You Gotta Watch ’em Every Step of the Way

Error, my a$$. Stein and his loser bureaucrat of a director, Jeffrey Smythe, intended to quietly ram it through with only token input. And but for YOUR emails and calls, they would have gotten away with it. [More]

Dealing with gun-grabbing politicians is like dealing with malevolent adolescents, which is essentially what they are.

GRNC needs the adults to step up.

Jersey Devil in the Details

New Jersey’s New “John Wick” Carry Permit Training Mandate [More]

How much competency must a citizen demonstrate in order to vote and be protected by any of the other Amendments?

One question I did not see addressed, so perhaps one of you who knows will educate me in “Comments”: If an “Only One” fails the test, how soon (and often) can they retake it, and does the same standard apply to “civilians”?

One more question: Who thinks Newark triggermorons give a damn?

NYPD Granting Fewer Gun Permits After Supreme Court Ruled It Had To Grant More, Data Shows [More]

Checking the demographics of issued permits would be instructive. Are minorities “underrepresented”? Are there quotas to address that, and do they violate the Supreme Court’s recent affirmative action ruling?

Oh, and before making him the poster child for Big Apple “gun rights,” how does Dexter Taylor vote?

Speaking of Intellectually Flawed

A federal judge denied a motion for preliminary injunction today in a lawsuit challenging New York’s “places of worship” gun ban, saying that the Bruen test “is considered by many to be an impractical and intellectually flawed approach” [More]

You know what else is intellectually flawed?

Allowing these subversive bastards to be confirmed with a voice vote so Senators can’t be held accountable and still maintain their “A” ratings.

10 Pro-Gun Americans on Why They Carry in Public [More]

MSN evidently thinks slide show click revenues warrant sidelining its typical anti-gun editorial sentiments now and then. Knowing what those are, I’m just surprised one of the given reasons wasn’t “to compensate for inadequate manhood.”

And pick a side, Ryan Thomas. This playing both sides of the street and then predicting blood in them for the DSM to spread around is unbecoming of someone who says he “believes” in RKBA.

It didn’t happen in Ohio, so stop trying to appeal to people who hate you.

Who will Judge the Judges?

A federal appeals court has restored most of New Jersey’s new gun control laws limiting firearms in sensitive public places after overturning a lower court ruling blocking many restrictions while a legal challenge plays out. [More]

Here’s the order. If someone gets killed as a result of it, I wonder how much sleep the judges will lose.

Krause was appointed by Obama and Chung was appointed by Biden. The one that concerns me here is Porter, appointed by Trump.

Police Handwringing Over Ohio Permitless Gun Carry A Big Nothing Burger

That’s a version of the old and unfounded-in-reality “blood in the streets/Dodge City over fender benders” argument the gun prohibitionists used when railing against licensed concealed carry. And note his concern was not for “public safety” but for officer safety. [More]

Back the Blue when they don’t back you…?

Ask if they’ll sign one of these:

I thought at first it might be an Ohio law thing about places that serve alcohol, but Giffords, of all groups, gives us an “out”:

Ohio also generally prohibits possession of firearms in establishments licensed to sell liquor in rooms or open air arenas where alcohol is being served on premises, although this restriction generally does not apply to people who are licensed to carry handguns or otherwise eligible for permitless carry, if they are not consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and if the establishment does not restrict firearm carrying.

I see some comments suggest carrying anyway and they’ll never know. I won’t for two reasons that have nothing to do with their property rights: First, anyone telling me up front they don’t trust me and would rather see me dead than armed won’t get a dime from me, and second, advertising up front that they’re a gun-free zone attracts dangerous scumbags I’d rather not expose myself and my family to.

The Nutty Professors

Five University System of Georgia (“USG”) professors filed suit to block a 2017 statutory amendment that removed public colleges and other public postsecondary educational institutions from the statutory definition of “school safety zone.” [More]

I’m wondering which fields in academia don’t require being an obnoxiously self-righteous leftist moron to get tenure.

Maryland governor signs gun-control bills tightening requirements, NRA sues [More]

The bastards have virtually unlimited tax plunder to test defiant weasel-wording against Bruen diktats for as long as it takes.

NRA gets the major media attention, but they’re not the only group taking action:

SAF SUES MARYLAND OVER RESTRICTIVE NEW CARRY LAW

I’ll do another update today if GOA gets involved.

A Last Ditch Attempt

The grabbers fight like cowardly children, which I suppose is a good thing.

Act Now for Permitless Carry in NC

With the General Assembly’s May 4 “crossover deadline” looming, we need a hearing for House Bill 189 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) ASAP. If the bill doesn’t clear at least the NC House, it will be dead for the two year session, effectively meaning it can’t be re-introduced until 2025. You helped us pass SB 41. Now help us pass constitutional carry, eliminating the need for a governmental “permission slip” to exercise your Second Amendment rights. With recent passage in Florida, NC is now among a minority of states which have failed to pass constitutional carry. [More]

If you’re a North Carolina gun owner worth a damn you will sign the petition and contact the Republican leadership and Judiciary Committee members. GRNC couldn’t make it easier. If you’re a North Carolina gun owner NOT worth a damn, I doubt if you’re over here reading this.

I do have a nit to pick with my friends at GRNC: I reject the notion that “some gun rights advocates have objected to the lack of a training requirement.” If they do, that makes them gun CONTROL advocates. And you know how I feel about trainers who put the thin green line over principles.

27 and Counting

Nebraska Legislature passes permitless concealed carry bill [More]

Good for them.

This is what caught my attention:

Lincoln Police released a statement after the vote: “The chief is disappointed in the legislature’s decision because the most important factor in making these decisions should be public safety and the men and women who serve our community.”

Where I come from, 55% is a failing grade.

I can’t imagine assuming responsibility to care for someone’s child without assuming responsibility to protect that child while under my care.

But then again, I’m not Brian Huba.
