Notes from the Resistance
The South Carolina State Senate is in the second week of debate regarding a bill that would allow handguns to be carried openly in the state. House bill 3594, known as “Constitutional Carry,” is supported by most Republicans in the General Assembly… [More]
What’s to debate?
And why “most” instead of “all”?
Who are the @$$holes?

Didn’t help this poor guy, though.
I see Forbes was one of the guilty DSM parties.
I remember when Steve was trying to con gun owners into thinking he was a pal. NRA, of course, fell for it, but they’ve covered their tracks by deleting their video “Steve Forbes – a New President to Put Forward a PositiveProgram.”

United States residents traveling to the Bahamas should exercise “extreme caution” in Nassau in the wake of 18 murders since Jan. 1, the State Department said in a new travel advisory. “Murders have occurred in all hours including in broad daylight on the streets,” according to a security alert that was posted on Jan. 24 by the U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas. [More]
Bahamas law does not permit the carrying of concealed weapons.
Neither does the cruise ship that gets you there.
Maryland bill would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance to wear or carry… As the bill is currently written, local and state law enforcement officers are not exempt from the insurance requirement. [More]
There is no new thing under the sun.
Democrats wold rather see you dead than armed.
And an ignorant constituency that will be most infringed on by this will continue to vote for Terri Hill in droves.

Now, even Californians who have submitted to extensive background checks and participated in hours of training can’t legally carry their firearms without running afoul of the list of banned places — which, let’s be honest, are just about everywhere. [More]
So…Kismet: How do you vote?
And lest you think hell has frozen over and the LA Times has done an about-face on guns, read the last pararaph.

A recent Florida district court decision is being misreported or may be misinterpreted as holding that the Postal Service’s ban on carrying firearms — either openly or concealed, or storing them on USPS property — is unconstitutional. [More]
Well, it is.
Here’s one way to make it known.
West Virginia Senate OKs bill to allow veterans, retired police to provide armed security in schools [More]
It’s still way too “Only Oneish” for me. Character and judgment don’t change just because you cross an artificial prioerty line, and killers won’t care anyway.
I suppose you could argue it’s an incremental improvement, but when we saw cops get nationwide carry recogniton with LEOSA, how many made inviting those of us footing the bill to sit at their table a priority?

Data posted at the Gun Violence Archive website shows 2023 produced fewer homicides, suicides, and gun-related injuries than in 2022, which indicates expansion of permitless carry laws, allowing more people to carry firearms for personal protection, did not result in more bloodshed as anti-gunners predicted. [More]
Someone ought to write a book with that title…
Judge Says New Gun Ban ‘Openly Defiant’ Of Supreme Court Rulings [More]
And remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse!
Did Loosening Gun Control Cause A Nationwide Drop In Homicides? [More]
I’m not sure this factors into predator decisions on whether a person looks like a victim or not. Let’s be careful with claims. Just because the other side does it doesn’t mean they won’t point and scream when “our side” does…
For now I’ll take “they didn’t go up.”
File this under “Further Study Justified.”

Frankel, D-Allegheny, said he is introducing the legislation – which would penalize gun owners who illegally bring firearms into TSA baggage checkpoints by revoking their permit to carry… [More]
Who thinks that’s all he wants?

California’s New Unconstitutional Concealed-Carry Ban Hurts Black People And Women Most [More]
All true. But they’ll still vote Democrat because of wealth transfers, DEI benefits, feticide, and other leftist priorities.
And the laws never stop the ones who want to get and carry guns badly enough.
California law barring guns from most public spaces set to go into effect after appeals court ruling – Gov. Newsom signed the bill in September that starting Jan. 1 prohibits people from carrying guns in ‘sensitive’ public places [More]
I have compiled decades of exclusive proofs that “gun criminals” won’t abide by the law.
Noting that California’s “sensitive places” law severely restricting lawful concealed carry is “sweeping, repugnant to the Second Amendment, and openly defiant of the Supreme Court,” a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the law’s enforcement. [More]
It’s not just the Second Amendment subversive prohibitionists are repugnant to…
A new lawsuit was filed today against the County of Hawaii. Mr Day reached out to HIFICO a couple of weeks ago after being arbitrarily denied a license to carry firearms. We put him in contact with attorneys Alan Beck and Rick Holcombe, who filed today’s lawsuit on his behalf. [More]
I’m on the Hawaii Free Press mailing list and generally don’t have time to go through everything they send me, but they are on top of corruption there and I realize I don’t link to them enough.
They really do post a lot of eye-openers, so I suggest you bypass my shortcomings in calling attention to their stuff and bookmark their site for yourself.
“We recognize that ‘good moral character’ is a spongy concept susceptible to abuse.” [More]
Like the definition of “pornography“? Or “woman“?
I wonder if a Second Amendment advocate who believes it is a bulwark against domestic tyranny could be disqualified…
And if that would be sufficient to bring a libel suit…
Bonta’s Department of Justice will recognize only three of the eight categories of certified instructor, all three controlled by the State of California: instructors certified under the state Department of Consumer Affairs, the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or a state-accredited school to teach a firearm training course. [More]
Cut back on the instructors you cut back on the permits.
I wonder how many of the “authorized instructors” were first certified by NRA.
So much for sucking up.
[Via Jess]
So much for “the supreme Law of the Land”…
He added that the county law “as intended by the County, effectively bans the concealed carry of a firearm in Montgomery County outside of one’s home or business, effectively nullifying a state granted right to those who have applied for and received a concealed carry permit by the Maryland State Police.” [More]
Take the win, but if you accept that premise you’ve already surrendered.

It has come to our attention that some Mental Health Companies have been billing individuals that are renewing permit a fee for doing a records check. [More]
You know, just like the Founders used to do…
The Brooklyn District Attorney had “no choice but to dismiss” Council Member Inna Vernikov’s weapons charge given her gun was “inoperable” … The council member’s charge, criminal possession of a firearm, requires the weapon in question be “capable of firing bullets” — meaning Vernikov’s charges wouldn’t stand, according to the District Attorney’s office. [More]
So New Yorkers can have 80% receivers now…?
Or more likely, they were politically afraid to p!$$ off the wrong group of NY political power players…
“Stein’s NCDOJ gives wrong address for meeting. An accident? We think not.” [More]
So I guess they can unplug the “Applause” signs…
GRNC Alert: Concealed handgun training still not resolved [More]
If you’re from there, you’ve got some stuff to do.
You don’t think these hoops should be required?
Then you’ve got a LOT of stuff to do.
