s laws restricting the carrying of firearms in locations selling alcohol for onsite consumption, private buildings without the owner’s consent, and within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration. State Defendants’ Cross Motions for Summary Judgment will be granted as to the Kipke Plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment claims, as well as the claims regarding: State Parks; mass transit facilities; schools and school grounds; museums; stadiums; healthcare facilities; government buildings; amusement parks; racetracks; and casinos… [More]

You can be trusted with your rights on this side of the line. On the other side, everything changes. Don’t ask us how or why, just accept that fact that if you disobey we may end up killing you.

Low-Hanging Fruit Gets Plucked

A man armed with an AK-47 pistol and wearing a ski mask was arrested on Monday just blocks from Fiserv Forum, where the Republican National Convention (RNC) is being held in Milwaukee, a federal law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News. [More]

See, he could get a lot closer to them.

As for the charge of carrying concealed without a license, I gotta confess being guilty of the same thing, for years. It’s just I never made myself stand out.

DODGE CITY! BLOOD IN THE STREETS OVER FENDER BENDERS!!!

States with concealed carry laws have not seen an increase in crime rates; many have seen declines in violent crime and homicide rates. [More]

And ditto fot “pemitless carry.”

It’s almost like every meltdown the prohibitonists have is based on a lie…

Inconvenient Truths

Martin Luther King Jr. was denied a concealed-carry gun permit in 1956. [More]

True enough. But, even if we don’t want to hear it, he ultimately rejected guns for himself. Then again, if we’re to accept narratives from others as being accurate representations of the content of his character, what do we say about secret FBI tapes ostensibly recording him “watching and laughing as a pastor raped a woman” ?

Care to take a crack at that, Snopes?

CNN and MSNBC will get right on the retractions…

Mighty Careless of Her

“Ms. Miller told me she had not registered the firearm at this time,” the report said. “Ms. Miller told me her brother lived and purchased the firearm in (a redacted location). [More]

So between that, trying to get it through TSA, and what sounds like an illegal transfer, it looks like this “Mighty Democrat” is hoist on her own petard.

So, does she have a concealed carry permit?

They should have let her land in New York, where they have even more “Mighty Democrat” laws…

Who’s betting on a wrist slap?

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s prohibition against allowing young adults aged 18 to 20 from acquiring a license to carry a firearm (LTCF) for personal protection. The case is known as Brown v. Paris. [More]

If nothing else, it’s a mockery of U.S. Code:

The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age…

Drilling down further, anyone see anything in here about a license? Yeah, I know, increments. Just sayin’…

Paradise Reclaimed

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court supporting Hawaii resident Christopher L. Wilson’s petition for a writ of certiorari in his challenge of the Hawaii state Supreme Court’s decree that individual citizens in the Aloha State do not have the right to carry firearms for self-defense outside of their homes. [More]

If government can say you don’t have it there, it can say you don’t have it anywhere.

The Wrong Question

The state’s license-to-carry statute violates the Second Amendment by not providing objective standards for local police chiefs to exercise their authority to deny a gun owner’s application for a permit based on a finding of “dangerousness,” a Holyoke District Court judge has held. [More]

Yeah, OK, fine.

Now tell us where that “authority” for “permits” comes from.

Mr. Pynchon, you’re up.

Not the Only One

In a recent incident, a woman reported a domestic dispute involving her armed husband. With no deputies nearby, Warnke, identifiable by his cowboy hat and badge, intervened and successfully defused the situation. [More]

And he did it all without a masked SWAT team killing everybody and their dog.

Seems like one of the few good apples…

Catch-22

Under its new policy, the LA County Sheriff’s Department says people like Turner must apply through their local police chiefs and receive a letter denying them before asking for permission from the sheriff’s department. [More]

Who then comes up with excuses why he can’t do it.

After a death threat and on the advice of an investigating cop who told me they could not do anything unless it was acted on, I carried illegally in California from @ 1981 to 2007 (when I moved back to Ohio), because I literally could not get a permit to save my life (which I did on one occasion simply by presenting).

Start @ 3:27 for my recollection.

The criminals who deserve to be imprisoned and have their lives destroyed are the goddam bastards who forced me to risk my family, freedom, and career.

On Guns and Immigration, Alabama Republican Shows Himself to Be ‘Enemy in the Gates’

Republican Rep. Reed Ingram “feels” the state’s 2022 permitless carry law, where “anyone over 19 years old can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, background check or training,” is a “bad bill.” Now “he intends to file a bill that would instead require someone to be 21 to conceal carry. They would also have to pass a hunter safety course or get a permit from the sheriff’s office.” [More]

With Republicans like this jackass, who needs Democrats?

An Age-Old Question

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has handed a significant victory to the Second Amendment Foundation and young adults in the 18-20-year age group, allowing them to apply for concealed carry licenses in the state, while enjoining the state from arresting any law-abiding citizens in that age group for openly carrying firearms during a state of emergency. [More]

If we’re going to go with text, history, and tradition, Pennsylvanian Tench Coxe would have gone down to 16… and no permit needed.
