Notes from the Resistance
Ohio’s new distracted driving law goes into effect on Tuesday, April 4. The law makes it a primary traffic offense for all drivers to use a phone or other device while a vehicle is moving, and if caught, it could come with a $150 fine and two points on your license. [More]
If you’re from or drive through Ohio and are armed, you’ll probably want to minimize excuses for the cops to pull you over. Some of them have a tendency to not exactly empathize with the decision…

Section 6 – Agreement to Restrictions and to Hold Harmless I accept and assume all responsibility and liability for, injury to, or death of any person, or damage to any property which may result through an act or omission of either the licensee or the agency that issued the license. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, the licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees from such claim, suit, or action.

That’s one way to scare people off from applying.
Florida gun owners may soon be able to carry concealed weapons without a license as the permitless carry bill moves one step closer to the governor’s desk after passing in the House on Friday. [More]
But, as we’ve been discussing of late, it won’t include open carry because “law and order” Republicans feel more beholden to the Florida Sheriff’s Association than they do gun owners.
Do what the antis do. Take the incremental win and then come back for more. Bruen‘s tradition and history are is on the side of open carry and they can’t document any credible increase in crime from lawful open carry so that prohibition will fall.
Unless gun owners are ready to take political revenge on the Vichycons — and that means having someone they’ll get behind and support to run against the squishes — there’s not much they can do but complain, which doesn’t accomplish much and is bad for the digestion…

Don’t look to the three-judge panel to rule favorably, which means the appeal will advance.
Detroit armed robber shot in chest by concealed carry permit holder after threatening to kill friend: police – The alleged robber, Joshua Fordham, is a convicted felon not legally allowed to carry a gun [More]
No worries. Gretchen Whitmer and the Democrats, abetted by “No right to work” union Fudds, are working nonstop to enact unchallengeable criminal supremacy.
Florida’s former NRA lobbyist, Marion Hammer, used to be a powerful force for gun rights. Sadly, that is no longer the case. [More]
The wackos, hillbillies, idiots, fruitcakes, and nuts have a point. Dissidents, malcontents, and enemies within all, according to her…
Here’s what she thinks of the general members that NRA’s existence depends on.
Kinda makes me want to wear something special at the upcoming annual meeting.
Once she heard “I will beat your white @$$,” the gun became appropriate, and in fact, ensured no threatened violence was carried out. [More]
As for there would have been different penalties had roles been reversed, imagine if the threat had been “I will beat your black @SS.”
In both cases, only one set of lives has been ruined.

So once more government workers will have an advantage not required by law for ordinary citizen workplaces?
No prognosis for passing yet. My guess is the percentage will be in the single digits.

San Francisco electrician hides his gun case in a backpack and his ammunition in a toolbox when he loads up his van for a day at the shooting range some 20 miles outside the city. Though he shares many of the liberal values of his neighbors—“I am an equality-loving pronoun-checking, hippie, San Francisco guy”—he conceals his status as a gun owner, worried that they would ostracize him if they knew.

The rest is behind a paywall but I’ve read enough.

What a mess! And this mess is because the NRA is so desperate for relevance that it chose to wing this effort without talking to knowledgeable people in Montana about the idea and effort. [More]
Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association exposes some heavy-handed blundering by the “800-pound gorilla” that failed to coordinate with the locals and account for the state constitution.
It’s not the first state group I’ve heard of with similar complaints. Now that they’re desperate to divert attention away from Wayne and the rubber stamp board and look like they’re doing something relevant, don’t be surprised to see more.
Subject: TFA: Contact committee members now – “REAL” Constitutional carry to be heard week of March 6 [More]
It’s not “real” unless all restrictions and prior restraints are removed, but we get it– it’s an improvement.

“New York has once again adopted a law we believe is unconstitutional, and we’re confident the federal court will bring an end to this nonsense. It’s time for lawmakers in Albany to stop trying to outsmart the U.S. Supreme Court.” [More]
I think what they’re doing is much more insidious than that.
They have tax cows they can milk for legal war chest funds, all the while depleting their victims’ resources to fight back. And they’re counting on extending things in the courts long enough for the Republicans to blow it yet again, so the Democrats can stack the court and reverse Bruen.
Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]
Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?
That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…

This is where I depart from all the “gun rights defenders” thinking that should have been enough to keep him in jail. They believe in the Second Amendment but…?

The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. [More]
Honestly, who ever heard of anyone being attacked in any of those places?

U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN), along with 43 of their Senate colleagues, today introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow individuals with concealed carry privileges in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state that allows concealed carry, while still abiding by that state’s laws [More]
Yeah, well where the hell were the Republicans when there was a chance to actually pass it?

A federal judge on Monday extended an order preventing New Jersey officials from enforcing the state’s sweeping new concealed carry restrictions, dealing another blow to a law championed by gun control advocates, Gov. Phil Murphy and his allies in the Legislature. [More]
And he’d have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for you darned activists!
